I didn’t want to say anything, but Becky and I hit something of a rough patch recently. Things were going great, we were making out tons, and it all seemed to be working. Then Becky moved in.

Up until that point, she hadn’t really met my dog, Champ. Sure she’d seen him on the chair when she came over to make out, and Champ sometimes jumped in between us, but back then it was all cute and everything. We’d hug and Champ would pop up between us and split us apart and we’d laugh like idiots. But when she moved in, it just got too much.

Champ and I go everywhere together. We are inseparable, I couldn’t just kick him out. And I really like Becky, so I don’t want to kick her out either. We try make it work, but she really can’t stand the dog. Champ does this thing where he jumps on people and licks them, and it’s real cute and endearing. But Becky really hates it. She says her friends don’t want to hang out with me anymore. I’ve posted some pictures so you can see. Now tell me that isn’t just adorable?

I’m in such an impossible situation of a man, a woman, and my dog that stands between us, a filmmaker friend of mine is making a movie about it! Talk about stranger than fiction!

via Netflix: “In this documentary, reluctant Sheriff Brad Garrett (Robert Barone) is charged with the task of wiping the Old West clean and making way for a new one. He must betray his former cronies — among them, Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson). But as the ways of the West die off, the characters find their own identities fading into history, too. Ray Romano directs this landmark cinema verite film, which features singer-songwriter Doris Roberts and legendary cowboy Patricia Heaton.” Weird, but the best part is when he says, “Everybody loves Billy…” and touches his gun to his chin.

One of the most terrifying and ugly, yet somehow bland, menu screens on a DVD I’ve seen in awhile. “After an offhand boast costs him his best fighting cock — and his chances at the Cockfighter of the Year award along with it — Frank (Warren Oates) swears not to speak again until he has redeemed himself by winning that medal. But his fortunes continue to decline, and soon, he’s lost much more, including his girlfriend.” Apparently Cockfighter, a surprisingly great movie by Monte Hellman with Warren Oates, was also released as Born to Kill. But nothing in the Born to Kill promotional material happens in the movie. The DVD itself is no more accurate, with a woman taking off her top; this doesn’t happen either.

Babyface Stalone. From the movie Capone, 1975. Ben Gazzara plays a pretty ruthless and foul-mouthed Al Capone in a weird and kind of forgotten movie. And John Cassavetes has a small role as a mob boss. Definitely less Killing of a Chinese Bookie and more The Sting.

At the Music Box in between shows. I saw Call Northside 777, a pretty fun movie that was the first film shot on-location in Chicago. Jimmy Stewart alludes to some Chicago police corruption and misconduct, getting the puffed-up response, “You’re talking about the finest police department in the country!” Cue audience laughter. Chicago Syndicate was after that- a generic gangster movie with the best full-hand face-push ever recorded on film.
