Easy Rider (1969, dir by Dennis Hopper, DP: Laszlo Kovacs)

I’ve been feeling better this week.  For whatever reason, the spring forward time change always agrees with me.  For the record, I gave up cursing for Lent (again).  “Since when do you curse?” my sisters said to me, again.  Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday are two of my favorite traditions.

Here’s what I watched this week:

News From Last Week:

1. Gene Hackman died of heart disease and his wife died of hantavirus, investigators say –What a heartbreaking story!  To be honest, this is more or less what I suspected happened after it was revealed that there were no signs of a gas leak.  Unfortunately, the online conspiracy theories are still going strong.  “Something doesn’t add up,” some people are saying on Twitter.  If you’ve ever had to care for someone with Alzheimer’s, the story totally adds up and is heart-breaking.
2. Oscars Audience Up To 19.69 Million After Disney Adds Mobile & PC Viewing — That’s still nothing to brag about.  The Oscars days as a annual television event are clearly numbered.
3. Peter Engel Dies At 88 — Rest in peace to the man who gave us Saved By The Bell and California Dreams.
4. Actress Pamela Bach Dies At 61 — She was David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife.
