Here’s some fun to end the week. This is reputed to have been made by Terry Gilliam in 1968 for a special Christmas Day show, Do Not Adjust Your Stocking. Unfortunately I’ve been unable to find a source (that isn’t self-referential) but in any case the video is darkly funny. There’s also this quote allegedly made by Gilliam about how he conceived the idea:
I went down to the Tate [Gallery] and they’ve got a huge collection of Victorian Christmas cards so I went through the collection and photocopied things and started moving them around. So the style just developed out of that rather than any planning being involved. I never analysed the stuff, I just did it the quickest, easiest way. And I could use images I really loved.
Sure it might be military porn but porn is porn, right? Should it be relegated to the XXX domain? Should it be banned in India – like the XXX domain? What do you think?
Will 13yo boys be gazing over centerfolds of this beauty under the covers late at night? And telling their mates: Whoa! Just look at the decks on Queen Elizabeth. Will 13yo girls be squealing: The Prince of Wales has ever such a long ramp. It’s not right. Protect our youth. Ban this now!
I disagree. I actually like the boomerang bird. It takes skill to use. And I love the giant red/brown bird. Red bird not so much. What about you? What’s your favourite?
