Ernest Borgnine 1917 – 2012

Le Cram heard the sad news from Chonguy that one of our favorite actors had passed, the Great Ernest Borgnine. Le Cram has enjoyed Mr. Bornine in many roles, but one film in particular is very close to Le Cram's heart. Ernest Borgnine as Harry Booth in "The Black Hole" from Walt Disney Productions in 1979. This is one of Le Cram's favorite childhood films, but Le Cram still loves it very much as an adult. It's arguably the most important Sci-Fi film of all time.
If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor. It was put out on DVD a few years ago in a beautifully restored wide screen print. Another great thing about the "Black Hole" is that it resulted in two different Ernest Borgnine action figures!!! A small one similar in size to the "Star Wars" and "Adventure People" figures that were popular at the time. Lets take a look at the small one first.
And next the larger size figure that was comparable in size to the "Mego" brand figures. Le Cram thinks they were about 10-12 inches in height.
Le Cram had the smaller size figures. They were good toys but the hands all snapped off. You will be missed Ernest Borgnine.

Much ado about Mustaches

Le Cram thinks this one speaks for itself. So without further ado... So what this is is an illustration showing several different mustache styles that were worn by some of our favorite personalities. Hope you enjoy. This is a drawing, not a collage of photographs. Enjoy. Mustaches.
This was a review of mustaches.
