Why Laura (1944) may be the greatest movie ever

• It's in glorious black & white!
• Because the game "Is Waldo Lydecker gay?" never gets stale
• Because that glamourous mid-century movie star Gene Tierney kinda reminds me of dear old mom, back in the day
• Quintessential Film Noir at it's noirest
• Dig that crazy theme music!
• Sample Dialogue: "I hope you'll never regret what promises to be a disgustingly earthy relationship."

My Post-Palin Depression (Revised)!

Now that the nation no longer has Sarah Palin to kick around any more, well, all except Alaskans (and some disgruntled former McCain campaign aides), I am frantically searching the skies and the internet for further news of her - yes, she's become the woman I love to hate! So here's something.
And is it just coincidence that my IPOD just kicked in with Emmylou Harris singing All My Tears ("it don't matter where you bury me/I'll be home and I'll be free")?

Finally...

It's here! The big day has finally arrived!
Ain't it Funny How Time Slips Away?

Might as well face it, you're addicted to (Milk) Duds

A Halloween Post-Mortem.
The good news is I didn't buy any candy that I liked.
The bad news is I'm eating it anyway.
