Welp, here's lookin' at you, kid. It's my 2nd attempt to do a scheduled post, and hopefully it works this time. There's also several points of interest, here:

  • I bumped in to this page on Horacio Altuna's excellent art stream and was struck by how different Mousse's style was here, compared to the lush, wild-ride pastels of Pastorius Grant, which honestly kind of baffled me, story-wise.
  • Here, the art reminded me a good bit of Argentinian Eduardo Risso's stuff, which in itself reminds me of Frank Miller's early style. Are these imitative works, tributes, or is it not worth making such comparisons in the first place? Hmm.
  • Anyway, what mainly struck me is that silent-era and early-'soundy' movie star Louise Brooks evidently has a BD bio! 😃 Me, I've watched a couple of her free movies on YT and found them surprisingly entertaining. (check 'em out, ey?)
  • And then I read her WP bio, finding it quite fascinating, if also saddening and tragic. In short, like many actresses across the years, I feel that she wasn't treated with nearly the same leeway as her male peers. In fact, her laudably innovative acting in the soundy-era seemed to offend American audiences at the time, whereas someone later like Marlon Brando was embraced for a similar approach(!)
