Everything you need to know about Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

I just watched the original 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' today. It's curious that Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, the wolfman, and the mummy, have all been remade numerous times over the years; yet gill-man has not made a return to the big screen since the second sequel in 1956.

'How to Remove Label Glue From Glass Easily and Naturally'
Robin Shreeves - TreeHugger.com - May 13, 2020
I have an assortment of glass bottles and jars that I’ve been saving and buying up at yard sales over the past month so I can store my homemade limoncello. Some of the jars I’ve saved had labels affixed with glue that came right off; some had glue that was very stubborn.
Unsuccessful Methods of Removing Labels
I had one particular glass salad dressing bottle that would not give up its glue. I let it soak in hot water for a long time then rubbed with steel wool. Nothing. I tried an old bottle of Goo Gone that was ineffective. I even tried nail polish remover. That didn’t work either. Everything just smeared the glue around.
I wasn’t so happy with the chemical alternatives I was trying (and they weren’t even working), so I decided to do some research to find a natural, effective method. (Yes, I should have done that first. Sometimes, I try to take the easy way out.)
Creek Line House Method
After reading several suggestions on various blogs and discussion boards, I decided to try a method I found on The Creek Line House blog that called for baking soda, cooking oil, and an abrasive scrubbie. It worked!
The method is so simple.
1) Mix together equal amounts of baking soda and cooking oil – for one small jar, a tablespoon of each will be plenty.
2) Rub the mixture all over the sticky parts of the glass jar.
3) Leave it on for 30 minutes.
4) Rub with an abrasive scrubbie (I used steel wool)
5) Wash really well with soap and water
My bottle came out glue-free and ready to use to store limoncello. I’m not sure why this method worked, but I don’t need to know why. I just need to know it’s a non-chemical way to remove label glue from glass bottles. Next time I have a sticker stuck to the glass on a picture frame, I’ll try this method. That price tag sticker glue is always difficult to remove.
After getting my bottles ready, I went to bottle my limoncello and realized I didn’t have a funnel. I ran to the local grocery store, but the story didn't have one for sale. My plan is to hunt one down today and bottle the batch and have photos and instructions for that tomorrow on the blog.
Do you have a natural method for removing stubborn label glue from glass bottles?
************
Obviously people often use up the contents of a jar, but would like to retain it. Goo-Gone is toxic, and not something one would really want to then put in a dishwasher after using, much less using to store food items. I've tried the above method, and it works. I only used a mildly abrasive scrubber. All it took was just a little work, and the glue was completely gone.
*************************
I'm usually not into films that feature the "falsely accused," "self-righteous," "negligently besieged" "innocent man" themes. However, the 'Taken' films work for me. The violence, the anguish, the riveting fear, the quintessential action, and finally bringing the scumbags to their knees just kind've hits the spot here. It's sort've where typical Steven Seagal and Harrison Ford characters meet.

Bats: The ultimate "night creature" symbol
Whatever created bats seemed to go out've their way to design a creature to symbolize "the dark side." It flies, but not during the daytime; it has wings, but doesn't sour and doesn't have feathers. While we might feel a certain comfort when we see birds in the sunshine, their feathered tuxedos, and hear them chirping; we might be more likely to squirm when we see bats at dusk, their wings flapping along the treeline, and their dark cloaks black against the twilight sky. Actually, while they are indeed designed for night stealth, they're harmless to humans and pets 99.99% of the time. Along with birds and bees, they're one of the most important creatures on the planet. Over 300 species of fruit depend on bats for pollination, and that's just for starters. If all of the bats in the world perished tomorrow, life on earth would start to die off.
Yolo Causeway Bats
Thanks to the Yolo Basin Foundation for their terrific tour to the site where a quarter of a million bats fly out from underneath the Yolo Causeway west of Sacramento each night.

The True Meaning of Hotel California

"Hotel California is about the music industry
Hotel California is about drugs
Hotel California is about women
Hotel California is about Hell
Hotel California meant to be taken literally and the Eagles are still trapped there.
It's a negative Yelp review with a guitar duel"
-- KemonoGalleria Music ☮️💜
"This song has a very dark, very specific meaning & numerous secondary meanings. More specifically... this song is said to describe a person's 'deal' w the industry... selling your soul for fame & the understanding that once you join... the only way out is death. That's it in a nutshell. Hollywood death cult/ illuminati/ deal w the devil."
- TheShadyLady
"A satanist told me at least a decade ago it was about Anton Levay ? starting his 1st satanic church in North America but i personally choose to strive to stay on Right handed Path well away from 'occultic secret society's' left handed path 🙄 "
-- Mud Koerfgen
"I think it refers to when you go to Hollywood or become a music star you have to sell your soul to Satan. Luciferian ism. Once you’re in it’s hard to get out."
-- Lady of Neener
" 'They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast', is definitely a metaphor for heroin addiction. The steely knives are the hypodermic needles heroin addicts use to inject the drug into their system. No matter how many times they stab their arms with it, the craving just would not go away. The beast inside them only craves for more. It is never satisfied, it will never die."
-- Kalantro Taberna
"The wine represents the blood of Jesus. That’s why they mention it as a spirit. 1969 the satanic bible was made."
-- Josue Portillo

