Dear Media Diary,
Today is Monday April 13, 2020.
Ian Fleming, Burt Reynolds
Boing Boing posted an article about "Burt Reynolds as Bond" today, which prompted me to write this on the comment board:
On the one hand, Ian Fleming wrote beloved children’s book Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car.
On the other hand, I went to see Boogie Nights because I was in a serious blue funk and needed a good Burt Reynolds comedy to cheer up. No joy: in fact I came out of the theater truly shook up by the very disturbing fight scene.
