- Earworms of the Week > " Buddy Holly " - Weezer Weezer have actually been around now since 1992, displaying a longevity you would never have imagined possible upon hearing their first album . Don't get me wrong, I have an enormous soft-spot for songs like " Undone - The Sweater Song " and " In the Garag e", but you wouldn't have thought that they were going to be...

I've returned to the scene of Frances. Based on how many times I've watched the picture, I'm beginning to believe I harbor some kind of frustration fetish. I've viewed the movie more than necessary, in spite of its flaws and I finally had to concede that, even with Jessica Lange's genius, kick-you-in-the-gut performance, the movie is not going to change through time. I'm never going...

what a darling picture of gene tierney. it is hard to imagine this smiling young person as the same woman who suffered from mental illness. like frances farmer, gene was given a series of shock treatments. it sounds so barbaric now.

" Come and Get It " ( Howard Hawks , William Wyler , Richard Rosson * 1936) Edna Ferber 's novel was purchased by Samuel L. Goldwyn to turn into a Hollywood blockbuster and Howard Hawks hired to direct. But Hawks was a maverick, and when Goldwyn came back from a long illness to see how things had progressed, he was shocked, shocked I tell you, to see that Hawks had drifted afield of the Ferber...

Larry Harnisch of the L.A. Times blog The Daily Mirror sent in a couple of old images from the Times archives that show how photos of stars were touched up to show less skin. Here’s the first one, of Frances Farmer (from Larry’s post about her): The image comes from the 1940 movie “Flowing Gold.” Apparently [...]

Go away. Why aren't you on your way away? Do you have something against leaving a poor anchorist alone? I mean, for crying out loud! How hard is it to walk past -- and not through -- a gate that says "private property"? Well? Well? Oh, I see, you came here on purpose . You weren't just ambling past and following an impulse, but rather you deliberately sought to disrupt this solitary life...

Recommended The Movie: Obsession ain't pretty. Ask my very own wife, who has suffered the slings and arrows of my own private fascination with classic actress Frances Farmer, an "interest" (I use the term in a probably pointless attempt to prevent outright embarrassment) that has cost me thousands of dollars and untold hours of research time. At least I had the good luck to uncover a lot...

It's been a while since I've done one of these ”Answer in Song” questionnaires, and shockingly I've never used songs from Nirvana . Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, the idea is to cleverly answer these questions without repeating a song title. Here's the latest variation of this exercise I've come across along with my song answers: Your Artist: Nirvana 1) Are you male or female?...

May Flowers , evenings at 11 It's not a crime to look at Lange. So herewith, Frances Farmer in her prime (surrounded by... hmm, levitating flowers') and the woman who played her in 1982's Frances , Jessica Lange . There are no flowers in this old photograph of Lange but I think you'll agree that she was in full bloom. I've never seen any of Frances Farmer's movies (she didn't make many. Any suggestions')...

Isaiah's The World Today Just Nuts "The Useless Blogger " went up Sunday and hails the useless blogger. They know who they are, all the ones being silent on Abeer while her murderer and rapist is on trial in Kentucky. Nirvana sang "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge" and Abeer will as well. Abeer will have her revenge on all these sell-outs. May she rise from the ashes and smote...
