They’re Back?
Crossing Delancy is the perfect example of a great not-so-great movie. I think I owe FB for that one, but it’s an important and indispensable category. And CD hails from 1988, no less, so there I go being kind to an 80s film. But, does that mean we want to dress that way again? You…

Saturday Cat Blogging?
Zachary can’t live on Southern exposure alone. Hangin’ on the Frigidaire: Bonus round! Ontario melted dog blogging! (It’s been hot in the Great White North, too.) To re-constitute, just add water.

Rock ‘n Roll politics
A while back I celebrated my long-delayed Karaoke debut. This took place appropriately enough in “Music City, USA”. Nashville certainly earns that title, covering as it does that wide stylistic expanse from Country to Western.*** Up on stage, S.Fo and I performed My Generation (my choice) and LA Woman (his choice). Both songs are probably…

Fizzle, fo-shizzle
Some things need to be blogged in quasi-realtime, and this is surely one of them. Just got back from a silly, trendy club on W58th st. Ha ha. SF, who, being a recent NY transplant from San Fran, and whom therefore I like to think of as S.Fo, decided to damn the torpeedos and go…

From Cinemarred to Keano Kino
Cinemarred: Paul Newman is a great actor–or perhaps it’s just enough to say that he is an actor.

He doesn’t have any “Bosom Buddies”…

Positing an alternate reality
August 6th was the anniversary of two days of infamy. About August 6th, 1945, the title of a book I read as a teenager sums it up: “The Day Man Lost”. More recently, August 6th 2001 was the day that President Bush, on vacation at Crawford TX, received the infamous Presidential Daily Briefing that warned…
