Kodak announced on Monday it's retiring its Kodachrome line of film, because of low customer demand in this digital age.
This iconic film will be particularly missed by still and motion picture photographers for its true tones and vibrant colors .
My personal memories of kodacrhome are from the eighties, shooting hundreds of rolls of kodachrome 64 35mm slide film with my Nikon F3.
The real magic of this wonderful film was that it made life look bright, clear and intense.

Goodbye analog TV! Thanks for all those years of magic moving pictures. You woke me up with cartoons and put me to bed with Marx Brother's movies. Those static and ghost images are being replaced with digital gaps. My memories of TV will always be in analog.

I must say up front that I've never been a "car guy." But as a traditionalist with a heart for nostalgia, it makes me sad to see Pontiac end production in this way. After eight decades of being part of GM, Pontiac is the latest casualty of a radical down-sizing of car makers.

For my generation, The seventies Firebird was probably the best known of the Pontiac models . Everyone knows someone who had one of these decade defining classics. With that huge bird painted on the hood and powerful V8 engine, this was a true American made working man's muscle car.

The original idea for Record Store Day was conceived by Chris Brown, and was founded in 2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner as a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally. 

Dick DeBartolo has been a writer for Mad Magazine since 1966. But what many people do not know is that he was also a writer on the Match Game for twenty years. He wrote over thirty-thousand risqué "fill-in-the-blank questions" featuring contestants attempting to match celebrities' answers.

Old school, original style General Mills cereal boxes are back. While trolling the aisles of my local grocery/big box store the distinctive box art caught my eye.

Target secured a month long exclusive on General Mills' retro box designs for its best selling cereals including: Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Kix, Cocoa Puffs and Trix.

General Mills also has some vintage T-shirts offered at Cereal Wear. I couldn't resist ordering two Trix and three Kix shirts and I'm tempted to go back for more.

It has been nine years since I have set foot into a movie theater. But this will all change next week when Fanboys comes out. I have too much geek cred to wait for a DVD release.

Mark Evanier has a great story about working with Ricardo Montalban.

On the other hand, I do have a personal anecdote about the fine actor, Ricardo Montalban, who has passed away at the age of 88.
