Came up with an idea for an op-ed about Kant. This will be good.
Acquired a copy of everything Dylan Thomas ever recorded for the price of a coffee.
Saw a list that clearly a lot of thought and input went into that tries to determine the 100 best New York Yankees of all-time. I didn't agree with the top ten very much and have now created my own top ten list of Yankees, which I'll put up on here later.
Today is Hugh Beaumont's birthday. I like that The Mole People--in which Beaumont starred in 1956--is on Blu-ray. Blu-ray! So you can see the zippers on the backs of their costumes better.
The Mole People is exactly the kind of film that Beaver Cleaver would have gone to on Leave It to Beaver. Maybe he went to a rerelease and saw a guy who looked like his dad and thought, "Hey!"
Beaumont starred in one really good film, that being the Val Lewton-produced The Seventh Victim from 1943, which Rosemary's Baby--a movie that puts me to sleep--borrowed heavily from.
Lucas McCain fires twelve shots during the opening of The Rifleman, but they dubbed in the sound of an extra shot. A baker's dozen of rifle shot sounds.
Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy came out and all of the critics thought it was juvenile, immature, gross, and beneath them. You know who was a big fan of the book, though? George Washington. Yes, that George Washington.
Head work on "Friendship Bracelet" and "The Late, Living Mrs. Rinaldi."
