Oh no

My least favorite "exhibit" has returned!

Trans-Siberian Express

...as featured in the film Horror Express:
This tour sounds like fun--but I really like trains. I might be disappointed if nothing horrific happened, though.

Admirably dorky

The Evil Eye



I just got (from Ebay) a great American movie poster for this Italian film directed by Mario Bava. Beebo doesn't remember the movie (though she liked it), so I'm posting the trailer above. It has a nice b-movie cast: Leticia Romain, John Saxon, and Valentina Cortese. Here's a version of the poster that is hanging proudly in our living room (at least through Halloween):

The original Italian version is translated as The Girl Who Knew Too Much. Oddly, the trailer for the American version includes plot elements not found in the original.

Big Eyes

I just went to the optometrist and got my pupils dilated. Now I have big crazy black orbs, like Deebo the Cat when he's staring at you in a dark room. This makes me only semi-effective at work for the next few hours. I had to draw the blinds all the way and I'll wear sunglasses if I go out into the hallway.
