My favorite Eva Marie Saint films are On The Waterfront, North By Northwest, The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming, and, maybe less well known, Loving. One of the greats. Rest In Peace. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/m...

Eva Marie Saint, Oscar Winner for ‘On the Waterfront,’ Is Dead at 102
A luminous beauty with dramatic depth, she brought a layered intensity to harrowing roles and seduced Cary Grant in the romantic thriller “North by Northwest.”

I love the sheer unapologetic awfulness of this. Pudding for a head. Headless goose corpse for a body. Then bottles for peg-legs along with the implements to eat him for crutches. THIS, friends, is Dr. Frankenstein's Christmas miracle.
A surreal, anthropomorphic figure with a large pudding-like head and wings, featuring a sign that reads 'COME AND EAT ME KIND FOLKS'.

The wonderful, brilliant talented Graham Chapman died on 4th Oct 1989, aged just 48. Just one of his many quotes -"Kilimanjaro is a pretty tricky climb you know, most of it's up until you reach the very very top, and then it tends to slope away rather sharply." #GrahamChapman #MontyPython

Happy 58th anniversary to George A. Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, released at the Fulton Theater in Pittsburgh OTD in 1968. Horror movies (and zombies) would never be the same. Made at a cost of approximately $125,000, it would go on to gross over $30 million.
