Yep!

Wow... thanks for sharing; I've always enjoyed your father's performances; in addition to "Strangelove" (which is one of my all time favorites), I also dig your dad's roles in "The Long Goodbye" (I'm a Raymond Chandelr Fan as well) and the classic "Johnny Guitar."

I also checked out your article on Radio Shack and the Realist Brand, well written and researched. Look forward to future posts!

Interesting stuff about your father. I going to have to watch Dr. Strangelove again.

My favorite scary/comedy was The Fearless Vampire Killers.

Dr. Strangelove is my favorite movie. From the actors, the sets to the director, it is a classic film. It should have won an academy award. In those times, the B-52 was considered top secret. Kubrick and the art department made the cockpit so real, the air force was investigating how did they made it so realistic.

"You try and prevetsions in there, I will blow your head off!" great line!

I agree. In Rosemont, Illinois on June 27th, there having a 40th anniversary reunion of the Night Of The Living Dead cast including George Romero. It is on http://www.flashbackweekend.com/index.shtml I'm bringing my poster and I'm going to have the cast sign it and have my picture taken with them. Elvira is also going to be there in costume!

I came across this a couple of years ago. Very interesting to me because of the movie and the gulf beach development. We own a highrise beach condo in Gulf Shores, AL not far from Destin where this clip was filmed.

The first shot is of a B-52 in the top left flying over Destin Bay in 1964 I think.

The second shot is Destin Bay today from the same camera angle.

The third is a morphing shot from the first to the second.

This is a great example of why beach front home owners insurance is so high now!

It's cool to have a celebrity aboard. Gives AK a touch of class. Eat your hearts out, Audiogon! We got Anden Hayden! What you got? (just kidding)

I'm not a big movie buff, but I could pick your dad out in a line-up. Loved Dr. Strangelove!

Tell us what kind of Audio System you have!! And send us some photos if you can. Would love to see it all.

Hepcat;
Cool picture. Looks like there was more beach in the '64 pic. What a perfect alignment! How'd you do that? GPS? We've got places here in Florida like that, but it's only been 3 years. Really.

Recently watched Strangelove on LD, and just yesterday framed the cover & stuck it on the wall in my studio. Great movie.

Love the movie. You must be very proud of your father anden. He was a wonderful actor.

I believe there is a fundamental difference between film noire and "scary comedy".

i.e. Eating Raoul vs (anything with Jerry Lewis)
