Victoria Woodhull. Political, yet slutty.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

I'm going to this tomorrow! [link] To see The Shining. (It was that or The Omen in the afternoon, but I wanted to do drive-in in the dark.) Never been to a drive-in before. Very cool.

Ann, that's a ferret.
A true badass has to have a certain style. Civil War Generals Grant and Sherman get my vote for the American subdivision.
Worldwide, though, I'll suggest Tsar Peter the Great. Hard to beat forcibly cutting off your subjects' beards.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
The Men Who Stare At Goats was an excellent and funny book. But I can't imagine how it's going to translate into a coherent movie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But I can't imagine how it's going to translate into a coherent movie.
1. Hire a lot of famous movie stars.
2. Have them stare at Goats.
3. Rake in the box office!
4. Collect Oscars.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So... a buddy-cop movie. Two cops, partners, who work in the Staring at Goats division of the NYPD or LAPD. One is about to retire - just one more week of staring at goats. But then....
Can you tell I never read the book?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Can you tell I never read the book?
Nope.
I think your movie should star Chris Tucker and a goat, and the ghost of Chris Farley.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And the one cop is always saying, "I'm too old for this <gruff>."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Restored uncut Metropolis will premiere at Berlin Film Festival:
BERLIN -- The Berlin Film Festival will screen Fritz Lang's original cut of "Metropolis," which was feared lost but discovered in an Argentine museum last year, at a gala ceremony on Feb. 10, the Berlinale said Thursday.
The cult sci-fi classic, penned by Lang and Thea von Harbou in 1924, was the most expensive film ever made in Germany when it bowed on Jan. 10, 1927.
After it bombed at the box office, the UFA studio re-edited the silent film, cutting about 30 minutes. It re-released it to great acclaim eight months later.
The outtakes were feared lost but a 16mm negative of the original was found in Buenos Aires. The original has since been restored by the Murnau Foundation in cooperation with pubcaster ZDF, Gallic-German cultural web Arte and the Deutsche Kinemathek.
