HEY LISTENERS!! NEW TIME! MOSTLY MOVIES IS NOW ON WEDNESDAYS AFTER THE 4PM NEWS, FROM 4:10 TO 5PM. WRCR 1300AM.
5/7/09 06:46 pm
A few weeks ago we touched on a subject which got the phones mad ringing! I can't really tell you now how it started but the subject was a negative term for a "loose man", something that is actually derogatory. People called in like crazy but I'm still not sure we came up with anything too close to what I was looking for.
For women, it was easy, we came up with:
tramp wench strumpet harlot whore loose woman hussy tart baggage stattern and of course there are probably hundreds more.
For men:
seducer manwhore Casanova don juan lady killer player gigolo philanderer unemployed along with many more that I probably should not repeat, mostly regarding his anatomy. I don't know, I'm not sure any are as mean spirited as names for women. They all seem like a title a man would wear proudly. Any other suggestions?
OK, feel better now, had to get that out there. Just a comment on society.......

Recently I have seen a bunch of movies from Netflix : ( Some I liked more that others.
Rabbit-Proof Fence - a wonderful, sad and amazing story of 4 Australian girls who are taken from their homes and placed in an abusive orphanage and then take on a 1500 mile journey to return home. Great!
Mysterious Skin - Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Third Rock From the Sun) and Brady Corbet star in this drama of two very different teens who have something in common in young childhood and seek each other out to make sense of it. Very interesting.
Cinema Paradiso - This film won an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. It is a drama about a very young boy who's life dream is to become a projectionist in a movie theater which comes about much earlier than anyone anticipates because of a tragic accident. Wonderful acting, wonderful film.
The Straight Story - An odd documentary collaboration between Disney and director David Lynch (Eraserhead, Twin Peaks)which sets Oscar nominated Richard Farnsworth on the road with nothing but a lawn mower and a tent to travel 6 weeks to see his ailing brother. Terrific!
Delicatessen - A foreign film in which a young clown moves into an apartment which houses a Deli on the first floor. He falls in love with the Deli owner's daughter who has to decide if she should be loyal to her father or try to save the clown from becoming someone's dinner a la Sweeney Todd.
Four Rooms - A night in a hotel, four rooms, four directors, each tells a story in one of the rooms. Madonna plays a witch in one of the rooms, no further comment necessary.
Torch Song Trilogy - Harvey Fierstein brings his Tony winning play to the big screen. Also staring Matthew Broderick and (thankfully) Anne Bancroft. The trials and tribulations of being gay with an overbearing Jewish mother in today's world. Maybe pertinent when released but now it just sounds like a lot of whining.

Amy Winehouse: Get your sorry ass back to rehab, and STAY there!
Tom Cruise: RELEASE KATIE! Please! (I think it's already too late for Suri.)
Nichole Ritchie: We miss your party girl ways, but you're doing good, mommy!
Paris Hilton: We haven't heard from you in a while, give us some dish, we need a reason to laugh, better yet, just keep making those bad movies.
Britney Spears: Keep it together girl, some of us still believe in you. But if you're gonna fall apart, do it big again, OK?
Madonna: Just go away.
Winona Ryder: Whatever it is, if it's not yours put it down now, and step away.
Big Jim Wheeler: Keep playin that rock and roll, keep doin what you been told!
You listeners: Keep listening, we love you!!!

I just saw "Young @ Heart", a documentary about a chorus in New England, median age of 80, that sings everything from the Ramones, Talking Heads, the Outkast, to James Brown. Absolutely awesome!!! I bonded with everyone! Truly inspiring! Makes the golden years look not quite so bad. I highly recommend it.


You can view the trailer here at the top of the blog.

I've been asked to do a guest spot on The Simpsons, what do you think?

Fun show this week!We had our contest "What to name those little yellow 45 record adapter things". We got three callers with three names; Gina called with "stayputter", Cathleen called with "circle filler", and Spats with "a little spinner". The $10 New York scratch off lottery ticket went to Cathleen and we hope she wins a bundle! (I personally liked "hole smallener" but I wasn't allowed to compete.) We also learned that they have been referred to as "spiders".
Paul Newman, nuf said. So sad.
It was a pretty good gossip week; Britney's being Britney- sex tape and all, David Ducovney is in rehab for an addiction to sex, and Heath Ledger's daughter is for now being denied an inheritance due to insurance company questions.
And why do I report on Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse and Paris Hilton all the time? Why not! It's a lot more interesting that what most of us do everyday and isn't it nice to know that other family's are more dysfunctional than our own? And let's face, often it's just plain funny!
I suggest that everyone check out: www.simpsonizeme.com I haven't yet but this looks brilliant!
So, ta ta for now, see ya next week!

