Droog hat tests for Stanley Kubrick’s A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
The Muppets: what we see, and what goes on behind the scenes. A hazy image unfortunately, from a magazine. Then again there’s some much HD 4K ultra crystal clear crap around, sometimes I just love the grainy vintage-ness of an image like this. Love the view of the set too.
GHOSTBUSTERS behind the scenes—Slimer basically.
HOWARD THE DUCK (1986). Behind the scenes, and a few shots from the film.
As kids, we were puzzled—baffled—that George Lucas, the man who gave us Star Wars, was somehow involved with Howard the Duck. I’m even more baffled, now, that it seems to have so many fans. But hey.

Part one HERE. Outtakes on my Pinterest account, which you can find HERE.
VIVA MARIA! is one of her more popular films. I’ve never liked it much though—too burlesque. In her autobiography, BB dedicates quite a few pages to the making of it. She had a great time on location in Mexico: a rarity, because she usually was depressed during films. For a month or so, she felt quite alive. Not bothered by paparazzi for the first time in years, she visited shops, temples, she played guitar, lounged, attended a secret satanic ritual, which gave her a panic attack (and nightmares). At one point, for a scene, she had to swim in a lake with sharks, which were kept at bay with loud drums—one of the crew members lost a leg—but she did it and felt proud afterwards.
She was very jealous of her co-star, Jeanne Moreau, who was more cunning and ambitious, whereas BB was lazy and indifferent when it came to films; instead, she preferred to spend time with the various stray dogs that hung around the set, wondering if she should quit films and dedicate her life to helping animals, which of course eventually she did.
