Get ready to celebrate the 4th of July with this collection of “American” pulp!
Warner Brothers pulled out all the stops for their 1940 epic THE SEA HAWK. There’s dashing Errol Flynn swashbuckling his way across the Silver Screen once again, the proverbial cast of thousands, high seas action, romance, political intrigue, superb special effects, and a spirited score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. The only thing missing that could’ve possibly made this movie better is Technicolor, but since Jack and his bros had already spent $1.7 million (equivalent to almost thirty million today) to produce it, why quibble?

Apparently, today is American Redneck Day. That’s one of those holidays that I didn’t even know existed until I came across it on a fun little site called Checkiday.
Now, myself, I’m not a redneck. Neither is Erin. But we’ve got enough rednecks in our family that I think we’ve both earned the right to take off work and celebrate this holiday. I’m not sure how exactly one celebrates American Redneck Day, to be honest. I’ll probably listen to All Summer Long once or twice and maybe I’ll watch some YouTube videos of people shooting beer cans. That should be fun.
Anyway, this video is called Redneck Yacht Club and it really makes me want to go up to the lake this weekend.
Enjoy!
