The tiny figures of the world are walking underneath your feet and underneath your hair
I have slain the insurance beast! Why is slaying the insurance beast so expensive? Now I have the fun of calling a whole lot of doctors and requesting them to re-bill me from the start of the month for marginally less bone-breaking amounts of money. This system must look absolutely mental from outside; it does from in here. But we have health insurance again.

moon_custafer: "Obey Your Air Raid Warden" (1942). The Chicago Film Archive Catalogue calls it a 16mm parody of the song by Tony Pastor and His Orchestra, but it looks like full-bore fun with lip-synching to me. It's delightful.
In fortuitous TV programming, it looks as though TCM will be running Desk Set (1957) in June and I won't have to wait until Christmas for Holiday Affair (1949), either.
P.S. And I returned from this afternoon's appointment to find, sitting in an international envelope on my front porch, a chunky little paperback of Jake Hinkson's The Blind Alley (2015), thanks toradiantfracture! Lesbianism in noir ahoy!

Thank you. I am distressed at the thought that we still have it so much better than many other states.

This strikes me as a horrifyingly apt explanation for the state of American health insurance.

I'm joining the chorus in re: insurance bullshit.
The "Obey Your Air Raid Warden" film is wild and delightful. Of particular interest is the engorged nose on the opening scene's warden., as well as the most excellent harmony. The best part is the cigarettes' appearance, the better to be thrown away. The creepiest part is the bugs scrabbling across the cocktail spread (while the humans huddle below).
In addition to genial toe-tapping, you've enlightened me re: ChicagoFilmArchives.org

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's been stuck in my head.

Yes! I also enjoy the couple gleefully taking the blackout as an excuse to leap into one another's arms, which seems realistic to human behavior as well as comedically timed.

They are an absolute time sink and I am so glad there is somewhere that Chicago-based home movies and experimental films and unclassifiable ephemera can go.
