Willem Dafoe, Wild at Heart and Shadow of the Vampire

Robert Taylor (an Aussie, no less), Longmire Bo Derek, 10 Madeline Kahn, just about everything she appeared in, but my favorite was Trixie Delight in Paper Moon Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, Stir Crazy Everybody, Dr. Strangelove

Saw the original, just-released The Howling at a midnight show from the balcony of a small but packed theater with my wife and her big goofy cousin. When that dumbass mousy woman was rifling through a file cabinet in the office, and the baddest werewolf put his big paw on top of the cabinet, that place went into batshit panic mode. It was like the rotted severed head boat hole scene in Jaws. Instant, massive audience raction. My wife's cousin was yelling and pushing his feet into the guy in front of him, trying to back out of his chair but he couldn't move. He was still shaking some time later when we dropped him off at his mom's house. The next day we found out that when he, still spooked, came into the dark house, his head bumped his stepdad's mounted wild boar head, all tusks and black bristles. He proceeded to shriek like a little gir and ran all the way upstairs to his bedroom, bellowing like a maniac, waking up everyone in the house. Good times. And John Carradine as grampaw werewolf, no less. The black leather chick werewolf wasn't bad, either, until she started ripping out throats. Favorite line: "Silver bullets my ass." Second favorite: "I going to have to give you a piece of my mind."

Exchange rate is 1:1 in Michigan.

Landon to Carson on the Tonight Show: "No, John. None of the Cartwrights was gay. But we sure were glad Hop Sing was."

Spastic-Colon-in-Chief sez "I do not tolerate ANY extreme violence." And the important word in that sentence is: "extreme."

And the gargoyles they rode in on.

Will Trevor the ferret be there? If not, I'm out. -- "Have a good time all the time." Viv Savage, keyboardist, Spinal Tap

Man I love this series. And Jesus, what fantastic dialogue and what exquisite sounds. I feel as if I'm a little kid in my room back in 1956 with the windows up, trying to get to sleep but listening to my parents talking low late in the next room, a freight train rolling through town, sounding its eerie two tone horn for crossings. Fargo audio alone is a jewel. DVR the commercials away.

Wonder who Trump's agent is on his health care POA? If it's Kushner, invest in black armbands.

This entire 2020 COVID / Trump fubar fiasco shows anyone not huffing Trump Tangerine spray paint that he does not care about this nation and its citizens. He wouldn't even take the most basic basic protective measures to avoid what happened Friday to the executive branch of government.

Yes, he, the Enemy of Enlightenment, has COVID-19. Sic semper ignorantis.

Dennis Francione says, "Thanks for remembering."

Love the beautiful reminiscence but did he rent Best In Show or what? Christopher Guest should receive a special Oscar for his body of work. If for no other reason than writing "Did you fuck my wife?" into Waiting for Guffman. The casts - Magnifique!

Most Coenworthy, the measured pace, skilled actors we've never before seen, vibid images, attention to detail, dialogue of the era, sudden deadly force. I am intrigued at the line "your foot on our neck" and would love to know when it was written. The nighttime sound of a distant train sounding its horn for a crossing takes me straight back to the days of my youth. Others may throw you under that train, Noah, but I am with you.

Cave of the Yellow Dog (2005). Need to lower your BP by 20 or 30 top and bottom? Sit back and drink in this beautiful, simple tale, showing how for a family of young Mongolian nomads, life has changed very little in hundreds of years. And btw, the Chinese restaurant scene in Waiting for Guffman is one of the most spit-out-whatever-is-in-your-mouth funny scenes ever. Thank you, Christopher Guest and ensemble, for the whole yuckumentsry series. You hear that? "That whole thing."

And he fled the fucking interview, to boot. Somewhere a wood chipper is being cranked up.

Blood Simple (the Coen bros' first) it holds you from the opening scene The Castle (from Oz) memorably cantankerous and law actually working out fairly Muriel's Wedding (" ") edgy funny excellent cast hope for wallflowers Montenegro - just take it on faith; 1980ish Susan Anspach trippy sensual out there, well worth the watch. Meet me at Club Zanzibar!

Never was an actress's last name more appropriate. And best theme music since Goldfinger.

To you, sir, the Blue Max of Spot On Lyrical Arcana, with or without the tight wye-ah. I could actually hear the chords as I read your post - "Baybeh, you just tew bline ta - Bomp Bomp Bomp Bomp -- see." •--->>>xXXx<<<---•

DVRd Leon Russell '72-'74 semi existensial documentary on TCM. Leon is a music deity to me but Sweet Jesus why didn't they leave the feeding-a-small-chick-to-a-python scene on the cutting room floor? That graphic spectre was uncool forever. Other than that it was a nice watch on a veg out day.

And of those that register how many will actually fucking VOTE!?

The DNC / Biden-Harris campaign needs to bear down HARD on getting people out to register and vote who have blown it off in the past. I believe a substantial number of 2016 Trump voters were apathetic lifetime nonvoters who were somehow energized by the "As Seen on TV" candidate who talked trash like a Jerry Springer guest. These are the fuckers who swung the rust belt for the Enemy of Enlightenment. We must not let it happen again. Don't let up on him for one second.

I enjoy his films but not the sideshow into which he turned his life. Perhaps his neuroses were caused by living under the roller coaster at Coney Island. Or was it inside the screen at a drive in? His rejoinder about the quality of orgasms, though, is immortal. "Bad orgasm? How can you have a bad orgasm!? Every one I ever had was pretty much right on the money."

My uncle was one of those living skeletons the Marines found in Tokyo. His carrier based bomber was kamikazied out of the sky off Iwo Jima. He survived bailing out into the ocean only to be picked up by the enemy. He survived torture, beri beri, malnutrition. He saw the beheading of randomly selected fellow prisoners, American officers. He returned to Japan after the war to testify on behalf of guards who were kind to prisoners. He was one of the coolest, smartest people I ever knew. I had the honor of attending his inurnment at Arlington a few years ago. Donald Trump is not worthy of speaking his name.
