Always a kick to see the "West Side Story" Sharks who ended up on Twin Peaks. If only Natalie Wood have lived to play Laura Palmer's Mom. |
Ah, "Officer Krupke." I'm depraved on account of I'm deprived. They were laughing at conventional wisdom 45 years ago. |
West Side Story is on, in HD. Man, what a score - and the dames! Ay yi yi. "America" is as much about men vs. women as assimilation vs. not |
Hah: Dad called to tell me the Fargo Forum's Sunday editorial was about my Friday column re: annexing NoDak to solve MN problems. Love it. |
Just played Club Penguin with child - or rather watched her play. Now she's watching me play Call of Duty. (Kidding.) |
@tamij I'll take mosquitoes and sun and humidity right now. And it's far too early to be unhappy about this. |
The extent my cabin fever is matched only by my disinclination to go anywhere. You can see the dilemma this puts me in. |
Dead silence outside except for the brittle tinkle of snow on the leaves, and the tiny cry of an animal in distress. It's a cold wortld. |
I still find it hard to believe that Batman designed the Batplane with a balloon-tether-severing device in the nose. |
Just for the record, I liked Keaton as Batman. I also liked Dalton as Bond, so take that for what it's worth. |
@AthensWren Clooney Batman is . . .I don't know, the Star Trek V of Batmans. Not even on the table for discussion. |
1st Keaton Batman on TV now. To those who were teens when they saw the Bale Batman, this must look like Adam West Batman. |
Update: No one woke up screaming in "I Wake Up Screaming." No one went to bed, either. But a damned fine little movie. |
The DVD of "I Wake Up Screaming" (1941, B&W) starts with an anti-piracy ad. Somehow I don't think they're hitting the target audience. |
Depression update: all suburban store parking lots jammed. |
Wife has gone to Target. That's *my* job. I'll show her! I'll clean the fridge. |
@Radioblogger You're right; now I remember. It takes a bad movie to make a man bored with Keira Knightley . |
Oh, great: having reminded self how much I enjoyed first PotC, I am doomed to rewatch 2 and 3 to remind myself why I didn't like them. |
Now to watch Pirates of the Caribbean. Which one? In trilogy terms, the one where Neo blows up the Death Star with Crispin Glover. |
Advantages of a near-deaf dog: now I can nuke pizza late at night without him waking up wife by jumping off bed & clattering down te stairs. |
