"Alright, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my close-up."--Norma Desmond


I watched the AFI Top 100 movie #12 Sunset Boulevard a couple weeks ago, and it's still playing over in my mind.  The egomaniacal Norma Desmond.  Joe, the down and out writer.  Max, the servant (with a twist!).  And 22-year old Betty, the wholesome young studio "reader".  A fascinating film, that even Cathy gave an "A" rating.  The quintessential role for Gloria Swanson, coming in the twilight of her career on the big screen.  A gem.

Indonesian Feral Street Dog Photo on Wikipedia

A feral street dog photographed on the main road of the city of Gianyar, Bali, Indonesia. This is a common sight as there are about a half a million feral dogs on the island and they get no care and subsist on the bits of rice in offerings and garbage. This animal is suffering from scabies (mange).
