The Crying Game

Only a tentative response right after waking:

Army of Darkness is by far my favorite of the Evil Dead series if you don’t mind mostly comedy and not so much horror.

I’m quite straight as you might have guessed but two men I identified with are David Bowie and Don Johnson. Bowie wasn’t even gay in my opinion—he liked black women. I saw him live on his last tour when he had the collapsed vein in Germany, I think. He was obviously with a beautiful black woman in his band who i think was his wife. I think he always liked back women but gay was in after Lou Reed so he went with it. Not saying he didn’t have a few flings on the side with men. He must have loved German later surrealists as he dressed up like Klaus ?? I’ll think of his name later.

This is written just after waking up and i’m still on my first coffee. I need lots of stimulation like Bowie but caffeine is all that’s available

I always wanted linen suits like Johnson but I just couldn’t pull it off. But he is so ultra cool.

No, I’m not in London or I’d go over to see you but I thought YOU were there. Just a minor misunderstanding.I wasn’t crazy about it the short time I was there but that was because some of them have a thing about Yanks to be sure.

Actors don’t get much better than Oldman. My favorite of his roles was in Pulp Fiction, a movie overflowing with great actors.

Eric Roberts is still in a few movies now and then and I might add him to the two men mentioned above.

Patrick O’Brian writes about the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and that sounds just awfully boring but isn’t. He wrote twenty books in a series that fit together as one huge book. If you read them you MUST read them in order starting with Master and Commander. Yes it was a Russel Crowe movie but you can’t blame O’Brian for that.

For filth, I like William S Burroughs early work: Naked Lunch, The Ticket that Exploded, etc. all made into a Cronenberg movie that didn’t work for me, but I like Cronenberg otherwise.

That tunnel fight scene sounds very familiar.

Oh, what was that really dark London movie about a man who falls in love with another man, thinking she is a woman. I need more stimulation to get the brain working.

This message sounds like a shopping list but I will post it now and send another one or more later. Soon I have to go work out because at my age if I don’t work out I disintegrate into a blob.

It is very flattering to read those things but I am afraid the reality of me might stun you.

Don’t be hurt by anything people say online. Some people live to hurt others. I wouldn’t mind if you lie but do not think you are. And you’re not oversharing. I love it.

Ta ta for now: brekkies and more coffee
