I saw a much wider range of movies back then. With everything so accessible it's a lot easier to get depth in specific areas now. That's not often a good thing.

I used to rent films based on the cover, particularly for horror movies. I barely notice the covers now.

Italian horror would have been part of that. I'm thinking of the covers to Demons & Demons II for example Profondo Rosso was definitely picked up by reading good things about it in movie magazines. Hard to do when you don't read far so as not to spoil it for yourself. That was one I was definitely watching out for. Partly so I could read the rest of the articles

Typing of pot luck, some of my (dad indulged) early comic buying was in rummage stores as much as the fairly few comic stores. Old bookstores with little comics sections or antique stores that had picked up comics and had just hidden them away in boxes. Big long boxes of well, who knew what?

There's a chain of CD/DVD stores called F.Y.E., and I still go on potluck hunts there, as they have used CDs mixed in with the new/recent ones.

I'm still a bit hardwired to go round rummage shops.

The more untidy a store is, the more fun I generally have. But these days, rummage shops have been overtaken by charity organisations that are run like well drilled military operations, and the fun (and variety) isn't really there.

Still, every now and again I'll find somewhere and I'll be completely lost for a few minutes in old boxes of comics and magazines. Usually, much to the amusement of whoever I'm with.

Oh and while I was looking up the cover of demons (again), how you would like to know more about an Argento/ Sandman/ Iggy Pop combo? You would? Then read on here

That's all very well, but, unfortunately, the last Argento film I liked was 1987's Opera.

Back in 2008, I panned Mother of Tears on my blog:

Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm quite proud of that last line:

"Calling that kind of film Giallo is like calling a comedy film Comedy."

Actually, the was for the "Yes, I can see it's a bandwagon. But what have they done for me lately?" response. You have a blog?

"Bandwagonesque" is an album by Scottish indie rock band Teenage Fanclub.

I loved Scrooge McDuck's accent on Ducktales!

I love Shirley Manson's accent. I've been know to imitate it in my Legion World posts.

I tried developing a French accent once. Blaze just kept laughing

Parsley voodoo, Francis!

Ooh la la, crossaint, chocolat, escargot!

A friend of mine once fell for a guy with a nice Spanish accent. He was a douche, but she sure loved that accent.

I found out today that one of my Facebook friends apparently taught Penelope Cruz how to speak English.

Too bad no one taught her how to act.

Oh, yeah, I went there.

Among my other Facebook friends is Jimmy Keegan, drummer of Spock's Beard, but also notable for having been a voice actor as a child. Among his roles was Henry Bigg on The Littles, and numerous kids who learned that "knowing is half the battle" on G.I. Joe.

Several of my Facebook friends have beards.

A couple of them are beards.

*Rimshot*



Gold star for you, Tracker!

It's going to be fun going through LT's friends list and guessing which ones are beards!

I have had some form of facial hair since I was about 19. I've had a goatee for18 years. I had a full beard a few times, but I like having a goatee better. The only time I've been clean-shaven in that whole period was in 2001, when I did drag for Halloween. Once was enough for that.

I like having a bit of stubble, but I don't like growing my moustache or having a full beard.

My facial hair doesn't grow on the side of my face so I can only pull off the mustache/goatee combo.

I know a guy who doesn't have any leg hair at all.
