That is a great cartoon, weyland. That house that changes - I've been downloading some expressionist films, and the sets look like they'd do that if the camera moved at all. You see the actors walk into them, and they don't go the way you expect. Aubrey, I discovered the house moved just by chance. It was the weirdest feeling and I felt I'd discovered something. So much so, that I hung around and advised everyone that looked like they were going to pass by without looking properly to walk backwards and forwards and LOOK. Mr. E. was quite embarrassed. |

i can however relate to the silver hand element of the sculpture from the time when i took my etch a sketch out in the garden and smashed it open and got covered in all this dodgy silver studff contained within the etch a sketch i got it all over me on my hands and face and when my mum saw what had happened she went spastic at me but no matter how hard she tried to scub the silver off it would not budge, she used swarfega and brillo pads and everythink but no luck so for a couple of days i was a silver boy until the silver wore off or absorbed into my skin or somethink. I always wondered what was inside Etch-a-Sketch. They are quite old - I had one when I was a kid. I used to find it very frustrating trying to draw diagonal lines. I can't blame you for smashing yours. I often felt like doing that to mine. |

Talking now of toys, I've had such a laugh today. I found my son's Snake Mountain (He Man - Alph, don't get too excited) and my grandchildren had such fun with it.

cabinet of dr caligari by any chance? thats one of my favourites.. LOVE the look and set design I think that what I was especially thinking of was film of a stage play of Caligari, though it might have been the film itself- I saw it on a short documentary that I downloaded with a 1920 film about the Golem, though I got Caligari a coouple of days ago as well (I saw that many years ago at the Electric on Portobello road; I have only just learned that the Somnambulist is played by the Spy in Black.) |

You are definitely turning into a grumpy old woman . . you'll be back on JSG in no time! Whatever happened to that liberal-minded reasonable Housesparrow we all knew and loved?  I smetimes pop into JSG just to remind myself how reasonable I really am. There's no point posting on a board if you just agree with everyone. But I've always disliked smug kids. |
