Change my hair, change my dress, change my head
I am watching a lot of movies I don't have the energy to write about. I am in a severe state of wanting to fire my body into the sun. Have some links.

rushthatspeaks: Bela Lugosi sculpting his own bust.
2. A non-comic, very good use of Operation Mincemeat in a poem: Dan Johnson, "Between the Wars."
3. Klaus Nomi's recipe for lime tarts. I had no idea about his day job.
4. If you have always wanted an Arthurian Arsenic and Old Lace, then look no further: "Mordred comes back, on the lam, with his unhappy girlfriend, La Belle Dame Sans Merci. She tried to change his face to make him less recognizable but was drunk on fairy wine and made him look like Prince Maleagant, specifically from Act 2 of the French musical where his face is partially a skull."
5. Ditto, but it's a Gef T-shirt. For the extra extra clever mongoose in your life.
I don't know how much I want to see the movie, but I love the description of Kate Dickie in Shepherd (2021): "a one-eyed ferry operator who keeps a stuffed crow on her boat." I hoped the film could spell psychopomp. I was even happier when I found a picture of her. She could play Greer Gilman's Brock.

I just found out I'm moderating a panel on "The (new) Golden Age of Movie Musicals" at Arisia, and my first thought was that, if we were in a non-pandemic timeline, this might well have been a panel we'd be on together.

Thank you.

I assume Arisia is in-person in 2022 for contractual reasons, but I deeply wish they were remote. That worked just fine for me this year.
