Michael Bell from 'War is Hell'

23/7:7/23 

and Oswald

Michael Bell
Michael Bell was in the movie War is Hell that was playing in the theater that Lee Havey Oswald was arrested in after allegedly killing JFK on November 22nd 1963.
Interestingly Bell starred in his first movie along side Rod Steiger in Across The  Bridge.
Steiger has been mathematically proven to be the actor who has out Baconed Kevin Bacon for the crown of "6 Dregrees of..." when it comes to starring alongside other actors.
He played 'the artist' in The Monkees TV show episode  
Art for Monkees' Sake.
Where thieves are trying to steal The Laughing Cavalier  from a gallery.
The Laughing Cavalier
Then Bell was in a Get Smart episode titled The Mild Ones -
"Max and 99 join a motorcycle gang to save a kidnapped Prime Minister".
Bell also scored the part of a bus driver in the movie Airport,
which I've already written a post on here-
Airport Connections?
as well as Rollercoaster, which I have written of here -

"For Whom the Bell Tolls"?

Bell broke into voicing animated characters around the time of this 
Jetsons episode called Elroy in Wonderland.
He also voiced Oompy in Little Nemo -
" A young boy whose dreams transcend reality is sucked into his his own fantasy, which is everything he has dreamed of until he unleashes a century old secret that may not only destroy this perfect dream world but reality itself. "
He voiced 'Owl' in the episode '
'Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 1: The Insidious Six ' 
of Spider-Man.
He also did some voice-work on the movie/game 
Enter the Matrix in 2003.
" Shortly after the Animatrix's "Final Flight Of The Osiris" short, Niobe 
(Jada Pinkett-Smith) and Ghost (Anthony Wong) must retrieve the package at a post office before the machines do. 
After succeeding, they call the rest of the Zion fleet to warn the Resistance about the machines digging for Zion. 
The game then runs a parallel story to Matrix Reloaded which explains what Niobe and Ghost were doing while the movie was focused on Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity. "
He was the Podcast Guest in the movie My Soul to Take.
" Wes Craven 
(A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes, Scream series
brings audiences his latest suspense thriller with My Soul to Take. 
In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. 
Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. 
Has the psychopath been reincarnated as one of the seven teens, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? 
Only one of the kids knows the answer.
Adam "Bug" Heller (Max Thieriot) was supposed to die on the bloody night his father went insane. 
Unaware of his dad's terrifying crimes, he has been plagued by nightmares since he was a baby. 
 But if Bug hopes to save his friends from the monster that's returned, he must face an evil that won't rest...until it finishes the job it began the day he was born. "
" In an attempt to promote the film, Rogue Pictures staged a fake stabbing at the movies premiere and posted it onto the popular video viewing site YouTube, which showed a man being "stabbed" in front of Wes Craven and the rest of the cast of the movie, using a plastic knife. 
The video was then later confirmed to be fake."
" This is the first film that Wes Craven has both written and directed since New Nightmare" 
My Soul to Take (2010) Trivia
"Get tangled up" was a catchphrase
 for this movie 
!?
 Michael Bell also did some voice work on Tangled an animated movie that was released on November 24th
 (ring any bells?-)
  1963 –  
Lee Harvey Oswald is murdered by Jack Ruby in the basement 
of Dallas police department headquarters. 
The shooting happens to be broadcast live on television.
 " After receiving the healing powers from a magical flower, the baby Princess Rapunzel is kidnapped from the palace in the middle of the night by Mother Gothel. 
Mother Gothel knows that the flower's magical powers are now growing within the golden hair of Rapunzel, and to stay young, she must lock Rapunzel in her hidden tower. 
Rapunzel is now a teenager and her hair has grown to a length of 70-feet. 
The beautiful Rapunzel has been in the tower her entire life, and she is curious of the outside world. 
One day, the bandit Flynn Ryder scales the tower and is taken captive by Rapunzel. 
Rapunzel strikes a deal with the charming thief to act as her guide to travel to the place where the floating lights come from that she has seen every year on her birthday. 
Rapunzel is about to have the most exciting and magnificent journey of her life."
" An average inch of hair weighs about 50 µg - a light estimate, as blonde hair tends to be lighter than other colors. 
Animators have said that Rapunzel's hair is approximately 70 feet (840 inches), and consists of about 100,000 strands. 
That yields 4,200,000,000 µg = 4,200,000 mg = 4,200 g = 4.2 kg (approx 10.4 lbs) of hair. 
We assume that its manageable weight in the movie is another innate magical property."

 The first day of Brumalia, celebrated until the winter solstice. (Roman empire)
 "Brumalia (Latin: Brumalia, [ˈbruː.maliə], "winter festivals") 
was an ancient Roman, winter solstice festival honouring 
Saturn/Cronus and Ceres/Demeter, and Bacchus in some cases. 
By the Byzantine era, celebrations commenced on 24 November and lasted for a month, until Saturnalia and the "Waxing of the Light". 
The festival included night-time feasting, drinking, and merriment. 
During this time, prophetic indications were taken as prospects for the remainder of the winter. The festival was celebrated as late as the 6th century, until emperor  
Justinian's repression of paganism
 Roman life, during classical antiquity, centred around the  
military, agriculture, and hunting. 
The short, cold days of winter would halt most forms of work. 
Brumalia was a festival celebrated during this dark, interludal period. 
It was chthonic in character and associated with crops
of which seeds are sown in the ground before sprouting.
Farmers would sacrifice pigs to Saturn and Ceres.  
Vine-growers would sacrifice goats in honor of  
Bacchus—for the goat is an enemy of the vine; 
and they would skin them, fill the skin-bags with air and jump on them. 
And, civic officials would bring offerings of firstfruits 
(including wine, olive oil, grain, and honey) to the priests of Ceres
Brumalia
"The character design of Flynn came from the process which was called the 'hot man meeting' by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, during which they set up a meeting with all of the female employees of the studio in one room and asked them for their opinions of what made a man good looking in order to create Flynn's character design with features such as eye color, hair color and style and body type. 
Video footage showed concept art and photos of various male celebrities, including Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, David Beckham and Gene Kelly on the walls of the room."
