John Wall

Best years of our lives

Ed Zwick is one of the few Major directors capable of understanding the military.

The Song of Bernadette was shown every year at my Catholic elementary school in the 1960s--it was Gone With the Wind for the Ursuline nuns.

It looks like she'll have the same career arc as John Podhoretz, with the Ellisons standing in for Midge and Norman.

You have to couple it with a companion movie, The Little Girl who Lives Down The Lane, also with Jacoby and young Jodie Foster

The environmental activist was Laurie David, Larry David’s real life wife. Now ex wife.

Because …. Polls are wrong.

Really the template for all the cold-blooded assassin films to follow.

Well, the barouche was the Cadillac (or Rolls-Royce) of its time.

Might be a question for Benjamin Dreyer, if you follow him.

Those were used primarily for telephone books, where space was at a premium.

This guy looks like an extra for a musketeer movie

Remember him well from Laugh In.

Good! (I’m a veteran)

RIP Jack Dejohnette, premier jazz drummer of his generation. He could play any genre, any style. He might have been one of the first fusion jazz pioneers, playing with Miles and others. His band Special Edition was a groundbreaking avant-garde group.

RIP Oakland Raider safety George Atkinson. My brother Joe and I saw him return a punt for a touchdown vs. the Buffalo Bills in 1968 at Oakland Colosseum. He was the last living member of the Soul Patrol Raider defensive backfield of the 60s and 70s

Shouldn’t an opinion writer have more than a few years experience before applying that experience to their opinions?

So self reverential, laments when a crooked moron became president

Movie Viewing: A House of Dynamite. Director K Bigelow finds poetry in the chaos of an impending nuclear attack--told from three perspectives. Standouts Rebecca Ferguson and Idris Elba make you wonder what would happen when the White House is populated by less than stellar intellects.

Congrats!

Neither are dead, but James Ellroy or Bret Easton Ellis.

Don’t forget the ranks are pay scaled differently as well. 130 mill wouldn’t fully pay the troops stationed just in Europe

I like how, after playing Jerry Wexler in Aretha, Marc Maron is now the go- to guy to portray recording engineers.
