THE FORGOTTEN FILMS OF SEAN FLYNN, SON OF ERROL FLYNN
06
Oct
Here is something I thought might be of interest to some of you. The magazine, “FilmFax” is featuring in its 128th issue (Summer/Fall 2011 issue) an article about the films of Errol's son, Sean who made a few films in Europe before becoming a war correspondent during the Viet Nam war and ending up MIA in Cambodia in 1970. While not as charismatic an actor as his father, Sean still had the Flynn flair. The article is written by yours truly. The magazine can be purchased in book stores such as: Barnes & Nobles, or purchased on-line at different websites or the magazine's own website: www.filmfax.com…. I hope you give the article a look and read, I think you might find it interesting. Thank you.–A. R.

Incident between Errol and Johnny Weissmuller?
26
Sep
In addition to being a big Flynn fan, I'm also a fan of Johnny Weissmuller. Now I know Errol and Johnny were, at the very least, “friendly acquaintances”…they were sometimes in the same social circles in Hollywood. Also, I know Johnny participated in the press junket for “Santa Fe Trail” with Errol.
So, has anyone here read the book “Tarzan, My Father” by Johnny Weissmuller, Jr.? In the book, there's an incident mentioned of a yacht race between Errol and Johnny Sr. in which Errol lost, and in his drunken state almost blew a hole in Johnny's yacht with a cannon ball!
Now I have not come across any mention of this incident anywhere else except in Weissmuller Jr.'s book, so I'm curious to know if anyone else here has heard of or come across a mention of that incident elsewhere.

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!
