Dog Day Afternoon is one of my (many) "cheaper than a babysitter" films.

Why?

Kids' tickets were relatively inexpensive in the '70s and my mom loved going to the movies. Dragging us kids along with her was the sensible choice!

As recounted to me:

The time my farm-girl mother was told mid-way through Christmas dinner that the roast beef she was enjoying was provided by her beloved pet cow.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

It's a pity that Al Pacino won his only Oscar for a hammy performance in a perfectly pleasing but shallow popcorn film.

Because the older I get, the more I'm convinced he's one of the best screen actors ever to do the job. He's fearless, with the talent to back it up.

Updating my will to ensure that my tombstone shall read:

"A walking reproach and a constant reminder of tragedy."

It worked for my Sniffies profile; why wouldn't it work for my grave?

Drilling a hole through my skull and then delicately fingering around to determine if there's enough space left in my brain for another Joan Crawford biography.

John Voight, still hunting Nazis 50 years after The Odessa File was released—but now he's hunting them because he's elderly and isolated and in desperate need of like-minded friends.

Spoiler alert: He finds them.

I had this exact same expression on my face when I learned that my most recently deceased husband was the leader of an international freakish religious cult.

Mrs. Bundy? Did I hear you correctly, random diner guy? MISSUS?

Pardon my "Marie Dressler in the final scene of Dinner at Eight" double-take.

Vivid dreamer here.

Nearly all my dreams involve me struggling to get from one place to another via train, car, plane, bus, etc., in settings ranging from the prairie where I grew up to Chicago and other cities I've called home. Hotel lobbies are often involved. #NBNW speaks to me.

I still stand by this.

It's cured pimples, arthritis, and infected scrotal hairs for me. All you have to do is rub the ailing part of your body against the TV screen at the appropriate time, rotating it in the general neighborhood of his nipple.

Like any normal human being, I would pay an obscene amount of money to see a play in which Lana Turner utters the line "Oh, Mr. Obermeyer, why aren't you in Duluth?" and then trips over a vacuum cleaner.

"Of course she did it. It was the only way to get Blanche Yurka out of the house."

Thinking back to the time when I re-arranged the letters on the bulletin board in my Language Arts classroom to read: Ale of Cow Titties, and I'm feeling pretty good about my tweenaged self.

Regardless of tonight's results, Americans will still wake up tomorrow in a country in which:

1) A mayor of NYC has never ascended to win the White House, and

2) Despising the mayor of your own city, whether you're left, center, or right, has become the national past time.

This will be fun.

If you're itching for a heated argument over which is sexier—hairy or not hairy?—I suggest that you invite your local elder gays over for a viewing of a film starring Redford and Newman.
