Carl Kolchak: An Appreciation

New post from me on a great collision of actor and character, and the films, shows and post-cancellation afterlife of one of the greats

I can see why trump wants to send in the military. 🫣

Yesterday would have been a perfect time for a military coup in the US.

Don’t those French know that caring for others is sooooo woke?

Well, you’ve got your answer right there.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me a gazillion times, I must be Lisa Murkowski.

I’m afraid they are already sucking up to their detractors in Congress, trying to get the money back. Promising changes to their programming. No more propaganda from Elmo. That’s the way it works

Oh, it’s noticed and laughed off.

This is supposedly a one-person tiramisu at the restaurant where we had lunch. The two of us couldn’t finish it. It was terrific.

Marches in the rest of the country are fine, but people need to surround the White House and Mara Lago every day, not just on β€œspecial” days. Shut them down.

Better than having the Pina Colada song playing at 3 am. Or The Streak. Where do they come from?

Not alone, but we will never contact any other life form out there. The distances are too great.

The biggest joke on mankind is that
computers have started asking humans to prove that they are not robots.

Elliot Gould was terrific. Such an underappreciated actor.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Terrific song. It appeared in the midst of the British Invasion as an anomaly. Rockers didn’t get it and it wasn’t quite pop. I still play it when I need a lift of my spirits.

Walt Kelly had a lot to do with it, too.

My high school jazz band played that until the principal found out what it was called and he put a stop to it. Ah, more innocent days.

We’ve just moved to France, so my ink is in a container somewhere at sea, but when it gets here, I’m going to line them up on my shelf and stare at them lovingly.

Visited his home and studio a few years back. It was stunning.
