years ago i was renting something from Mondo Kim’s & the movie the clerks were watching happened to be playing the most beautiful song I’d ever heard: Sarà perché ti amo by Ricchi e Poveri, which scores a race riot in SPIKE OF BENSONHURST. Screen Slate: screenslate.com/articles/spike…

My late father adored TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE and JEREMIAH JOHNSON. They immediately came to mind w/the news of the passing of their iconic leading man Robert Redford. We must memorialize Mr. Redford w/1 of his beloved, made-in-Fun City vehicles: 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR. RIP.

Big thanks for the shout outs for LIFEGUARD and WELCOME TO FUN CITY on the latest The Big Picture physical media extravaganza/round-up with Sean Fennessey, Chris Ryan, Timothy Simons and, of course, Tracy Letts!

From the trove of Par's FABULOUS STAINS photos, Jim Youngs, earlier a WANDERER & later a FOOTLOOSE villain. Diane Lane starred w/Youngs' brother John Savage in CATTLE ANNIE AND LITTLE BRITCHES. Youngs is likely playing Corinne's boyfriend & didn't make the film's final cut.

The High Council at The Big Picture, particularly Chris Ryan, helped us sell out of WELCOME TO FUN CITY over the weekend. Spurred on by that, we're pressing up another run of the 2-disc Blu-ray set, now available for preorder: funcityeditions.com/shop/p/welcome…
