I Don’t Want to Make Too Big a Deal Out of This …

… but Dean Stockwell went to Alexander Hamilton High School.

Carry on.

Oh. And while I’m here.

Stockwell as Eugene O’Neill’s alter ego in Long Day’s Journey Into Night

Watched Boy With Green Hair last night – after I recovered from running away from the damn explosion on 41st Street.

It was a horrible copy of the movie- it looked like it had been taken off a television or something … blurry, smudgy, and the sound was so-so – but it sure was the movie I remembered from my youth.

I had forgotten, though, about the random unexplained fantasy-flashback musical-number near the beginning. So bizarre!!! Like: what? Who is that king? Why are they singing? What is the point? What’s up with the red wig? Why the Thru the Looking Glass set? WHAT. THE HELL. is going on??? Why are there no more musical numbers of that kind in the entire movie? Hilarious. Totally meaningless. It looked like the screenwriter said, “You know, I have this random silly song I wrote that has nothing to do with anything. Is there any way we can squeeze it into this serious anti-war movie? Thanks.” hee hee I’ll write more about the movie later – lots of good stuff. And it was really fun to see what I remembered. I remembered the first scene almost shot by shot. The two cops talking to someone, you can’t see who it is … they’re trying to figure out the person’s name … the person is not speaking … then one of the cops steps back, and it’s Stockwell, aged 12, sitting there – completely bald. I so remember that from when I was a kid. It scared me. Why is he so bald?? etc. Totally remember that.
