TIME BANDITS (1981), dir. Terry Gilliam

I just love the idea of taking guys that are small and treating them like heroes, treating them like Alan Ladd, almost as tall as Alan Ladd, I think he was about three inches taller than those guys. That’s what the joy of doing it was and giving these guys a chance to get out of their fucking Womble costumes and R2-D2 tin cans and be people. And they all rose to the occasion, they were all brilliant. —Terry Gilliam

The Merybury Chronicles: Volume VII

Festive COVID has struck, so just a small update today, I'm afraid, with some snippets of news from around the town.

A new retirement community has opened its doors - Purvis Lodge.

Herbert and Faith Goodie are the first residents to move in, and take advantage of the leisure facilities.

It's also time to say goodbye to another pet - Pip.

Sally smustles away the sadness of the loss. She's due to head off to uni any day now, along with several of her fellow teens.

The rumour around town is that George Wickham is playing away from home.

Certainly, a few months later, Marla Biggs registers the birth of a daughter, whom she names Georgina.

Does the little girl bear any resemblance to her purported father? Perhaps. I'm sure we'll be seeing her around town, so there'll be plenty of opportunity to decide. Georgina's stats:

~ Cancer 8 / 7 / 5 / 9 / 6

~ Charismatic / Perfectionist / Hates the Outdoors

~ OTH: Arts & Crafts

~ Favourite Colour(s): Black / White

Ben Johnson (Melvin Purvis) - Dillinger (1973)

Thanks to mikeygar81 for reminding me of John Milius' 1973 gangster biopic, Dillinger, with Warren Oates as Dillinger and the magnificent Ben Johnson as Melvin Horace Purvis. I posted some pictures of Johnson in Dillinger - without much explanation, it must be admitted - some time ago but more of the man is always good.

The end of the film is particularly gripping (a tribute to the lighting, camera work and music) where Dillinger is eventually shot down outside the cinema.

Ben Johnson with (by this point) his trademark leather gloves and cigar steals every moment.

But it's the close-ups of Johnson that make the scene.

He tells his men not to make a move until he identifies Dillinger and lights his cigar...

...which he never does, choosing to shoot Dillinger down himself.

In the end, Dillinger's death is almost an anti-climax compared to the tenseness of the preceding moments, but an excellent piece of cinema nonetheless. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Pity..
