a very unusual log cabin
The cabin in the Spruce Goose, an enormous wooden flying boat
a one word message that is even more relevant today.
From Howard’s mom to deep in Howard’s heart: “QUARANTINE”.
It’s not a biker gang
Hell’s Angels, his ambitious early film
calipers
Ian Holm whipped them out when he was drafted to be Boob Inspector
an uncomfortable restroom experience
Washing hands until they bleed, doorknobs are icky
a Beverly Hills mishap
Nearly dying in a plane crash and plowing through some expensive homes in the process
the main character is quite American (and the title of the movie is one of his professions, or should I say one of his passions.)
He claims he’s Howard Hughes, the aviator, and why not?
