Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

It was the last episode to air. By that time, the production team was over budget and still owed the network one more episode, so they bought the rights for this film for $10K & met their obligation within their fiscal constraints. It was never included in any syndication package. (This according to ...

I don't recall that Moorhead had a single line in that episode - just did it all with grunts & facial expressions. It was an Actors' show that had no trouble getting names to sign up. Ida Lupino, Vera Miles, Robert Redford, Lee Marvin... They knew it wasn't tv as usual.

I'm curious what my vision ...

Thanks, both, for the reassurances...


...I’m glad you’re getting your cataract surgery! I will need it soon myself. You should get through it fine, but I understand being a little anxious. Everyone I’ve talked to about it is so happy they got it done and can see 20/20.


Same with hip ...

I love the Twilight Zone, too - I've got the boxed DVD set of all 5 original seasons. I wasn't allowed to stay up late enough to watch them when they originally aired back around 1960.

very nice! poetry in motion...

I didn't notice your use of complementary colors until I blew this up - and might not have even then if I hadn't been tinkering RGB values from yesterday's photo shoot.

Glad to hear you're back into it! Medicare can't provide what that kind of camaraderie does. Love the name of your team - the Pinheads. Yow! We are having Fun!

Wasn't Zuck also the one who predicted that his metaverse would become as much a part of our lives as corn flakes & toothpaste? Got your VR headset yet? I'll get mine as soon as my ticket to Mars on Elon's Starship arrives.

I'm sure brains are an asset for amassing wealth, but amorality is ...

Thanks for the thumbs-up! I had some trouble with it - I'd written it as a number of separate vignettes that had to be stitched together, & did such a sloppy job editing the final assembly that I took it down to clean it up. Could still use a few tweaks, but I want to move on.

Roamin' the 'hood

The past few weeks have been busier than usual. Apart from those chores that require weekly tending, there's been a flurry of longer-term commitments whose cycles have come into phase, cluttering the calendar with appointments: a dental scrubbing; check-ins with cardiology ...
