Lucky me, my comics shop got all the 2000 ADs they could get. By the time Warrior came out, I'd been stuffed with Dredd and others.

Yeah, this guy's a real piece of work. He's demanded the DOB of the undercover cop who posed (as a 17-year-old) for the photos he received. wtf is he going to do with that?
He won't let cops into his laptop. Sigh. There's this: his wife filed for divorce within a week of his arrest.

Time to continue the Douglas Sirk journey. Next: Written On The Wind and All That Heaven Allows.
I've already seen A Scandal In Paris (1946) and Lured (1947), both with George Sanders, and was impressed. Lucille Ball in Lured was OK, but Carole Landis In Scandal was amazingly SUPERB.

Jane Wyman pushed for the 1954 remake. I can see why. She did a wonderful job, and "wonderful" applies.
Rock Hudson was raw, agrestic. He got a lot of help, and sometimes it shows.
If you watch the blu-ray's commentary, beware of repeated gay-this, Rock Hudson, gay-that verbiage. Sigh.

The commentary for the 1954 release treats Sirk with reverence, along with the special features on the blu-ray. The movies dispensed with the Christian overtones of the novel, for the most part, but the music in the 1954 release put them back in. I suspect that was a 1950s thing.

That paint might hold up the office. R value of 1, maybe 2?
Some disaster happened under my kitchen sink area before I bought this house. Replaced plumbing, painted walls and floor in there with exterior door paint and oh ghod it STUNK but it's, like, so *sealed* now.

"most Americans". Sigh.
Once, I laughed at some "most" phrase, thinking it was like "the hostess with the mostest", tried to explain, realized those nearby thought I was nuts, and shut up.
"Most" *must* be qualified.
