My daughter watched Young Frankenstein with us when she was LITTLE, and it's her favorite movie still—only now she gets it, lol.

One of my friends in high school loved Young Frankenstein so much she named her dog Abbie Normal. :D

Two big ones this morning. (At least for me.)

Bob Uecker, "Mr. Baseball", not very well known for his Major League Baseball career, but very well known as the self-effacing, wise-cracking announcer for the Milwaukee Brewers for over fifty years. Also a star of many commercials back in the 80s and 90s. Passed yesterday at 90. "I must be in the front row!"

David Lynch also passed away yesterday, at 78. Directed every weird movie you've ever heard of. Eraserhead. Blue Velvet. Wild at Heart. Mulholland Drive. Twin Peaks. And, of course, the movie everyone loves to hate, the ill-fated 1984 adaptation of Dune. I remember going to see Blue Velvet in the theater in Westwood with one of my friends (who also recently passed away), and walking out afterwards thinking, "What the hell did I just watch?" But I guarantee you, I thought about it at least once an hour for the next week.

RIP,  Mr. Lynch. I hope the afterlife makes more sense than your movies did.  :D

im a big fan of lynch dune. rip.

Like everything else he made, you either love it or you hate it. No in-between. I have one friend for whom it is her favorite movie of all time. So much so that she refuses to read the books. She believes that if she reads the books it will ruin her experience of the movie.

ive read all the books, saw all the adaptations. i dont think any of them detract from the others. on the contrary they supplement each other quite well.
