I know ridiculously obscure details about film. Some people seem to think it's a legitimate talent. One day, maybe it will earn me a living.

Watched Sofia Coppola's PRISCILLA tonight. Beautifully staged and well-done understated performances all around. A calm rebuttal to the excess of Baz Luhrman's biopic.
Sadly though, she chose not to depict my favorite moment from Priscilla Presley's book:

Today should have been Clu Gulager's 95th birthday.
So to honor his memory, have an afternoon nap, take a long walk somewhere, sit in the front row of a movie, then find a diner open long past midnight and tell a ribald story over fried food. Be the legend folks want to remember.

I have no intention of seeing the new SPACE JAM, but if you'll indulge me, I've been following the discourse about its involvement of iconography from Ken Russell's THE DEVILS, and the bafflement that it's being integrated into a "family" film. It may be a genius move. (1/x)

Entertainment history is full of stately promising men who flamed out, fell from grace, and became footnotes or punchlines. I pray Rick Dalton grasped what a lucky man he was to have a long career, peer respect, and to live out his life full measure.
Here's to dreams come true.
We are saddened by the news of the passing of actor Rick Dalton, best known for his roles in the hit TV series Bounty Law and The Fireman trilogy.
Rick passed away peacefully in his home in Hawaii and is survived by his wife Francesca.
