Who knew costume jewelry could be SO GORGEOUS?
Just look at that SPARKLE.
“In the ’30s and ’40s, Joseff was supplying over 90 percent of the jewelry in the movies.”
“Jewelry didn’t really appear in movies too much before he came along, I think the costumers had either just gone to a department store and bought the jewelry, or in many cases, it probably belonged to the star herself and she just accessorized her own outfit.”
Here’s a story on Joseff of Hollywood from Collector’s Weekly… and a new obsession for me?
Because your day *always* needs more surreal…
I present to you “The Mystery of the Leaping Fish” by Douglas Fairbanks; a hilarious comedy about the brilliant, drug-addled detective Coke Ennyday, who despite powdering his nose with a giant powderpuff of cocaine, constantly shooting up speed, and eating opium paste like jam, manages to beat the snot out of the bad guys and save the pretty girl (who happens to be a self-saving princess anyway, and manages to save him once or twice too!). This is a pretty terrible print, but hey, if nothing else, it’s a really awesome waste of 25 minutes.
…also, you get Doug in a swimsuit, and HOT DAMN.

Bruno Ganz is to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the European Film Academy in December. I am so pleased. He deserves it.
Uh oh, somebody get the holy water…
It’s a viral site for The Last Exorcism, but it’s still just too awesome not to share.
You may be afflicted with a demon known as KATAL
Katal is the demon of jealousy and bitterness – he’s the spitting image of Lucifer his master who rebelled against the true God. He finds his way into the hearts of those who are envious of those around them, who think ill of family, friends and neighbors. Signs: those possessed by Katal will have violent mood swings, they will have a cold, clammy sweat and most frighteningly, may bleed from the eyes. Those around the possessed may hear a menacing, whispered voice with no obvious source.

Flawless Victory!!
So. Somebody’s gone and made a teaser for a new Mortal Kombat movie. It’s kinda awesome, and I hope they don’t sue him, but rather hire him to write and direct a full-length version. I loved the original movies (shut up), I’d totally go see an R-rated reboot… Just so long as it’s got Robin Shou. I may have really low standards for videogame movies, but I seriously need my cute kung-fu action.
Fair warning, the embedded vid is gory.
The sky is falling!
