The Great White Hyperlink

RAS Frank read us the riot act about not posting every day, and we heard the riot act, and we agreed not to riot anymore, even though the Riot Act doesn't actually apply to angry mobs of two. But I can't think of anything to post today and Mike's at work. So here are some links to old movie reviews I wrote for Jeff's blog, the oft-mentioned 34. It had been savoured 43,079 times when I went to it tonight. That's a real number, by the way, unlike most of those provided by Free-Floating Hostility.

A Man, a Clan, the Banal: Troy
Girls Gone Mild
Something's Gotta Suck or The Worst Movie Ever Made: Now Playing
Et in Arcadia Heath Ledger?
A Plague on the House of Wachowski

In other news, it has been pissing down rain every day for three weeks in Davis. Luckily for you, such a climate is conducive to blogging.

    • You probably shouldn't have shot all your eggs in one basket like that. When John Stewart goes on vacation they don't just show 12 Daily Show reruns one right after the other.

    • You think of everything. Sigh.

    • Girls gone mild prompts this.
    Actually, mention of Maggie Gylennal [can't spell it, won't look it up] prompts this.

    When BrooklynDodger straggled into Columbia Engineering in 1962, Naomi Achs, another Erasmus grad, entered Barnard. Naomi, Dan Pope, Eleanor Stein, myself and a number of others ran in the Brooklyn Student CORE, Brooklyn Student Sane [nuclear policy, nothing to do with mental health] crowd. [There were no women allowed in Columbia College until I think 1984 [sic!] although I believe women were allowed in SEAS although few chose to apply.]

    Naomi took up with Eric Foner, and became Naomi Foner. Whatever happened there, Naomi came to Hollywood and wrote "Running on Empty" which is the best movie ever made about the Weatherman era [pretty good movie about political activists and families in any era]. Bar none, nothing is even close. Rent this movie.

    The family in this movie is named "Pope," which refers back to Erasmus, not Rome.

    As recently reported in NYT, Naomi became Gyllenal [sp?], and from they NYT entertainment story, I see the younger Naomi's features in the movie star children.
