Recently watched: strange and obscure neo-noir Union City (1980). Tagline: “In 1953, Russia exploded the H-bomb. Hollywood discovered Marilyn Monroe. Washington reeled under McCarthyism. While something was about to happen in … Union City!” The sole feature film directed by Mark Reichert, Union City has a bad reputation (when it’s remembered at all) but it’s of interest – especially for admirers of the band Blondie: Deborah Harry stars and Chris Stein composed the soundtrack. Having said that, I can imagine Blondie fans feeling nonplussed by Reichert’s deliberately unglamorous presentation. When we’re first introduced to Harry as frustrated housewife Lilian, she is filmed from behind, with brown hair and wearing an apron, frying pork chops and sauerkraut. Of course, she’s not truly “mousey” – it IS Harry, after all. And Lilian gets a lingerie-clad boudoir scene later and towards the end, bleaches her hair blonde. Anyway, Union City is adapted from the 1937 Cornell Woolrich short story “The Corpse Next Door”. (The action is updated here to the early fifties. The period costumes and décor have an interesting R W Fassbinder vibe). Synopsis: neurotic businessman Harlan (Dennis Lipscomb) becomes fixated on uncovering who is stealing the milk bottles from outside his front door early every morning, thus ignoring the womanly needs of wife Lilian, who begins an affair with their apartment building’s hunky superintendent Larry Longacre (heartbreakingly handsome young Everett McGill aka "Big" Ed Hurley on Twin Peaks). Union City unfolds in an alienated, deadpan way, sharing the same underground New York sensibility as the cinema of, say, Scott and Beth B. Everyone delivers their lines in a detached, benumbed manner, except for the panic-stricken Harlan and Irina Maleeva as deranged neighbour The Contessa, whose bizarre delivery is operatic. Interestingly, 1980s rock diva Pat Benatar (who was frequently dismissed in some quarters as an ersatz Deborah Harry) crops up in a small role and is surprisingly effective (in her close-ups, Benatar possesses an almost Shelley Duvall quality). Union City is weird. Claustrophobic. Alienating. Arty. All qualities I happen to like! Union City is on YouTube.

You like trains, I like trains, I wanna share with you a train that connects us more than one would think!

This little adorable 2' Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk locomotive, built in 1940!

One of the final locomotives built by CKD before it became BMM during the occupation.

And somehow, it made its way from Europe, to California, then over to Indiana. And when it arrived at the Hesston Steam Museum in Indiana in the 80s or 90s, they checked it over and found chalk marks on the inside of the boiler from when it was built.

It had never been steamed before!

Anyway hehe wanted to share an adorable little loco Ive seen and ridden behind

RIDDEN BEHIND?? I'M INCREDIBLY JEALOUS!! AND SUCH PRETTY LIVERY....

And it was THAT fresh? Sounds like a successful attempt at saving it from use/dismantling by the nazis, though I see that the story behind it is a complete mystery with only speculations around...still, very interesting!! :3c

Fun Fact!

In Issue 3 of the Sonic Boom comics by Archie, there is a panel where Cubot references Eggman's past henchmen, BREAKING the fourth wall down completely!

Funny little side fact about this reference:

Both the Underground and X henchmen were going to appear in my Sonic Boom "AU" story. I was developing the AU even before I knew about this. XD

Sleet and Dingo were living with Eggman's Cousin, Julian Robotnik. I mentioned it in another post a bit more in detail, but they are just two loving dorks who played some important roles in the story.

what I haven't mentioned was Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun's involvement in the story. And I can't go too deep into it without spoiling things.

But the tl;dr is that Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun come from a different Universe (similar to how Morpho does in the show). They were able to escape a rather cruel Eggman and, thus, have serious trust issues, ESPECIALLY with this universe's Eggman. They end up living with Morpho and Mom-bot.

And they refuse to see the change in me, why won't they wake up!!

Hey, I know that there’s a lot going on for you, and I know things are tough. but it’s a big thanks to your help, and your efforts that people here are recovering so quickly. There’s a few places where everything is practically back to normal because of what you did during that first shadow sky.

Go beat up that white haired bitch.

Thank the strength of the Guardian. I'm glad the recovery efforts are going so well back in Hoenn. I might have a strained relationship with my homeland, but it's still my homeland, and more importantly it's a place full of innocent people. Good people. People who don't deserve the horrors Team Snagem has inflicted on the world.

But I need you to understand that I am just one person.

I am one person, not even a professional, who's just doing the best they can like everyone else. My team might be a little stronger than most, but I don't have the resources of the Rangers or the League at my back. I'm just one guy. And I'm really not even good at just being that.

I'm glad you appreciate what I've done, but I'm not the reason why everything's going as smoothly as it has. It's been a group effort.
