'What If': Todd Manning Met Spinelli

 

continuing with the abc soaps 'what if' series we have 'general hospital' meeting 'one life to live'

Let's Talk About Kim

it appears to be time for a kim novak collection. and it is deserved. i love kim novak. was she the best actress ever? no. so what. she was a personality who could act. she was one studios answer to marilyn monroe. did she beat out monroe? no. was she a better actress than monroe? hell yes and most film historians agree. i'm a film historian and i sure agree. so there!

and did i mention she's a beauty.

the collection includes 'bell book and candle', 'jeanne eagles', 'picnic', 'middle of the night' and the truly awful 'pal joey'.

'pinic', and 'jeanne eagles' are among my favorite kim films. they would be joined by 'vertigo', 'the legend of lylah clare', 'bell book and candle' and the 'notorious landlady' in my collection.

but i also give you the following kim films that i like a lot. are they great films. hell no. some are good. some are campy. hell 'the legend of lylah clare' that i listed above is one of the campiest films ever. hey i'm gay. we love campy movies.

so give the collection a try. but avoid the bastardized 'pal joey' that went from a damn good broadway musical to a lousy frank sinatra ego trip of a movie.

i give you miss kim novak

Song of the Day: 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'

fall is upon the northern hemisphere and as the seasons change so do we all change...so i'm going to try and expand things here. so i'm going to give a shot at a 'song of the day'...all i can say is my musical mind and tastes are all over the place...eclectic. so you  will never know what's up next. music is my life. it is in me. it always has been. music, all music, needs to be shared. i'm a virgo thus i believe in sharing.

to start things off is the queen herself, miss aretha franklin, with 'bridge over troubled water'.

What's on My Mind Today

what the frack...this moron the rev. terry jones is calling for koran burning on 9/11. all korans worldwide. a holy book he wants to burn. frackin' idiot! and this good, very good, christian man lives in florida. how embarrassed should i be? just a little bok burnibg celebration to get more of the muslim world to love america even more. douche bag. i have a nephew in afghanistan in harm's way already. i don't need this maniac making things worse for him. ain't christianity great. frackin'right wing numb nuts strike again. he is dangerous. they are dangerous. someone needs to fly a plane into his house and house of worship.

douche bags one and all!
