Troubadour: Dudley Saunders

Troubadour: Dudley Saunders
Here is the 8th video from In These Boxes, from my favorite troubadour Mr. Dudley Saunders "Love in Crystal." Let's hear what the master has to say about this...
"Two men are set to be remembered, if only in part: they grow up the way their families like, they come to New York, start careers. But they can’t be anything but what they were expected to be. They can’t imagine something different. They want to, they feel so empty and trapped, and life feels so literal.
And then one night when the feeling is particularly bad, they both take a drug and it brings them to life. Together.
They give up everything to feel this way.
Later, when the Ukrainian super is clearing out the apartment, he sees this tie and thinks one of them must have had a job, once."

"Mutilator" Monday

You have heard of Manic Monday, Monday Funday, Monday the beginning of the weekly grind, today July 13th is now "Mutilator" Monday...Yes, I am a horror fan!


The Mutilator - Dual Format DVD & Blu-ray - ORDER HERE - Out September 29th!

Although the slasher film was in decline by the mid-1980s, there were still some grisly delights to be had... and they don't come much grislier than writer-director Buddy Cooper's sickening stalk-and-slash classic The Mutilator! When Ed receives a message from his father asking him to go and lock up the family's beach condo for the winter, it seems like the perfect excuse for an alcohol-fuelled few days away with his friends. After all, his dad has forgiven him for accidentally blowing mom away with a shotgun several years ago... hasn't he? But no sooner are the teens on the island than they find themselves stalked by a figure with an axe (and a hook, and an onboard motor) to grind... Originally entitled Fall Break (watch out for the incongruous theme song of the same name!), The Mutilator has earned a reputation amongst horror fans as one of the 'holy grails' of 80s splatter mayhem due to its highly inventive (and not to say, decidedly gruesome) kill sequences, courtesy of FX wizard Mark Shostrom (Videodrome, Evil Dead II). Finally making its long-awaited bow in High-Definition, The Mutilator has returned to terrorize a whole new generation of horror fans!

Bitch, I Don't Wanna!

Truth Or...???
Whilst giving an interview to Dot429 sexy Looking stud, Jonathan Groff said that while starring in Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton that Madonna was banned from attending the show after a performance she attended in April.

Apparently the Bitch didn't wanna get off her cell phone and her face was perfectly lit for three quarters of the show down in front.

Of course the Big M's rep denies it, but Groff insists it's true.

Gee I wonder how Madonna would have felt if someone did that while she was performing Speed The Plow?

Just Sayin'....

The Man Who Discovered Bob Dylan...

Folklore in the City
Izzy Young "Talking Folklore Center"
Coming to DVD on August 14th

The man who discovered Bob Dylan returns to Greenwich Village 
to revisit the Folklore Center days...

Izzy Young? Find out...

Izzy Young was the guru of American folk music. In this documentary covering his legendary Folklore Center in New York Izzy meets with friends and collaborators like Pete SeegerAllen GinsbergThe FugsMayor Ed Koch to reminisce. It includes unique archival footage and folk music from the 1960s.

Young is credited with playing a crucial role in the rise of folk music in the 1960s, and with catapulting a young Bob Dylan to stardom by arranging his first proper concert, at Carnegie Chapter Hall, in 1961. He opened Izzy Young's Folklore Center on MacDougal Street in New York's Greenwich Village in 1959. It became a focal point for the American folk music scene of the time, a place where one could find such limited circulation publications as Caravan and Gardyloo. From 1959 to 1969, Young wrote a column entitled "Fret and Frails" for the folk music journal Sing Out. He served on the "editorial advisory board" for the magazine until his departure for Sweden a few years later.

Young arranged concerts with folk musicians and songwriters, who often made contacts with other musicians at the Folklore Center. Bob Dylan relates in his memoirs, Chronicles, how he spent time at the Center, where Young allowed him to sit in the backroom of the store, listening to folk music records and reading books. Dylan met Dave Van Ronk in the store, and Young produced Dylan's first concert at Carnegie Chapter Hall in New York City on Saturday, November 4, 1961.

"I broke my ass to get people to come," Young said in a recent interview with Tablet. "Only 52 people showed up but about 300 people remember being there. Everyone wants to say they were there. You understand?" 

Dylan wrote a song about the store and Young entitled "Talking Folklore Center".

Who You Gonna Call?

Wonder if They Will Get Slimed?!

T.G.I.F! Here is the cast of the new Ghostbusters in uniform. Pretty standard as were the ones in the original.

The new all female cast, in case you didn't know already includes: Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.

OK, is there anyone out there who feels this film like so much else in Hollywood is an unnecessary reboot, remake, or however the Hell you want to refer to it?

Honestly the only thing that would compel me to see this are McCarthy and Wiig and some bomb ass reviews to go along with it.

But, hey it's the weekend and I'm a giver and thought people, like myself would be curious to see the gang together and ready to bust some ghost ass!

Yep, it's all about fun!

My brilliant brother, Andrew Green has written and produced a comedy pilot for Amazon. It’s a really terrific kids show called "A History of Radness.” It’s fresh, original, has a fabulous cast and some great music.
It's available to watch for free on Amazon (you don't need Amazon Prime) RIGHT NOW. The more people who watch, the better chance it has of being picked up for series. If you like it (and, as I said it's terrific so of course you’ll like it), give it a whole bunch of stars (really important to do) and please spread the word. This week is critical for voting!
Don’t worry if you don’t have Amazon on your TV - simply click on this link you can watch it right now: http://amzn.to/1BI1Qfe and you can watch it on your computer.
You have to keep it on til the end for it to have a credit. If you only watch part of it and turn it off, they will think you didn't like it!

Look! It's Lisa Bonet!

Isn't She Lovely? Lisa Bonet

While surfing the Internet I came across this photo of Lisa Bonet on the set of Girls in New York.

This brings back a lot of memories for me because I've always thought Lisa was so  beautiful and intriguing.

Although best known for her role of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show and A Different World.

My favorite Bonet moment will be her as Epiphany Proudfoot in Alan Parker's Angel Heart.

The film brought out a whole new side to her that was closer to who she is in my opinion than Denise  Huxtable ever was.

It also included a blood soaked sex scene with Mickey Rourke, the nudity and sexual content drew the ire of her TV Father Bill Cosby.Which eventually led to a falling out. Go figure that one...

Glad to see you working Lisa!
