Lest we forget the outrageous sexiness of Marilyn Monroe. Not holding anything back.

That mustache! That voice! "'Tis a fah, fah, better thing…" Coleman always brings something to a movie.

If you concentrate only on the white noise on "I Want You" (get out your headphones), there's a surprising amount of variation in tone and volume. It sounds like some hell lizard crawling out of the muck.

Yeah, that was a big omission. I'll admit that that every music article can't be a Beatles love-fest, but look at how they used the Moog on Abbey Road:

I knew that he did something beyond these credits - dude was on my TV plenty. Good-natured man.

Let's hope he doesn't have to add an episode to The Civil War in the coming years.

2017 is trying to redeem itself after 2016.

The four stereo channels on a stereo 8-track have to be exactly the same length - it's just a very long tape looped in a huge circle. It was hard to work the spaces between the songs so that there wasn't too long a wait from the end of the last song of each channel to the end of the tape and the subsequent change to…

If you want to hear Snowy White play lead guitar during "Pigs On the Wing" you need to get the 8-track of Pink Floyd's Animals. Or buy an out-of-print Snowy White CD. Or go to YouTube.

I think the blatant artificiality of Cocteau's effects make them seem more dream-like - they're so almost normal.

Ahem…"irredeemable" is the word we use.

Not the professional stuff, but I am going to get a blog going within the next few months. I'll be writing strictly as a hobbiest - I didn't last long in the business. But here's a link to one of the videos in my little YouTube channel - it's the intro to a domestic violence video. Pretension alert: yup, it was…

Too soon!

I was absolutely floored by the first installment of the OJ doc, but I haven't moved on yet because it's just not a light subject. Every weekend I think, Do I take another bite?

91. Singer-songwriter who covered "I Got a Name" for the film The Last American Hero (renamed Hard Driver on re-release), a fine slice-of-life starring Jeff Bridges as a stock car driver - hence his listing on IMDB. The song is sappy, but Maury Meuhleisen turns in a typically skillful guitar lead. Sadly, he lost his…

It's so sweet when one's romantic interest shares the same feelings towards music. After a break-up, however, you have to reclaim your songs.

I have sent maybe 8 tweets out into the ether in my life. When I tweeted that the Hamilton cast blew a perfect moment by not singing "Springtime for Hitler," a former boss wrote that I was being unprofessional.

For all her faults, Kael captured the immediacy of movies, especially of actors. She loved actors who brought life to their roles and was unimpressed with movies which focused on form at the expense of performance. Compare her favorite movies with those of Martin Scorcese, who doesn't seem to mind wooden acting and…

Yes. It took me 3 seconds to think up "fighting sports," a more accurate description.
