Hey is Blake the film critic at The Ace Of Spades HQ?

 You know I have been a faithful reader of the Ace of Spades HQ and I have noticed some clues about their main movie critic. He uses a lot of terms that our old friend Blake used to use when posting at my old blog. For instance he calls his son The Boy and his girl The Flower as he writes about their reactions to the various movies he is reviewing.

This week he writes an interesting review about Westerns that plays into what edutcher and I always talk about. I am ever more convinced that it it s Blake. 

I wonder if I can persuade him to comment over here?

I would like to point out something to you......

But I forgot what it was.

Oh yeah now I remember. What ever happened to blake?

Wolf Blitzer Would Not Approve

Blake wrote a great comment back here on my Red Hot Riding Hood/Tex Avery post. This Tex Avery cartoon is from the same era, but is an example of a raw & visceral response to a common enemy.

The cartoon was nominated but lost out in the Oscars to a Donald Duck cartoon, Der Fuehrer's Face. These were all from a time when moral distinctions were more clearly and more easily drawn.

The Man Who First Galvanized The World Was...

...Luigi Galvani!  In 1771, he discovered that frog's legs twitched when touched by static electricity. This in turn galvanized a young gal by the name of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The rest is history.
