Bill Bailey from 1955 -- Is the Moonwalk this old?

Videoclip of Bill Bailey from approximately 1955. A very talented dancer with great balance and control of his feet. I was pretty shocked to see the last few seconds! It raises an interesting question -- who really invented the moonwalk? This is a fascinating and educational bit of historical video footage. More vintage video of classic tap-dancing legends can be found at www.offjazz.com/tap-stars.htm

Freedom of Speech and H.R. 1955 pt. 1

www.brasschecktv.com http Though the authors of HR 1955 would likely deny that the bill could be used to crack down on free speech and legitimate political opposition, the talking heads on the main stream networks have made it very clear that they would like this kind of legislation to do just that. Can HR 1955 be used to silence the voices of dissent? Let's have a look.

About Fallout (1955)

Like many of these Cold War relics, this film is meant to reassure the viewer that the nuclear family is strong enough to survive a nuclear war, and that fallout isn't really that dangerous if you wait two weeks in your shelter before dealing with it. I wonder if these films did not serve a twofold purpose: to encourage the populace to remain calm in the face of what we now know to be a potentially far more dangerous situation, and to reassure us that our own use of nuclear weapons on a ...

The boys are taking Olive on a picnic. It's April 1, and Bluto plays a series of "jokes" on Popeye, though of course they go beyond the bounds of acceptability, particularly once they get to the picnic grounds; Bluto puts gasoline on the fire he asks Popeye to light and swaps a beehive for the lemonade. Bluto then launches a cruel joke against Olive and frames Popeye. The capper: he replaces Popeye's spinach with a joke can, and runs off with Olive for some canoeing. But Popeye gets the last ...

Good Will To Men (1955)

Hanna-Barbera remake of the classic by Harman-Ising, "Peace On Earth" (1939). Done in Cinemascope widescreen format, and updated with even more sophisticated methods of killing each other since 1939 (such as nukes). Very impressive animation for an HB film, and showed that they could have been in the same class as Disney Studios if they had only stuck with this level of quality. ***MY LITTLE RANT** YouTube has been deleting a lot of videos because of claims of "copyright infringement". I ask ...
