  1. I think the last time I watched the Oscars was...🤔...fuck, I honestly cant' remember. I know the Jerry Lewis Telethon was still a thing and I think people were talking about some new arcdade game game called Space Invaders. Anyway, my point is, I never was much on slurpfest stuff like the Oscars, Emmy's, or Grammy's, but like The Drinker I love a good movie. When I was a kid it was the only escape we had. There was no internet, no social media, no video games. You climbed tress, played baseball in the summer, football in the fall, and hockey in the winter, all with busted up equipment because you had no money to buy new stuff. But you could occasionally get 75 cents from the old man and go see a show. Or better yet, jump in the car and go to the drive-in as a family. Movies like Patton, Planet of the Apes, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, even creepy shit like The House That Dripped Blood or The Exorcist. Those were the days. Here's to a golden age that maybe never was but I like to think existed. Yeah, my passive voice is pervasive, but so is my nostalgia for days that will never come again. RIP Hollywood, I'm gonna miss ya. 😥
