Me to Me
Well, Me, last evening around dinner time I went down to Carolina Beach near my new home in NC. I think it looks like kind of a fun hangout. And I really think Nicole would love it here. I couldn’t help but think of that. I wish I could gift it to her. With no request in return, of course.
But the area also made me think of a certain little movie:
(”...” “...”)
Ha-ha, Yeah, right? I didn't hear any blood-curdling screams or anyone yelling, "Sh-shark!" while there, though. So it just might be okay to go in the water.
The Passing of a Cultural Icon
Actor Adam West passed away from leukemia at the age of 88 early this morning (06/10/2017). He and the endearing charm that he exhibited throughout his life will be missed.
We know what you’re most famous for, sir, but you had a varied career and we remember that too -- including stints on The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Big Bang Theory, multiple TV shows, film appearances and so on. Heck, you even fed me on a trip to Mars.
Many of us will retain fond memories of you, Mr. West

This explains from where Mona the Monkey comes: “Although it is a thoughtful and surprisingly non-exploitative movie, the title Robinson Crusoe on Mars might conjure up unholy echoes of cross-pollinated genre movies such as Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter or Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Well, don't worry. This 1964 space epic is in fact an adaptation of the classic Daniel Defoe novel, and it plays fair by logic and science. After his spaceship crash-lands on Mars, astronaut Paul Mantee must figure out how to survive on the hostile planet (shot mostly in Death Valley), aided only by a monkey from his ship. Director Byron (The War of the Worlds) Haskin's sober approach brings a refreshing emphasis to issues of survival--how many space travel movies have you seen where the traveler tests the air of a distant planet and discovers that, by George, he can breathe just fine? Not this one. Mantee's desperate methods of tracking his air flow and experimenting with methods of breathing are painstakingly explored, and seem like exactly the kind of problems a real planetary voyager would encounter. The second half of the picture cleverly blends Defoe's plot with sci-fi conventions, and the movie never does "dumb down."
