I had something similar happen at a “modern art” installation when I tripped over a line of bricks that stretched across the floor and brought up at a table on which reposed a commode wrapped in brown paper and string.

You should have sued - no warning/ hazard sign.
Thank you so much! Its brilliant, I specially like Harold the butler. And who could forget “Are you related to the Boston Hitlers?”

its clearly a prototype for the movie “Arthur” Dudley Moore. (they stole the idea and rewrote it is what I mean, really only changed the money coming from inheritance instead of the woman he marries, and being a total drunk) : ) I like seeing filmmaking from this era, so different, pace is very different, low key, very human.

One of our favorite series is THE LOST ROOM. It aired on the Sci-Fi network and was only on for one season, which is a shame. The plot revolves around a cop searching for his daughter who is lost in some kind of a time-warp related to an old motel on Route 66 and the “objects” of the one time inhabitant.

With thanks to uintatom.
I’m going to break the movie rule and post a British TV series.
If you’ve never seen this it’s only 6 episodes with an hour long special to finish the series. It’s far superior to most movies churned out by Hollywood and well worth the time.

Here’s a belated Halloween film. It’s a comic drama about a gravedigger who just can’t seem to keep all the corpses underground. (This is Not suitable for children and some of the corpses are nude). It’s Italian title is Dellamorte Dellamore:
From “Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical” -
Mary Lane:
“Next week, president Roosevelt
is coming to town.”
Jimmy:
“Wow! You know, my pop says
He’s a Labor-appeasing,
Supreme-Court-packing bolshevik.”
If you haven’t already seen the 1936 original “Reefer Madness” (original title “Tell Your Children”), you will laugh much harder if you do. Both are available to watch for free.
