Hello!

Here’s something great (and positive!) sent by correspondent David J. Schow: the link takes you to a short YouTube piece entitled Onze helden zijn terug!  I haven’t Google translated that yet, but the unofficial title is A Dutch flash mob recreates Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch” live at a mall in the Netherlands.

It seems more than a bit staged to me, but it’s still fun. And it’s all of a minute and a half in duration. Enjoy!

 


 

This YouTube link is from correspondent Gary Teetzel, listed as by ‘AnimaMundiMagazine’ and called Curt Siodmak – The Lost Video. It seemed appropriate, what with today’s Curt Siodmak review.

I’m not sure of what Curt’s getting at, but he starts out with a bitter remark, complaining that movie writers aren’t given the credit they deserve. I’m curious as to the location of the shoot — the bric-a-brac is impressive. It’s clearly some kind of museum exhibit, what with the marble walls, etc.. Video of Curt Siodmak talking isn’t something you see every day, that’s for sure.

Thanks for reading! — Glenn Erickson
