We're headed for Venus
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And'll welcome us all

The end credits from the score.

The Dirty Harry film?

He would have, but she's not into body hair.

The other day, it kind of blew my mind to think of how far Depp has fallen.I can't help but think of him as Eddie Rebel in that Tom Petty "Into the Great Wide Open" video.

1) A serial killer whose modus operandi is to lure a woman into his stunt car where he's protected and she's not and then he murders her by driving really reckless? That's pretty stupid even for an homage to a lowbrow genre.

That's where I quit. Killing the judge and then making an other elaborate tableau with the body and organs in the courtroom himself and I thought "Enough."

I liked the one where Fred needed surgery but he refused to let a black surgeon do the operation because he figured the black guy had only graduated med school because of Affirmative Action. I think he might have requested an Asian physician.

The shiny bald look looks terrible, at least on white men. Shave it to the barest stubble, but the Mr. Clean look isn't a good thing unless you want that tough biker image.

Give it a try if you want to. The bald look isn't for everyone just because a few movie stars do it. Losing your hair won't necessarily make you unattractive, but it WILL make you look different. It'll suck knowing you'll never look as good as you did when you had a full head of hair and people will try to fob you off…

I thought Death Proof was Tarantino's worst.

My Crazy Friend came over Friday night. We watched The Bounty, with Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins, which I found dull but he loved. Then I showed him Blood Tomahawk. Finally watched La La Land, which I liked, and gave Murder by Death a try, but couldn't get past the lame humor.

He's Jason Miller's son. The priest from The Exorcist.

Two greatest bits of dialogue in cinema:

I love Willeford's Hoke Moseley novels. I love that you get a real sense of Miami, a city I have never visited before, and that Moseley is a good cop but has a bad personal life. He's broke, not that good-looking (Fred Ward played him in the mediocre movie), has false teeth.

"Don't worry about Pablo. I'll take care of him. Do you remember that Bob Dylan song about the lady laying across a brass bed?"

I re-read Miami Blues, one of the greatest crime novels ever, last night.

That's Gig Young you're thinking of. Flynn had been dead for 15 years. Young didn't last his first day on the set because he was withdrawing so bad from booze.

I love Richard Simmons but that doesn't mean he's not fodder for comedy. My favorite part is when "Lance Perkins" is interviewing a morbidly obese woman who says she was humiliated when a frat boy asked her out only because his fraternity was having a "Pig Day." Perkins gasps and says, "You mean he only asked you out…

I didn't know about those…I figured they individually wrapped them exactly because of what you said…especially if in a warm environment, they'd turn into a sludge.
