Gilda Rides Again; or, How To Create a Fake Jean Louis Original

Gilda by Adaptation 1

Hold it, guys; I promise you, I’m not Gilda.  I don’t live in a film noir classic, I don’t live in Buenos Aires, and my husband isn’t trying to corner the world tungsten market.  And I don’t go around obsessively singing “Put the Blame on Mame.”

That’s the negative; turn the page for the positive.

The Kino Haus

Kino Haus 1

A quickie today; I’m squeezing a lot into a little time, and I’ll be gone from a good connection later in the week.  Anyway, if you’d like a little film entertainment sometime, consider stopping by the Kino Haus.  I discovered it while searching for “avant” items (as in avant garde).  It’s not huge; a simple two-room skybox, enclosed from the view.  You’ll beam in here, at the concession stand.  Pick up whatever goodies you choose, then step through the curtain —

Kino Haus 2

— to the second room, with comfy chairs and a pillow or two (and a donation meter, which I very nicely fed for the owner to help pay for the stream).  There’s a group you can join for updates on coming attractions.

Machinima — “Noob”

I’ve been writing about so many different things lately that this draft has sat forgotten in the back room of the blog.  Now I submit it to you for your approval:  a link to a machinima called Noob.  If you enjoy it, come on back and let me know; I got a few giggles from it.
