Somebody put too many olives in my martinis last night.
- W.C. Fields
Sonja and I watch more and more old movies as time passes. In part, no doubt, due to modern movies nearly all being produced (same as fucking near everything else) on planet Crap. Today it was “Never Give A Sucker An Even Break” featuring W.C. Fields.
Had not watched a Fields movie in many years. Probably since I was a kid.
“He’s fucked up,” was Sonja’s assessment of The Great Man.
It occurred to me W.C. Fields may have influenced me more than just about anybody I watched in the black and white television era and I had forgotten about him.
The Turner Movie Channel. It is not just about old fucking movies. It is about rediscovering yourself.

We watched "In The Heat of The Night" last night. Neither of us fell asleep. Good stuff.
Apparently Poitier did the film without setting foot across the Mason Dixon. Steiger was great.
