This page is basically a placeholder for the stuff that doesn’t fit neatly somewhere else.
Can’t have clutter in the hallway, can we? Here are a few articles written for other magazines, now defunct, but their corpses still float in the ether…
- I was way ahead of the curve on the Mickey Rourke Redemption thing.
- An interview with Peter Wolf. Deej and Louise of Cosmik Debris always made my features come to life with creative formatting.
- The Herman Brood obituary. Never heard of him? You’re missing out on one of the great ones…I’ll put Cha Cha up against any live album you can name:
- Alice Effin Cooper interview. I go all fanboy at the end but Coop lets me off easy
- A rundown on Enuff Z’Nuff written in 2002; sadly it’s almost current.
- McNuggets written for NYC/London club pop rag TRANSACTION
- An almost-rant written for the first International Pop Overthrow (IPO) magazine.
You missed –
Mickey Rourke in “Get Carter”
A good movie – with Sylvester Stallone, Alan Cumming, John McGinley, Michael Caine & Rachael Lee Cook.
Mickey’s powerful and menacing – Scenes of brutal, realistic violence (and humor).
One of Stallone’s best roles. I say this knowing many of you (You culture snobs know who you are) dismiss him – but at the same time realizing that this is damning with faint praise. (The Tallest Mountain in Iowa…. Vanilla Ice’s Best Album… Ann Coulter’s Most Reasonable Argument…)
Underrated movie – not just a Stallone vehicle. And yes – I also saw the original… This is better.
I did see GET CARTER and Sly was good. Not COPLAND good, but better than most of his recent choices. My two lasting memories about that film are Sly’s awful shiny silver suit (yes, I know he’s supposed to be like a shark, you don’t have to drop a Wile E Coyote anvil on my head to make that point) and my amazement that he didn’t snap Alan Cumming in half within thirty seconds of his first appearance.
I probably could have slipped this into the “ones you probably missed” category for Mick as it wasn’t among his better work for me. Looks like Mr. Comeback is repaying the Sly favor by signing up for the new testosterone fest THE EXPENDABLES. Wonder if there will be ten lines of collective dialogue or just gruntin’n'shootin!
Doc – Not sure how to do this.
Check these tunes.
If this is not the way to ask,
I’ll ask which is the right way to ask.
