The famous opening tracking shot in "Touch of Evil" was set in a border town called Los Robles, but actually filmed in Venice.

 

[stringertom]

Central Florida is obviously the setting for the upcoming Showtime series On Becoming A God In Central Florida but location shooting was done in Louisiana. First episode airs August 25.

The rapper Flo-Rida debuted 'Low' with little fanfare [promotion] and no previous recording studio to back his effort yet is now the 'it' guy of Hip Hop.

 

[stringertom]

Iconic hip hop and pop:rock producer Rick Rubin is featured in the Showtime documentary series Shangri La, named for his Malibu estate/recording studio that attracts talent to be guided by the guru-like reflective current day genius that has very little similarity in appearance or attitude with the days of The Beastie Boys.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

I wonder if Rick Rubin likes Reuben sandwiches. If so, he can drive south down the PCH, and eventually head east for Canter's on Fairfax.

 

[Vcore89]

I'm now salivating for a Reuben sandwich and Stella Artois at The Buena Vista.

 

[stringertom]

I salivate like a Pavlov dog for a decent historian to write about Black Tom Fairfax, who was probably the most overlooked hero in English history

The historical account might include tales from the land of Bushmills in Northern Ireland, where Black Bush is plentiful, but I gave up both whiskey and black bush.

"Suck It and See"

 

[stringertom]

Stringytom & The Vortexians offered this tune to the noted auteur DreddyTennis45 as the soundtrack for the upcoming project Sureshs: Tennis Legend 3.0. Here are the lyrics:

Well, Suck it up baby now
Jiggle and shout
Come on, come on come on baby now
Come on and spray it out
Well spray it on out, Suri
Well, you look so good now
You got me going now
Like I knew you could...

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Twist and Shout is a pretty good, but depressing Danish film from the 1980s.

 

[stringertom]

The 1980s in Britain is the setting for Blinded By The Light, a film about how the music of Bruce Springsteen inspired a teenage Indian immigrant during some rough times growing up while squeezed by the twin pressures of his traditional parents on one side and racial prejudice in school and social situations on the other side.

 

[Sentinel]

squeezed by the twin pressures

Sounds a lot like poor JollyDolly ewe no wear.

Blackstone is one of the world's leading investment firms with $545 billion Assets Under Management .

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

I read the news today, oh boy
4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on

 

[Vcore89]

It's just another day in paradise.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Reminds me of what a Swedish girl I knew always sang when drunk.

 

[stringertom]

Swedish girls that sang when younger stringytom occasionally had an adult beverage or three were named Agnetha and Anne-Frid. Björn and Benny just blended into the background.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Björn at Studio 54.

 

[stringertom]

Björn at Studio 54.

Björn and Vitas just needed a wingman with a name starting with a “D” so they could market a sexy lingerie line to rival big name but not so sexy BVD.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

DMV or *shudder* UPS lingerie is a bad idea, but Marloes could pull it off.

Ed Wood

Elwood Blues and his brother Jake were 106 miles from Chicago, had a full tank of gas, a half pack of cigarettes, it was dark and they were wearing sunglasses. They were on a mission!

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Elwood Blues and his brother Jake were 106 miles from Chicago, had a full tank of gas, a half pack of cigarettes, it was dark and they were wearing sunglasses. They were on a mission!

Speaking of 1980s films, the protagonists in "Risky Business" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" were also from Chicago, on a mission, and wore sunglasses. Chicago must have been a shady city.

 

[Vcore89]

^^ I'm guessing but is that Mathew Broderick?

Sunglasses on the Mira Mesa Maestro Mistress

Maria’s crush on the Mira Mesa Maestro drove Grigolo Dimitrough from there bed anne wuz allsew the catalist four maiking Sugarpova the gyant itt haz beecum inn the sweets mark itt.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Blue Crush stars Kate Bosworth, who only has eyes for the San Diego Bageler, and they are heterochromatic!

Kate was once asked if her Maestro hung eleven when they surfed together at Black's Beach. She replied, "Eleven?! That thing goes way, way past eleven!!!"

Heather Graham was very disappointed when she learned that she didn't get the Maestro's Big Banger stringing job.

Heather wuz grate as Rollergirl in Boogie Nights, az wuz mye favorite redhead Julianne Moore but the aforementioned Nina Hartley topped them both with two lines to her husband Little Bill when he interrupted her bedroom liaison with another man:

Her non-speaking purrphormance in the driveway with another guy reely got Little Bill worked up to seigh the pholliwing dyslexic phrase:

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Robert Altman liked his cast to reveal their emotions, which Julianne Moore did in Short Cuts along with her short cuts. The film was loosely based on a collection of Raymond Carver short stories.

"Dom Pérignon and a Pig"

 

[stringertom]

"Dom Pérignon and a Pig"

A pig in a poke experience should be avoided if the buyer is beware.

 

[Vcore89]

A pig is not a pyg but,

Pygmalion is a mythological figure indtroduced by George Bernard Shaw in his play.

Pygmalion and Aphrodite.

 

[stringertom]

Aphrodite In Blue Jeans wouldn’t have appealed to 60s teenagers as much as the hit song with Venus subbed in for the Greek goddess.

 

[Vcore89]

Mira Sorvino and Woody Allen in Mighty Aphrodite.

Speaking of Woody--and I love his films, for instance, Scoop, where Scarlett Johansson stars--reminds me of one of the many witticisms he's dispensed through the years: “Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym.” Take that Immanuel Kant!

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

"Match Point" with Scarlett Johansson

 

[Vcore89]

Every Woody/Scarlett film I watch religiously but in the case of Match Point, well my gripe was the quality of tennis ... it left a lot to be desired.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

"The Bageler Does San Diego" will be the talk of Cannes in 2020. The Maestro's lovemaking scenes with Maria Sharapova are mesmerizing and transcendental, and the quality of tennis leaves nothing to be desired. It is the "Sideways" of AYCE buffets.

 

[Vcore89]

. . . for a while I thought I was cross-eyed when I read ''The Maestro's dressmaking scenes with Maria Sharapova are mesmerizing and transcendental'' . . .

The Maestro makes tents, knot dresses. Ewe are punch drunque frum watching the Charge of The Phat Brigade overhead backhand smash droop lob from behind the baseline.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

The Maestro used to design for the other Maria, before handing over the reins to Stella McCartney so that he could focus on his self-proclaimed only three loves in life: tennis, eating and sleeping.

MAESTRO'S PINK & GREEN COLOR SCHEME

 

[Vcore89]

It's a pinker!

 

[stringertom]

A Scottish immigrant, Allan Pinkerton, established a security firm in Chicago in 1850 that specialized in strikebreaking for their large industrial magnate clients including another Scottish immigrant Andrew Carnegie. Another Scot, Sean Connery had a leading role in the film The Molly Maguires that depicted one of their more famous operations vs Irish coal miners in Pennsylvania. Connery plays the victim to the nefarious Pinkerton agent played by Richard Harris.
