Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf has been dead for four days, so it's about time I wrote something about the dude.

It will take a few years for someone to write the screenplay, and someone to raise the money to make the biopic about Marvin Lee Aday. Wonder who will play the leading role? No doubt Tom Hanks will do it. He'll gain 150 pounds and shave 35 years off his face. He'll have a vocal chord transplant. He'll win another Oscar.

If there is anyone left on Planet Earth who hasn't seen Meat Loaf's music video "Paradise By the Dashboard Light," or maybe it's been some time since you watched it, here is a link to YouTube:

Now and then an artist will capture my imagination because they did something unique and did it well. Meat Loaf was one of those.

People get old and die. Mostly that doesn't bother me, but now and then...

Don't Look Up!

 Netflix movie "Don't Look Up" has a bunch of A-list actors in it. The premise, as I read it, is that a comet is on a collision course with Earth and nobody seems to give much of a shit. Sounded stupid, but then DiCaprio, Lawrence, Blanchett, Hill, Streep, et al made me watch it.

Sounded stupid because it is stupid.

It's a disaster movie. And it's funny as hell. Total sarcasm, heaping scorn on world leaders who can't be bothered with saving the world if there is a buck to be made ignoring the science. Heaping scorn on those who blindly follow said leaders.

Stupid movie. I loved it.
