Are we dancing off the ceilings yet?

Old Movie Stars Dance to Uptown Funk My inspiration came from What's the Mashup? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmnSm_d2ll4) but I didn't manage 100! The idea was to do the same for movies fro...

Summer has been,
a bit,
grey.
So we've added umbrellas!

Timetable, anyone?

YOUR ASSISTANCE PLEASE:

Ladies and Gentlemen, it appears my posts are not reaching everyone with little by way of being seen or engagement.

Would you be kind enough to react with this post with a comment or an emoji?

Lots of announcements in the coming days for Whitby Steampunk Weekend XVI, shares appreciated.

Many thanks,

Just a little reminder,
Do NOT feed the gulls.

Summer has arrived,

ok, the bridge broke
so Pirates ferried landlubbers to Old Town

Summertime,
sunshine and kisses

When Mel Brooks was sixteen years old, he worked for a cash-strapped theatrical producer who'd raise funds by sleeping with his investors, most of whom were elderly women. "He pounced on little old ladies and would make love to them," Brooks told The Guardian. "They gave him money for his plays, and they were so grateful for his attention." In Manhattan, Brooks also knew a pair of showmen who had more or less failed their way into prosperity. "They were doing flop after flop and living like kings," Brooks said. "A press agent told me, 'God forbid they should ever get a hit, because they'd never be able to pay off the backers!' I coupled the producer with these two crooks and, BANG!, there was my story."

From a 1966 Pl***oy Magazine interview:
PL***OY: "What else are you working on?"
BROOKS: "'Springtime for Hi**er.'"
PL***OY: "You're putting us on."
BROOKS: "No, it's the God's honest truth. It's going to be a play within a play, or a play within a film, I haven't decided yet. It's a romp with Adolf Hi**er and Eva Braun at Berchtesgaden. There was a whole nice side of Hi**er. He was a good dancer, no one knows that. He loved a parakeet named Bob, no one knows that either. It's all brought out in the play."

Roger Ebert recounted how he was in an elevator with Brooks and Anne Bancroft in New York City after "The Producers" (1967) premiered. A woman got onto the elevator, recognized him and said, "I have to tell you, Mr. Brooks, that your movie is vulgar." Brooks replied, "Lady," he said, "it rose below vulgarity."

Dustin Hoffman, a Greenwich Village neighbor of Brooks and an unknown at the time, was offered the part of Bloom. Hoffman expressed more interest in the role of Franz Liebkind, but Alfa-Betty Olsen has said that was never seriously considered. While Brooks was still casting, Hoffman was offered the part of Benjamin in "The Graduate" (1967). Brooks allowed him to go off to the audition for the film because Bancroft was in it, and Brooks was convinced Hoffman was utterly wrong for it (as written), and would never be cast. (IMDb)

Happy Birthday, Mel Brooks!

I'm an honest man

We do seem to be getting a lot of weather at the moment.
Each day.

The weather's getting better,
so,
onwards and upwards.

Is it Summer yet?

Frida Kahlo told her husband: "I'm not asking you to kiss me, nor apologize to me when I think you're wrong. I won't even ask you to hug me when I need it most. I don't ask you to tell me how beautiful I am, even if it's a lie, nor write me anything beautiful. I won't even ask you to call me to tell me how your day went, nor tell me you miss me. I won't ask you to thank me for everything I do for you, nor to care about me when my soul is down, and of course, I won't ask you to support me in my decisions. I won't even ask you to listen to me when I have a thousand stories to tell you. I won't ask you to do anything, not even be by my side forever. Because if I have to ask you, I don't want it anymore.”

Feeling like Summertime
just for a moment

Party like Winter has ended?
Yes please!

I wasn't slacking.
Honest
