Dear fellow Flynn fans,
in the new book from Dan Brown “Origin” there is a cross reference to one of Flynn`s favourite paintings: Paul Gauguin`s “D’où venons nous ? Que sommes nous ? Où allons nous ?”.
Without giving away the cliffhanger storyline, the central theme circles around the essential human questions “Where do we come from?” and “Where are we going to?” and amazingly comes up with answers, Errol so desperately was looking for all his short and sensational life.
In a nuts-shell the universe is thriving for entropy- for expanding and exhausting its energy and we all serve faithfully as outlets. This path may well turn us into a technically enhanced species in the future.
Basically we start out as Errol Flynns and end up as Rick Deckards.
For more on the metaphors within the masterwork watch this: www.youtube.com…

Errol heading your way
18
Jul
Dear fellow Flynn fans,
I came across a rather curious item of Flynn memorabilia.
A bronze of Errol`s head is to be auctioned off at INVALUABLE:
www.invaluable.com…
It is however a very accurate replica of the facial features of the golden bad boy of Hollywood.
Makes me wonder if Flynn had it commissioned himself or if Sam Peckinpah was behind all this.
Furthermore who took up the assignment?
Heads up,

The Hearst heist
17
Jun
Dear fellow Flynn fans,
we were searching high and low, down and out all over the Lady from Shanghai for a fleeting Flynn: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…
Can it be we were denied another escapist Errol at William Randolph Hearst`s Circus Birthday Party?
The obscured fella in the back passing by the massive mogul`s table with Gable has an utmost resemblance with the fabulous Gentleman Jim.
Your educted guesses are very welcome.
The game is aflynn,

Mrs. William Tell is 90 and well
09
Jun
Dear fellow Flynn fans,
Austrian actress, Mrs. Waltraut Haas, Errol’s co- star of his unfinished appleshot “The Story of William Tell” turns 90 today.
She remembers Flynn fondly as charming not flirty, knowing his lines on cue and feasting on sardines, Rum and Coca Cola during their short cut stint in Courmayeur Italy: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…
She still is keeping busy appearing on stage at least once a year at the local Wachau summer theatre festival.
Starring opposite our Hollywood hero seems the equivalent of falling into a fountain of youth for his long-living leading ladies.
Some sort of caressing keelhauling if you will.
G’day and happy b’day,

Ex Errol Flynn makes for a mean king
12
May
Dear fellow Flynn fans,
I highly recommend you go and see “King Arthur”, a blockbuckler of epic porportions from Brit director Guy Ritchie.
If you filter the Lord of the Ring, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones- overtones, out comes a film Errol would have very much liked to make and could have thrived in. The acid tongue in cheek remarks make newcomer Charlie Hunnum talk treason constantly.
But the main Flynn film reference comes from the movie’s meanie Jude Law, who is no stranger to controversy himself, when a few years ago he put his kids’ nanny to bed.
A leading man in his own right, he gives a posh performance as the evil brother of Arthur’s father, starring Eric Bana, usurping the Auld King.
From Flynn to king that’s the law according to Jude.

Woodsie Morningstar
09
May
Dear fellow Flynn fans,
as of today the Blue Ray- edition of “Marjorie Morningstar” can be purchased. The ultra sharp resolution should enable us to spot Errol`s last love Beverly Aadland very quickly. And for those who are not so into little wood nymphs, there`s the enchanting beauty of Natalie Wood, the ethereal dancing of Gene Kelly and the eternal music of Max Steiner.
