Three excellent, one terrible

Blues singer John Hammond sitting on a motorcycle on the waterfront in Jersey City, with the New York skyline behind him.

I just heard that blues singer/guitarist John Hammond (son of the famous producer) died last week.

I don't know the details, but apparently he died in Jersey City. Coincidentally, where this 1964 album cover photo was taken.

Federico Fellini, 1955

Apparently Elvis once flew from Memphis to Denver just to eat one.

I recently heard about this one:

How I arrived on Bluesky

Yeah, me too. I forgot how grim it is.

I love this song. Btw, do you know Al Stewart did a song about a femboy in 1967? It's called "Pretty Golden Hair" from his first album, Bedsitter Images.

Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken in the movie Escape From New York. The words 'I don't give a fuck about your war or your president.' are at the bottom of the frame.

The script was terrible. Very heavy-handed.

A ★ review of Infamous (2006) Far worse in almost every conceivable way than Bennett Miller's Capote. Foremost is Toby Jones' portrayal, which borders on caricature, as opposed to Hoffman, who almost seemed to become Capote. The o...

Bennett Miller's Capote is one of my favorite biopics. I finally got around to watching Douglas McGrath's Infamous (which covers the exact same period) and God, I hated it! 🤢🤮

The guy who played Mr. Wint (on the right in this photo) is Crispin Glover's dad.

Charlie Chaplin as the Little Tramp

I'm thinking of doing a complete Chaplin re-watch, from Making a Living (1914) through A Countess from Hong Kong (1967). And simultaneously re-reading David Robinson's excellent book Chaplin: His Life and Art.
