You Dropped a Bomb on Me, Baby! Speed Racer

I'm an avid fan of the famous anime, Speed Racer of the 60's but after watching the new Movie version by the Wachowski Bros. for Warner Bros., I am sick to my stomach.
It's candy coated CGI world was so saccharin I had to immediately take an Insulin shot so as not to go ballistic.
Doesn't anyone know how to act, write, or direct anymore? Emile Hirsch as Speed Racer was as plastic and two dimensional as the original. Only standouts are John Goodman as Pops Racer and Benno Fürmann as Inspector Detector.

The Wachowski Brothers have dropped an H-Bomb and it has left a mushroom cloud of a stink in the air.

Here's the Gap Band to emphasise my feelings!

Sc-Fi Theater: Fiend Without a Face!

Fiend Without a Face is scary and great Sci-Fi junk. Invisible brains with spinal tails that jump and attack you.

Boulder is Better!

Like archaeological finds, I stumbled upon the bold Limestome sculptures of William Edmondson @ www.fleisher-ollmangallery.com and tfaoi.com.
Edmondson was the first African-American to be featured in a solo show @ the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1937.

Who Is Rin Tashmoor?

Copyright © Rin Tashmoor/Art Forum

I don't know who the artist is but just the piece, Child's Bank #3 alone makes me think Rin Tashmoor is an up and coming GREAT!
I remember seeing this piece in Art Forum but I can't find anything else on the net with Tashmoor's artwork.

King of Arts!

A. L. Jansson was an illustrator of greeting cards and advertisements between 1900 and 1910. Illustrator, John Craig introduced me to his worx which can be seen @ davistownmuseum.org.

Holy Eucharist!

Necco Wafers had such a lovely assortment of pastel colors but that taste (yuk) was more bitter than sweet.
The only things I can compare them to are the Communion Wafers at Catholic Church and candy cigarettes back in the 60's.
