Teri Garr was always a bright and funny part of most...I grew up on Mr. Mom and Young Frankenstein and Close Encounters. But one of my favorites is her supporting part as the cocktail waitress/artist in the brilliant After Hours... RIP Teri Garr!
@Vatel1675 Not to be confused with this early Raimi/Coen Bros masterpiece... ๐ (seriously though, Brion James and Paul Smith were legendary movie bad guys ๐ข ...just mebbe not here ๐)
AI OVERLORD UPDATE: despite all the info the internet knows about me via algorithms and now AI, it still doesn't know me well enough not to show me an ad for a Hummer. (The only way we'll know we're 99% safe will be one for a Lambo truck. ๐)
@Vatel1675 @ReganMacarthur From what I've seen/read, Sly had to fight w/ the production to keep it from being an utter schlockfest compared to the book...but somewhere there's a universe where Kris is Rambo amd Sly starred in Heaven's Gate... ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
There's also always this... https://t.co/9QrhbxUBgr
Was showing off some baby horror villains I'd done years ago & got the request to do baby Candyman ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ (luckily the great @TonyTodd54 had posted some childhood photos easing the process!)
I remember seeing The General the 1st time & being awestruck...& @tcm would do late night blocks combining his shorts & features and I videotaped every one of them that time & neglect hadn't destroyed...truly magical.
@MEProctor3@cstegman As one of the most dashing men on the continent for decades, that seems a more achievable goal than for many! ๐๐ (but the point is well taken!)
Tough call, but likely V by Pynchon - I loved that a complex & literary book could also be so absurd & farcical (& oddly romantic) especially compared to the mostly dry offerings of HS lit class. (Close runners up: Camus' The Stranger, Burroughs' Naked Lunch, Kafka's The Trial.)
in light of all the discourse on my tl: what was ACTUALLY your favorite book when you started college? I think mine was mary doria russell's the sparrow.
Oof..RIP Kris Kristofferson...
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid is one of my personal favorite movies...and this man is a big part of the reason.
He always seemed like a decent and thoughtful guy, a good actor and a wonderful songwriter...
@KirbyKrackleArt Between his wild run of books at DC in the 70s and his even wilder return to Marvel...the 2001 book is top shelf for pure unbridled creative insanity...I treasure those comics...
