Interesting:
KQED 9 tonight is showing two films: Arsenic and Old Lace, and A Fish Called Wanda. The first stars Cary Grant, whose real name is Archie Leach, the second stars John Cleese as a character called Archie Leach.
Unconnected except for the tenuous link of film, my recent eBay binge yielded several very nice cameras, including a very nice Pentax MV that I have been using for the past couple of days, but the item that arrived today is the absolute top bargain of the lot. I got a Yashica Super-600 Electro 8mm movie camera for a little over $10 plus about $13 shipping. I haven't put batteries and film in it yet, but it is really clean and looks and feels gorgeous. It oozes quality and I'm really looking forward to using it.
