[tepista]

I want tep to be snooty Hollywood deposited in the sticks, complaining about the lattes and absence of cedar oven pizza, calling everyone dah-ling like Zsa Zsa.

Austinites have a hatred for Californians, that's a real thing. Jealous, if ya ask me.

You need to dress like Sonny Crockett and ask bars if they serve Zima, then groan.

Good luck, Tep! I have such fond memories of hanging out with you and your lovely wife at the Burgundy Room. Are they going to be able to survive without your patronage?

I hope this is a good move for you! I imagine one nice thing is that housing will be a LOT less expensive there. Where in TX will you be? I hope not Houston, because my cousin Brian lives there and he sucks.

Yeah! Fuck Brian!

Yes, fuck Brian. Karen's brother lives in Houston, and so do some cousins, but we will live in the city that's famous for the sniper in the university tower. (they hate when say that)
...

Its amazing Kurt Russell got away with that.

It was only a matter of time he'd snap after college experiments that gave him super strength and a computer brain.

Have I ever touted Targets (1968), loosely based on the same story? One of the best movies of all time, no joke.

Really?

Targets (1968) Peter Bogdanavich's (Last Picture Show, Mask) classic directorial debut. The story goes that Boris Karloff owed Roger Corman a day or 2 of shooting, so he tells Bogdanovich to use that, along with footage of a Karloff throwaway flick called the Terror and and a week or so with other actors and do what you can. What we get is Karloff basically playing himself, Byron Orlack, a veteran horror actor who is tired of his profession because real life newspaper headlines are more terrifying than the Gothic horror roles he's been playing for decades. Bogdanovich himself plays a film director who tries to convince Karloff to make one more movie. Nancy Hsueh played Boris' secretary. Unfortunately, this lovely woman died in real life at the age of 39. In an unrelated plot based heavily on Charles Whitman (who shot and killed over a dozen people on the campus at the University of Texas), an all-American young man kills his family, then goes on a random shooting spree in the L.A. Valley. The two stories come together in the end in this classic of modern horror. It would have been nice for Karloff to call this gem his last film, but he has a few posthumously released cheapies he made down in Mexico following this. Highly Recommended.

Yeah, you better have your new license plates ready to install when you arrive. Friends of ours moved to Oregon, put theirs on as soon as they crossed the border. Daughter moved to Alabama, lived on the edge with Cali plates for almost a year.

Step one: Quit my job of 25+ years. CHECK.

Step Two: Buy an RV and find America.

Great film.

I've always wanted to enjoy it more. It's a great period piece, smack in the middle of Reagan era yuppie scum, yet it never impacts me as much I want.

Maybe we'll take a trip to Houston to see Ohtani.

This was the answer I was hoping for. I was their right before the plague and had a great time. It's a rocker bar town, good vibes. I took this picture of my friend that I'm rather proud of...

It's not my favorite of his flicks, but it's a pleasant viewing.
