The Return of Doctor X
Humphrey Bogart regarded this as his biggest dog of a film. He plays a mad scientist who went to the electric chair, died, was revived with "synthetic blood," then had to subsist by draining the blood of others.
And here's the weirdest thing: almost every scene in this trailer is an outtake, not seen in the actual film! I wonder if viewers of the era felt ripped off.
'Nuff said!

Idiot Of The Day
A New Zealander living in Melbourne, Australia got into a bit of trouble recently. Finding a BBQ grill along the side of the road, he decided to take it home...on his motorcycle. The man drove on the highway wearing the grill and looking through the grate. A passing motorist snapped a picture and turned the man in. He ended up paying the equivalent of an $800 fine, ouch!

Follies of the Mad Men #120
[From Life magazine for January 10 1949.]
This hideous Donnie Darko-style image will haunt you forever, and make you swear off beer-drinking at once.
Furries and beer: two things that must never mix.
