Who is Mikhail Baryshnikov? A theory:

I’m going out on a limb…again…to reckon’ who Baryshnikov is as we found out that Rudolf Nureyev was Ron Howard. And my best Guess is…….Billy Mumy!!!!

How did I get this? I had the photo below up recently. Baryshnikov, on far right reminded me of someone I had up recently as he listened intently…

Diane Keaton and Al Pacino

Very similar looks on Baryshnikov and Pacino. Also, Billy is very talented and would be as likely as anybody, actually more likely to be as adept in ballet as his brother and hang with him/.

Just from these two photos. Head cocked at same angle, same intensive listening.

Dunkirk

I saw Dunkirk this evening, it was the World Premiere…f or me! I think war movies just get better and better and if it wasn’t for the dead bodies and stuff they’d be really good. It did set off my PTSD from the Battle of Jade Helm and I had flashbacks during the film of what went on. I’ve gone through this before but I picked up some details and some emotions so except for the crying and the shit blowing up around me it was a really good experience.

Phantasm

Hopefully this will be my last post about Phantasm.

I’ve mentioned before it being my favorite horror film though in my mind “Reanimator” runs a close second.

If I could do an update of the film I would take the material from the second film that was shot at the time of the first one…essentially the true ending of the first and put it back into the film…voila!! A masterpiece.

Perhaps this has been done already, I know it’s not going to happen but hey…how many fucking times have they recut Blade Runner?!! Admittedly they didn’t splice two movies together…that’s all I have to say about that.

Canned Squid

Ron can be hysterically funny. He was a writer on some of the best sitcoms ever which I not only watched but studied over carefully…you can’t help repeating some of the lines that get caught in your head. Previously we covered Felix telling Oscar (upon falling in love with a football player) that he was going to take care of the player because, “Love has made me strong” Felix responded, “Strength has made him stronger,” which me and my brother pissed ourselves over for weeks.

Today we cover the “Let’s Make a Deal” episode. Where Felix and Oscar get on the show with Monty Hall. Things don’t go well for the two dressed as a horse and they wind up winning a can of canned squid. Fast forward…Monty Hall gets invited to dinner at their home and while Felix and Oscar get nice juicy steak Monty winds up with “canned squid”. Trust me I do no justice to the sketch but a shout out toTony Randall’s great acting (not negating Jack Klugman) who deadpan looks to right center stage and deadpan says, “Canned Squid”. I’m not sure if they made up the horse to look different but he delivers the line in a brilliant fashion. whoops gtg.
