I decided I would post trailers of my favorite movies. One per post. Sorry in advance if the movies become broken because they’ll all be linked from youtube. Here’s day 59:
Artists and Models This is an old favorite that always seemed to be on TV all the time when I was a kid. In addition to just being a funny movie, it has the added appeal of being centered around comics and comic book artists.
Since this film is a comtemporary or near contemporary of Frederic Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent,” you can see similar views expressed by characters within the film. Of course, Wertham’s book and the resulting congressional investigation led to the creation of the Comics Code Authority, the comic world’s equivalent of the Hays code. The Comics Code Authority, in the name of protecting the children of America, retarded the development of the industry so much so that one will find it became wildly divergent in sophistication and popularity from its analogues in Japan and the European continent.
…But that’s more than you needed to know! Anyway, I couldn’t find a trailer so I just posted a clip of my favorite scene: The Bat-lady/Fat-lady scene.

Tony Delgado vs. georgemark on correspondence chess by Chess.com Normally, I don’t post games in which one side completely dominated the other as it’s not very entertaining or instructional. However, I thought this game was amusing because it illustrated just how quickly a poor move can make you lose a game immediately. A couple of things:
1. This is a thematic game based around the gruenfeld defense. So, we had a starting position and the initial three moves were already made for us.
2. We played 4 more moves before he resigned.
3. This certainly illustrates the danger of having a weak center, especially while your king is in the center! It allowed me to fork his rook and king right after his initial blunder which lost his queen! He had to immediately resign at that point.
Enjoy this short but amusing game. Right now we’re playing our rematch and I may post that at a future date.

From The Root. Click here to read the entire article.
When Hattie McDaniel, the first African American ever nominated for an Academy Award, arrived at the Ambassador Hotel for the 1940 ceremony, she was seated at a table on the extreme periphery of the auditorium. McDaniel had been nominated for Best Supporting Actress based on her role as Mammy in Gone With the Wind (1939). Though this seating assignment was quite insulting, such slights were not uncommon, as McDaniel had also been forced to miss the film’s Atlanta premiere due to southern Jim Crow laws. McDaniel would go on to win the Academy Award that evening in 1940, becoming the first African American to ever win the prestigious award. It would be 24 years before another African American would be declared an Oscar winner.

What’s up Tiger Lily. This movie is a great little wacky idea. It’s a Japanese spy movie that has been redubbed to become a comedy. Written by Woody Allen. The video below is his intro to the film and then the link beneath the video leads to the actual trailer.
