It’s the end of the year 2022. Last time I’ll post this John Solie art, folks!

Soylent Green (1973)

Where's The Hunger Games?

[crimson-and-clover-1717]

Ed and Stede are renowned for growing the best roses on the coastline. Everyone wants to know their method. What is the secret?

Ed doesn’t know actually because Stede grows them for him; arranges the blooms in vases around the inn; sprinkles rose-petals on the bed before passionate, filthy love-making; pops a bud behind Ed’s ear as he kisses away tears.

What Ed also knows is that whenever a guest shows one ounce of racism, Stede deals with it. Ed doesn’t know what action Stede takes, he just knows it’s taken care of.

And here is where we get the convergence of the twain…

Because what Stede does to these racist cretins is turn them into fertiliser in his special Grinding-to-Bonemeal-People-Who-Have-Hurt-Ed shed.

And that, dear reader, is the wonderful secret ingredient behind Stede’s price-winning roses.

Because you taste like cat food. But you are a person. Which means... Cat food... IS PEOPLE!!! CAT FOOD IS PEOPLE!!!

Joseph Cotten ,faded star ?

So.....Why dont we talk about Joseph Cotten anymore

Now I am gonna wager a guess,a lot of you just went "Who ?" and that is fair ,I had no clue who this guy was for a long time,and I am a big "Classic Hollywood "nut ,its only upon learning from my Grandmother he was my Great Grandmothers favorite actor that I gained an interest in him ....Mainly cause hes kind of forgotten now ,not entirely ,but he is one of those movie stars who has faded a bit ,which is weird cause he is in some of the biggest movies

He is in Citizen Kane

He is in Gaslight

Hes in the Third Man

He gives a REALLY creepy performance in Hitchcocks Shadow of a Doubt

.....He also did a few genre films late in his career from the more prestegious like Soylent Green

To the horror comedy the Abomnible Dr Phibes (Fun fact,my first exposure to him as an actor )

And ,probally his oddest film,or at least one of the strangest Ive seen ,the Japanese sci fi film Lattitude Zero

So why isnt he talked about ?

Well for my money ,he was a very solid good actor ,very competent ,could play any role making you belive his character even if the premise is odd, you never feel like Joseph Cotten phones it in.Hes a very good actor,especially at playing everymen though he proved he could do other roles like a villain if called on to do that ............Heres the thing though ,Other then Shadow of a Doubt......I seldom watch a Joseph Cotten FOR Joseph Cotten .I wanna stress he is a GOOD actor ,really good....But he lacks pizaz ,and is often overshadowed by bigger personalities

The Powereful Orson Welles

The Heartbreaking Ingrid Bergman

The Wickedly Eccentric Vincent Price

Hes a good foil for these performers but hes overshaodwed by them .They have stayed with us while Cotten has fallen by the wayside

I dunno,I like Cotten ,but he does like that pizaz the more memorable stars of his era have

I REALLY wanna hear peoples thoughts on Joseph Cotten .What do you think of him?Do you not know him ? Do you have a favorite film of his ? What other stars from yester year do YOU feel are forgotten? Please discuss,I am very interested in peoples thoughts

Bonus:A screen shot from Lattitude Zero
