Cher actually looks a little more like her old self and a little less plastic-surgery in this picture. What ever she is doing or refrain from doing she should keep up with that.
P.S. Dear Cher, I will always love you for your role in Moonstruck and you can do no wrong in my eyes. #manohladargis
@la.donna.pietra: I saw that Batmobile at the NYC car show some years ago. Hubby was shocked that I wanted to attend until I explained my love for that car.
Ang Lee (or the movie studio, I'm not sure which) donated the pair of shirts from the end of Brokeback Mountain to a charity that auctions movie props/costumes on eBay. On the one hand, I wanted them desperately; on the other hand, I'd bawl every time I saw them. So it's probably good that I didn't have about $165K lying around.
This is the shit right here. I would buy that in a second. Can you believe some sociopath abandoned poor Chairy on a street corner? She's not a two-dollar hooker, she's a beloved childhood icon!
My boy is a superhero movie aficionado, and when we went to the Met to see the costume exhibit, I swear he almost cried with joy to be so close to the Dark Knight costume. If he could have, he would've jumped in that thing and wouldn't have removed it for anything short of force.
If he could afford it, our house would look like a Hollywood back lot. It's oddly endearing.
Just for the record a lot of props are beautifully made pieces of art, designed and created just as carefully as the costumes in the films. So yes, I can understand that some of the iconic or really wonderful props can be worth thousands of dollars, because sometimes they are real works of art. Everone gives credit to the costumes and scenery, but sometimes it's a prop that's the true artistic, iconic item.
Yeah, don't get collectors. Not that I judge them for it, to each her own and all that. It's just that I know too many people who went wild on eBay five years ago and now have closets full of crap they don't know what to do with. They spent all this money on it, so they feel they can't just throw it out, but at the same time what does one do with an entire collection of Simpsons action figures still in the original boxes?
@MissAmy: Take them out of their original boxes and make them fight to the death! Or, recreate your favorite Simpson's moment. Or, use them as cake toppers.
@hello.kitty: I am retardedly in love with everything Gene Kelly's ever done. He has always been a crush of mine. Plus he's from Pittsburgh, like Mr. Pants and the Steelers, so in my eyes he can do no wrong.
One of the coolest things I've ever done is tour Forrest Ackerman's house in Los Feliz and see his collection of memorobilia from horror/sci fi movies, and believe me when I tell you he had TONS, and really famous stuff. Rest in peace, Forry - you were the total SHIT.

@hydrogen_jukebox: I've been planning on recreating the whole Pee-Wee living room. At least I was until the divorce papers arrived.

Hey, that's great it looks just like a...um...filing cabinet. What did you say you paid for that?

Um, yeah, then I guess that's, uh, a nice little... filing cabinet.
