Out of the house

[Thomas Joseph]

After a week, out of the house. Naturally it was selfishness that did it. I needed to refill a prescription at the doctor's office. I saw a newspaper today for the first time in nearly a week. No biggie but I had completely forgot the Oscars were Sunday. The papers mentioned the Oscars but only in an indirect way. I used the web to check out the results. I wouldn't go to see any of these films. And how about the winners? How about all those categories? I noticed this year they listed the best female actor ahead of the best male one. The #MeToo motif. I noticed most of all that today what they call acting is impersonation. This clown Jauquin Pheonix (brother of the dead River) won for "The Joker" where, in the clips I've seen, all he does in prance about in clown makeup. Then we've got Rene Zellwenger for "Judy" where all she does is impersonate Garland. They're all that way, these bio type flicks, but the critics say otherwise. "This is no mere impersonation this time", one will say, like for example about Jamie Fox (fuck him too), "he really puts himself under Ray's skin, but it's Jamie shining through." Total bullshit. These are two hour impersonations of a single person. Anyway, I had not heard of most of the nominees in any of the categories - some but not most - and when I looked I was amazed at how few I ever heard of and also relieved to know that I genuinely don't like the Oscars in any way, not even to make fun of any more, although I'm ready for that if there's an opening. How about those fashions, huh? Especially the women's dresses? Every year they show them in the paper the day after the event. Absolutely disgusting. Some real pigs in those dresses. And when they come down the runway or whatever it's not just, "Oh, look it's Angelina Jolie!", they have to add, "wearing a stunning light blue Armani" or whatever. That's been going on for some time. The older I am the more glad I am that I never got into that business. Not that I tried. But I could have done it. Then what? Instead of having the joy of dissing the dummies I'd be joining them in their awards ceremonies. There but for the grace of God go I.

Pretty funny on a nausea level. I have not looked to see who won or what won. My interest is low low low.
So there were 2 biopics - Ray Charles and Garland. Now who cares about those 2? Gays and maybe some old black people. And listing women first - will they alternate each year? What no trannies! I demand a tranny!

I guess the Charles biop was 10 years ago or so. But they do a lot of them nowadays on people who are still alive. That ought to be against the law. What a fucking ego. Imagine them doing a biop on you while you're still alive - "The Real Ollie" - and needing you on the set every day to render opinions such as, "No, no, I never would have said it that way", or, "I was a tad heavier in those days. Could you CGI him up a bit? 10 pounds is more than enough." Each day the film cannot be put in the can without your written consent. YOU MUST BE THERE. And no talking during filming. Suggestions and demands can be made afterwards unless it's really something important like the actor's voice is a bit too high or he keeps muffing a certain word that you know you would never say that way. Ray Charles was still alive when they were making the film. I can't blame Charles. I remember I was driving a cab when the movie came out and had some young kid in the car who was telling me all about Charles as if I never heard of the guy. In fact I owned several of his early albums. Anyway, it's not about Charles, I'm just saying they're making a lot of biops these days and it won't be long before the sons and daughters of famous screen actors will be up for Oscars for playing their famous parents on screen. " And now in the 'Best Performance for Playing a Parent' category, may I have the envelope please!"

The biggest movies making lots of money are super hero ones. Pretty basic.

I wonder if any of them had the Jew-like foresight while creating super hero mags to know that one day they would be turned into movies. So they milked everything they could out of them as mags and now they're turning them into movies. Next up after the movies die out is real life reenactment where suicidal kids dress up in super hero outfits and commit mass self destruction in a variety of ways, super hero/super villain style...... We've got this character, people like him, let's not sell him - lets use him - get what we can out of him - use every inch of him up then throw his carcass to the less fortunate to chew on. "Here kid, you say you're hungry, here's some Superman Carcass soup. Have a ball."

There were Batman movies in the 40's. And of course Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers were perhaps the first comic based movies. They can be easy to watch since you know the characters and the stories are predictable. You just sit back and enjoy the non-sense.

