My Pug Boris

Happy heavenly birthday to the great Carole Lombard! Hack didn’t have any ideas today and since My Man Godfrey is one of my favorite movies and it struck me how some of my favorite Jonny Pals would be perfectly cast in it, I pitched this. Hack agreed to write it on the provision that the mother be depicted as Marx Bros. movie grande dame Margaret Dumont.

That’s the kind of bickering that goes on around here all goddamned day.

From Dusk Till Dong

Happy birthday to Salma Hayek, star of From Dusk Till Dawn, a fun but forgettable vampire movie (with a historically awful acting performance by its screenwriter Quentin Tarantino) made memorable by Ms. Hayek’s turn as a stripper named Santanico Pandemonium. The scene in which she dances with an 11-foot python at a strip club called The Titty Twister inspired Hack to include it on his list of the 10 greatest films ever made.
