Lemmy in for #1352.
The Warners 1930 version of Melville's opus bears little resemblance to the novel with Barrymore's Ahab surviving and coming home to marry the preacher's daughter. Very weird, shipmates. Think I'll have a tankard at the Spouter-Inn.
Late in her career, Gina Lollobrigida, along with Jean-Louis Trintignant and Ewa Aulin, starred in Giulio Questi's very strange giallo Death Laid an Egg. |

Five music movies
NB: Elton John's real name is Reginald Dwight. Before "Whiplash" and "La La Land" made him famous Damian Chazelle wrote the thriller "Grand Piano". It's not good. Richard Gere plays a jazz trumpeter who falls in love with Diane Lane in "The Cotton Club" "Mystify: Michael Hutchence" documents the life and tragic death of the INXS frontman. "Amazing Grace" is a documentary on the making of Aretha Franklin's iconic 1972 gospel album. |

Weird. Bit like Disney deciding to let Quasimodo and Esmerelda live... not quite what Victor Hugo had in mind. |

Walt Disney reportedly said, when previewing Fantasia, "Gee, this will make Beethoven!" |

Well, no, Elton John is his real (i.e. legal) name, but that was his birth name, yes. |

I haven't seen 2 or 3, though I guess I will have by the end of all this if they're not banned. |

I've actually never read, or seen any adaptation of, either, but I guess it's a bit late to avoid spoilers for those. |

Why would they be banned? Two isn't very good - it gives the whole situation an unnecessary religious angle, and three is absolute shite, barely connected at all.

Yeah... probably. I can get you not knowing the plot of "Notre Dame de Paris", it's not that widely read I suppose, but surprised you hadn't even heard of Ahab's fate in "Moby Dick" - it's the text book definition of a fatal obsession. |

Yeah, I know. It's just that there is this weird fixation with people's 'real' names, as though any name is fundamentally real, and the strange phenomenon people thinking they have the right to know what they classify as someone else's 'real' name. It's one thing when someone just uses a stage name, but when they've legally changed it by deed poll, that's their name. I generally use my initials nowadays and people can be really insistent on trying to find out what they stand for.

I was being flippant, though one never knows these days: like disaster films not being allowed on 'planes.

I knew that it didn't go well. I might add it to this series that I'm organizing. |
