L.A. Story (1991)

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

If confusion about your love life is ruining your day, I think it’s good to go over to your best friend’s house and ruin her day, too.

L.A. Story is a film dedicated to the premise that the city’s reputation as a haven for free-spirited oddballs is actually understated. It also looks under the well-buffed exterior of the so-called “beautiful people” and finds layers of desperation and loneliness below the insecurity we already knew was there. This Los Angeles is a place where a woman’s breasts feel odd if they’re real.

Bruno Kirby (1949-2006)

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

I just found out that actor Bruno Kirby has passed away of leukemia at the age of 57.  He was always a favorite of mine for his role in Good Morning, Vietnam and his hilarious cameo as a limo driver in This is Spinal Tap.

He will be missed.
