1978 Week Ends Abruptly: Do You Really Want to Watch the Trailer from "Convoy?"

If you really do, it's here.  But wouldn't it me more fun to watch the trailer from cinematic masterpiece Orca?




Unlike Convoy, a 1978 release, Orca graced screens in 1977, so doesn't technically fit within this week's theme.  I think it's a sacrifice worth making.

"Night and Day" was not an isolated incident.  Can you believe there's more of this?

They really don't make them like this any more.

Starfishes of the Mind

This video clip makes me shriek.  I can not tell whether I am shrieking with delight or terror. Via Everything is Terrible:



Weirdly enough, while reading Echinoblog yesterday, I also came upon a similar clip (embedded below); credits end around 1:30:



If you really want to watch Warning from Space in its entirety, it's here.

Are giant, English-speaking, bipedal starfishes "trending?" Gosh, I hope so!

Mind Control Nail Art

I'm pretty sure this work by "luxury nail artist" Sophy Robson depicts the "Lady Gaga is an illuminati puppet" theory.

The above photo appears in CNN's "the democratic self-expression of nail art" slide show:

British nail artist Sophy Robson has built an empire around her iconic rainbow tips and use of graphic pop art images. The owner of London's Sophy Robson Nails and NailPorn concierge service also appeared on the Martha Stewart Show to show the American style icon how to make 3-D nails.

Aha!  This explains those Westminster photos.

This photo, from twitter, is captioned "Martha Stewart's Chow Chow posing with its handler."

Oh Internet, you have the answer to everything!

You help the kids express themselves, AND you keep sea creatures safe from predatory phlebotomists.

Just use a fake blood recipe from here: http://goo.gl/WSHGA and pour some in the vial. If people ask, say it's narwal blood. It's not like they can prove you wrong.

On the one hand, I love the commentary on anti-woman driving laws.  I'm relieved that no more redheads are getting exploded.   I'm relieved that I don't have to revisit my conflicted feelings about Straight to Hell's inevitable downgrade from song to sample. But I am so confused. 

Oh, great.  The liberation of Kuwait has begun. 

What on Earth are you wearing?  Also—note Arab-attired men in background standing with arms crossed.

Ladies stand (and "dance") with arms crossed.

Back to the men. Same stance, new location.  What are they standing on?  Are these pipeline segments?

This would be a great place for some log-driver type fancy footwork.



Or guinea pigs!




Ladies!  Just one in the car... I think?  Or is that a car full of festively hijabed and niqabed ladies?  Or just very strange upholstery?
