I was watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and it made me sad, so I drew this and it made me happy.

Marilyn was a big supporter of the Civil Rights Movement. Ella Fitzgerald was one of Marilyn’s idols and a major inspiration. However, the Mocambo nightclub in West Hollywood, the most popular dance spot at the time, refused to let Ella perform there because she was black. Outraged, Marilyn told the owners that if they would let Ella perform, she would be there in the front row every time Ella was onstage. She did, and the two became friends.
According to the great Ella Fitzgerald:
“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt…it was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the ’50s. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him - and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status - that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”

Wow. What a great shot.
BBC News - Lars von Trier wins best movie at European film awards
Oh, Lars. Always a strange character. I only recently watched The Kingdom/Riget which is still standard Von Trier affair with the exception that Lars pops up at the end of each episode to both taunt the viewer about what they’ve seen and hint at what’s to come. It’s bizarre but appealing at the same time.
With regards to the other awards, I am thrilled that Tilda Swinton got the best actress award. I already feel resentful of Meryl Streep preventing her from getting the Oscar next year.
