Good & Plenty (http://youtube.com/watch?v=B-RvJjYSJNw) Commercial from the late 1960s

And to read about the aphrodisiac qualities of Good & Plenty, click here (http://www.revolutionhealth.com/healthy-living/relationships/sex-intimacy/bedroom-basics/aphrodisiacs)

"Humans do have a very well-endowed olfactory system and it's through this system that pheromones are likely processed," says Charles Wysocki, PhD, a neuroscientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. Your nose, he explains, "is an interstate highway to your brain, specifically the parts of the brain that regulate mood, emotions, and reproduction." That makes it, at least unofficially, a sex organ.

... Alan Hirsch, MD, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, found that many patients who had lost their sense of smell also lost interest in sex. That piqued his curiosity about the power of scents to boost desire.

To see what, if any, aromas could provoke a sexual response, he asked a group of 30 women to sit in a lab, attached to a device that measures vaginal blood flow, and sniff 30 different odors, ranging from licorice (a folkloric aphrodisiac) to cheese pizza ...

... the combined aromas of cucumber and Good & Plenty candy (which is licorice scented) and the scent of baby powder tied for first place (a 13% increase in vaginal blood flow). Pumpkin pie plus lavender followed, with an 11% increase.

From 1968, Jackie Gleason takes LSD in the Otto Preminger film, Skidoo. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=2jwd32yTxFY&mode=related&search=)

The Egyptian theater on Hollywood had a showing of this film last week along with Who Is Harry Nilsson? Unfortunately, it was not a double feature in the general sense of the word, in that we would have had to leave the theatre and pay a second time for Skidoo. We opted not too, though I had seen Skidoo before back in SF, along with an afterward by Preminger's son.

Cast
Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Cesar Romero, Frankie Avalon, Peter Lawford, Burgess Meredith, George Raft, Richard Kiel, Arnold Stang, Frank Gorshin, Mickey Rooney, Slim Pickens, Stacy King, newcomers John Phillip Law, Alexandra Hay, Donyale Luna and Austin Pendleton & Groucho Marx

Many were offered up, including, Mickey Dolenz, but in the end only the director was present. Still, the film was great. Definitely, worth seeing, though, as yet, the film does not have an American distributer.

Sugar Bear always seemed a more pleasant, laid back counter point to the frenetic activity of the Trix rabbit and the smarty-pants attitude of Toucan Sam, even though he always fought. By the time I grew out of my Saturday morning cartoon vigils, they had downgraded him from "out-fighting" to "out-smarting". I guess they wanted to restrict violence to the cartoons themselves...

Channel 4 promotes Kubrick Season (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jul/03/channel4.kubrick)


Channel 4 has painstakingly recreated the set of Stanley Kubrick horror film The Shining, complete with look-a-likes of the crew and cast members including Shelley Duvall, for a TV ad to promote a More 4 season of the director's films.

The 65-second promotional spot has been filmed as a one-take tracking shot through the recreation of The Shining set.

Viewers get Kubrick's point of view as he walks through the set, ending up in his director's chair as the crew prepare to shoot the famous scene of Danny Torrance, the son of Duvall and Jack Nicholson's characters, riding round and round the deserted corridors of the Overlook Hotel.

The promo, filmed as a single tracking shot with a cast of 55 actors, was meticulously researched to "remain as faithful as possible to the period in which it was shot and the culture of the British studio in the late 1970s".
