"Appaloosa" with Commie Ed Harris is surprisingly good - "Appaloosa" with Brando circa 1965 - is awful.

Most Miscast in a Western:

Rock Hudson as "Cochise"
Audrey Hepburn as an Indian Half-breed and sister of Audey Murphy.

However, George Kennedy WAS Sarge

Dude, if you're going to do Jobim, do it right!

Here's an English version, with a sad back story.

Icepick said...

The back story I mentioned:

The sad irony of the title of the new CD Nancy LaMott: Live at Tavern on the Green is inescapable. As her many fans know all too well, Nancy LaMott died of uterine cancer at age 43 in 1995. Composer-conductor David Friedman was and continues to be a great champion of the singer's artistry; indeed, he founded the record company Midder Music specifically for her. Now, that company has released the first "live" LaMott CD, recorded in the Chestnut Room at Tavern on the Green just seven weeks before her passing.

Does anyone here know how to discipline a pet turtle?

Bring out some black beans and put them near the turtle tank. Then casually mention (within earshot of the tank) you are looking for a good turtle soup recipe...

I knew a Brazilian lady who had several tapes full of different covers of this. She was a masseuse and would play the tape as she worked.

It was good music to get massaged to.

I just now thought of Darcy.

My turtle is very shy, he won't come out of his shell.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

rcocean...do you really mean a turtle, or is that a metaphor for something else?

So, even a innocent turtle is a subject for double-entendre?

Yep, you're evil.

rcocean said...

Funny but evil. Unlike Jerry Lewis, who is neither.

Hey hey -- Persius meteor showers start tonight ... better tomorrow and end Tuesday night.

Northeast sky. Best between 12:30 AM and 4:30 AM.

Freeman -- take a peek and if they are good get your older one up.

I went out and watched the meteors. There were about one every two or three minutes. They were subtle, but I was getting too much light pollution. Out in the country it would be much better.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

rcocean, sorry, I could not resist the turtle comment. I am glad you think me funnier than Jerry Lewis.

JAL said...

Too foggy here tonight :-(

Some of what Troop said about Western lawmen needs amending.

"In fact Earp was a gambler and a pimp. As were most of the famous gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West."

Most local lawman jobs paid next to nothing, so lawmen were allowed to sideline. Dealing a little faro was OK, everybody in the West gambled. With a male to female ratio of ~25 to 1 (sometimes more), running a house was regarded as a necessary industry for public order (until the mail order brides began rolling in).

And not all were professional gunfighters. That was something of a last resort. A lot of the lawmen lost to history were men who could enforce the law, backed up by an armed populace.

Dowd:

A new pickup line.

Ted Bundy and Richard Ramirez had people coming to them, too.

Unless you have a couple of hours to spare, don't wiki Wyatt Earp.

Everytime I go to my masseuse, who is very good by the way, she always has that airy fairy angel harp music in the background playing. So annoying. So I told her this and she asked me if I'd rather listen to Yanni or Enya and I gave her a WTF-are-you-serious look and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "that's all I've got."

Come on, man, bring in your own music. Listen to some Motorhead, or the Butthole Surfers (I'd go with Independent Worm Saloon, but skip "Clean It Up"), or even some Megadeth. How much more relaxing can it be than Megadeth?!

@Icepick: I prefer IWS too, but this reminds me more of you: "Moving To Florida"

Icepick said...

I'm more for the melancholy of "The Wooden Song" or the fatalism of "Cough Syrup".

I can`t walk so I guess I`m gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my mail alone
And I can`t talk so I guess I`ve got nothing to say
I`ll keep my eyes just take these tears away.
