I thought there was a thread here for JGL and Gulliver something (sorry, my short term memory fails me so often now) appearing in Lincoln.  I finally saw the film over the holidays with family and thought both actors were excellent in their roles.  I haven't been following JGL's career and at first I thought he was the actor, said to resemble a youthful Johnny Depp, who filmed footage of Barnabas as a teenager for the Depp/Burton production that seems to have wound up on the cutting room floor.

Gulliver/Gully (seems to be known by both the full name and the nickname) is quite the bright spirit.  One is reminded of the young Tatum O'Neal.  I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of him in the future.

Congratulations and Thanks!
A Blessed 2013 to all.

Fans, footage from the 1965 Oscarcast has been posted on Youtube which includes two glimpses of Grayson Hall, nominee for Best Supporting Actress of 1964 for her critically-acclaimed work in the film Night of the Iguana, in the audience at the ceremony.  First, the camera lingers on Grayson in the audience as her name is announced and she smiles a little nervously.  The second glimpse comes if you look carefully behind Miss Kedrova when she stops to give co-star Anthony Quinn an embrace; Grayson is smiling gloriously and you can get a glimpse of Sam sitting next to her:

I have been told that in the complete video, you can catch other glimpses of Mr. and Mrs. Hall at various points in the proceedings.

I absolutely love Grayson's gown and the heavy black couture earrings with which she accessorized it.  The gown makes me think of the work of revolutionary Sixties French designer, Courreges.  It would be fascinating to know specifics of the gown.

She looks utterly glamorous, radiant, and simply stunning!

The holidays, but I don't think Xmas specifically, are mentioned during the Dec. 1966 start of the Laura Collins storyline, and again in Dec. 1969, during the early weeks of the Leviathan storyline.

I kind of like to think of the early Leviathan story as DS' own bizarre comment upon the traditional Xmas story--for unto us a child is born... what child is this who laid to rest in Megan's upper cupboard is panting so heavily... (I would go on, but I will spare you).

cheers, G.

Thanks, MB, for the info about the disc sales.

The director says that he's hoping for a DVD release, I guess sometime in 2013--not clear just when.  He mentioned wanting to show it at festivals.  I guess we'll see what happens.  (He obviously means film festivals, not necessarily DS Festivals.)

Dom honey, alas, the kinescopes continue, though there are far fewer of them coming up.  But an important one is just a couple of episodes down the pike. You'll remember as soon as you see it.
