FSogol's JournalPrepare to have your mind blown: Jodorowsky’s Dune
A documentary about Alejandro Jodorowsky's unfilmed version of Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic premired at Cannes last year and will be released in the US this March. Was to star David Carradine, Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali (as the mad Emperor of the Galaxy), and Orson Wells. Set design by an unknown H.R. Giger.
Saw "The Momuments Men" today. Good film, highly recommend.
Had Jean Dujardin (The Artist) in it, as well as George Clooney, Bill Murry, John Goodman. Enjoyed it.
To DU: Thanks for the hearts
Much appreciated.
Keep up the good work DU and GOTV in 2014.
A valentine for our times.

Tybee Bomb is lost by the US Air Force, February 5, 1958
"A 7,600-pound Mark 15 hydrogen bomb was lost in the waters off Tybee Island near Savannah, GA, on February 5, 1958, by the US Air Force. (See photo to right of a similar Mark 15 bomb)
The Air Force had been running practice exercises at about 2 AM that morning when the B-47 bomber carrying the bomb collided in midair with an F-86 fighter plane.
The F-86 pilot ejected before the collision but the B-47 remained airborne. Struggling, the pilot requested permission to jettison the bomb to reduce weight and prevent the bomb from exploding during an emergency landing.
Permission was granted and the bomb was jettisoned at 7,200 feet while the bomber was traveling about 200 knots. When the bomb struck the sea, no explosion was seen. The B-47 safely landed at the nearby Hunter Air Force Base."
