Film Fest - Loy and Powell

On a bit of a Myrna Loy/William Powell kick around here!  Just watched I Love You Again - amnesia has never been so much fun.  I loved Powell's character's reaction to waking to find a stuffed squirrel staring at him from his bedside.

William, Myrna, and a Squirrel - not from the film, but funny.  More at Film Noire Photos

I'd recommend starting out with that classic The Thin Man, then if you enjoy their chemistry, explore that film's several sequels and then others like Double Wedding.  (Earlier POST.)

HERE's a good review for The Thin Man.

Science Is Wrong...

The human race is theorized to have evolved from monkeys, but even a cursory examination of the workings of the human brain reveals the flaw in this "monkey" genesis:

It was obviously squirrels.

I mean, look at the way a human mind works!  Either racing in a lunatic way from point A to point B - by way of Z, G, with a double-back at P 1/2 - or our brain curls up in a metaphorical hollow tree to hibernate until we poke it with a stick.  If our brain does find an idea (seen the pop-eyed, startled look on a squirrel's face with a nut crammed it in its mouth?)...  then it darts here and there, not at all sure what to do with the awkward thing.  Mostly we fruitlessly dig for ideas, chittering a squirrelly, "Here?  There? Where?  Must be one somewhere!
