All look exciting and in need of rolls of cash to eat there....

Maybe I'll save up for my 60th birthday SF extravaganza, though these might be closed, no longer good, or spun off a legion of new Michelin 3* joints...

"mexico... mexico... the arriba country"?

With the release of “Nashville” and “Jaws,” the summer of ’75 delivered both the culmination — and the beginning of the end — of that period. “Nashville” seemed to incarnate a film buff’s hopes for American movies. Here was an artist putting the machinery of popular culture to work for the sake of art, yet entering into the spirit of popular culture and partaking of its energy too.
