Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 13, 2009

I saw it! It just reached out and grabbed his ankle!

I have a chair like that - mean little leg biter!

Oh no! Doc’s atomic coffee is going to make a hole in the floor!

Doc, please don’t spill that on the Pibgorn couch! That last absinthe spill was bad enough.

Get ’im, table! Now that you’ve got him down, twist his ankles!

Starbasset. What a terrific picture. It opened people’s eyes when they saw what Ruff Bridges was capable of as an actor.

What artwork! StelBel, you’ve outdone yourself. That looks almost like a real basset!

Hullo, my Cleo peeps….

along with those of you I’m ever hopeful have just found us….

This is it…. the place where we’re posting our comments on

the June 13th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

Tonight, as you can see…. another classic movie poster by StelBel…. on Sherpa

“STARBASSET” … a lovely film….

rather “cute” for a sci fi movie but I quite enjoyed it.

Ruff Bridges…. as a sweet, sensitive alien…. and the lovely Karen Alhound, afraid of and then in love with him…

who follows him into danger….

but have no fear (SPOILER ALERT): it’ll be all right.

 

The US government, of course, plays the heavy….

why is it always portrayed as trying to kill off every alien that comes here?

Would our armed forces actually do that?

Nobody watching these films ever wants them to shoot at Starman…. or capture ET, or harm any of the other alien creatures senselessly attacked.

 

The humans made a version, of course.

I mean, Jeff Bridges (whoever he is) is no Ruff bridges…

and no relation, I’d venture, although one really can’t assume, can one….

The BassetPlexIII is going to be opening the last week in June…

It’s almost ready…. a smaller, less extravagant theater than the BassetPlexII…

or especially, the never-forgotten single-screen palace that once stood in its place…. the original Basset Cinema Royale.

 

But the new venue will show revivals, third runs, basset art films…. anything outside the scope of what we see now.

They’re starting with a two-week series of classic films….

I think this one will be among them.

I’m going to talk to the management, and to StelBel… to try and wangle us bargain tickets!

It’s alright, as far as end tables go.

At least Jay had shoes on this time.

 

I like my women just like I like my name on the marquee: large and purplie.

Now this is a movie that I’ve seen over and over! No reason to hide behind the couch on this one.

StelBel has out-did herself on this one. We are privileged to come with her to the big Vault and enjoy her movie Classics. Thanks for the great poster!

(by the way, if I’m absent for a bit, it’s because my youngest grandkids are visiting! I’ve been falling into bed exhausted each night. Sigh!)

Sometimes it actually seems that your furniture is out to get you.
