Johnson of St. Louis

I posted a link to this now-famous "Women in Film" montage earlier this month (around August 4th or 5th), and then the link went bad and then everyone ran the You Tube link which made me feel left out so here it is again....no harm in reacquainting.

The forward-step element is finally knowing that the auteur is some St.Louis guy named Phillip Scott Johnson (a.k.a. "eggman"), who describes himself on his My Space page as a "corporate nobody by day...artistic dreamer by night." I tried calling him but there are eight "Phillip Johnson" listings in St. Louis. Vanity Fair or someone should track this guy down and do a profile of him.

I'd like to at least speak with the guy and see if he's gotten any job offers (with some high-powered production company or ad agency, perhaps?) that might save him from "corporate nobody" status, or at least get him girls.

Hmmmm...what would I need to do to have Jeffrey Wells promote me so that I can get some girls and perhaps vault out of corporate nobody status? I will think on this. (That might sound tongue-in-cheek, but I assure you it is not.)

Jeff, have you tried contacting him through the various messaging options on his MySpace page?

I see he's tacked Halle Berry onto the end after criticism it was too white. The first one ended with Witherspoon.

I noticed that too, Josh. He also worked Angela Bassett into the middle somewhere--I don't think she was in it originally, right?

The first was lily white. Glad he changed it.

What exactly is so amazing about this? I mean it's interesting enough, but I don't think morphing a bunch of photos together is gonna get you a big ad agency gig.

But, hey, I'm sure it gets him tons of girls-- "Yeah, I put a video up on Youtube wherein I morph famous actress photos into each other. And yes, you CAN touch me."

Salma is new too, I believe.

Seeing this again, I think actresses are much more beautiful now than they were in the 70s and 80s.

I can only hope one Phillip Johnson is a well-regarded limo driver whose name doesn't Google.

Couple of new women of color - the first is Dorothy Dandridge, between Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine, then Angela, Salma and Halle. Cool additions.

Actually I thought the first one ended with Paltrow, unless I saw a different version. Bit unfair to remove her, or did I just miss her elsewhere?

I said it before when Jeffrey posted this the first time. This will end up being shown during the Academy Awards and it will bring down the house.

It's odd how, even among all that beauty, some of these women still stand out. I'm thinking specifically of Vivian Leigh's pixieish still from Gone with the Wind.

Oh, you're right Adaml. It was Paltrow. I remember being annoyed that it ended on somebody I didn't like, rather than someone I did (Witherspoon).

I've figured out why it's so mesmerizing.... he matches their corneas... whereas the faces change, the eyes match... he has them looking from side to side, up and down and so forth...

I'm not really that high right now... honest
