RE: Meme Scholar with Madness (PhD) - EndtheMadnessNow - 12-29-2025 A two-page spread titled “The Christmas Coach” appeared in The Saturday Evening Post on December 28, 1935. The caption reads: “Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; and transport the sailor and the traveler, thousands of miles away, back to his own fireside, his quiet home!” ![]() Rockwell once described painting the piece: “This was painted for The Saturday Evening Post in California during a very hot August. The heat in the studio was terrific. Perhaps you can see that the faces are shiny: that is perspiration. I especially remember the stagecoach driver wrapped in those heavy clothes, with sweat running down his face and off his nose … The wonderful part of working near Hollywood is that you can find everything. A place outside the city has every type of historic vehicle, including perfect English coaches … This painting now hangs in the clubhouse of the Society of Illustrators, New York.” Dec 28, 1953: Swedish 'Best Seller' Give Grim Truths on Atomic War Titled "If War Comes..." signed by the King and a copy delivered to every family in the country.

Rerun in 1959 as Tomorrow the Moon. The show takes a look at how scientists are preparing for a flight to the moon, beginning with a live-action segment & then going into animation as the rocket ship takes off to film the backside of the moon. Dr. Wernher von Braun worked as a technical adviser & appeared in the film. ![]() Disneyland - Man and the Moon (1955) THE LAST WAR (Sekai daisensô) director Shue Matsubayashi; press release from TOHO & newspaper ad from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin from December 28, 1961. Based on newspaper archive searches alone, it looks like this film's first and only U.S. theatrical release was in Honolulu, Hawaii in January 3, 1962. It was not shown in mainland USA until January 1967 despite there was an international trailer being aired in 1961. First released in Japan on Oct 8, 1961 and is signficantly longer at 110 minutes vs the hacked up American version at 79 minutes. ![]() In the longer Japanese version of the missile base short-circuit sequence, just before the commanding officer presses the missile activation button, he says in an anguished voice, “God, please forgive me.” It is a powerful moment, and it is unfortunate that the American distributor deleted it. Over these scenes, instead of dialogue, we hear the Disney song “It’s a Small World.” Next, we hear a portion of a speech by President John F. Kennedy in which he says, “Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.” Requiescat in pace Bridgette Bardot, who passed away today at 91.

She then founded the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in 1986, which runs refuges, rescues animals globally, and fights for anti-cruelty laws, crediting her with protections in dozens of countries. Her later years sparked controversy over statements on immigration and Islam, leading to five court convictions for inciting racial hatred, while admirers praised her as a patriot and French President Macron hailed her as a symbol of freedom.

RE: Meme Scholar with Madness (PhD) - EndtheMadnessNow - 12-30-2025 Here’s to the new year, even if it appears somewhat terrifying. ![]() — Saturday Evening Post, December 29, 1928. Dec 29, 1951: 74 years on..."No One Yet Designated To Investigate Fraud In Government"... ![]() Dec 29, 1951: Preview Set Jan 6 For 'Alert America' Civil Defense Show - 'The 'Alert America' campaign is an educational endeavor which should not be ignored or neglected." Be sure to purchase your "Dog tags!" ![]() 1965: in Webb County Texas they grow cactus and kids. According to this 1965 DOD & Office of Civil Defense film THE PROTECTED SCHOOL, United High School near Laredo, TX was the first school in the nation to not only build its classrooms underground, but also design the school with a protective shield for the lower level so that in the event of nuclear fallout, the school could be locked down to serve as a shelter for the community. It was also equipped with decontamination showers. The Quiet Earth (1985) - New Zealand director Geoff Murphy's (1938-2018) dystopian apocalypse cult classic sci-fi film about a scientist who awakens to find himself alone in the world. John Hobson, a geneticist involved in a project concerned with manipulating DNA, awakes in his hotel room in Thames, New Zealand, after a nightmare of falling from a great height. His wristwatch has stopped at 6:12. All humans and animals have disappeared. No watch or clock shows anything later than 6:12. In a desperate attempt to search for others, he finds only two who have their own agenda. "The Effect" referred to in the film is defined as being a distortion of the space-time fabric. "The Quiet Earth" is actually based on the experience of an American tourist in New Zealand in the 1970s. New Zealanders always take the weekends off and sleep late. The tourist arrived in the center of Auckland on a Sunday morning and found it completely deserted. He later said he felt like the last man on Earth. Zac enters his laboratory outside Auckland, but fails to contact any of the other labs around the world. In an underground lab, he discovers the dead body of Perrin, his superior, at the primary Flashlight Grid control panel; a monitor displays the message "Operation Flashlight Complete". The mass disappearance seems to coincide with the moment Flashlight was activated. Zac Hobson (Bruno Lawrence) calls the energy grid, "Project Flashlight". Ironically enough, there was an American defense project called "Operation Flashlight" around the same time as depicted in the film. The time that all clocks stopped due to 'The Effect' was 6:12 in the morning. This 6:12 is a reference in the Bible's Book of Revelations" "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;" The movie opens with the rise of the sun above the sea, and ends with the rise of a ringed planet (presumably Saturn) above the sea. One of those Sci-fi lucid nightmare films that may stay with you for a long time. ![]() First science-fiction film produced in New Zealand. Due to Pete Smith's Maori accent, the American VHS release of the film, as well as the DVD version, dub the lines of Api with an uncredited actor using a much deeper and stronger voice. Based on the 1981 novel of same name by Craig Harrison, this Kiwi sci-fi film was nominated for eight New Zealand Film and TV Awards and ended up winning in all eight categories. It's on the list of "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die". Amusing chart depicting the bombing campaign in Somalia, from New America (Washington think-tank).
