Found this somewhere in my internet travels...

Bronson & Delon Go West

Love this photo from Kimberly Lindbergs' blog entry on Terence Young’s Red Sun (1971).

Funny Girl charity invite Toronto 1968

Recently was given a treasure trove of old cinema books and as I was flipping through one of them, this fell out.

And below is the Odeon Fairlawn Theatre on Yonge Street, north of Lawrence Avenue.  Notice the Yonge streetcar tracks that are visible in the foreground.

Cannes 1975

And just stumbled upon the 1975 Cannes poster. Was Jodorowsky the art designer that year?

Cannes 1976

My wife and I saw this poster in our favourite pizza place in Cannes back in May (add Papa Nino's to your tour guides) for the 1976 edition of the festival. Amazing! Anyone have a spare one kicking around? Found one of eBay for over $300...

A little on the red side, but some frames from a 35mm print in the "collection" that will soon go to a good home in Colorado.

A selection of three stylish labels from the over one hundred 16mm films I rescued the other day. Yes I run a orphanage for abandoned film as well as a home for wayward girls.

R.I.P.

This one is also from the heart. If you love DePalma (and if you don't, you can do what Ted Nugent instructs those who feel like gettin' mellow to do on Double Live Gonzo...so there!) then you love William Finley. I, in particular, am deeply obsessed and given to The Phantom of the Paradise and have been for as long as I was able to get CityTV on the dial. I had a goldfish I won from the local fair named Winslow...shit like that. So, it is with great sadness that I have learned of his death this weekend. But, with that, there are many, many memories of great and genuine joy either associated with many facets of my life where it has popped up literally or in my mind or that I have had while watching the film, listening to the songs and talking with other lifelong fans or friends about how terrific it is. And Finley was my man and when he sits (as Leach) at that piano and does his audition! Wow! Then I'm in and there for the rest of the movie.
