RE #166 Jay Silverheels went to the Happy Hunting Ground sometime in the late
1970's or early 1980's (don't remember the exact day of his death).

DICK (A-) - Offers a wonderfully zany series of
mock-explanations for the big news stories of
Nixon's second term. You'd think it wouldn't
make much sense to someone who was born almost
ten years after Nixon resigned and who hasn't
reached that era yet in school, and yet my son
laughed himself silly over it, owing mainly to
the endearingly goofy protagonists, a pair of
highschool girls. The actresses playing the two
girls are first-rate. Highly recommended.

saw "mystery men" friday night. it did have its funny moments and
some good lines. paul reubens' character was entirely unnecessary.
even so, the movie reminded me of what my circle of friends could be if our
neuroses and psychoses were just a little more pronounced.
saw "the blair witch project" on saturday. i didn't find it to be
the seat-grippingly terrifying movie that some people have. even so,
there are some images from it (and what those images made me think of)
which are going to stay with me for a long time. the movie was
interesting in some other ways, too. i thought it was a pretty good
demonstration of how urbanized some people have become and what can
happen when people are taught that the needs of the individual outweigh
the needs of the group. it seems to be a step in the right direction
for the horror-movie genre, as well...maybe, just maybe, the days of
the blood-soaked slasher series are over and horror movies which
encourage audiences to think and to supply the scariest bits themselves
will have a resurgence.

Do a "Facts of Life" parody and call it "The Blair Warner Project"?

Mark- what show were you at? Ashke (formerly sun) and I were there
yesterday at the 4:15 showing. Personally, I really like that movie,
it's horribly cheesy- but it *knows* it's cheese and plays it up.

I saw Inspector Gadget last Friday. It was a fun movie. It covered all of the
old standards of the cartoon show, except for the obligatory scene in each
TV episode where Chief Quimby gives Gadget his assignment. (Chief Quimby does
appear in the film, played by Dabney Coleman.) It was a silly stupid film,
but not as silly or as stupid as George of the Jungle. I give it a B+.

Heh, askhe and I were probably very near you then. <laughs> Although, we
arrived just in time to miss most of the previews... (We intended to
see "Matrix" but were too late)

re: way back there...Jay "Tonto" Silverheels died back in the late 70's
(maybe 1979?) One of the pallbearers was his real-life best friend
Clayton Moore, who of course played the Lone Ranger along side his Tonto
for years first on radio and then on television.

RE #178 I believe that Clayton Moore played The Lone Ranger exclusively on
television. But, of course, I may be wrong on that.

Brace Beemer was the first radio Ranger....or actually the second...Clayton
Moore was the Lone Ranger on the radio during the 40's. John Hart played
the LR on TV first, but was replaced by Clayton Moore for most of the tv
series run as well.
Jay Silverheels was of course, always Tonto

I bow to your superior Lone Ranger knowledge.
I used to listen to TLR on the radio when I
was a kid, but it wasn't until I moved to
this area that I learned that the show was
broadcast from Detroit.

And while were doing Lone Ranger stuff:
The Lone Ranger was produced live on WXYZ radio, from Detroit. The same
company would also go on to produce The Green Hornet. WXYZ was located in the
old Maccabees building on Woodward. The Maccabees is now known as the Detroit
Public Schools Center. There still is a radio station, and it is known as
WDET. And lastly, a man named Rube Weiss, who died a few years ago did the
introduction to the Lone Ranger. Even though he is gone, Rube can still be
heard on the Guardian Alarm TV commercials.

I also saw "Mystery Men" over the weekend and also thought it was really
funny, though I might qualify that with "if you like superhero stories or
enjoy movies whose basic joke is playing with the 'rules' of a genre.."
Whatever -- I thoroughly enjoyed it, even after paying Showcases's
amazing $8 ticket price, which is usually enough to sour me on even a
really good movie..

I did like mystery men, tho they could have lost the spleen, there was enough
conflict in the other characters that we could have lost him. It played on
the spacialization of the character traits very well, and the screwups were
great. Thats Specialization up there, by the by.

You know the Green Hornet was supposed to be the great great grandson
of the Lone Ranger or something like that...they have the same last name