Sorry it's been so long! Yes I've been busy. Just wanted to thank everyone who called in this week! It was a fun show. Thanks for all the info on those little yellow things that go into your 45 records and don't forget our contest for a $10 scratch off ticket for creatively naming those little yellow things. Be creative!
Just had to post this picture! Lego is celebrating their 30th anniversary by putting celebrity faces on their little people. (Not available to us general public!!!) This one is by far my favorite.

Three movies have been on my mind lately, don't ask me why cause I don't know. Anyway I would consider all three to be thrillers. Each are very different from each other but have a similar feel, sort of Hitchockian. All three have somewhat surprising endings, at least I didn't see it coming.
1- Identity (2003),John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Rebecca DeMorney, Ray Liotta, Jake Busey A group of people are stranded at a small, remote motel on a very stormy night when individuals start to disappear and then are found murdered. No not, just a remake of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians".
2- Phone Booth (2002), Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, Katie Holmes A man is held hostage in a phone booth by a sniper. This script was actually pitched to Alfred Hitchcock but he couldn't figure out how to keep someone stranded this long.
3- Butterfly Effect (2004), Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart A man's past seen from many different angles, which one is reality?
All three are edge-of-the-seaters in different ways.

Update on the Kylie Brandt case... The recent arrest last Wednesday night of a well known Long Island call girl, Satin Frisse, turned up a "little black book" filled with alleged clients names. Coincidentally, one name listed was none other than Judge Filipe Lopez, the Weymouth County District Judge, currently hearing the infamous Kylie Brandt case.
Judge Lopez has since recused himself from the Brandt case. Although he has not, himself, publicly stated why, it would seem to be due to a conflict of interest.

Many people feel that the "Golden" age of Hollywood is something in the past. I agree that one golden age is over, but I feel that there are actors today that have the same amount of style, grace and character as those that we idolize from yesteryear.
Will Smith - a true movie star (so far), he keeps his private life to himself, no scandals, just good acting, always has a smile for the paps and his fans.
Angelina Jolie - has had her issues in the past but it looks like she has grown out of that stage. If she sticks to her current course I believe she will shine in the future.
Leonardo DiCaprio - is proving himself to be an excellent actor and handles himself with dignity, as well as caring about issues like global warming shown by "11th Hour".
Kate Hudson - is a true movie star. She has made it on her own validity without help from her famous mom or dad. She is a lady.
Scarlett Johansson - the youngest of this group, and not a sure thing, she's had her small scandals, but has pulled through and is shining. She's got the style and the grace.

Is there anything better to do??? I guess there are different levels, like when you are puking it is kinda hard to remember to keep hitting the pause button and then you miss stuff. But when you are sick and a few notches above just staring at the ceiling, then there is nothing better than some good movies.
What I watched:
King of Kong - documentary about the great international Donkey Kong tournament of 2007. These guys take video games very seriously (notice "guys", not one girl), and they are grown men. Not as fun as "Spellbound" 2003 (about a spelling bee) or "Wordplay" 2006 (about a crossword puzzle competition).
Smiley Face - Ah, Anna Faris. When she first started acting she concentrated only on drama, her breakout movie..... "Scary Movie". She had no idea she was funny! This is a mega stoner film and anyone who has ever smoked (and inhaled) will identify with it.
Talented Mr. Ripley - the feel is very reminiscent of Cary Grant in "To Catch a Thief". The old "kill him and take his place" routine. Not half bad but I prefer Cary Grant.
Across The Universe - OK no one likes to hear a great band's "interpretation" done by anyone else but that band. But let's just say that there is a whole generation out there of kids who will not listen without that interpretation. These are lyrics with messages that we, those who lived through the changes of the 60's, feel the importance of. How else to present these topics and ideas to another generation but to interpret them in a way that this generation will listen? I think this movie did an excellent job of trying to convey some very important issues about war, peace, love, discrimination to a generation who really needs to hear it in a way that they could. For myself, I am sad that the movie didn't do better, and not so many ears will hear.
28 Weeks Later - follow up to Danny Boyle's "28 Days Later". Lacks the introspection of the first but adds more action. My current favorite of this genre is "I am Legend" with Will Smith, but take into account that I fell asleep for some of "28 Weeks Later", hey I'm sick OK!!
