My favorite adaptation of the "Last of the Mohicans."

Forget about all of those movies. The best adaptation is "Hawkeye" from the 1990's starring the inimitable Lee Horsley and the sublime Lynda Carter! This schmaltz perfectly brought to life James Fenimore Coopers tales in the manner they deserved.

You had your noble redman. Your stalwart frontiersman.Your heaving bosoms. Your huge milky white heaving bosoms. Did you catch the scene were the mountain lion was mezmerized by Lynda's low cut wenches dress and her heaving fun bags? A classic I tells ya.

I do enjoy that period in American History and watch every movie, book or TV show that covers it. From classics like "Drums Along the Mohawk" to  like "Outlander" I am sucker for that era. I don't even sweat the foliage if there are Iroquois and Huron's and frontiersman. And of course heaving bosoms.

If you get a chance check it out.

"In this presentation, you can see the relative sizes of objects arranged on a single scale. This lets you grasp the sizes of things that you cannot compare side by side in the real world. Today's electron microscopes and astronomical telescopes reveal objects that were invisible to people of the past. How is your grasp of the sizes of such things?"

"Universcale lets you see and understand the relative size of the full range of known objects in our universe."

Film Noir……..Shiny suits, skinny ties and jazz.

I am obsessed with Film Noir. But then youse guys know that. I go off on tangents and get obsessed with subjects all the time. Starlets of the 1960’s. Hallmark TV. Sinead O’Conner. Trump. So I do a bunch of posts on the subject. Currently I am jonesing on Film Noir.

Film Noir has been defined as a style or genre of cinematographic film marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism and menace. I think of it when I watch those late fifties early sixties TV shows that I love. Brooding protagonists in cheap shiny suits with skinny ties sitting in a club listing to jazz while drinking whiskey neat with a blowsy dame. Getting mixed up in some craziness with sinister overtones.
