The Five Venoms (1978)

[hotvintagepoll]

recently discovered some fascinating hobbies for a few of the older tv men ive been submitting for the vintage tv polls and that got me wondering what (if any) strange/niche/unique hobbies have you ever encountered among classic film actors?

I think my favorite is Danny Kaye, who was apparently the type of guy who would fall in love with something and fall hard—he wanted to learn how to fly a plane, so he did; he conducted orchestras with 0 ability to read sheet music; he became so riveted by the art of Asian cuisine he started studying under master chefs Johnny Kan and Cecilia Chiang in their San Francisco restaurants, eventually building a separate kitchen into his house to support his obsession, which lasted the rest of his life. I just think that's neat.

Happy Halloween! Today was October 31st, 2024 and it was definitely the weirdest Halloween ever! I woke up after getting some okay sleep and headed over to my chemistry discussion. I then headed to Kerkhoff where I went to get lunch with my friend Ms Sophia Wang at Ackerman and we had some good conversation! Then Ms Kelsey Chiang and Mr Johnny Jang took me out to try Honeymee and treated me. It was so delicious and I would definitely go again! I then knocked out for a two hour nap before going to my big’s apartment for the first time ever to go study with her and do our vlog! It was super cute and I missed my big so much! 🫶🫶 I then ended my day off servicing the community by handing out waters to people on frat row! I had a good time today and am now going to bed! 🤩

PauseTalk Vol. 86

Oh what a night it was.

Following a hiatus of 8 years (Vol. 85 was held in 2015), PauseTalk was back for "one night only" on May 31, 2023 for Vol. 86. Held at FabCafe in Shibuya, it not only ended up being a warm reunion for many regulars from the original series, but also included quite a few new faces, which made it feel like a proper edition. Along with reminiscing of bygone days, new topics were brought up and discussed, and ideas were shared. And I got to blow out candles on cake that had my face on it (it was my birthday).

Although we didn't have the traditional attendance sheet printed out, everyone (hopefully) did contribute their names, which you'll find listed here:

Adrian Hogan

Benjamin Parks

Brian Scott Peterson

Calvin Chiang

Don Kratzer

Jean Snow

Jenny Yu

Jian Shen

Johnny Linnert

Judit Moreno

Luis Mendo

Mariko Suzuki

Mark Dytham

Matt Schley

Patrick Laffoon

Robert Zetzsche

Said Karlsson

Victoria Ying

Yuko Yoshikawa

I invite you to check out the Facebook photo gallery featuring photos contributed by Benjamin Parks, Brian Scott Peterson, and Don Kratzer.

The amazing sketches of some of the attendees (included in the photo gallery and at the bottom of this post) were drawn on the spot by Luis Mendo throughout the evening.

What about the future of Pausetalk? Although the intention was just to do a one-off event during my visit to Tokyo (my first proper visit since 2015), I would consider this Vol. 86 to be such a success and the reaction was so positive that I do plan on organizing more editions on my next visits, hopefully once or twice a year. Stay tuned for info on the next one by following the PauseTalk page on Facebook or via this very site.
