Secret cinema found beneath Paris

In September 2004, French police discovered a hidden chamber in the catacombs under Paris. It contained a full-sized movie screen, projection equipment, a bar, a pressure cooker for making couscous, a professionally installed electricity system, and at least three phone lines. Movies ranged from 1950s noir classics to recent thrillers.

When the police returned three days later, the phone and power lines had been cut and there was a note on the floor: “Do not try to find us.” (via)

The Guardian has a creepier side of the story.

“There were two swastikas painted on the ceiling, but also celtic crosses and several stars of David, so we don’t think it’s extremists. Some sect or secret society, maybe. There are any number of possibilities.”

The truth is, it’s probably a group of prowling hacker-artists.

“ Whereas reminiscing about the ’80s comes with the smugness of being less destructive than the ’70s and less naive than the ’90s, nostalgia for the ’90s comes with a very dark expiration date. The cultural force of the 1980s ended with grunge music and sex-driven sitcoms whereas the candy-colored optimism of the 1990s ended with war and widespread poverty.

“ I admit I’m nostalgic for the days of TV’s unbidden bizarreness, but I know each generation has its own thing. Indie theaters, cavernous book stores, random pamphlets, underground newspapers– They’re all sources of weird throughout the history of pop culture. One way or another, a kid needs to have that strange fruit to fuel creativity and open-mindedness.

ions-anions-and-cations: I love this picture. William Claxton Halima & Chet Baker, Redondo Beach, 1955 20 x 16 Silver Gelatin Photograph, Ed. 3 Used to idolize Chet in college, back when I used to play. Even transcribed a couple of his solos. Despite everything I’ve learned about Chet since then… well, I still kinda idolize him.
