DEPPFEST

Today's movie is EDWARD SCISSORHANDS(1990) and a triple header: Johnny Depp, whose festival this is; Tim Burton, whose work we like a lot; Diane Wiest, who (whom?) we love and have not seen since I AM SAM(2001) and additional bonus performances by favorites Alan Arkin and Vincent Price (we think his last one).

The idea behind the DeppFest is that, while we dote on Depp, we have not seen all of his pictures: passed on some that we thought beneath him or not 'our type' of film. We are throwing this over for a few pics that we think might be worth a try. We shall see what we shall see.

We liked this one; Burton's take on the Frankenstein story. I give it a 4 out of a Netflix 5.

DEA-NO

Oh well. He made a huge dent. I think that he needs to be careful how he handles this to remain effective and influential. He was a hell of a date. I am not hooked up again. No rebound effect. I am still in blur.

If this were about boyfriends, Dean would be one more stop on the impossible relationship trail: exciting, attractive, fun to be with, but self destructive in the end. Fortunately I have not played this out in my lover life, only my political.

I was right there with all the losers both national and local. Clinton was my one great success. The trouble with political relationships is that they are term limited; no 27 year runs for our guys. And, they never come back. But if Bill C. was on any ticket any where I would be back with him in a heartbeat.
