happy january 2nd
nope, i didn’t party till the sun came up on january first…instead, i played board games and ate popcorn. then i drove to st. louis to visit friends and party after the sun went down. helen fitzgeralds was dead, but we had fun anyhow. oh, and i saw meet the fockers, which i enjoyed immensely because i think DeNiro and Hoffman are brilliant. if you haven’t seen the graduate then you are missing how Hoffman rewrote the rules on the modern cinematic hero.
on a sadder note, Jerry Orbach passed away. while most will remember him as the stoic faced front-man of Law and Order, I will remember him as the satin-voiced pirate El Gallo of the Fantasticks. skip the movie remake and pick up the original cast CD. it’s worth it.
