Hey there, here's my 6th and final entry for the CCC
I really liked the videogame category, but I don't really play a lot of games. At some point I saw the game Rayman Legends and it looked quite interesting, so I did a bit of research and started on this build. I never played the game myself, but if my small research was good enough, the build I made is based on the level called 'castle in the clouds'.
It was a pretty rushed build, but for only a few hours of building, I think it turned out pretty good...
I hope you enjoy this entry, and I would like to hear your opinion!

A host of Legend People stand petrified, until time wears them down and quarries them away. It seemed very easy to find oneself getting too close to the edge of these vistas while searching for an exciting vantage point, all the while exhorting the children to "stay back." And, it turns out, the surface can be rather slippery.
The Vision is surprisingly difficult to find in his original classic costume in Legends 1:12. I don't mean that you can't readily find him in an eBay search. Rather, over the years, Legends has provided us with multiple Visions in both the MCU and WandaVision designs, and even the white version from West Coast Avengers. But for the classic original comic version? Only the 2004 Toy Biz and, pictured here, the 2024 Hasbro.
The first classic Vision in 20 years.
The 2004 Toy Biz is fine but we were holding out for a modern Hasbro as the figure aesthetic is more pleasing. And, they finally released him!
This also puts us halfway to completing The Void BAF from this wave. We don't know much about the Void so building that character is not a strong pull, but since two of the remaining figures are Justice and Namorita from The New Warriors, both of which we like, if we eventually get them that will leave us only one shy of completing the build, which usually prompts us to buy. Even if the last figure is an absolutely horrid version of Namor.
Though we would have preferred Hasbro to use one of their slimmer bucks as the Vision was not usually drawn this bulky, this is still a very satisfying end to a rather long wait.
We also saw that there are independent offerings of yellow wired capes for him, so that's tempting as well. Vision was always drawn with super dramatic cape action, à la Batman, Doc Doom, etc.

Almost solely responsible for displaying the ample charms of a real grown-up woman without raiding Dad's blue movie video stash in the middle of the night while I was in high school during the mid 1980s. Real name Cassandra Peterson, she was already in comedy clubs learning the trade and a bit part actress putting her already fine figure to good use in walk-on parts as showgirls or topless dancers. Her big break came in 1981 when she was offered the part as host and the tv studio's first female host of the old late night tv show "Fright Night" to replace legendary host Larry Vincent that had passed away in the mid 1970s and wanted to revive the show for a new generation of horror fans. Cassandra won the role and as part of her image, she decided to rework the look of "Vampira" made famous by iconic tv star and beauty "Maila Nurmi" back in the 1950s on "The Vampira Show". After a unsuccessful lawsuit by Nurmi to stop her creation being used, Cassandra pushed on and paid homage to the vampy skintight black dress and gothic look but with a very 1980s twist - meaning plenty of exposed heavenly chest and wonderful long legs. With a plunging low-cut cleavage bursting thru, adding a flippant sarcastic tone that resembles the popular "Southern Californian Valley Girl" way of speaking that invaded US teen comedies in the early 1980s and a never-ending barrage of risque double entendres mocking herself of her undoubted beauty and anyone else silly enough to cross her path in either hitting on her or running her outta town, and an 1980s comedy legend was born. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark first appeared on camera in 1982 and became one of the most talked about small time celebrities of late night tv with whoever dared stop up to the the middle of the night to watch any chance of Elvira. Her high spirited good nature, campy humour and potent sex appeal saw her popularity soar and with it a very lucrative brand emerged that has seen Cassandra play Elvira for over 40 years and just this year last month Sept 2021 saw Elvira on the tv screens again for her late night "40th Anniversary Very Scary Special" for 6 hours. Most may have missed that "Special" but most will have seen her most famous of works, her big screen movie debut of "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" (1988). This comedy horror film is most definitely underrated and is a B-movie classic that deserves to be re-watched for Halloween. Cassandra is now 70 years old (as of 2021) and still looks sexy away from her famous alter-ego signing photos and meeting fans at comic-con conventions. Elvira will be with us for as long as gorgeous Cassandra can still slip her beautiful figure in those skintight black gowns for more campy scary fun.

