Oompa-Loompa’s On The Attack
When Oompa Loompas attack, watch out!! Or perhaps emerging from a kabob place at 3:30 a.m. is discouraged in England.
Here's a link to the story:

Sorry -- only two of the four attackers were Oompa Loompas. At least these two already have their hands up to be arrested.

Thuppakki
Certainly this song from the hit film THUPPAKKI stands a chance at becoming the next "Gangnam Style" craze!

Intermission Ads: An Abandoned Artform
Artforms are not eternal. Sonnets don't get written much anymore. And certainly the Golden Age of the intermission advertisement is, lamentably, long gone.

Prehistoric Women
Wikipedia offers this summary of the 1950 film Prehistoric Women:
It seems like the kind of movie that might be so bad it's good. But PopMatters warns that, though you might hope it would have some cheeseball value, it's "actually not very good." If you watch the clip below of the catfight scene, you'll probably have seen the highlight of the movie.

Babette Goes to War
Brigitte Bardot fights Nazis! Possibly an inspiration for both Hogan's Heroes and Private Benjamin...?
