I see. 
Well, off he goes to Bozoland.
He made a big impression on me in Night Crossing.
Another movie that made a big impression on me was Midnight Express but truthfully, I don’t remember the character that John played in it. Brad Davis was the one who was very impressionable in this one.
I remember when he asked the policeman “Are…are we in the West?” and how bewildered the officer was when the two men he had confronted suddenly start jumping up and down, laughing and yelling.
Did you see Scandal? That was a good film.
We’re practically halfway through the year already and neither I nor my husband have any points. One of my pics, Julie Newmar, will be at Steel City Con in August. Now I’m not that desperate for points - yet - but she will be within reach…
Is this why that particular rule was invented?
I should imagine so.
You would be disqualified. 
But perhaps we could make a deal over her and some of my contestants?
Wait a minute, didn’t I say that on the other side of the record?
As a kid, I caught a showing of The Elephant Man on what passed for cable in our house. There was something locally (though it could have been nationwide) that was called “StarTV.” At least, I think that’s what it was called. It was a one-channel set-up that would show stuff for kids during the day, and at night more adult-oriented material. Not pornographic or anything, but geared to a more adult audience. They did show some softcore on occasion (it’s where I first heard of Sylvia Kristel in Private Lessons, and was introduced to My Tutor).
And I happened to see John Hurt as John Merrick, and it scared the everloving shit out of me. I developed an almost-psychosis about it, convinced that I’d wake up one morning with the same deformities. It’s a good movie, but John Hurt still creeps me out in everything I’ve seen him in since then.
Oh, man, John Hurt was cast in one of the lead roles in Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, this could prove to be one more setback in Gilliam’s pursuit of the legend of la Mancha.
The governor of Maryland has cancer.
Oscar winning composer James Horner’s private plane crashed this morning. The authorities have confirmed that the pilot is dead, but it has not yet been confirmed whether Horner was the pilot.
Ex-White House chef Scheib remembered for magnificent meals
Scheib recently moved from Florida to Taos. He was 61.
He spent 11 years leading the White House kitchen under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. He was in charge of a full-time staff of five and oversaw a part-time staff of 20.
Scheib was known for refocusing the White House kitchen on distinctly American cuisine with seasonal ingredients and contemporary flavors. He was responsible for preparing everything from First Family meals to formal State Dinners.
Walter, not Earl.
“He’s dead, Jim”.
Well, I’ll definitely be keeping him in mind when I make up my 2016 list.
Donald Featherstone, creator of the pink flamingo lawn ornament, has been recycled.
I can only assume he’s now in a purgatory filled with velvet Elvises, garden gnomes, and pictures of dogs playing poker, in addition to his own creation.
He went down with his ship, too.
Dick Van Pattern decided that eighty-six years is enough.
My dog eats his food. Who’s gonna feed her now?
:smack: I should’ve said he’s gone to that big yard sale in the sky
