O Touro Brasileiro

The young man pictured is a muscleman in Brazil with an unusual and pleasing shape.  He’s thick and strong.  His goal in life isn't zero percent body fat.  My source for the pictures are Bicalimex and destroyerass, both on tumblr. The post was labeled: Brazilian Bull Beefy muscle bear.   I would have reblogged them as such, but was unable to change the order and format in which they were displayed.

Jacqueline Pearce died yesterday at the age of seventy four. She haunted much of my childhood as Alice Mary Thompson in the Plague of the Zombies (John Gilling 1966), especially when rising from the grave. RIP

Alice White kills the artist, Mr Crewe, in BLACKMAIL

Hitchcock’s Blackmail (1929) exists in two separate versions, one silent and the other sound.  (Those theaters not yet equipped for sound showed the silent version.)  It is often credited as the first British sound film (which it is not); and it is much more widely known in that version, though there are critics who prefer the silent.  In either version it is a great film.  The images presented here are from the scene where Alice White (Anny Ondra) stabs and kills her would be rapist, the artist, Mr Crewe (Cyril Ritchard), with a rather convincing bread knife.  On her way out she stabs one of his paintings as well.  It is, of course, for the first “murder” that the heroine is being blackmailed.
