Van Nuys

Happy heavenly birthday to the great Ingrid Bergman!

Anchors Outweigh

Happy heavenly birthday to the great Gene Kelly!

Today is the anniversary of the death of one of Hack’s heroes, the great Groucho Marx. It inspired him to write this book in tribute to the Marx Brothers. It’s not a bad read, but most critics thought it would have been better if he had left Zeppo in.

Jonny & Boris Meet Mannix

Happy heavenly birthday to 1970s TV icon Mike Connors!

Lifedoor

Happy heavenly birthday to the great Alfred Hitchcock!

Hack’s favorite Hitchcock film is the 1944 classic Lifeboat. He wrote this as a tribute to that film but he got confused midway into writing it and made it a tribute to the 1997 classic Titanic. It wound up being a ripoff of both films but it’s not a bad read.
