Interests
Partying with friends and meeting new friends(often on the internet) - rodeo - salt water fishing - I love to cook
Movies
"Casablanca", "High Noon", "Fail Safe", "A Clockwork Orange", (can't list them but all of Stanley Kubrick's movies), "The Godfather", "Dirty Harry", "Unforgiven", "Heaven Can Wait"(both the b&w original and Warren Beatty's version), a number of WWII movies, like "Midway", "Patton", "Tora Tora Tora", "From Here to Eternity"(Lancaster, Sinatra, Clift, Borgnine, total guts movie version of a great book), Lee Marvin's "Point Blank" 2 other versions of this suck(...I crack up every time I see Marvin kill the telephone...), "Lonely are the Brave" with Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthau and a man who would become Archie Bunker on tv, "Silverado" a salute to old time westerns, Little Opie Cunningham's movies with Tom Hanks, "Ghost"(I know Swayze is a jerk, but this is my favorite superduper romantic movie and Whoopie is terrific). Quentin Tarrentino's movies are fascinating because of the timeline shifts."Pulp Fiction" is pure genius in spite of Vinnie Barbarino, the most overrated actor in the history of cinema. Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson keep remaking "DieHard" and "Lethal Weapon"...stop that! "Terminator" can keep on coming. "Alien" was the best sci-fi thriller of all time. Mel Brooks, where are you? Funny guy who makes funny movies. And "Dogma" set a new standard for comedy. I love movies! Can you tell?
Idols
Sgt.Clyde Malcom Robertson, the "ClueMan", a Houston cop who saved my life after I had thrown it away. Brought me back to the real world. Floyd DeLoach, another friend and Houston cop. He lost his life on duty. My son, Bert, born with half a heart he had the balls of a green beret. Dead before age 11, his spirit still fills the house - Bum Phillips(football coach) - Steve Jobs(he showed us the way) - Bill Russell(Number 6, cornerstone of Boston Celtic greatness) - Lala Markovich TPS#109888(branded as a bad guy at 19, his heart was pure. R.I.P.) - Elvis (before the Vegas days he was the Moses of Music)...Elvis led the way and set us free! He made rock and roll possible! His mistake was never acknowledging that Rock was a living, growing, evolving way to live. But without him there would never have been Link Wray (for those who are young, Link invented the power chord), The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Queen, Pearl Jam or the attitude about life we call Rock and Roll.
