Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space (Free subscription) | yesterday
I went to a training session (a "planners bootcamp" at Catholic U, sponsored by the local chapter of the Am. Planning Association), and he spoke, ostensibly about how to do spellbinding graphic presentations, featuring presentations on the current Montgomery County Growth Strategy update process (the strategy is up for a vote on Tuesday before the Montgomery County Council, even though the...

Carly Simon is broke. Yes, broke. After loosing money in unwise investments (Madoff?), and taking on too much debt, the Simon and Schuster heiress finds herself in the poor house–two of them. One a West Village townhouse, the other a beach pad on Cape Cod. We should all be that destitute. I [...]

Yesterday Sunset Gun's Kim Morgan posted a very nice q & a interview with Eva Marie Saint. A little too nice, if you ask me. Older showbiz folk tend to either recall their lives in a naked-blunt Klaus Kinski style (i.e., "I'm too old to muddy my memories with even a smidgen of bullshit") or with excessive fondness. Saint lives in the latter camp. Every big name she's worked with (Marlon...

Download HereIt ain't over mothafucker.I was digging around for something and found Bulworth just staring at me. Regarding the movie, it sure was dumb from what I remember. Warren Beatty was some sort of politician that suffered some sort of mid-life crisis and decided he'd get in tough with his inner-urban blackness. It tried to tackle race issues, but it just wasn't good enough to keep me too

Pete Yorn on: Shampoo (or "The Evolution Of George Roundy")**********************I wanted to make an entire record based on the George Roundy character from Hal Ashby's classic film Shampoo (1975). I settled for one song, appropriately titled, Shampoo. George, played by a strapping Warren Beatty, is a straight...

Elna Baker’s new memoir, The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance, is billed as a coming of age story of a Mormon girl in New York, a virginal Mormon girl in the face of Carrie Bradshaw’s (surprisingly STD-free) City. But her feelings of deep faith mixed with nagging doubts and her commitment to chastity while [...]

Dog walking at the estuary when the tide is out. Yesterday went well we went off for a dog walk and swim first thing then it was home for boiled eggs and toasty soldiers and buckets of hot coffee. It was a beautiful sunny day so we took ourselves off to Woolwich to the large oriental supper market "See Woo", where we had a grand time looking at all the strange things that were on offer. Needless...

You can see me in the photo at the left kneeling by a headstone in a forlorn, weed-infested graveyard in a bad part of Dallas, Texas. The remains below that headstone are none other than those of Clyde Barrow, the male half of the notorious duo who ravaged the the southern states in the late [...]

Stage parents will latch on to this one -- not all child actors have a tough time later in life (see: Gary Coleman). Some become lawyers. Jennifer Snyder ate Jell-o pudding with Bill Cosby and starred in more than 50 other commercials before eventually attending Villanova Law School and becoming a partner at Dilworth Paxon. Snyder, who still acts and sings, is profiled in the current New York Lawyer...

For no reason I can articulate that would be flattering to myself as a person, I seem to get real excited whenever Turner Classic Movies finds something to show from the seventies that I've never even heard of, let alone seen before. This last happened almost six months ago with Robert Mulligan's The Pursuit of Happiness , and last night it happened again with Chandler (1971)) , a rare starring vehicle...
