I rarely find a new movie that attracts me & there’s almost no new music I like…..but I listen to 103.1. I think Steve Jones has a fresh approach to his DJ gig. I’m amused by Jonesy’s Juke Box…..who can resist a Sex Pistol? & speak of the devil, a movie I did find fantastic??? From the late 80s, the incredible Sid & Nancy. The last movie I really liked Team America: World Police…& that was released years ago.
2 of my favorite classic film masters, mid-century modernist Michelangelo Antonioni, & the legendary Ingmar Bergman, just died at great ages. These men were important artists who inspired & influenced so many.
After hearing of Antonioni’s death I was in the office of my Beverly Hills orthopod. Seated next to the reception window, I overheard the name of an iconic producer. Dino De Laurentis was there w/ his leggy blonde wife. In his late-eighties, De Laurentis is the very last of a dying breed. He produced giants like Fellini, David Lynch’s Blue Velvet as well as plenty of big commercial fare. Bravo, Dino.
Entertainment is slices of verité now. The big LA trial is the best summer movie!!! I am eager to watch testimony today by action director Michael Bay & anything else they offer up. Prosecutor Alan Jackson & no-nonsense Judge Fidler are new stars!!!