Sally was much more than just being Burt Reynolds main squeeze in the mid 1970s and early 1980s, although I gotta say, Burt had tremendous taste in women. Very easy to see why men fawned over her at the height of her beauty and acting powers. Women admired her feistiness and independence that was commonplace during the 1970s with the equality acts going on in the workplace, she typified that go-getter in a lot of her early roles. A far cry from where she started during the mid 1960s as a cute teenage poppet in the popular tv show "Gidget" (1965-66) all beach, surf and high jinks. Perhaps her most famous and beloved role was that of "Carrie" the runaway bride-to-be who ends up jumping into Bandit's iconic Trans-Am in the legendary chase comedy "Smoky and the Bandit" (1977) and it's sequel three years later. When Bandit says to Carrie sitting in the passenger seat looking full of anxiety "you look like a cute little frog", he wasn't wrong, only pretty sure he was calling her much more potent things offset. Sally Field had one of the most photogenic, effervescent, beautiful faces of the whole 1970s and into the 1980s. With her gorgeous wide smile, beautiful hazel green eyes, stunning long brunette hair and lovely petite curvy figure, she was more than a much in the beauty stakes against the likes of Farah Fawcett, Bo Derek and Brooke Shields around at the same time in tv and modelling. Sally is a double Oscar winner with "Norma Rae" (1979) and "Places in the Heart" (1984), and a constant mainstay on screen for over 6 decades, and still looking glamourous. She done it all, hit tv shows, blockbuster films, classic comedies and political dramas, worked with the best, acting alongside some legends of yesteryear and been directed by the greatest in the business. *Above photo of sexy Sally in the late 1970s and why I fell for that cute little frog all those decades ago.

I used to see one of these around 1995/96, otherwise they always seemed to suffer the fate of most big Japanese cars and sell poorly here.
The Legend didn't seem to benefit from any association with the Rover 800.

Happy birthday Aftab bahi. Yes, everything is temporary, like that drop clinging to the last bit of adhesive force. But as long as you trek through your amazing journey, know that you are respected and loved. I wish for sunshine for your days ahead, for you've been the source of light and inspiration for so many :)
P.S. I am clearly one of the last few people to wish you, but blame it on my time zone :P I am still technically "in time"!
A band named "Legend" jamming for tips at the Colorado Springs Flea Market. They played country, country rock, rock, & R&B. Unusually, all 3 members sang lead on different songs (and quite well too.) A really good band.
The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who knelt daily beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus.
But this was not how the author of the book ended the story.
He said that when Narcissus died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.
‘Why do you weep?’ the goddesses asked.
‘I weep for Narcissus,” the lake replied.
‘Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus,’ they said, ‘for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand.’
‘But… was Narcissus beautiful?’ the lake asked.
‘Who better than you to know that?’ the goddesses asked in wonder. ‘After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself!’
The lake was silent for some time. Finally, it said:
‘I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.’
~ Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
While looking at those reflections, this story came to mind. So thought of framing that moment as it was. A photograph is not only a scene that you see through a camera- sometimes it could be something that touched your heart or a thought. Every photo has a moment and a story too.

