Back from the beyond

Gregory Hines

Gregory Hines died this weekend from cancer at 57. Strangely, this week I ordered from Amazon the newly-released DVD of one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies, “Eve of Destruction.” Hines starred in the robot-clone-killing-machine-with-nuclear-bomb-inside funfest as the officer dedicated to stopping the robot (campily played by RenĂ©e Soutendijk). For that role by itself, I thank him.

    man. you quote monty python AND have the same birthday as yul brynner? i gotta hang out here more often.

    and speaking of yul brynner and angry robot movies, you mostly likely (if you haven’t already) desperately need to watch WESTWORLD. oh yes. it’s magnificent.

    Thanks for the compliments, MCF. As it happens I love “Westworld.” It’s even on my Amazon wish list, as yet unpurchased.
