COMING SOON: THE ANNOTATED ABBOTT AND COSTELLO

Coming Soon: The Annotated Abbott and Costello

VIA TRAVALANCHE

October 2 is the birthday of Bud Abbott, our favorite member of the comedy team of Abbott and Costello. As we have written here a few times, we are fans of the radio and television work of this beloved team, and almost certainly would have loved them in live performance. We also have written approvingly about a certain aspect of their comedy films. But we have been pretty unsparing and harsh in our criticism of the movies of Abbott and Costello in posts....READ MORE AT

MASADA, STRAUSS & O'TOOLE

We recently watched the 1981 production of Masada again---starring Peter O'Toole and Peter Strauss.  It never disappoints.

For those who don't know, Strauss get his start with The Croton Shakespeare Festival. You can read more about that here,

Masada is highly recommended.  Here's a review, synopsis and more from Movies in Focus:

Masada is a 1981 television mini-series starring acting legend Peter O’Toole and helmed by directing stalwart Boris Sagal (The Omega Man). The series is an entertaining and well made production that charts the siege of the Jewish fortress at Masada by the Romans in 1st Century A.D. and the political and emotional shenanigans that ensued.

O’Toole heads up the cast as Flavius Silvalavius, the leader of the Romans who are attempting to destroy a small pocket of zealots who have fenced themselves into the titular fortress. O’Toole is powerful in the role of Flavius, treating the script as if it were Shakespeare and the Palestinian locations as if they were a stage. Peter Strauss who was then best known for Rich Man, Poor Man (also directed by Sagal) plays Eleazar ben Yair, the Jewish leader who infuriates Flavius and causes all sorts of problems for Rome.

REMEMBERING THE VERY FUNNY RODNEY DANGERFIELD

Who died this date in 2004....Rodney Dangerfield (born Jacob Rodney Cohen November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, voice artist, filmmaker, musician and author known for his self-deprecating one-liners humor, his catchphrase "I don't get no respect!" and his monologues on that theme. READ MORE ABOUT HIM HERE.

We loved him in Caddyshack. (P.S. The usual "woke" commentary" to cancel this film will be deleted on sight.)

BLM IN THE NEWS AGAIN: KANYE IS RIGHT, BLACK LIVES MATTER WAS ALWAYS A SCAM

Kanye West only really cares about getting attention. But even the worst attention hog can stumble across a good point: Black Lives Matter was a scam from the beginning.

“Everyone knows Black Lives Matter was a scam,” West said. He's right. The Black Lives Matter movement was built on the lie that Michael Brown was a poor, defenseless victim of a racist police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2015. The myth that he submitted and was shot anyway — “Hands up, don’t shoot” — was a lie. Physical evidence showed that Brown attacked Officer Darren Wilson and attempted to get his gun before he was shot.---READ MORE AT Kanye is right: Black Lives Matter was always a scam | Washington Examiner
