The Black Bird (1975)

George Segal as Sam Spade Jr. Maltese Falcon parody. Long unavailable. Found on Youtube. Lionel Stander. I always like the hard-boiled parodies and detective comedies.

Directed by John Huston. Humphrey Bogart. Dashiell Hammett book. I finally read the book first time several years ago. A sequel of sorts came on the radio, Suspense, 1948, The Khandi Tooth Caper. It is the great detective movie. I have the DVD but am taking the opportunity to watch it in HD.

Midnight Run (1988)

One of the best buddy comedy thrillers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Run

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/midnight-run-1988

RIP Charles Grodin

My mother’s favorite comedy was Midnight Run but she didn’t like all the cursing & for years searched in vain for a copy of the movie that had the curses removed & now I hope Charles Grodin is with her in heaven explaining to her that they didn’t sell those

Charles Grodin, RIP

One of the best. One of my favorites. He made everything he was in better. I would strongly recommend The Heartbreak Kid if you haven't seen that one. Brutally funny. He was 86.

Kurt Russell on Harry O

Harry O recently showed up on Youtube. Good detective show. David Janssen. Not a rare show on the internet, because I watched three episodes a couple of summers ago, and one of them the Kurt Russell ep. Some shows come and go a lot over the years. Playing that one now on Youtube. Same channel has a number of other excellent 70s cop/detective series. Too many, in fact, and I suspect it will soon be deleted. Ep. is "Double Jeopardy." #19 of season one. First aired February 13, 1975.

Spicy Three Bean Soup

Woke up at midnight and worked on drafts for both sites while listening to the new Trailers From Hell podcast. Then made bean soup for the freezer for the first time in a while while listening to older Trailers From Hell podcasts I hadn't heard. I was living on this soup last year with Extra Toasty Cheez-Its. The perfect accompaniment. I made crawfish etouffee for Mother's Day lunch at my mother's and had enough left over to freeze a bit.

A freak rain storm, bringing down pellets of hail as large as moth balls, descended on the Capitol today. The hail pellets pierced cloth auto tops as if they were made of paper-mache. Rep. Pat Boland of Pennsylvania, House Whip, is pictured as he dodged the hail stones on Capitol Hill, 4/29/38
