Looking For Richard was awesome.  Interesting deconstruction of the play, fact, fiction and modes of theatre and filmmaking.  Most amazing, Big Al got such a performance out of Winona Ryder that I almost forgave her for not showing her tits along with every other chick in Dracula.  Still, I'd burn her with my…

Martin Donovan is great in everything.

Not to open the door to the old debate about beauty and sublimity but Kubrick films definitely move me on an emotional level.  I think about many of my faves of the Kubrick oeuvre, Dr. Strangelove, Clockwork, 2001, The Shining, and my hair will literally stand on end.  I don't think that is from intellectual…

Who's the Prez who loves his grub
Who got stuck in one big tub?

I have a friend like that.  By age 21 or so he looked 40-45 and hasn't aged since.  He's a wildland firefighter.  He fights fires in wild lands.

Sweetback's dick floors me and my wife!

Y'got's to love the still-photo montage karate fight scene on the dock at the end.  And Mayfield, man, Mayfield.

(It's in my Commentariat Avatar Contract to do this)

Nothin' wrong with the song either.  Those goddam pimps tryin' to catch a woman that's weak.  And don't get me started on pushers that won't let the junkies go free.

Despite many structural problems I really, really love Superfly.  John Shaft is a good name, but Youngblood Priest is a GREAT name.

My mama din't raise no dummies, I dug her rap!

And say hi to your mom, that Scorpion Woman, when you get to Whore Island!

Now play Classical Gas.

SNF's melancholy ambiguity was a revelation to me upon first watching it.  I was introduced to the send-up scene from Airplane long before seeing Fever.  I utterly loved it though and believe that the ending is of a piece with the demonstrated heart and depth of the movie, qualities that prevent it from being dated…

I'm game to be yer ol' seacaptain Bigtits.  Arrr.  I'm no man but a remorseless motorboatin' machine.

I wouldn't mind a little nip of sushi.

Ouch.  I can't get taken to the mat enough by someone named Bigtits.

What's he gonna do?  Write some scathing tweets that completely eviscerate her?

Never forget the leather pants.  Never forget.
