THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU (1969) ** Rocky & Bullwinkle-like non-animated cartoon of Europe at the time of World War I...or is it? Perhaps it's actually an allegory that can only truly be understood by the esoterically initiated. Yes, yes, I bet that's it. Oliver Reed in the lead not only rhymes but immediately invokes considerations of drinking...and in vino veritas...therefore they're saying that this stuff is true. The international assassination tribunal that has no ethics and works out of a bank and controls the media can be none other than the Elders of Zion. Except that they sit at a round table, so they must be goy. Round elders...rounders, the British inspiration for baseball. One-time virgin Diana Rigg is concerned that someone might have got run over in Venice, someone other than Telly Savalas, so obviously she's not concerned about him...and also a blimp is invented at the end to drop a bomb on the castle, and this was made in '68, the year that you know what esoteric band was formed...and recorded in Olympic studios. The bomb never falls on the castle in which Rigg is dressed like a nun, so....baseball players couldn't play in the Olympics and aren't bald because chicks don't dig it, BUT Led Zeppelin released truths that made many reassess the efficacy of celibacy. Shit, we already knew all that, didn't we? Next!
