Biff,I just realized that your list of notable NYC movies didn’t include another all-time great: “On the Waterfront”, another of my all-time favorites. Although this movie was shot in Hoboken, it was intended to portray Red Hook, where I was born. Indeed, I like this movie on its own merits, and because it perfectly captures the world into which I was born, both the good and the ugly. Although it has become something of a schtick now, Marlon Brando’s famous “I cudda been a contenda” speech perfectly captures the sentiments of many folks in my father’s generation.
ray of light is a good album. im definitely not a fan of madonna tho i think she’s mad annoying and a big phoney who rips off trends and then 3 to 5 years later tries to claim them for her own.
Biff – I could not agree with you more on We Built This City – one of the worst songs ever
Too Shy – I kinda dig
Speaking of bad songs, the two most cringe-worthy of all-time, IMO:
Starship – We Built This City
Kajagoogoo – Too Shy

I’m laying off from now on, Benson. Like I said last week, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
:-/ oh stop it. just come out and admit you like me

“On the Waterfront”
“Little Big Man”
Indeed, highly recommended.
Little Big Man – I could not get out of my seat in the theater i was crying so much.
Going back to movies….
