Welcome to IWETHEY!

New So WTF _is_ a gimlet innafirstplace? Had to look it up...
Aha, the little hand-drill. ('Cause the expression is hardly gonna be referring to the drink, now is it...) Yeah, I've used those. Once upon a long-ago.

Typo(e?)s

Henry V: Branaugh’s “Crispin” speech -- Branagh, no u.

Melancholia: “Kirstin Dunst and Charlotte Gainsborough portray well-heeled (and round-heeled in Kirstin’s case)...” -- Kirsten, Gainsbourg, Kirsten’s.

Star Trek The Next Generation: “...this segmant of the franchise” -- SegmEnt?

Hamlet: “why Steadman is the headliner here” -- but the picture caption says Edward Hopper.



Misc notes

Lawrence of Arabia -- “Steadman” somehow makes it look more like the recent _Dune_, IMO.

The Seventh Seal:
- Weird bandages on the whiteface. Is Death the Mummy?
- Andrew Wyeth has von Sydow playing himself? One of whom in weirdly anachronistic trench coat.
- The one guy big enough at the time to be on the poster, but never mentioned in (at least the foreign) reviews, is the curly-haired black square on the lower left of the original poster, Nils Poppe. He never became a big international star like von Sydow, but he was pretty huge in Sweden for... Ages. Epochs. Eons. i.e, as long as von Sydow. Didn't he play a jester or something in the film? Fitting, because his output was overwhelmingly on the comedic side.

Metropolis -- “Piss”?!? Naughty AI!

Frankenstein -- Who is Andrew Wyeth's face? Bit of Daniel Craig, perhaps some Tommy Lee Jones... But there is one guy with that exact face, isn't there?

Jekyll and Hyde: Steadman’s Hyde is Marty Feldman? Maybe a little, but isn't it more Jack Nicholson's Joker?

Hamlet: “Melancholy Dane looks like the young Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element” -- or in Léon: The Professional. Oh well, only a few years apart.

Romeo and Juliet -- featuring Ali McGraw and Mark Hamill?

Die Hard -- Tiny bit of Keanu Reeves in that Alan Rickman?

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: “noticeable bias toward the character’s more recent embodiment in Gary Oldman” -- Or, for some reason, Bill Nighy again?

African Queen: “I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assert that none of these women could be mistaken for Kate Hepburn” -- Or for a small steamboat.

Thanx. I’ll go weeding these in conjunction with the early “proof” copy due today. I’ve already decided to swap a couple of images.

cordially,

New about the images
I know what you mean about the Wyeth Frankenstein. I can’t place the visage either, but I feel the itch. And what about Edward Hopper’s version, which didn’t make the book? John Wayne, maybe? Steadman’s Jekyll has a bit of Gene Wilder about him. As to Léon: The Professional, I think Steadman’s Henry V on p. 65 comes a bit closer. I’ve credited your quip re The African Queen on p. 106, and have also given you a shout-out on the copyright page. The updated PDF, incorporating corrections and with some image swaps/substitutions/enhancements, is parked at the same old place (“Oh, you must mean the old Same place!” —Firesign Theatre).

cordially,
New Oh, geez, you shouldn't have! *Blushes coquettishly* (Of course you should.)
A bit overwhelming for that little, but thanks!
