Far Side

Sick,shameless deviant here. I'm in the camp that finds Lifeforce endearingly trashy, but R.O. gives a respectably thoughtful and articulate take. But we're both in agreement that the Cannon doc Electric Boogaloo is utterly terrific.

As for the censored bits...my God, it's full of stars!

James Van Der Beek’s final message to the world:

It’s Leslie Nielsen’s birthday & this is still the greatest gag in the history of comedy.

The Day the Music Died

Tragic plane crash took lives of musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie "La Bamba" Valens, and The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson). The trio, along with pilot Roger Peterson, died near Clear Lake, Iowa.

So much talent taken too early!

Another week gone by.
Still only January.

In the last year, I have written and edited extensive tribute coverage for David Lynch, Val Kilmer, Gene Hackman, Robert Redford, Rob Reiner, Tom Stoppard, Diane Ladd, Diane Keaton, Terence Stamp, Brian Wilson, and Catherine O'Hara, and no wonder I'm sad too often.

Imagine driving down the Miracle Mile in 1967 and seeing this in your rearview mirror...

Fear not, it's just sculptor Howard Ball in a VW towing one of his fiberglass mammoths to be installed at the La Brea Tar Pits.

A nighttime photograph of a long pedestrian bridge during a heavy snowfall. The scene is softly lit by a row of tall streetlamps, each with three glowing bulbs, casting warm yellow light through the falling snow. The lamps recede into the distance, creating a rhythmic line of light that fades into fog and darkness. The bridge walkway is covered in fresh snow, with faint footprints visible along the center path. On the right, a dark metal railing runs the length of the bridge, its top edge dusted with snow. The atmosphere feels quiet, cold, and contemplative, with limited visibility due to the dense snowfall and misty air.

Your moment of zen

We’re failing the test, people. Miserably.

Colbert’s cameo in The Desolation of Smaug is the best! Love that for him as a lifelong Tolkien fan.

When a vicious monster has a mouth this big, it's either getting ready to bite your head off, or you are such a boring victim that you've triggered the biggest yawn of its life. Just in case, don't panic, and just continue to be your boring self, it might just lull it to sleep!

Re-Watching Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)!

Forget the supernatural side, they need a string of films about door to door religious zealots & that would be enough to terrify any neighborhood! The ominous doorbell ring at 2:17 in the afternoon, the free literature, the damning looks they give.
