Aw. My mom is particular about what she'll watch; she generally sticks to classic Hollywood films and such, but she will watch anything from Quentin. Though she was disappointed to find out that Simon Pegg was originally wanted to play Archie, because she absolutely loves him.

There's quite a few Shirley Temple, Laurel & Hardy, Three Stooges, and Marx Brothers films and Disney cartoons, too. My main interest is that there's a print of Something Wicked This Way Comes, and I was delighted to find the original Jodie Foster Freaky Friday.

It was! I love make-up special effects and re-creating them. I generally stick to the '70s/'80s methods, such as jello and food coloring for fake innards (I made chunks of brain, and it was so hot outside that day, that they melted into mush, which worked well). The fun of it is to figure how to make the effect so it works and convincingly affect those who watch it.
Some useless trivia: Tom Savini is considered the king of special make-up effects. He was, at one point, the only effects man who could create a convincing scalping. He also trained Greg Nicotero who does all of the gore effects for Tarantino's films. Greg played the Gestapo officer Stiglitz face-fisted.

Oh, goodness, that's a shame! I think mine are buried somewhere under other wonderfully useless things of mine.
I got excited to see gaucho pants have come in style. Of course, I love the originals that came in bright patterns. I also really love that tacky, '70s burnt orange color, so I have a few vintage-style shirts in that color.
