Of course not.

I've found that the key to unlocking Burroughs' more confusing texts is reading his collected letters--from which most of Naked Lunch was assembled. To tell the truth, The Letters of William Burroughs: 1945 - 1959 (edited by Oliver Harris) is a better read than any of his 'novels'. His mandarin intellect and side-splitting wit will have you rolling.

THE WALKING DEAD (1936). Karloff! Framed by the mob, Boris takes one jolt in the chair before the governor calls. Scientist brings ol boy back from death, anxious to know what he's seen on the other side. Karloff knows...but can't say--more interested in taking revenge on those he now knows screwed him over. Make-up great, a subtle take on the Frankenstein/Jack Pierce look--Boris loses the dental plate for that sunken jaw effect, and weighs down only one eyelid this time for a half-dead appearance. Add a shock of electrified skunk-white hair and you got one sleek, eerie Boris, who spends his free time wandering the rainy graveyards in between murders.

A rare Warner Bros. horror flick, but a dang fine one. One of the best I've seen in a while. Directed (surprise!) by Michael Curtiz, sweetheart.

Burroughs was a pretty bizarre guy, as was the book.

but - at least we know where the group "Steely Dan" got their name!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, man, I just saw the first trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence!!! I am stoked for this one!!! Love the first one and this one looks just as good. Lots of the original stars are back- Jeff Goldbloom, Bill Pullman, Viveca Fox, Brent Spiner, Judd Hirsch.

I watched Fletch (1985) again on Netflix this afternoon. Best part was when Fletch referred to a guard dog as Cujo! I just love stumbling upon random SK references - makes me very happy!

Wow! Great find! Michael Curtiz of Casablanca fame!

I have been feasting on TCM lately. I love TCM!

The Women -1939

Mary Haines: May I suggest, if you're dressing to please Stephen, not that one. He doesn't like such obvious effects.

Crystal Allen: Thanks for the tip. But when anything I wear doesn't please Stephen, I take it off.

Wonderful review. I need to see this.

THE LONG HOT SUMMER (1958).

Martin Ritt directs this southern fried classic, based on not one, not two, but THREE Faulkner stories (Spotted Horses, Barn Burning, and The Hamlet). Paul Newman just as cool as ranch dressing, slathered over a huge, sweaty mound of chicken-breaded Orson Welles (Welles GREAT as ever). I declare, Joanne Woodward and Lee Remick master their southern belle dialect, though not nearly as well as the dialect master (mistress?), Angela Lansbury. Decent flick.

Galaxy Quest (1999)

Great humorous sifi flick. Writing, acting, and visuals all superb.

"Never Give Up. Never Surrender."

Krampus (2015) is still in theaters and is a lovely horror-comedy with both horror and comedy. The opening is near perfect with a mob of Black Friday shoppers trampling store clerks and fighting each other over sale items with everything set to the Bing Crosby version of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas."

I re-watched the first half of Death Proof last night. Those poor girls, what a horrible way to die....Kurt Russell is fantastic in this movie!

blunthead · Dec 16, 2015

Amigo Undead. (Not to be confused with Amigo Dead.) Watch an hilarious movie which was made for about $250.

XMen: Days of Future Past . It was awesome! Plus.......

Hugh Jackman rolling out of bed in all his glory.What's not to like?

Just finished re-watching Trading Places on Netflix. Couldn't tell you how many times I've seen it...lots! Looking for holiday movies to cheer me up. I actually felt bad for the old brothers at the end (I know they were wrong - I seem to feel bad for everyone! :a11:

)

Haven't seen this one. Love the first two (and Constance Bennett!). I like how they're ghosts, yet they keep on drinking just like nothing happened. Great stuff.

Of course not.

I'm sorry I was blunt. Your question was innocent. I'm a lousy reader, nothing compared to many SKMB members. I expect to spend eternity in the Clearing getting caught up reading.
