Comment: 1. The best night of the week to stay up late is Sunday. It doesn't matter if you go out or stay in, but you definitely shouldn't be going to bed any time before 1 AM on Sunday night. This past Sunday, I decided to dig through my crate of old videotapes and was rewarded with a documentary about the band QUEEN (which was totally great) as well as the bizarre 1986 film F-X, in which Bryan Brown plays a special effects movie man who is hired by the Justice Department (actually Mason Adams, who you may remember from various Nuprin commercials from the mid 80s) to fake the assassination of a mob kingpin who is preparing to testify for the NYPD. Things go awry when Mason's character (weirdly named 'Mason' in the movie) tries to have our Australian hero (Brown) killed so there are no 'loose ends.' Later on, Brown defeats the bad guys by employing his movie-making special effects props, including fake blood packets, smoke machines, a large alien that roars like Chewbacca with a bad sinus infection, Krazy Glue, and a fake corpse from a splatter flick called 'I Dismember Mama' (which really exists!) Although I fell asleep on my couch before the end of the movie, I believe the exciting conclusion of the film features Brian Dennehy as an angry NYPD detective who reveals that he is actually an alien from outer space who goes back in time to fight nazis during World War II with the aid of a modern aircraft carrier. I missed the sequel, F-X-2, which I think elaborated further on this surprising plot twist.
Comment: 2. I like art more than I thought I did.
Comment: There was more, I think... I learned that I shouldn't stay at the station late on Monday nights, even if Scott Williams is hosting live sets from badass rock bands that I like, because it just spells disaster for my Tuesday morning radio duties. Apologies for the numerous sonic flubberies contained herein. Approach with caution.