'Hotel California' (Genius.com)
One of the most mysterious and widely speculated songs in rock history, “Hotel California” is best described in the words of its creators. As Don Henley explained in the Daily Mail dated 9/11/2007:
"Some of the wilder interpretations of that song have been amazing. It was really about the excesses of American culture and certain girls we knew. But it was also about the uneasy balance between art and commerce."
Though the annotations to the left do their best to decipher Henley & co.’s words, it’s important to keep in mind a quote (and classic malapropism) from Eagles member Glenn Frey: “Vaguery is the primary tool of songwriters.”

'Hotel California'
[Verse 1: Don Henley]
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
[Chorus: Don Henley]
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here"
[Verse 2: Don Henley]
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
She calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
[Chorus: Don Henley]
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis"
[Verse 3: Don Henley]
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said: "We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave!"[Verse 2: Don Henley]

"someone should write a fiction book based on the discussion in this thread."

"The lyric is as follows – Her mind is Tiffany- twisted, She’s got the Mercedes-bendz, she got a lotta pretty pretty boys she calls friends! It is a reference to how the Eagles saw the Southern California ….Hollywood scence at the time when the song was recorded. All these girls showing up in Hollywood seeking to be discovered. Impressed with the fabulous weath and celebrity and wanting a piece of it for themselves. Essentially the Marilyn Monroe story. Her mind is Tiffany twisted ( she is perverted and corrupted by the fabulous weath…Tiffany’s in New York Ciry.) She got the Mercedes Bendz… ( she will bend over and do whatever is required to get her “ big shot at fame” She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends! The so called “friends” are not really her friends they are the men who control the Hollywood celebrity machine….Directors, Producers and so forth and she will sleep with whomever she has to get a shot at the big time fame machine and become a big star!"
-- rgee3
"👍 best song ever.."
-- ProghRess
"Its definitely talking about the pressures of being in this business. Its one of the greatest ballads of its time because it is open to interpretation and I believe the original authors did this for a reason. It is really deep. Actually one of my favorites and definitely a classic."
-- rhowle7615
"I think it’s a near death experience of drug overdose. Checking out is a reference to death. Masters chambers and feast is the last supper reference to final fix."

A preference for the night or darkness
************
I don't know that I could really ever say that I actually prefer the night to the day. It's a fun concept. The darkness of night has it's qualities. I can say that I have been at special places in the darkness, amid the heat and stillness, mountains and trees abound, with a light sound of crickets and occasional hoot of an owl, under a bright moon, and I didn't want to leave because "when would it ever be this perfect again?"

[Corvin Castle in Rumania: Featured on Windows 10 Spotlight this month]
Happy Halloween, boos and ghouls! We hope our vampire isn't too scary on this day designed for spooky delights. The fortress in our image is Romania's Corvin Castle—not far from Transylvania, a real historical region in Romania. In Bram Stoker's novel 'Dracula,' the ghoulish Count Dracula lives in a remote Transylvanian castle, cementing the place in popular imagination as the home of vampires.
Be careful out there tonight as you go haunting for treats. And if you want to protect yourself against potential vampire attacks, incorporate a garland of garlic in your costume. Or maybe go out while the sun is still up. According to vampire folklore, these blood-sucking creatures of the night can't stand garlic and will likely burst into flames if exposed to sunlight. Or you can just keep reminding yourself: There's no such thing as vampires…

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you

That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best
Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
Hope you enjoyed.

Most men have a part of them which would like to live with more danger and excitement, like a soldier of fortune, or like the stories of Conan the Barbarian. This was a wealthy guy who traveled to the third world and became something of a warlord. He had some guts! If you really think about it, sometimes in life puny people get to order us around because they have a title, a piece of paper, or state ordained authority. I think most males fantasize about some type of personal siege. Maybe this dude was just plain bored, and just went for it?

A few evenings ago on either TCM or AMC, I watched 'The Curse of Frankenstein', a Hammer film from the UK (1957). I had seen it before, but I wasn't sure as quite a few of those films sort've conflate in my mind. It was followed by two sequels, but I couldn't stay up all night. It featured as the femme fatal, a young comely Hazel Court. Somehow, someway, these films just gotta get the monster and the girl together!
