And yet, I can hear Sean’s voice saying the word “Comanche.”

Then watch The Dish. Sam Neil, Patrick Warburton in fine Generic Mid-Century G-Man form, Kevin Harrington, the legendary Roy Billing, and the late, great Tom Long (RIP).

my favorite obscure (?) Sam Neill movie was Dead Calm with a super young (actually probably MORE age inappropriate for him than Laura Dern in JP) Nicole Kidman as his wife and Billy Zane as the wacko they had to deal with. He had half the movie to himself trying to survive a really difficult situation and it was just…

I took Michael Keaton’s advice about running a prostitution scheme out of a morgue and it led to a long prison sentence. Never again

I guess it depends on what you like in a comic book movie. To be fair I know I am not the target audience for a grim dark Joker origin story told like a Scorsese movie. But I did try to give it a fair shake, It just was not my thing and I did not think it was worthy of that much praise. Sure the acting was good and it…

Yeah, the 70's were full of people who were famous for being famous and I always assumed it started long before that. I remember George Hamilton was once described as “Famous for Being Tan.” Hell, there was an entire genre of shows that lived off people like that guest starring every week like The Love Boat and Fantasy…

Buddy, it goes back WAY further than Zsa Zsa Gabor. Helen of Troy was famous solely for her beauty.

“Business is bad? Fuck you - pray for me.
Had a fire? Fuck you - pray for me.
The place got hit by lightning? Fuck you - pray for me.”

“I’m gonna be one with the universe - one with the universe.”

Don’t eat the juicy snow.

I saw a possum with a cocktail menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Greenpoint in the rain
He was looking for a place called Temkin’s Bar
Gonna get a big dish of grubs chow mein

Possums aren’t rodents. They just dress that way.

And the piano sounds like a carnival!

These two are definitely in cahoots, and they absolutely roam from town to town pulling the same scam for free drinks.
