🚨 NEW MUSIC FOR BANDCAMP FRIDAY! 🚨 Last year, I was honored with the chance to write music for a little film made by an old friend & it resulted in a loving ode to classic Italian film music with some of my patented twists. Have a listen & buy it today! jacobcalta.bandcamp.com/albu…

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS (1986, J.T. Murakami)

“Yahoo!” The old amnesia trope was never done better than in #NitWittyKitty, Tom drives Jerry to distraction when he thinks he’s a mouse; #ThePiratesofDarkWater’s Monkey Birds had to be a nod to #TheWizardofOz; Seraphim gains entry to The Hidden Realm too easily. #BloodofZeus.

#SaturdayMorningCartoons today: #NitWittyKitty: A whack on the head, & Tom thinks he’s a mouse. #AstroBoy: a Hollywood producer tries to take over the world. #ThePiratesofDarkWater: Nibbler isn’t exactly king material. #BloodofZeus: the Talos episode I was waiting for.

THE FORBIDDEN PHOTOS OF A LADY ABOVE SUSPICION (1971, L. Ercoli)

On Judy Garland's first day on the set of Stanley Kramer's "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961), which was her first onscreen appearance since "A Star is Born" (1954), the cast and crew greeted her with warm and lasting applause. It was a welcome return to films for her, and her mood was further elevated by the lower pressure of acting in a cameo, rather than carrying a picture as she had done in almost every film she made since childhood. Her joyful attitude made it difficult for her to perform her dark emotional scenes. "Damn it, Stanley, I can't do it. I've dried up. I'm too happy to cry," she said. Kramer gave her a ten-minute break before continuing to great effect. "There's nobody in the entertainment world today, actor or singer, who can run the complete range of emotions, from utter pathos to power...the way she can," Kramer said. ("Behind the Camera - Judgment at Nuremberg", Rob Nixon, TCM, 2010) P.S: Remembering the great Judy Garland on her 104th birthday!
