At almost seven minutes jazz piano player Arturo O'Farrill and his trio rip through A Night In Tunisia.

Vintage Flicks Weirdly Funny, Watchable

THE FLICKERING MOVIE SCREEN....it doesn't just have to be Halloween to talk about sci-fi and horror. Here are two oldies; gems that are marketed today as "Midnight Movies". I recently checked them out from my local library (for free).


Robinson Crusoe On Mars

Paul Mantee stars as an astronaut marooned on "the fiery red planet" battling for his survival, at first all alone. The science is way ahead of its time. Quirky and pretty cool! Sort of an underground masterpiece that will stay with you. I think many blockbusters that came later must have lifted their ideas from this flick, esp. Star Wars.


Panic In The Year Zero


Ray Milland in a stylish suede coat that never gets dirty protects his family in the mountains of California after the bomb goes off. He's cool in any situation and always has a plan! Love when he and Frankie Avalon start wielding guns around. Dated, still, his reactions and strategies to survive are totally believable and it has a sort of weird "what if" fascination to it; it's also accidentally funny.

"Hello, You're On Fry-Time"

In honor of the Futurama news shown two posts below, here's a nice bit about the show starring Philip J. Fry.

WEBHEADS
For fans of Futurama, here's the latest word off of their site:

We just got this word from 20th Century Fox: "Just wanted you to know that we now have deals with the entire Futurama voice cast to return: John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, Tress MacNeille and Katey Sagal."

Apparently the date for the new season to begin is June 10, 2010.

As Professor Farnsworth would holler...."Good News Everyone!"








THE SCOOP (taken from a tip on the Sierra Club website)
Heavier luggage burns more fuel. So if everyone leaves a little more at home, we'll save immense amounts of emissions.
