The final update for now. 7/12 11:55pm

My father has been found and my family and I are making funeral arrangements.

At the families request, we ask at this time to please do not call any of the family's cell phone numbers or home numbers.

The LAPD has been amazing in all of this that words can not describe.

I personally along with my family want to thank everyone who posted, tiwittered, gave information, spread the word, along with all the coverage in the Media.

You may pass this info along.

Any future details will be posted at this blog.

LES YEUX SANS VISAGE in 4 minutes

LES YEUX SANS VISAGE (a.k.a. EYES WITHOUT A FACE)
Director: Georges Franju
Cast: Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli, Edith Scob, Juliette Mayniel

Video edited by CFJ

Plot: A brilliant surgeon, Dr. Genessier (Brasseur), helped by his assistant Louise (Valli), kidnaps nice young women. He removes their faces and tries to graft them onto his beloved daughter Christiane (Scob), whose face has been entirely spoiled in a car crash. All the experiments fail, and the victims die, but Genessier keeps trying, while Christiane comes up against a dilemma....


I don't mention the name of the song and the band for a certain reason. The song strangely reminded me of this sad and beautiful film and made me make this video. Some people may consider it a weird horror movie, but actually it has a certain poetic feel to it, which fascinates me a lot. The original soundtrack of the film was by Maurice Jarre, btw.

Edith Scob, heroine with a mask, is not a leading actress of the film (which is credited to Alida Valli, who "hunts" girls for the operation) because her face does not appear throughout almost the entire film. But this miracle masterpiece would never have been carried out without Scob's astonishing features like glasswork.

Fred Astaire + Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal [short film]

FRED ASTAIRE in SMOOTH CRIMINAL
Starring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Leslie Caron
Choreographed by Michael Kidd
'Smooth Criminal' by Michael Jackson
Video edited by CFJ

I love both Astaire and Michael Jackson. I want young people to know Astaire stuff, that is why I made this. The video features scenes from the Girl Hunt ballet in The Band Wagon (1953) starring Astaire and Cyd Charisse (those supreme legs!! The most perfect body a woman could have. So sensual, so elegant), to which MJ gave homage in his Smooth Criminal vid (also in a performance of Get Happy on the Jacksons show in the 70s as well as You Rock My World in 2001), and, as an intro, a sequence from Daddy Long Legs (1955) featuring Leslie Caron (in motion pictures, you mustn't put a coin into a jukebox in an ordinary way!).

My initial idea was using also Yolanda And The Thief (1945) where Astaire appeared with the same costume, a white suit, hat and a blue shirt, but I eventually omitted it.

Michael Kidd worked with Janet in the Alright vid in 1990, featuring Cyd Charisse (in the red dress!), the Nicholas Brothers and Cab Calloway.

If you want to see Astaire at the top of his game, watch his 30s and early 40s films.
