It true

Who has me blocked, lol.

Bluray double feature of Eddie and the Cruisers and the sequel Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!

Very much enjoyed this purchase.

Forgot how great the original was and how just completely abruptly it ended.

And then the sequel is full of good music but also so insanely filled with many mystifying choices that it was fascinating.

Indeed it was. There’s something about watching an old movie and knowing it’s absolutely just real cars and real people doing a thing.

Goddamn Bruce Dern fucking rocks in this.

In an era of cops bending the rules being the hero here’s Dern showing you cops bending the rules can be skeevier than the people they’re trying to put away…

Perfect performance to get you to cheer for a wooden Ryan O’Neal.

Ryan O’Neal, always at his best playing a character dead behind the eyes…

Like with Barry Lyndon I think it’d be better if you had a better lead but I admire Walter Hill and Stanley Kubrick working with what they got and bending it to serve the movie.

15 minutes in I see the opening of Drive is practically lifted wholesale from this thing…

The Driver

Ending of this movie can still break your heart.

Josh Gibson.

Gibson, arguably the greatest hitter in the history of baseball, dies of a brain tumor before the leagues integrate, and he’s buried in an unmarked grave.

Prime Oscar bait territory if I’ve ever heard it and truly one of the most heartbreaking tales of Americana distilled to its essence.

Mykelti Williamson as Josh Gibson in Soul of the Game.

Mykelti Williamson plays Josh Gibson in this and he’s good.

But what surprises me most on this rewatch, for the third biggest role in the film, the part seems underwritten.

I am also surprised, truly, that in the subsequent 30 years that Gibson hasn’t been the subject of his own big budget biopic.

Edward Herrmann as Branch Rickey in Soul of the Game (1996)

Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey in 42 (2013).

It is also funny to me that, for as big as Edward Herrmann plays Branch Rickey in this, Harrison Ford, 16 years later, would spend the run time of 42 going “We could be going BIGGER…”

Lindo’s charisma is off the charts in this movie.

I know he worked steadily and had a lot of great roles, but seriously this movie should’ve made him a giant with his pick of anything were the world just.

Cover of the dvd of HBO original movie Soul of the Game. Delroy Lindo, Mykelti Williamson and Blair Underwood are billed and depicted on the cover as Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and Jackie Robinson respectively. The tagline is “They Came to Play Ball. They Stayed To Make History.”

In 1995 I would’ve seen him in Congo & Get Shorty (Clockers I wouldn’t see until 97/98).

In 1996 I would’ve caught him in Broken Arrow & Ransom.

But it was Soul of the Game playing on a loop as a 1996 HBO original that burned Delroy Lindo’s name into my brain.

Shoulda won that Oscar for Sinners.

I get it, i do. That’s why i recommend surrounding yourself with no demand low stakes. Just immersion therapy of easy entertainment

I recommend a comfort show that doesnt ask much. One you’ve seen a million times, a sitcom, a procedural. Something with enough episodes that you can get lost in & it doesn’t matter paired w/ a low stakes second screen video game at the same time. Tetris on your phone, poker, i go w/ ps5 wrestling.

I mean it looks fantastic, 100%, I find it a little difficult to get around? Confusing this level when the one i want is behind it and higher?

Also if we’re talking actual me there? Just gettin’ around I would be a huffin’ & a puffin’, sittin’ on steps to catch my breath. Exhausting.

Solitude is the best looking town.. I agree White Run has the best looking houses… But I kinda love the on the water of Riften, I just think most of the buildings there vaguely look like they were built for a summer camp…

I did not want him worrying about the neighborhood I was moving him into…

My painting of Tim Curry as Dr Frank N Furter in Rocky Horror Picture Show

Happy Birthday Mr Curry thank you for awakening my interest in beautiful evil men

Cover drawn by me, featuring the character Amos Burton standing in a crowd with his gun drawn. In the foreground two shadowed figures approach him, also carrying guns. Like all four covers, it is coloured in a cyan and magenta colour scheme.

Amos hides behind a walk, protecting a young girl from two security types looking for them. He has his gun drawn and has one hand pressed against his side, where blood is visible leaking from a wound.

Amos is being punched in the face by a large guy with a beard and a shaved head. His head is covered in Belter tattoos.

Amos kneels on the floor in a dark room, looking exhausted. He is surrounded by the dead bodies of people he has shot. From behind him, a figure emerges from the darkness with a gun pointed at his head.

Here's all four covers I did for THE EXPANSE: A LITTLE DEATH
