I saw a wonderful film with no villain just last night: GENTLEMAN JIM starring Errol Flynn. Not only does it have no villain. It practically has no conflict either. Despite all that, it's a wonderful film and one of Flynn's best performances.
I've seen Leone's Once Upon A Times's and the first Clint Eastwood movie. I remember little or nothing about any of them. I remember vaguely liking Once Upon A Time In The West, but I've never been able to sit all the way through it again since that first viewing.
I get out to eat maybe once a week (probably two of those times a month are with BK). I used to go out once a week with pals Larry Drake and Pat Skelton (was once Wally on All My Children), but though we keep saying we have to revive that ritual, we haven't gotten around to it. Maybe this will be the impetus.
I read a lot of non-fiction history and theatre. I'm currently reading LONDON, the Wicked City, a fascinating study of London's sexual history from William the Conqueror on up. So it deals with all sorts of criminal activity. I also have a huge collection of Jack the Ripper material...the best of which is The Complete Jack the Ripper by Donald Rumbelow, whose guided tour of Ripper haunts I took.
