Basketball Diaries 9/365

My father took me to see it and he should not. I remember him hemming and hawing at everything and finally leaving me alone in the theater as he walked because LDC was in a bathroom stall getting a blowjob. This pretty much guaranteed a young like would become obsessed and watch it a million more times. I really dug the soundtrack and moved onto reading and listening to Jim Carroll's works.

M*A*S*H 6/365

Today Trump fans went bonkers and stormed The Capitol because they are idiots and believe in what a moron told them about election fraud. So I got nothing. Here's the trailer for the movie that started the show that went on for 11 years. I've never seen any of either but with this new disc means a viewing is in my future.

Purple People Eater 3/365

Much like with Just One of the Guys introduced me to the musical great James Brown; this movie showed me Little Richard and Chubby Checker. By the time I saw this movie which was originally released December 16, 1988 I knew who Screech was but The Doog had not received his doctorate yet. Thora Birch makes her acting debut and later babysit an ape and show her boobs to the neighbor boy. Her best claim to fame has to just be that she hung out with Christina Ricci while making Then & Now. Anyway, the great Ned Beatty is in this and he oddly enough has Deliverance as the credit on the back of the box.

The Quick and the Dead 2/365

The great Sam Rami brought in DiCaprio, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russel Crowe, Keith David, Lt. Dan, Lance Hendriksen, and of course Bruce Campbell for this fantastic and highly underrated western. This also stars the girl from The Torkelsons, which should be on Disney+.
