Keep ANDREW in the HUNT!!
Today's the big day and the heat is on for "On the Lot"! It's time to
circle them wagons and bring in the votes for our boy Andy Hunt!!
This is the most intense week so far so he needs all our help to stay
in the game.
As always, we are gathering en masse at Gabby's to PACK the joint and
ROCK the vote. I've talked with the news and they are pumped about
swinging by and checking out the shenanigans. So make sure to dig up
the Hunting gear, bring the blaze orange and camouflage, charge up
them cell phones and come on by. I am making banners to wave around
as well, so we'll be ready for them when they show up.
Gabby's is ready for us with 2 for 1 specials all night and all the
big screens tuned in to the show!!
The show starts at 7:00 PM so come join the fun!!
See ya there!

Lord Love a Duck
I watched the strangest movie the other night. Lord Love a Duck (1966) on AMC. It was directed by George Axelrod. It starred Roddy McDowall, Tuesday Weld, and Ruth Gordon.
Axelrod began as a successful writer of Broadway sex farces, such as The Seven Year Itch, filmed in 1955 by Billy Wilder with Marilyn Monroe. He also wrote adaptations, for Blake Edwards' Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), based on Truman Capote's novella, and John Frankenheimer's mordant thriller, The Manchurian Candidate (1962).
I like all of those movies so I figured why not? This was just one of the oddest films I've ever seen. I can't stop thinking about it. It went from being a slapstick comedy to bitter condemnation of the cult of personality to extremely black comedy and ends up just trashing socila norms and society. The film leaps in and out of these genre's pretty deftly I might add.
Check it sometime. It's worth watching.
