Pygar, RIP
John Phillip Law, the actor who played the well-tanned angel Pygar in one of the most absurd movies ever made, has died. Read the L.A. Times obituary.
Oh, and if you haven't seen Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy, you should. Have you ever wanted to see a sci-fi movie about the sexual adventures of a hot chick who travels the galaxy in a spaceship with brown shag carpet that actually covers the walls? I thought so.

I still think that Law's definitive role is as the titular character of the gentleman theif "Diabolik" in the film adaption of the Italian comic (released in the US as Danger: Diabolik. And it's not even mentioned in the LAT obit? Sheesh, US journalism is in the toilet and swirling...

Hey Len! Glad to see you're still out there. Hope things are well.
I'm definitely putting that film on my list. Thanks. I would never have found it otherwise...
