The Big Lebowski Themed Bowling Alley (above), designed by Cowboy Creative, is pretty cool. Make sure to scroll down to see the clip from the movie that provided the inspiration. I never tire of this film.

Ranch Houses, Vintage Icons of Comfortable Outdoor Lifestyle are making a comeback. These illustrations from the 1950s are very appealing.

3 Quarks Daily posted this link to Tarkovsky's Solaris (full film). I saw a stage version in Edinburgh a few years ago and found it intriguing (Mr. Nag didn’t concur) but I haven’t seen the film. I will set aside some time to watch it.

    “Don’t have enough dough”... I hope I’m not in St Peter’s book as an unindicted co-conspirator
    The Tarkovsky's Solaris movie is 2¾ hours, if the play was that long I hope the seats were comfortable.
    Nice array of links today.

  2. Tarkovski's Solaris and Stalker can better be enjoyed set on 2X speed. It just now occurred to me to try Godard's Alphaville at 2X speed, to see if that would help it any. It does not.
