DEAR NYU AND KIDS

Yes, I've become that mean no fun man you may have had as a neighbor in the past. I never thought I would become this. When did I stop being tolerant of the folly of youth? When did Shirley Valentine... become this! Look, I want people to have fun but here's a rundown of the shade from these brats: Broken skylight this summer (mine), cheap beer and cigarette butts on my terrace AND (this is what did it for me) when they move in and out of the building (there's a high turnover in my chain of bldgs) NONE ever say hello in the hall. And they don't have headphones on. Complete ignore. LIKEI SAAAAAAID, HELLO! I haven't gone there with them. It took everything in me not to swear in this note. I think the beer in one of my new sneakers just did it. It showed bitterness jealousy and hatred towards something I love: stupid sneakers. Ok, so I want one of their cigarettes. Whatever, next time they're up there I'm going up in underwear and boots with a broom and shaving cream in my mouth - and a camera.


I actually took it down a few hrs later. I couldn't hate like that. I'm contacting management instead and having an alarm door put on, possibly electrified.

WHY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE NUTS?

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HELEN? LINK

A LOT. Same goes for the the production of this truly golden rotten movie from 1971 - one of my absolute favorites. For one, I love anything with Shelly Winters in it (even if she doesn't drown in the film, which she usually does). I've been considering a tattoo of her name written in the font from the band Judas Priest, but someone told me I should get one of her swimming underwater in the Poseidon Adventure.

The plot is totally out there: The mothers of two convicted male teenage murderers (Shelly Winters & Debbie Reynolds) just sort of bump into each other and become friends while sharing a cab home from their prospective sons murder trials! I always thought this was a gay couple subtext because they go on and on with each other about trying to accept their two murderous sons and how they don't understand it, yet love them. From the start of the movie, Shelly had received a cut on her hand from a mad stalker while trying to struggle out of the courthouse. The two women take the cab in the middle of the night to Debbie's place, which is a children's dance studio. They get creepy threatening calls and see a creepy man across the street in a raincoat. They decide that the only thing to do is to join forces and start a new life.. SO they move to Hollywood and open a little girls Shirley Temple dance school!!! Unfortunately, Shelly can't hold it together and nuts up throughout the movie, climaxing during their Shirley Temple dance performance for the NRA!!!! (of course).
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the latent dandy of a queen supporting role character actor who hams up the entire movie by creeping up on Shelly Winters over and over in the movie - to her terror - then he apologizes for startling her, asks her a mundane question and walks away! Work!
"Whoever Slew Auntie Roo" is on the other side of the cd, is rotted, but not as good.
