Now THESE are the top 5 albums of last year… sorry James!
Donald Duck’s “Modern Inventions” (1937)
I had been looking for this short film ever since I saw a clip of it at the “Il Etait Une Fois… Walt Disney” exhibition in Paris last year (now showing in Montreal). Turns out that I had it on DVD all along! A shame you can’t see the whole movie here but, as this Flickr set demonstrates, Donald sure wears a wonderful array of headwear during the cartoon.
Someone get me the name of his hairdresser…
Ok, so it’s a bit late but then so is this website! These were the most played albums last year according to our iTunes stats:
Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has been
Having already proved popular in Japan, France and Portugal, Star Wars: The Exhibition will be shown in County Hall, London from 5 May this year. Running until 1 September, the exhibition presents a respectable collection of memorabilia, including 280 original film props, vehicles, costumes and models covering the entire Star War saga.
Visitors can apparently participate in several interactive exhibits and activities from Jedi training to a green screen simulation - which is the effect used to make it look as though you are in actually in the film.
Other attractions we’d like to see, however, include a “Guess Which One’s Heavier: George Lucas’s Wallet or His Chin” competition and of course a life-size Jar Jar Binks, which the public can punch repeatedly.
