I'm reading today's posts backwards. It's just like MERRILLY WE ROLL ALONG, except without songs.

I had forgotten that the Carroll Baker character had a crush on Jed Rink.

I hope you'll not be heartbroken when you get to the end (beginning), and see all the potential and promise that was wasted.

Speaking of Mr. James Dean, TPunk won a book at some function the other day and gave it to me: "Live Fast, Die Young, the Wild Ride of Making Rebel Without a Cause." Anyone read this? Is it worthwhile? Published in 2005.

Today I went to Costco with DR WFO and his Joe. They are not members andwer quite impressed with all the bargains.

When we got to the DVD section we found the Charlie Chan Collection for $36.95 and collections of movies by Mae West , Clark Gable, Betty Grable ... no Bollywood movies though (we checked!)

Oh yes she did....and of course Carroll (Luz II) and Jimmy (Jett) knew each other back in New York before they both became movie stars....

She writes lovingly of him in her autobiography.

JRand- Is that Adam Long the fellow we once saw singing as Elvis in the World of Wisdom bookstore?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #159 on:** June 25, 2006, 07:50:57 PM »

My mom will drive 20 miles out of her way to Costco to fill up her gas tank.

Haven't read it....didn't even know it existed! A chronicle of the dysfunctional rabble that made REBEL should be interesting.

You knew of course, that the Mansion in the swimming pool sequence was the same one used in Sunset Blvd?

LOL...no that was my nephew C.J. who has a band and a whole LOT of hair. Adam is another musician friend of mine.

let's see, what else do I know....I hate that commercial that says "Head On, apply directly to your head. Head On, apply directly to your head. Head On, apply directly to your head" It gives me a headache

LOL, DR Cillaliz! I was going to mention that one, too! And what's it for, anyway? A topical headache remedy? Or a roll-on applicator to get rid of unibrow?

Head On, apply directly to your head.
Head On, apply directly to your head.
Head On, apply directly to your head.

Got to admit, it's kind of catchy.

The ones on Long Island (well at least the 3 I frequent) do not have gas stations.

Bu they do have WONDERFUL spit roasted chicken. I picked one up for dinner and WFO and Jee thought they might try one as well. Just as we were finishing our dinner I received a phone call from WFO,"What a great chicken!"

Reminds me of the Monkees movie HEAD.

Supposedly, they titled it that so if there was a sequel the ads could say, "From the people who gave you HEAD..."

I have never heard of "Head on"

Rodzinski · « **Reply #168 on:** June 25, 2006, 07:57:47 PM »

Didn't know that, JRand—about the mansion, that is.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #169 on:** June 25, 2006, 07:57:50 PM »

Annette Funicello was in HEAD.

LP cover of the night...

This cover itself is not so interesting, but the record is. This guy put out several albums where he wrote songs for different women's names. All the covers look like this, only the names change. The songs are all unique; that is to say he did not merely insert different women's names into the same music. This particular LP contains an oddity: A song called "World Peace."

It appears to be a migraine remedy... not Rodzinski's first choice perhaps, but could be handy in a pinch

Which is what he was wishing for when all his girlfriends found out about each other!

Yes. Makes a nice double bill with Frankie Avalon in SKIDOO.

And if you look closely, you can still see William Holden floating in the center of the pool.

But seriously, the Gay and Lesbian book club (Insight Out Book Club) has highly recommended the book for the past several months.

Gay and Lesbian Book Club? What next? They'll be wanting the vote!

Seems Gordon Thomas is still alive, and someone has made a movie about him. Check out gordonthomas.com
He's 90 years old if that site is current.
