This is Engineer Fred


End of the line.
 Navin (to Billy) Don’t touch the Johnson bar! It’ll explode the fuel casing! And if the Wilson-Smith indicator gets above one sixty, just turn that little nut down there one quarter turn. There’s a little screwdriver there, just put it in and turn it one quarter. Now listen Billy, we’re going into a tunnel don’t stand up because the clearance is only four foot, uhh! (Navin hits his head on the tunnel) I’m o.k., I was protected by the bill of my Engineer Fred cap! (the train slows to a stop) Thank’s for pulling my cap down.

Sandwich of the Day: Pastrami


Tribute to Eugene Levy and his gassy interview with Kevin Pollak. His was from Art's Deli in Studio City. I want one now and it's six a.m. Not the best choice for breakfast perhaps. I had red beans instead like a good Cajun boy. Joel had a pastrami from the Stage Deli in the Russian Flu ep. when his fiancee flies in. I watched that one the other day too.

Charles Lang: Cinematographer




Watching a better print of One-Eyed Jacks now. Eventually all of my cinematography posts will be here on blogspot but that will take some time. When I did an image search for Charles Lang I saw my old post on The Big Heat (1953). The Uninvited is the header. I have the Criterion DVD. I know Lang for black and white so it is interesting to see Technicolor.

Allen Garfield, RIP


One of my favorite actors. Goorwitz was his real name. Header from Busting (1974). He played great slimeball characters. He had been in the motion picture home for years after having a series of strokes.