I know. I was not a big fan as a kid. But saw an old Flash Gordon a few times on MeTV and thought it was funny and wayout in a way. Now every week they've got a newer 50s or 60s or even 70s version of Buck Rogers and I'm not a fan. But the older one was funny. Everything about it, the space ships, the logos, everything. I don't know how long I could handle it, but a half hour now and then would be ok with me. "The Walking Dead" tv show comes from a comic series for which this is supposedly it's final year. What I don't like though is when they take cartoons and put them to film and then CGI the actor's faces to make them look like cartoon characters, but not quite. It's really cheap. Been around a while. Sort of Clutch Cargo 0.2. Yeah, the premise of those shows are pretty much the same all the time with the music amping up a bit as fistfights break out between the Sci Fi heroes and their outerspace nazi-like foes. Sort of like Highway Patrol in outer space.

[OllieN...@aol.com]

Clutch Cargo was kinda cool in a creepy way. I bought a DVD of all the shows and watched it. If I was a Hollywood Mogul I would produce a live action Clutch Cargo.

[Thomas Joseph]

I was in the food group today where I helped turn one thread into a debate over texting. I said I detest it. Some replied inferring my dislike could be based on age. I told them it might be true for some but not for me. Like you with the Clutch Cargo tapes - some younger people might assume your Cargo cuddleship is the result of age or nostalgia. But if 100 people your age were polled at random I'd bet the vast majority would not know who Cargo was. This is not nostalgia, this is Cargo cuddleship.

Clutch Cargo was the genesis for the Indiana Jones character. Harrison Ford was programmed by the Clutch cartoons at an early age. It is a conspiracy. Bigger than the JFK one. Keeep it quiet.

I think Rocky and Bullwinkle were in on it too. Also Mr. Peabody and Sherman. In fact, I hear Mr. Peabody was the brains behind the whole operation. They had Charlton Heston in mind for the part as well but Ford was younger and easier to program. Don't worry, I'll keep it quiet. I will never divulge inside information received from other people, especially you. As long as you do the same for me. Remember, I have provided you with loads of inside information, sometimes at the risk of death. There are some powerful and scary people involved in this. Be careful.

[OllieN...@aol.com]

I read they are going to make another Indiana Jones movie with Harrison who is 80 now. In this one he is the relic.

[Thomas Joseph]

Never watched an Indy Jones movie in full. I can understand why people like it. But for me the suspense gets boring - the big phony looming rocks zooming through a tunnel right behind the fast moving Indy. It doesn't do it for me. But even without seeing it k suppose you're referring to the treasure the rugged adventurist was looking for. Maybe one day I'll watch one in full. That will be a real adventure.

The first one I liked. It was fun. All the clichés of the serials. The sequels were not as much fun. Same with Star Wars. Those guys Lucas and Spillburg were just regurgitating old adventure shows for a already nostalgic baby boomer assholes.

I disliked all the Star Wars. Not that I saw them all. But I saw the original at the Chinese Theater and waited in line to do so. I went with a bunch of other people at the invitation of Lucky who managed a theater further East on the Blvd. I had a hangover and didn't want to be there in the first place. What bugged me most about it were the metallic sounds. The flying by of those spaceships, the swooshing sounds mostly. It really rubbed me the wrong way. The bar scene was a small relief. But for me that was about it. And the deeper into the movie it got the worse it got. So I didn't like the original. I don't believe Indiana Jones would bug me half as much. I have seen parts of it. But I saw Star Wars and for me it was quite the sacrifice. But at least when I say I hate the movie someone can't say, "How do you know, you never saw it!", because I did see it, in full, start to finish - one hell of a brave and daring young man in those days - ready, willing, and able to deal with just about anything including even things that bugged me. I feel a bit different about Rocky and it's sequels. I thought the original was alright, but only up to about the 3/4 mark of the movie. The fight sequences after that bored me. The sequels all sucked. But since the original also sucked toward the end I find some of the sequels more entertaining in their hilarity. Sequels of movies that are crap to begin with can be better than the originals. If they were good to begin with it will be hard to improve on them.

