I always like being reminded of this exchange
 “During filming [The Night of the Hunter], as they drove along a freeway, [Charles] Laughton told [Robert] Mitchum, ‘I don’t know if you know, and I don’t know if you care, and I don’t care if you know, but there is a strong streak of homosexuality in me,’ to which Mitchum replied, ‘No shit!’ and then ‘Stop the car!’ to Laughton’s tortuously worded admission. This was a well-worn routine for Laughton, and Mitchum’s joking reaction put Laughton finally at ease, a precious moment of understanding between two very different people.”

– Dan Callahan, The Art of American Screen Acting, 1912-1960.

"This is the one thing we didn't want to happen"
In 1982, he was arrested for reportedly sticking his cigarette into a passenger [clarification needed] who asked him to put out the cigarette in a non-smoking section of an aircraft. The passenger turned out to be a district attorney, but ultimately no charges were brought.[51]

A few years into VHS capture and I'm happy with my results so I'm going Internet Archive mode. Trivial stuff still goes on YouTube, but this is for actual material where maybe this is the one copy of it etc. A highlight so far: the Bobby Curtola Christmas Special (1984). archive.org/details/@mas...
VHS frame of a festive title card that say "Boby [sic] Curtola Christmas" which was a spelling he was trying around this time.Boby and his family and a boom micBoby, who contextually by the way was a Canadian teen idol in the '60s but now he's grown and has a perm, standing outside in the cold in a huge Hudson Bay stripes jacket.

Pulling up to the function with the six-pack of Midiverb IIs
Late '80s recording equipment ad where a rack of six Midiverb IIs is styled like a six-pack with a cardboard handle.
Copy and paste: NOTHING REFRESHES A MIX LIKE A SIX PACK of MIDIVERB II "S 

Mixing is no picnic. Especialy when you're in the hot seat. Consider the 3ressure. The fatigue. The late nights. And all the agonizing over what outboard to use on what tracks. If you've ever sweated out a mix thirsting fcr more effects, the Alesis MIDIVERB II is pure refreshment. Whether it's the perfect room simulation for the hi -hat, or the perfect chorus texture for a last minute synth overdub, MIDIVERB II defiers. And, at an astonishing $26g, it's no wonder prc engineers are using multiple units to strenghten their processing 'front line.' With 16 bit linear PCM, 15K bandw dth, anc cons of musical character, MIDIVERB II is the #1 selllrg `-:-_ / signal processor In the bu§ress.* That'll only surprise you if you've never used it. Thcse who have used it love the sound so much they can't resist buying several more. With 99 programs - 50 re:rerbs, plus choruses, flanges, delEys, and innovative specia' effects -M diverb II redefines the meaning of cost -effectiveness. So after -oday's mix, you deserve something retreshing. Ask your Alesis dealer to Creak open a sixpac< of M DIVERB IPs. Your next mix couic be a picnic.

I think I was right although naturally they arrived while both VCRs are in the shop. May have been a Texas studio rather than an LA studio. Excited to see

Inspired by that Can '74 clip that's resurfaced (which came from a random eBay listing), last night I snagged my own bundle to go through. Looks like TV performances mostly but two tapes may be related to the recording of an '80s Texas metal band's debut LP??
Some VHS tapes from an eBay listing, one is labelled like "FRIDAYS DEVO/FRANK Z./R. NEWMAN", two are labeled "EXIDUS" 1 and 2, "DEC 84/SOUND IMAGE STUDIOS"

Hard to trust that he'll be thugcore for life, seeing how immediately he betrayed hardcore for thugcore
Wiki excerpt: Singer's first solo recording began with "D.R.E.A.M." by The Transplants, which led him to sign with Travis Barker of Blink-182's LaSalle Records for the 2005 release of his Hardcore 4 Life EP.[6] Diablo included some of its tracks on Thugcore 4 Life[7] record released in 2007, featuring the Tim Armstrong-produced track "Living By The Gun".
