Tragedy or Hope?
Carts of Darkness
"In the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, local bottle pickers have created a thriving subculture of shopping-cart racing. Murray Siple, a former snowboarder and sport film director injured in a serious car accident ten years ago, captures the thrill of a high-speed race of one of the men and compares it to extreme sports."

Globetrotters Costume Party
Here is a history of The Globetrotters Club, which is still in operation today.Shortly after their founding, in 1947, they threw a costume party, pictured here.
I hope such events are still part of their activities.

Samsonov
From what I can discern, this fellow is giving us the background on his epic movie, Samsonov. If this is what the "extras" are like, I think I'll skip the feature presentation.
Caution: some mild nudity.

P J Harvey and Bjork onstage together is almost the definition of a weirdness black hole.

Follies of the Mad Men #61
[From Playboy magazine for September 1971.]Oh, yeah, a belt your Dad would wear back in 1971 could trigger all that groovy hippie stuff. Note the sign that uses Frank Zappa's name for cachet. Did he sue, I wonder?
