One of the reasons I love bloggers who write mainly about film is that (unlike in the print-world, you don’t have a word count, and you don’t have to focus on only the “new” or the “fresh”) we can pretty much write about what we want to write about. If I want to devote 4 months out of my life to ONLY writing about Dean Stockwell, I can do that<\/a>. And you know what? If you build it, people will come. Sure, you lose people along the way, but who needs those people anyway? You write about what you love – people will show up. The right kind<\/i> of people. True passion has triumphed! Long live Dean Stockwell!<\/p>\n

To my point:<\/p>\n

Jonathan at Cinema Styles has a generous and in-depth post about Len Cariou<\/a>. You may not recognize that name, but you definitely know the guy. And theatre-goers definitely<\/i> know him.<\/p>\n

I loved The Four Seasons<\/i> when I was a teenager – it’s been years since I’ve seen it but many of the scenes remain almost word for word in my head. (“Shalimarrrrrr? Thank you!” “Danny … are you telling me that you are afraid of your underwear?” “MY WIFE’S ITALIAN!!”) I think I first saw it at Mere and Jayne’s house. Those were the days when you had to RENT a VCR in order to see a movie! So we would choose verrry carefully what we wanted to see. What’s Up Doc<\/i> was a favorite. I remember watching Fame<\/i> on one of those fun sleepover-movie nights. And The Four Seasons<\/i> – a great ensemble piece, with some first-rate acting.<\/p>\n

Anyway: go read Jonathan’s post<\/a>. It’s a great tribute to an under-rated really solid actor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
