Calling all Errol fans on this blog! Every single one of you! Duty calls!

26 Sep

This is a follow up to the
tassie devil  post!
Here is the website to vote for a name – no – for THEEE NAME of this new hybrid tulip flower of Tasmania! What would be the most fitting name for this new hybrid bright red tulip of Tasmania!
Now blood is red – right! Therefore the name has to be none other then “Captain Blood”! 
Vote now! Would anybody disagree with this name?
www.vdqbulbs.com…
There are many reasons – think about it! Think hard! You maybe have even other vital points for this perfect fit!
I say: 1. Captain Blood

2. Blood is red – bright red as the
tulip!
3. Errol was Captain Blood!
4. Errol was a son of Tasmania where this new bright red tulip emerges as Errol did!
5. Errol was the Tasmanian Devil – ah devil – ah hell – red as fire we are told!
6. Errol was a red hot blooded man! Any dispute?
7. The Dutch explorer Abel Tasman was the first European to land on the shores of Tasmania and named it Anthoonij van Diemenslandt = Van Diemen's Land.
In 1803, the island was colonized by the British as a penal colony and named officially Van Diemen's Land. And what does a penal colony spells to you of those hard times experienced by so many and including none other than Errol's ancestors (maternal side) – BLOOD – sweat and tears!
8. What a coincidence – the nursery's name is Van Diemen! A first class fit! Wow!
9. Errol's number is 9 – the perfect number of success!  Captain Blood made him into an over night star and so will be the new bright red tulip of the Van Diemen Nursery if named “Captain Blood”!
“Captain Blood” is a natural for this tulip, a no miss affair, a seller of the highest caliber!
Join me in this vote – it's your duty if you are a true Errol fan!
A cheer to the Errol of the past, a cheer to Errol into the future and a cheer to Errol who will live on and on in a tulip flower called “Captain Blood”!
You know how much Errol loved nature, he could describe nature more vividly and better than any writer ever could!
This tulip would be his Oscar right from the land of his birth!
Join me and make it happen!

King Solomon's Mines

24 Sep

I just saw “King Solomon's Mines” on TCM and it is a great movie!
Throughout the movie I visualized Errol playing the part! He would have been great in it, as a matter of facts he would have been excellent!
How in heavens name could he have missed this great opportunity to a fabulous reenactment of himself? Who advised him? Exchanging “King Solomon's Mines” for “Kim” somebody sure was out for lunch! Was Errol that much his own enemy or fallacy? Where were his advisers – did he have any?
I read he didn't wanted to go to Africa. Errol always liked to go to new countries and at that time he never made a movie in Africa – so? He said he wanted to go to India, because he was never there, which is not quite true as he was in parts of India on his way from New Guinea to England. Was Errol that much his own enemy? I very often think of the old proverb “with friends like that who needs enemies” and I think Errol had a lot of friends like that. I always maintained that Errol was a most naive and gullible man, which brought him in a lot of hot waters because he trusted people who so often ill advised him, betrayed him or took him to the cleaners! Thinking of it one can only feel sorry and despair for him! I know it is past and gone, but nevertheless we are here to discuss him – the good and the not so good.
Anybody having any answers to that puzzle of Errol?  I hope the many of our members have something to say about this subject and voice their inside knowledge and opinions?

Did you know?

16 Sep

Did you know that Stars were forced to charge their fans a fee for their fan-mail-pictures? Errol and Olivia's Warner mailing card do not bear their real signature, see for yourselves! What ever the case – wow – this is sure news to me! Maybe to you too?
