Thomas Outt in paper mask made from Midnites For Maniacs Poster designed by Jesse Hawthorne Ficks, brandishing a fake chainsaw, all forlorn about not being cast in the remake of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE!

“I shudda been a contender.” It’s probably not too likely that I’d get any of the parts in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, but I could get a part in a film entitled REVENGE–& would be glad to join Screen Actor’s Guild, if Mr Polanski were to call on me for the part. Please note the fake Black & Decker chainsaw. It’s a beauty & makes me want to clear-cut as much of the Amazon rain forest as I can, we need the WALMARTS & the parking lots & those dreadful, little jobs that have shut down most of the small town Main Streets North of the Rio Grande. Oh, I am so sorry about the politics, it just comes out. I can’t help it. I don’t know why they make me write these things!

All Plugged In:  Computer Hardware Copes With A Mask From Scream 1,2,3,4,...

It’s probably the barium still working on me–the real world, what’s left of it, well…I should have been one of those people who got a gory end in any of the Scream films, but it would be better for the career to have been the perpetrator. A run of the play contract can be so lucrative & so artistically rewarding. This is more of my Lindsay Lohan, after falling on the cactus, you just don’t want to leave your house, so you sit in front of your computer & do this to people, innocent digital by-standers. My blogs are more like drive-by slingshots. Not one bit of redeeming value, no Sir, not one bit!

Mia Farrow/Rosemary’s Baby

Image

This was the look used by Mia Farrow when, in 1968, her film career began in Roman Polanki’s Rosemary’s Baby.  It was truly one of the most compelling horror films ever made, raising the bar for this genre from entertainment & campy fun to something that could be going on down the hall from your apartment.  The lurking presence of evil was felt but never directly seen.  Ruth Gordon got an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and the same thing should have happened for Mia Farrow.  Her portrayal was diamond brilliant, and still plays to full houses to this day in major metropolitan areas.

It was proceeded by a brilliant advertising campaign, with the words “Pray For Rosemary’s Baby” superimposed upon a British style perambulator.  An image that Polanski carefully cultivated.
