While the parade of corn-fed, whip-raised, beer drinking fat men and their husky voiced women in oversized jerseys goes by outside.... I am neatly tucked away - curled up on my couch with Lola, under an antique 10-point elk head listening to Tommy Dorsey's (swinging) Hawaiian War Chant on the record player while watching Charles Bronson in the original Death Wish on AMC.





I don't know if I'm supposed to care about the Super Bowl
just by default, but the idea of getting excited about a bunch of guys who don't (and couldn't) give a shit about you, throw around a pigskin and wrestle each other for fame and a fucking ugly ring doesn't get me all riled up. I'm sorry if it's your team playing today, or if you are a huge sports fanatic (this is my blog, so again - fuck the Super Bowl).

Remember what Sonny told a young and impressionable Calogero in Deniro's A Bronx Tale about what Yankee great Mickey Mantle thought about C's old man driving a bus?

*cue screenplay*

Mickey Mantle?
That's what you're upset about?

Mantle makes $________ a year.
How much does your father make?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

If your dad needs money, go ask
Mickey Mantle. See what happens.

Mickey Mantle don't care about
you. Why care about him?

Nobody cares.
---------------------

Meanwhile you're asking: "and Charles Bronson and his antique mustache shooting off his gun (forgive me I've forgotten her name) in the name of judge, jury, and executioner does get your blood pumping?"

Me: Why yes, he does. In fact it tickles me pink that in the third Death Wish movie, the gangsters were running amock all over the city before Bronson got his gat mailed to him in a wooden box - some of the "gangsters" using plungers as their weapon of choice... can you pick them out in the crowd?

So in closing, The Superbowl can blow me... I could go on about the bullshit phenomena that is the parallel between the world of "professional" sports these days and what has become of hip-hop and fake rap "stars" as of late, but no thanks.

I first saw that at the drive-in years ago and loved it. Good choice over football any day.

There were probably five guys, including three in the trunk, one of whom was me. Didn't know Jill then but I know she would have been up for it. In the trunk even.

I always found it funny that they shot most of the 'urban' scenes for Death Wish III in London.

Around the 3 minute mark on this clip.

yeah man. the neighbor has his pal (the village idiot) over. you should hear how he started literally crying when there was a bad call made. "fuck fuck fuuuuuuuuuuuuck noooooo *whimper* *high-pitched shriek*" - i could understand if he had money on the game. i could definitely understand if it was over $1,000.00 (i think)... he might as well be getting married on warcraft or cybersexing on second life... on the bronson note - i originally got into his flicks because my uncle, who immigrated here in '82 or '83, would ALWAYS rent his movies... so fridays (when i lived in la) i would be over there and watching them all with him. it was good times and looking back on it, i realize how much i miss them (and him).

My favorite scene is in pt 2 when Lawrence Fishburn tries to use the ghetto blaster as a sheild... and gets his face split like a pumpkin. Fuckin classic, the only good thing about the superbowl is the commercials, anyway.

that was probably one of my faves too. i completely forgot that that was fishburn. tre's dad. "gimme the gun, tre. gimme the gun, son." i can't believe he used to be the mailman on pee-wees playhouse. come to think of it, i need the dvd boxset of that show... and agreed - on the commercials.
