Saw the famous low-rent film-noir ‘Detour’ last night.  Was astonished by the performance of ‘Ann Savage’ as the hitchhiker with what we would probably call borderline personality disorder these days, who terrorizes the protagonist of the picture.  Take a look at the clip of ‘Ann’ below and tell me if if she doesn’t give one of the most amazing performances in cinema:

Anyhew, imagine my delight in finding out she plays Guy Madden’s mom in his new film ‘My Winnipeg’ coming to the Belcourst this month!  Whoo-hoo!

(P.S. I’ve decided to become a champion of the low-budget Dear Listener after my experience with the 175 million dollar fiasco that is the Mummy).

• @davedelaney low, because I had to watch the Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - quite possibly the worst film ever made #
• @The_Monarch thanks as always for listening! #

Yes, we’ll be reviewing the ‘X-Files, I Want to Believe’ and ‘The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon Emperor’ for Part 31, (released Thursday, August 7th Friday August 8th).

The good Professor Doctor won’t see the Mummy till Thursday morning; I’m recording it ‘on the fly’, editing and uploading it tomorrow night.

I just wanted to say to the Professor, (without giving anything away), re my request that you see the Mummy:  I’m very, very sorry.  I had no idea.
