Now that’s entertainment!
The entertainment here in Hollywood is a little bit different than that in Hollister, example No. 69. The 50 Cent Lance and its recent pullout entertainment section front page features a down-and-out couple pictured living in a seedy motel with four more pages on the inside dedicated to couples like them but with even worse lifestyles. Is that what in Hollister passes for entertainment? Can’t wait to see if the cricket flu hits Hollister and what spin the entertainment editor of the Fifty Cent Lance puts on it. Aye Chee Waa Waa!
But I did love that front-page story in the Fifty Cent Lance where Hollister officials wonder about the cricket invasion. Right below the story about the crickets with pictures is a story about the corn crop season. Am I the only atheist to have to interpret the Bible to you all? Corn crops and crickets. But I am still laughing at Jerry Muenzer, one of the truly great forces in Hollister who always puts things in perspective. It must be his Asian upbringing when he matter-of-factly puts it, “It’s the year of the cricket.” Which is much better than the official who didn’t help the county Chamber of Commerce much when he said it is much better than when Hollister had its rats and meadow mice invasion.
I remember this from the ’70s and hey dude, I’m lucky to remember anything from my San Francisco days but this writer just wrote that if you call illegal aliens undocumented aliens, isn’t that like calling drug dealers undocumented pharmacists? Aye chee waa waa!
Last week I wrote how saddened I was that the remake of “3:10 to Yuma” added violence that was not in the original 1957 classic starring Glenn Ford. In this Sunday’s entertainment page of the Lost Angeles Times Glenn Ford’s son writes that he and his family were troubled about the addition of violence and was sorry his father would be remembered by the younger generation as a footnote to the new version. I hope you who enjoy the new version which I plan to see will also seek out the original and then seek out some of Glenn Ford’s great films.
You’re in luck as he starred in nearly 100 films including “Gilda,” “The Cowboys,” “Teahouse of the August Moon,” “Blackboard Jungle” and the best suspense film ever made, “Experiment in Terror.” Sorry Mr. Hitchcock. Ford also was chosen to play Clark Kent’s father in the Christopher Reeves “Superman.” Glenn Ford: a super choice.
Just bought a new iron and love the warning on the box. “DO NOT IRON CLOTHES WHILE STILL WEARING THEM.” Now I know why I’m a white man trapped in a brown body.
Al Gore is right. The signs all point to the end of the world. Wonder Bread bakeries here have ceased baking the white man’s soul food. Can mayonnaise be next?
In 1980 All Pacino starred in a great little thriller, “Cruising,” directed by William Friedkin, the Academy Award winner for “The French Connection.” Pacino plays a cop who has to act gay to go underground in hopes of capturing a gay serial killer.
The gay leaders, like leaders of most religions who love to ban things, decided to stop the film from showing in theaters even before they saw it. When I saw it at the St. Francis Theater on Market Street in San Francisco we were all frisked before entering the theater and some of us even after we entered.
How things have changed. “Cruising,” along with the director, were given standing ovations at the 85-year-old Castro Theater in San Francisco and despite no bomb threats they were still patting down audience members in line, in the theater and – heaven forbid – in the Sen. Larry Craig restrooms.
The senator who was recently busted for and pleading guilty to illegal activity in a men’s room just didn’t get it as he persists that he is not gay. It is not because you are or are not gay that you are being asked to step down from the Senate. It is because you are stupid. But if stupidity were the reason to get rid of Congress, I’m afraid only Sen. Obama would survive.
Glad to read that logic in Hollister’s educational community is still the same as when I left. The Hollister School District performed lower than the state average. Hollister district officials said they were pleased with improvements from last year. Gee, I wonder if Hollister School District would notice if you took about 50 percent of their salary away? And heaven forbid that taxpayers pay them what they are worth. Aye chee waa waa.
I hate to leave you on a sad note but one of my best friends just passed away. He was a health nut and every time he would see someone smoking he would go up to them and snatch the cigarette from their mouths and crush it out with his foot. He did this 20 or 30 times a day for as long as I have known him. He died last week at age 47 of cancer of the foot. Aye chee waa waa.
