I’ve never before watched a Groucho interview long enough for him to get past the old-timey schtick. This was a fascinating look into the psyche of the 20th century. Here’s a guy who’s been alive since the 1800s. He’s a very liberated thinker. Actually gets a few really funny ones in there too.

This flick took a lot of heat because the book was a mind blowing achievement whereas the movie is merely rad.

The master of a perfectly manicured tree lined drive in the country which ends in the parking lot of a Circle K.

If I could have stopped cringing at the dialogue long enough to cease wincing at the awkward deliveries I may have been able to overlook my embarrassment at the storyline long enough to enjoy the cinematography.

This is amazing. The song as well as the video. Great werk like this makes me jealous and that’s a feeling with relish.

I was in Cape Cod almost 15 yrs ago at a bar where this old guy Rocky King was playing piano and singing. He told jokes too. I have a very clear image of his hands playing this song. It was so cool it left an impression strong enough that I finally checked YouTube and of course here he is playing it in 2009 at that same bar.
He really is such an amazing pianist. This style is very very cool.

“He never had a kid, and never owned a gun. He owned a lot of books, though, and kept buying new ones, and giving me those he thought were particularly well done. It was an ordeal for him to find this book or that one, so he could read some particularly magical passage aloud to me. Here’s why: His wife Aunt Raye, who was said to be artistic, arranged his library according to the size and color of the volumes, and stairstep style. So he might say of a collection of essays by his hero H. L. Mencken, “I think it was green, and about this high.”

Thanks to Max at the Vonnegut Library for the quote. They’re raising dough for their 2018 program, give up some.

Well this is sure depressing. And such great writing that seems wasted. Really like ok, shitty book you don’t wanna read spoiler his wife, his son, and his dad die. So he gets in a 1930s automobile to go on a trip and shit gets actually worse. And these are the parts that aren’t boring. It’s either depressing or boring. The whole time. But also the whole time incredibly beautiful and lyrical.
Bummer. I did a lot of skimming.

To say there’s a glut of “The Girl” books would be an understatement. That being said let me also say I’ve not read any book quite like this nor have I ever or will ever again read a “The Girl” book even though this is pretty much as good as a book could possibly get.
It’s a Hollywood murder mystery period piece but is it set in 1930s Hollywood Babylon? Nope. It’s set in 1992 Baywatch Shittywood and it’s strangely deep and fugging hysterical.
I’ll be reading more from this series. If I can find them.