This divine beauty, an often forgotten stage and screen actress of the Hollywood Pre Code Era would set the template of the wild bed hopping temptress and actress long before future generations of actresses like Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner would ultimately turn it into an artform. Tallulah would take advantage of the early years of silent Hollywood cinema, before the invention of the infamous Pre Code Laws on decent morals, and the gossip rag mags of the time that seemed more in favour of printing outrageous stories of these early movie stars than what the next big film on the horizon was. Tallulah would indeed create the mould as the sex mad actress and break it in half over her delicate little knee as she would be a one-off in this type of Hollywood actress behaviour that not only talked the talk but absolutely walked the walk in not shying away from the rumours, the gossip and pillow talk from people that knew her and indeed had relationships with her. This would be men and women that would find themselves under the spell of this incredible "live for the moment" woman. Stories of Tallulah at the height of her powers on screen as well as in the bedroom has become part of the fabled Hollywood folklore so long ago that much of the film industry whether it chooses to admit it or not, it owes a great deal to this legendary actress that helped create the lingering lustre and dreams of many young hopefuls and starlets heading West to California to follow the footsteps of Tallulah's early meteoric success, fame and fortune. The hedonistic lifestyle behind the scenes in private was just par of the course for many of these old screen stars like that would gain legendary notorious lifestyle reputations like Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford and John Barrymore. Tallulah's destructive fast and loose lifestyle is perhaps remembered more today because she was a glamourous woman from the most privileged of family backgrounds. Her longing for shock and awe in the public eye was only matched and maybe surpassed by fellow screen idols of her day like John Barrymore, John Gilbert and Errol Flynn who would all drink themselves to death and die before her time was up in similar circumstances. Love affairs or just plain old one night hook-ups, Tallulah has been linked with include legends like Greta Garbo, Gary Cooper, Hattie McDaniel, Marlene Dietrich, James Stewart, Billie Holiday, George Raft and a long standing love affair with famed writer Mercedes de Acosta that's become the most famous one of all her known lovers. Known and remembered for her witty or scathing comments, being an unashamed extrovert and a lovely habit of stripping off naked at many of her infamous private house parties either shocking her guests or just lighting the blue touch paper ensuring a great night of revelry ahead. But this is a film blog and seems an eternity since I discussed her film career. It was a very good film career starting off in the vintage silent films of the 1910s when she was still a teenager, of course most of these vintage short films are classed as lost footage today. Getting film exposure in Great Britain from 1922 to the early 1930s raised her profile big enough for her return to the US in 1931 and being cast in a series of major films directed by great directors and starring opposite future screen greats like Charles Laughton, Cary Grant and Gary Cooper, later admitting in 1932 that she only took on the film part with Gary Cooper because she had designs on getting Gary into bed - she did not fail on that prospect. Such was Tallulah's wayward abandon to sex, she ended up in hospital in 1933 fighting for her life after contracting "gonorrhoea" and needing an emergency "hysterectomy" life saving operation which she would lay the blame at the feet of either Gary Cooper or George Raft, themselves having a very loose attitude to sex with countless different women. Tallulah however remained defiant in carrying on with her own sex vices telling her doctor "don't think this has taught me a lesson!", She still starred in great films after this time despite being underweight with her fast lifestyle threatening to catch her up, "The Little Foxes" (1939) being one of the best films of the decade. In my opinion Tallulah's best known film to today's audiences is the classic WW2 survival film "Lifeboat" in 1944 directed by master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock where she was cast as lead actress amongst a cast of just nine players stuck adrift on a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean after having their ship sunk by a German U-boat. A gripping thriller and Tallulah was fantastic in her role as a chatty columnist. This role would earn her the New York Film Critics award for Best Actress, amongst many Film Critic awards she was nominated and won over her career, four in total. Surprisingly though she was never nominated for an Oscar for any of her great performances. Tallulah was only married once for four years (1937-1941) before filing for divorce. She also had no children before that emergency hysterectomy operation in 1933. Her family background is one of vast wealth and privilege, a political family with grandfather and uncle as U.S senators and her father William Bankhead was Speaker of the House of Representatives. But they were also very racist with deep support for white supremacy and racial segregation in their state of Alabama. This was all at odds with Tallulah's liberal progressive ideals she instead supported like the Civil Rights Movement and other such causes that often saw her clash with her family. Knowing this about Tallulah just summed her up and how she lived her life, full of conviction, full hearts and eyes wide open regardless the fallout. Definitely a quality I admire in someone. In the 1950s her film career was slowing up although her hedonistic lifestyle showed no signs of following suit. Since the early 1930s with fame and fortune at her feet she'd indulge in all the vices afforded to her, a heavy smoker at a reported 120 cigarettes a day consumed, a heavy drinker and an addict to sleeping pills to calm her racing mind. Like all great Greek tragedies, Tallulah was on borrowed time at the start of the 1960s and now in her late 50s. Frail, weak and thin, unlike other great stars of her day like "Greta Garbo" and "Rita Hayworth" who would become recluses and go into permanent hiding after their incredible early screen beauty waned off and steady age of time set in, Tallulah would continue to be seen at public events that would in itself start the gossip hounds with talk of her ill health. Her last ever screen role was in none other than the popular comic tv show "Batman" (1966) in a two episode parter from Season 2 in 1967. Tallulah would play the villain "Black Widow" with relish and delight, vamping it up as the grand dame diva of Old Hollywood getting Batman and Robin in all sorts of trouble. Ironically one of these episodes starred Tallulah's old lover and fellow screen legend and womanizer "George Raft" as a uncredited guest appearance in a bank that "Black Widow" was robbing. Pretty sure there was a few stories that they shared onset during filming. Once filming was complete, the world would never see Tallulah on screen ever again, she looked terribly thin and unwell at this point. None of us can escape the ravages of Old Father Time, for some though it comes much sooner and I get the impression that suited Tallulah just fine. These cases are often described as the "longest suicide" cases when you see someone so full of abandonment for their own life when seemingly they have everything one could only dream of having - the tragic actor Montgomery Clift is one such actor that fits the bill of this sad decline. Tallulah now taking mixtures of dangerous cocktails of sedatives to aid her sleep was now commonplace in the 1960s, to such a point that she would instruct her maid to tape her down in bed at night to prevent her from getting up to swallow more pills. She's quoted back in 1954 talking to Tennessee Williams (no stranger himself to self harm) confessing "I'm 54, and I wish always, always for death. I've always wanted death". "Nothing else do I want more". Well on December 12th 1968, Death came to collect Tallulah from this earthly plane and the Lord would take her home to everlasting peace. She was 66 when she passed away from double pneumonia, emphysema due to excessive smoking and basic malnutrition. Her last two words she uttered from her last breath of life was a request for "codeine...bourbon". Remarkable and defiant to the end. An adult life and career lived in full-on debauchery for all to see, many would see her wander about stark naked, A great stage actress and silver screen star. She lived life at 100mph, could drink down a bottle of bourbon in less than 30 minutes and could get into the pants of any man, or woman she set her sights on even faster. The woman that coined the famous line "Dahling" with her sexy husky voice is gone, but her legend lives on forevermore as a somewhat cautionary tale of unlimited control and to know where to draw the line in the sand. Beyond doubt though, she was one of the greatest stars and sex sirens of the early half of the 20th century. *Above photo of gorgeous Tallulah in the early 1930s.
