Classic Red

Henner as torch songstress Lil Sheridan in Johnny Dangerously



Can you tell we watched Johnny Dangerously last night? Best send up of the old gangster films ever made. A film that had a script that was almost all one liners and quotes. Hey, do you know your last name is an adverb? My father hung me on a coat hook once. Once!

I didn’t have much choice in the matter. After the spectacular and mind blowing season finale to HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, we pretty much had to give old Johnny a spin in the Blue Ray. Sweet. And Marilu Henner never looked better. Heck, she still looks great, and is still working, doing single episode appearances in any number of current TV series. And on Boardwalk, I can’t see an episode with the yummy Gretchen Mol in it as Gillian Darmody without noting how much her character resembles Henner’s Lil from Johnny, even though the two characters have nothing in common. Just two beautiful redheads in period costume. But damn ... when Gillian tried to inject Gyp with the heroin during their kinky B&D sex romp ... and later when army veteran sniper Richard Harrow (my man, the guy in the mask) went on a shooting spree at the whore house to save Jimmy’s son Tommy ... and Nucky played on Doyle’s duplicitous nature to set Rothstein up for a big fall with the law ... and Capone and Chalky with the crew served machine guns in the woods ... man oh man, what an episode!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
