Still Crazy After These Years

Bacall and I have no exes. And no regrets. But sometimes an unsolicited memory creeps in.

The Last Picture Show - One of my all-time fav movies. Ben Johnson did not want to do this scene. He only likes a few sentences at a time. Bogdanovich called John Houston to convince Johnson to do the scene. Johnson cursed Bogdanovich for putting the old man on him. The scene won him an award. [*]

The Water Tank Scene.

[*] If that does not make sense to you, without John Houston there would have never been a John Wayne or a Ben Johnson.

      You can't watch a three-minute clip?

      Yep, Bogdanovich wanted it in B&W

      She was 20 and I was in lust

  2. Since I have not seen any new content in over a month… Hope all is well… maybe your offerings are just not making it to my feed. In any event I miss your Spanking related insights

  3. I just sat down to rest after folding some clothes. Rest after folding clothes! Welcome to my world. In fact, I have a rally in the last two weeks and I plan to resume posting, perhaps limited, after I finish my taxes. I know that if I did the other way around, I would be in trouble with the IRS and the state.

    So stay tuned.

  4. Just stopped in to see how you were doing. Good to hear you had a rally this past couple weeks. Darned IRS has no sense of decorum or patience!!
