I win.
Anyway. I did rush this a bit to get the early (for me) post. Thanks to all of those who gave me such great feedback last week; the shadows aren't my best, but they are there. I used this definition for 'Rejection':
"an immune response in which foreign tissue (as of a skin graft or transplanted organ) is attacked by immune system components of the recipient organism".
So, here's rejection:
A no-prize to whomever can name the movie this references (though, remember, you'll be showing your age and/or geekiness by answering correctly). Speaking of no-prizes. The answer to last week's no-prize question was "Sebastian Stark" as played by James Woods in the TV show 'Shark'. The key to the answer was the fact that I said 'attempting to portray" and not "what he looks like".
What I'm listening to while posting: "Man, It's So Loud In Here" by They Might Be Giants off of 'Mink Car'. ( I like this song and like TMBG, but I didn't buy this album because it came with a giant sticker that read '
"featuring 'yeah, yeah, yeah!' from the Chrysler commercial!" and a Chrysler logo)
Who wants to win a no-prize? ;-)
ReplyDeletemuch better.
ReplyDeletei think this movie is called The Man with Two Heads or The Thing with two heads, or something like that. it starred Rosie (or possibly Rosey) Greer and i think Ray Miland. i'm pretty sure it was a Roger Corman movie.
yes, i am an old nerd :D
Demosthenes wins the no-prize!
ReplyDeleteHe also gets extra credit for knowing the stars' names.
The movie was actually directed by Lee Roth. A man who seems to have directed under many, many aliases.

this has a monty python feel which is cool, :) , but the illo doesnt readily, read 'rejection' to me....clearly>>(the way your words describe it). This might be because I'm unfamiliar with the movie..Or maybe if it were part of a panel, setting this scene up? . or: If you had a headless body walking away... I'd feel the head was rejected..Or if the watching figure was positioned differently.... Right now it could be the *hand* on the adams family... just a head...
ReplyDeleteI was intentionally obscure with this one. Perhaps, not such a good idea?
ReplyDeleteThe synopsis for the film will (hopefully) give the illustration some sense:
Dr. Maxwell Kirshner (Ray Milland), a dying, wealthy racist surgeon invents a way for living, human heads to be transplanted onto healthy bodies. As his health rapidly deteriorates, there remains only one alternative: graft Kirshner's onto the body of a black death row inmate, Jack Moss, played by Rosie Grier.
I think, it's good, that it was the white head he lost!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a comic I'd like to read, the continuing adventure of the thing with two heads. Great illustration brought back memories of Cracked, of all things.
