NOT QUITE RANDOM JUXTAPOSITION

Watching a few minutes of the 1947 melodramatic adaptation of GREEN DOLPHIN STREET, in which...if my memory serves me with oblique associations.......Lana and Donna's characters 'doll up' in Hollywood costume department's fashionable post WW2 Pastel tropical bird Couture, and are greeted by their mother's childhood beau...having cruised, with some "sexual/he's got some money" bent on his young hottie son.....and arrived, unannounced (!), over-dressed for this early in the morning....only to be greeted by Mom's 'ex', who makes sexist remarks, immediately.......calling them 'colorful fish'.....Everyone's 'manners' are pretentiously Nouveau Riche Bourgeoisie, posturing as 'our shit don't stink' upper class gold diggers......Some of the dialogue from this scene was lifted by Melvina Reynolds, for her tongue-in-cheek song about American Suburbanites, 'Little Boxes'......   This 'not quite random association' was a new observation....as was the association with Miles Davis' track, 'On Green Dolphin Street', from his Album, 'Kind Of Blue'.......Every 'association' is with the largesse of stored 'data', within the resources of our 'Inner Sanctums'........Even Lana's character, Marianne,  seemed right on the heels of Cora Smith, from the year before.......with a Lux Radio Theater 'costuming' upgrade by Walter Plunkett.......

Soon.....at your urban, local drive-in theaters.......free cheeseburgers, fries and cokes to the first million ticket-holders........

La Dolce Haggis ----What happened to Rupert Sanders?

What will happen with "The Juliet", Paul Haggis' proposed adaptation of the Alfred Bester short story, "Fondly Fahrenheit"? The movie's production was tossed around producers and directors for years....finally ending with Haggis as director.........Now, that Haggis is being placed on the 'noli me tangere' list...you guessed it.....for forcing women to their knees to service his knob..... will this production go South? Or, get another last minute director? Or, just be abandoned for it's infantile comic book plot line? I'm sure the last reason wouldn't be a consideration, as movie goers love Marvel Comics' film adaptations.......Maybe, if it were made, with it's principal female android wearing all black, to support current feminists' political correctness.........and ended with the male protagonist being decapitated by his 'step-down' androidess.....everything would be just hunky-dory....justice served to a populace that thrives on guilt and punishment......Caravaggio, get your hands off that boy's butt! Who do you think you are.......Leonardo DaVinci?

Vapid Fodder, Lifted from Comix Pages......Transformed by the Wonders of Technology.....but, still......Just leaping over tall buildings with a single bound.....

"I watched Wade Watts and his High Five both defeat plausibility and engender complicit deniability, as comics-reading/virtual gaming fantacizers, incapsulated in CGI-actuated-retro-nostalgia, fill their goggles and headsets with Alter-World displacements of the exigencies of Dulldrum and its replacements of excitement, super-powers and the considerable unthinking rewards of Deus Ex Machina,,,,,,,,,The escapist fare looked great!.... It IS all about the surfactants, isn't it.......with the catalyst of unquestioning adolescence, buying this all up...then rushing out to Circuit City for the latest escape mechanism.... Now....clean up all this crap and do your trig homework or move out and get a job wrangling your plastic trash into the garbage pickup truck.....and McDonald's needs drive-through window order takers, you know!...."

Sincerely, your parents, King Kong and Godzilla, recently wed.. to legitimize their many offspring...[recently, in a lake of molten discarded electronic circuit boards and batteries, as The Iron Giant melts like The Terminator, and the enormous gorilla with lifelike fur dissolves in evanescent, liquid Imagination.....