"All Sequels must end now. Repeat: All sequels must end now. Let's try that one more time. All sequels must end now. I can't hear you, people. Ok now, one more time. I'm telling you people we're going to keep doing it until we get it right. Ok now, here we go!"

The Godfather did not have sequels as all of them were part of a coherent story. Batman movies keep getting churned out. Can't say they are sequels since they seem to always have different casts. My life is a sequel. Starring ME!

You may have time to make one last sequel. Then again maybe not. Who knows? The Godfather sequel #2 was better than the original in my opinion. Very watchable. Yet the Godfather series is not one of my favorites because although there was a story I don't like the way they made the gang we're supposed to root for all known, usually starring actors, younger and better looking than the other gangs. One killing after the other can get boring to me unless it's something really way out. But the whole thing was well done, I'll give it that. Batman I don't care about at all. Spiderman is ever worse. Lots of quick movements and lights and sound. You see a lot but you don't really see anything. In other words it sucks. But you are right, if they made 100 Superman movies there is no reason to believe that any of that number would be deemed the best by the viewing public. They can improve. I'm surprised there aren't more Superman movies. Anyway it doesn't matter because I'm not going to the movies for anything. Do you hear me? Anything.

I am sure there will be a gay Batman. With Robin and Batman engaging in anal sex. Only a matter of time.

[Thomas Joseph]

I believe a gay Batman and Robin is on the way but producers must be vigilant to make sure the couple never has sex on screen. One might say to the other, "I'm tired. It's time for bed. Are you ready?", and the other says, "As ready as I'll ever be", his bulging cock visible beneath his thin nylon tights. But the cock is never seen. Leaves the audience yearning. The gay crime fighting duo will be presented with old school panache as demaned by 'the code.' If the gay super heroes engage in humma-sexual activity on screen it could turn off enough viewers to wreck the project. Keep it sexy gay innuendo style with occasional hard ons straining beneath the cloth instead of raw X rated activities that could make some viewers want to puke.

Will Alfred also be gay? Aunt Harriet? The Commish? Could get overdone. Maybe just the dynamic duo.

The Cargo toons came out when I was a teenager, early teens. I did not like it. it was ultra cheap, a forerunner of today's crap. Futuristic in that way. You may have seen it and not remembered it. The bodies hardly move at all, or even the heads, just the lips as if there is an actual human behind a cardboard cutout talking into a hole in a face. I'm sure they have images on youtube and the like, even moving ones. I didn't care about the story line of the show when I was a kid but have not seen it since. Maybe I'd like it today in some way. Clutch Cargo was a pilot. I guess he delivered cargo in the clutch, mail and such. He was a hero. Don't say anything bad about him or I'll kill you.

I agree, only the two super heroes will be gay. That will make it stand out more. Too many gays is overkill. Every so often the duo might have a gay friend over, or even confront a gay villain - but the gay theme will be confined to the crime fighting duo only. That is what I hear from people working the project as we speak. Bobby DeNiro is going to play Batman's father. Bobby will be gay. Batman inherited the gay gene from his father. For the first time in his life Bobby D will not resort to using the method as his real voice, the one we never hear in real life or any of his movies thus far, as his real voice is that of a definite gay man. He will finally get to play himself. Of course being a method actor he will probably want to suck a cock at some point on film. But the director, the one they have so far (until Bobby D gets him fired), has nixed overdoing the gay motif and I have to say I agree with it. Don't overdo it. Keep the gay thing small but powerful. Make it real man. Keep it real. Balls to the wall.

When I said gimme your best exemplar I meant a movie outtake, comic strip or a YouTube.

[Thomas Joseph]

I don't have to give you anything. It's all available on the web. Just pump "Clutch Cargo" into the google bar. Then sit back and be prepared to see for yourself what Mr. Cargo is all about. You don't have to like him. But you must respect him and his history. Who better than Clutch himself to give you the exemplar you so fervently seek.

Can you do it, Bozo. Can you find CARGO on your own or will you once again fail to come through in the CLUTCH?
