Reportedly the favorite film of Francis Ford Coppola. When he first met Michael Powell, in a New York restaurant, Coppola introduced himself by walking across the room singing Sabu's song "I want to be a sailor" at the top of his lungs to show he was a fan.

Nachdem wir sie nun doch relativ oft hoch und runter gelaufen sind, ist St. Martin’s Lane natürlich ein hervorragend passender Heimkehrfilm. Vivien Leigh lässt sich von Charles Laughton von Taschendiebin zum Mitglied einer Straßenmusikertruppe auf den Gehwegen von London befördern. Als sie, Straßenmusik ist ja auch nur eine Ausrede für Betteln (sagen die hochmütigen feinen Damen), dem kutivierteren Songwriter Rex Harrison begegnet, läßt sie den unglücklichen Charles allerdings sitzen und wird zum gefeierten West-End-Star. Rex kann sie allerdings nicht so leicht um den Finger wickeln, denn der sieht sie schon die nächste Gelegenheit ergreifen. Unterschwellig nimmt man an, daß sie wohl in Gestalt von David O. Selznick auftauchen wird.

Yet it is in the unending game of hide-and-seek between the uninhibited and the diabolic, the patriotic and erotic, the traditional and the technological, the Tory and the pagan, that Powell's work finds much of its fascination. One can endlessly establish spiritual concavities, the fact remains that the convexities are intricate and fascinating. Perhaps his most 'perfect' film is a child's Arabian Nights fantasy, The Thief of Bagdad (1940), for which he shares directorial credits with Ludwig Berger (German specialist in trick-and costume-films) and Tim Whelan (an efficient Hollywood craftsman). This too carries many distinctly Powellian notations. Almost its first shot is of a painted eye on a ship's brow, surging into close-up. Its story (by Miles Malleson) includes the theft of the all-seeing eye (Peeping Tom indeed!) from a Tibetan temple (Black Narcissus). The giant genie from the bottle (beautifully played by Rex Ingram) prefigures the gigantic bottle in The Small Black Room. Its tricks with time prefigure A Matter of Life and Death. If it never quite transcends the sphere of children's film, it remains one of the classic screen fantasies.

I found all the Asimovs on audiobook originally, but I've been slowly collecting the physical books at thrift stores. I prefer the weird old covers to the plain modern ones you can get at B&N, and these old versions often have interesting ads for more books at the end or funny dedications at the front. I half-love and half-hate how mismatched they are, but the excitement of finding a new one outweighs my other feelings.

Prelude: a cracked-binding October 1991 Bantam reissue, with a cheesy cover by Will Cormier of an Edward-Norton-looking Hari Seldon checking into a fabulous pink Trantorian hotel. There is an ad in the middle for a collector's edition of the original Foundation novel with the awesome Michael Whelan cover + a copy of the new and "exclusive" short story Cal (I've read it, it rules, though it's a bit of a clip show). In the back, there is an ad for the upcoming novel Forward the Foundation (the best one but not part of my collection yet), TWO author bios and an adorable author photo. Asimov would die shortly after, in April 1992 :(

Foundation: a 1985 reprint by British publisher Panther Books, with a stunning wraparound cover by Tim White of the Foundation's lonely settlement on Terminus. There is an order form in the back for dozens of classic sci-fi books by multiple authors, with prices marked in pounds. I wonder how this European book crossed the pond to end up at a used book store in California? I'm glad it did, or I never would have heard of Tim White.

Second Foundation: a 1987 12th printing by Del Rey, with the iconic Michael Whelan cover of Arkady Darrel my beloved standing among the ruins of Trantor. This is my favorite cover of them all🥰 There is a long-ish and funny intro by Asimov about this series' complicated publication history, and an ad in the back for the original Foundation trilogy + the first spinoff, Foundation's Edge.

Foundation's Edge: a first-edition 1982 hardback by Doubleday. It is missing the dust jacket, which isn't a huge loss since, according to Google images, it's not that interesting. It does have a funny dedication.

Robots of Dawn: a "Book Club Edition" 1983 hardback by Doubleday. It still has the dust jacket, designed by Kiyoshi Kanai; the cover isn't that special but the jacket does have another great author photo inside. There is also some water damage on the last pages (probably from some Giskard x Daneel fan's tears).

Complete Robot: a "Book Club Edition" 1982 hardback by Doubleday. The wraparound robot-arm dust jacket by Kiyoshi Kanai is simple but cool as hell, and features a great big author photo that fills the whole back cover☺️ There is also a lovely "Last Word" that makes me tear up a bit.

Stars, Like Dust: a 1983 hardback "Book Club Edition" reprint by Doubleday. The dust jacket features nice wraparound art by Joe Bergeron. In the afterword, Asimov apologizes for the outdated science of his fictional lifeless world's atmospheric composition, since the book was first published in 1950. He doesn't apologize here for the stupid US Constitution subplot that his editor forced him to add, though I know from other sources that he really hated that thing.

Gods Themselves: a cracked-binding paperback by Fawcett Crest, with no date given besides the 1972 copyright. The cover art is absolutely fantastic and bananas; I think it depicts the 3 gender roles of the aliens' marriage, and the 2 worlds colliding. The book doesn't credit the artist, but ISFDB online identifies him as Charles Moll. Thanks Charles Moll👏👏👏

1981. Frost and Fire

is the debut album by band Cirith Ungol. Its music is generally faster and more simplistic than that of King of the Dead, which saw the band begin to adopt a doom metal style influenced heavily by power metal. artwork by Michael Whelan.

This is masterpiece, and great start to a highly underrated & overlooked band this is classic eighty's metal Right up there with Manilla Road, Iron Maiden Fates Warning, omen. Highly recommended.

Highlights: " I'm Alive", "Frost and Fire", "Edge of a Knife"
