“In underworld slang, doulos means “hat”. But in the secret language of police and criminals, doulos is also the name given to the one who wears it… the police informer.”
The Getaway is the love child of Indecent Proposal, Bonnie and Clyde and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly with a score by Quincy Jones. Doc McCoy (McQueen), is a Texas prisoner waiting on a parole that won’t come. He sends his wife Carol (a sun-kissed Ali McGraw) to go above, beyond, and (to his dismay) beneath a shady businessman with pull to get him released, but there’s a catch… One last robbery with a rag tag team and Carol in tow as a lookout, driver, decoy and bomb planter. The robbery is as successful as these things can be but you didn’t think it would go off without a hitch did you?
Faye Dunaway, 1968 by Jerry Schatzberg.
Hubba Hubba is a weekly feature showcasing the pulicity and editorial photos of the leading ladies and gents of old Hollywood. They don’t make ‘em like them they used to.
This Teenage Mother poster is one of my favorites. I have a copy of it above my kitchen table (not kidding!) and it makes me smile every morning when I’m stuffing Frosted Flakes into my little face and chugging Grovestand OJ like a champ. “She does her homework in parked cars!”

“It was the most exciting period in America, the twenties into the thirties. …It was the starting of the Mafia. And the numbers racket was the most lucrative business of them all. For a penny you could fill a dream. But my dream turned into a nightmare”
And since we’re on the topic of gangsters… Humphrey Bogart, 1941 by Scotty Welbourne.

Earlier this month the Museum of the Moving Image unveiled a face lift to rival that of the tautest of Beverly Hills housewives. The museums new reflected exterior with accents of hot pink, and expanded wing designed by architect Thomas Leeser make it stand out from the neighboring restaurants and shops in Astoria. Upon entering the lobby you feel as though you’ve been transported to a spaceship or something out of Soylent Green, when we thought the future would only include white modular furniture. But it doesn’t feel cold; it feels playful, due in part to Chiho Aoshima’s animated feature City Glow which is projected on the main wall. In the mezzanine amphitheater, a stop motion short Dolls Vs. Dictators by Martha Colburn plays on a loop. It’s colorful collages, Barbies, glitter and whimsical renditions of recognizable figures draw you in. Have you ever seen Kim Jong-il with googly eyes and the legs of a centipede? Here you can!
And now something for the ladies… Guy Madison, 1945 by John Miehle. Fellas forget about these blogs and magazines and know that all you need is a white t-shirt and you’re golden.

I’m pretty new to Dennis Hopper’s filmography, thinking I might start with The American Dreamer: a documentary on his days directing his film The Last Movie.
Boys take note, this is what a man looks like.

I know, I know, I’m kinda blowing it with the updates right now but it’s been a crazy month and now sadly my computer is in the shop for repairs, sucks! Hoping to be back up and running in the next few days with lots of goodies. Until then, how sick is this image from a new photo book about the making of Thriller?! One of my latest purchases and just solidifies the fact that I’m becoming a coffee table book whore. More images and movies soon!
Miss you, mean it!
Xx,
I <3 Hot Dogs
