26.9.18



it was awkwardbut he liked awkward as he listened to Tools Undertow he reran parts of the film Marty on the black oily surface of his bowl of coffee  Man, that Mickey Spillane, he sure can write  two elderly widows talk in a cloistered dull lit livingroom about how a daughter-in-law can turn their sons love away from them  they talk about a college girl She’s just one step from the street they talk about a girl who works outside the home before a typewriter She’s just one step from the street Marty mid30s and Clara late20s walk downtown talking after meeting at a dance club  across the street in a parked car Ralph sitting behind the steering wheel hails Marty Marty politely excuses himself to Clara  What’s up Ralph? he looks into the backseat at a couple seated there and says Hiya, Leo  Ralph interrupts That’s Louise. she sits to Leos left  Hello, Louise.  Hawaryah, Maty? she replies  Ralph interrupts curtly Come with us, Marty. then lowering his voice so Louise cant hear It’s money in the bank, Marty, I’m telling you, money in the bank. Nah, I’m already with a girl.  Brush her off.  I can’t, she was brushed off earlier tonight. Marty, this is money in the bank, brush her off, brush her off. Nah. I can’t. I gotta go.

Paddy Chafesky wrote Martywhich likely to most people today probably means shit

it starred Ernest Borginine who? who won the Academy Award as Best Actor for the film in ‘56 

Marty also won Best Movie  Best Director  and Best Adapted Screenplay

six short years later in the Fall of ’62 Borginine plays McHale in McHale's Navy on television  its about a PT boat skipper and his crew in the Japanese Pacific 

as a kid he supposed ya hafta had won the war to make a sitcom of it  one of the perks of being a victorious nation

then again in ’65 Hogan's Heroes soldiers held in Stalag 13 a Nazi P.O.W. (prisoner of war) camp Hogan is played by Bob Crane who 13 years later was bludgeoned to death in Scotsdale Arizona while touring with a dinner theatre production of Beginner’s Luck 

an unsolved murder  

maybe Crane was held accountable and atoned for his sacrilege 

maybe some people or someone didnt think the television show was funny

not funny
          like at the commencement of Drumpfs speech to the United Nations yesterday touting his Administrations unparalleled American achievements

there was laughter 

then silence
