Doo-wop makes me want to barf.

Yeah, H'wood's gotta make money, which is why a Monk biopic is a serious longshot. Much as i love him, Monk's story is pretty uneventful by biopic standards. It has nothing to do with "sensationalism" in this case, but more the fact that nobody outside the classic jazz community knows who he is and he didn't do anything worthy of dramatizing his life story. Not gonna happen... Agreed. But, I never heard of Monk's battle with demons and drugs until recently because it wasn't broadcasted like e.g. Parker's. I honestly thought that he was just eccentric. I never paid any attention to those portions of musicians' lives anyhow and chose to always concentrate on their great music. My point, sensationalism, is if Horrywood wanted to make money it'd have to play up the dope and mental illness angles, probably almost ignore his great music.

Ooooooh! Aaaahhhhhh! Those Oooohs and Aaahhhs are classics. The man could act interested over the most boring stories from his guests. Merv was a real pro, a the-show-must-go-on type of guy. I was an adult and could stay up late for Carson.

That's one tuff hombre. Wonder why anybody would have a crocodile for a pet, and in Moscow?

test Is there a way other than using e.g. photobucket?

Every image that I post on the Board comes out in reduced size no matter what size I start with. My question is: How to post a non-reduced size image? You know, I put it within the allowable boundaries, then I simply transfer/post in that size. And, what are the allowable perimeters? [The Search Function steered me to this thread.] thanks

I thought maybe my opinion might be too personal and nobody wants to hear that shit.

No shit.

Is that the one/act that contains the guy running out in front of cars being in the "insurance" business?

I bet pwn is derived from "pawn," maybe secondhand, a "lowly" form of ownership, eventhough wikipedia didn't say.

The only way I'd play for a church is for money.

Should I delete the above post? I hate to be a thread killer, like that anyhow.

If Monk had a mental illness and/or used drugs it was kept pretty much a secret. I hope and suspect the incident culminating in his wandering the airport grounds was an isolated incident. 'Course, Horrywood's gotta make money....And, everything has to relate to today's crowd, the now generation. Jazz music isn't currently popular, but dope and "sensationalism" is. Personally I think Monk's music, the musicians and their interactions and families would be sensational enough for a flick.
