As you no doubt remember, because I harp on about it frequently, I spent most Friday and Saturday nights in the early to mid-1990s watching B-movies on late-night television.

Diana … Continue reading Random Image Dump #15: Bombshells Edition →

Random Image Dump #14

Earlier this year we lost the beautiful Jane Birkin. In this photo, she’s positively radiant. More recently, we lost the talented, sexy, and lovable comedic actor and businesswoman extraordinaire, Suzanne Somers. Absolutely killer movie poster art by Bruce Timm for Dracula A.D. 1972. Timm (Batman: The Animated Series and Mad Love) expertly captures the feel … Continue reading Random Image Dump #14 →
