Renaissance 2.0
One of my favorite movies of all-time is “Somewhere in Time” starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. It was written by one of my favorite writers, Richard Matheson and based on his book “Bid Time Return”. He’s mostly known for his work on Rod Serling’s “Twilight Zone” series. His most well known episode being “Nightmare…
It’s a beautiful summer day in Atlanta as the kids swim with their cousins Diona and Collin. These are wonderful memories they’ll have forever. So will I.
We lost Farrah Fawcett (62) and Michael Jackson (50) today. They were two massive icons from my youth. We all knew Farrah was battling cancer so it wasn’t as much as a shock as Michael’s sudden passing. I was kid when I fell for the golden girl Farrah on Charlie’s Angels. So did the whole…
“Creator” (1985) starring Vincent Spano, Peter O’Toole, Virginia Madsen and Mariel Hemingway is a delightful romantic comedy that had a most interesting premise. It centered around a mad scientist (O’Toole) who tries to re-create his late wife via cloning. Yes, it was way ahead of its time. Yes, it was a crazy idea because he…
I really liked “Little Darlings” starring Kirsty McNichol and Tatum O’Neal and a young Matt Dillon (15?). It’s a fun coming of age tale centered around a serious subject matter, virginity. Basically, it’s about a rich girl and poor girl who make a bet to see who could lose their virginity first while at camp….
Despite all personal flaws, Frank Lloyd Wright was an amazing architect and fascinating person. I love his unique, original works that took architecture to the next level. He was an artist with a most original pallet. By far, my favorite design was his signature creation, “Falling Water”. Here’s a brief tour of this incredible masterpiece
I find Ayn Rand so fascinating! Her philosophies and writing have captivated countless people and will continue to do so forever. Here’s an intriguing interview of Ayn Rand by Mike Wallace (from 60 minutes fame) some 50 years ago in 1959! She and her writing are timeless. Here’s Ayn with Tom Snyder almost 20…
Here’s the classic “I Can See Clearly Now” by Johnny Nash. The original video of him singing this on the streets of Washington DC is no longer on Youtube or anywhere else for some reason. This video is from the Mightnight Special from 1973. It’s hard to not feel good after hearing this song. It…
I love this music used in an old Prego spaghetti sauce commercial. The mp3 was on their website for a long time but sadly not anymore. The music was composed by David Horowitz and the violin solo was done by Regis Landiorio. It’s so Italian and makes me feel so at home. I can smell…
I just watched “He’s Just Not That Into You” and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had expected it to be lightweight and kind of a chick flick but it was neither. There was plenty in this well-written story for men and women both. Lots of laughs but there were some surprisingly touching scenes and serious themes….
