When the Past Meets the Present

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: A guy walking around Tel Aviv with a picture from the classic scene in Basic Instinct encounters Sharon Stone herself.

The Bomb

Alternative film titles considered by Stanley Kubrick for what would finally be released as “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.”

Strangelove’s verbose title makes me wonder what film has the longest title. Thanks to Google and this list, apparently Kubrick’s movie ranks number 140. Ranked number one: “Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3.” Thanks but no thanks.

Nixon and Robocop

This looks like a scene from some alternate universe where Robocop exists in real life and Nixon is serving his 8th straight term as President of the United States in a dystopic future. Or it could be a scene from a buddy cop comedy film.

Walt Disney’s NYC Home

Walt Disney’s old apartment located on 102 Bedford Street in New York City. Douglas Fairbanks Jr was also a former tenant. I absolutely love the unique shape of this building.

Cooler Than Thou

Eddie Murphy, Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby, and Richard Pryor. Looks like Poitier missed the memo on the aviators, but he makes up for it with the amazing Ghost Dad shirt.

Oh, I loved him, but he was… scary. I was going to invite him up to Maine; I have this beautiful home in Maine… but then I reconsidered because I saw that movie again. Do you want someone eating your brain while you are sitting in your beautiful dining room in Maine?
