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.

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.

Awards season over!  Now, we can finally move onto 2025.

Hopefully, my being sick will be over soon as well.  I did nothing this week but sleep and feel miserable.  It was the perfect storm of asthma, congestion, hormonal pain, ankle pain, and — as of Sunday night — back pain.  I always tell myself that, whenever I get like this, I’m going watch a hundred movies.  It’ll be fun!  I’ll just stay on the couch and watch whatever.  Instead, I just end up feeling gripey and sleeping.

*sigh* Well, I’m running behind.  Here’s a quick week in review, from me to you, babe.

Films I Watched:

1. The Day Mars Invaded Earth (1961)
2. Gammera: The Invincible (1966)
3. Moonshine Country Express (1977)
4. The Seven-Ups (1973)
5. The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (1971)

Television Shows I Watched:

1. Dark
2. Devil In The Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke
3. Kitchen Nightmares
4. The Oscars

News From Last Week:

1. The big news has, of course, been the death of Gene Hackman.  Until we have more firms details on what happened, I have been avoiding the stories about the investigation into the death of him and his wife.  The speculation that I’ve seen online has just been too heart-breaking to consider.
2. The passing of Michelle Trachtenberg, at just 39, also broke the hearts of those of us who grew up alongside her on television.  I related to Dawn Summers.  Michelle had recently had a liver transplant and had been in poor health for a while.  The tabloid attempts to make her tragic death into something sordid was our media at its worst.
3. David Johansen of the New York Dolls and also the man who wrote Hot Hot Hot passed away at 75.  Remember Michael Scott singing, “Hot!  Hot!  Hot!” after returning from Jamaica?  A true New York character, Johansen was also an actor.  He’s in Scrooged, driving Billy Murray into the past.
4. Author Joseph Wambaugh died at 88.  I have several Wambaugh paperbacks in my collection.  I may give them a read and also watch the movies based on them over the upcoming month.  Brian Dennehy reportedly modeled his performance in Best Seller after Wambaguh.

1. Want To See What They Eat At The Academy Awards? Celebrate “Oscar Sunday” By Eating Food With The Stars! — I always enjoy John Rieber’s posts about what goes on behind the scenes!
2. At House M, find a look at Tituba, the first person convicted of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials.
3. The World’s Common Tater has a moving post about Adjusting, one to which I think we can all relate.

Click here for last week!  And hopefully, I’ll get more rest over this upcoming week so I can actually do a full week in review next Sunday!

I’ve got a cold, which is why I didn’t post my usual film reviews today.  It says something about how much I love doing all of this that I actually feel guilty about not doing so.  But I promised a lot of people that I would do a better job of taking care of myself in 2025 than I have in previous years.  So …. bleh, being sick sucks!

Been a busy week.  I’ll just say that I’ve enjoyed everything other than being sick.  The week started with a presidential inauguration and then, a few days later, the Oscar nominations were announced and now, tonight, my fever is breaking.
