Asides - Who is third from the left and what film is that?

Here are a couple of fun (IMHO) images that I put together a few weeks ago .

The first relates directly to this blog. It is a montage, collage, mash-up, whatever, of a large number of magazines in our collection. It comes without a "key" so you are on your own if you can't identify someone. It is large enough to be used as wallpaper, but frankly, it would drive me crazy trying to pick out a program icon sitting on top of it. Hope you enjoy looking.

The second image is film related, but not tied to an actress or era. You are looking at some title screens for films in our library. I use a program called DVDpedia to catalog our collection. It is a Mac only program, but there is a similar program on the PC side called MediaMan. One of the best things about these programs is that to add a film, you enter the name in the search field and it goes out to Amazon, IMDB and a number of other sources and downloads all the information about the film into the database. However, especially for older and obscure films, images are not downloaded (films on DVD usually return the cover image of the DVD), so I do a screen capture of the title screen and drop that in. Two things; it shows my passion for old B-movies, and that I clearly have too much free time. How many of these films have you seen? It could be a decent number if you like old films and have TCM on cable. :-)
