It wouldn’t be heart to pull off.

I saw this sign on Luck Avenue.  If I leased a space from Poe & Cronk, I’d call them up, demand to speak directly to Poe, and complain about “THE BEATING OF THAT HIDEOUS HEART” under the floorboards.

I’d be joking, though.  (It would be just a Cronk call.)

Throwback Thursday: “Real Genius” (1985)

Leave a comment

I remember seeing “Real Genius” in the theater in 1985.  Man, did I love it.

I don’t think anyone thinks of this movie when Val Kilmer’s name comes up — he’s more likely remembered as Jim Morrison, Batman or Doc Holiday.  But he was actually really funny here.  (And does anyone really want to remember him as Batman?)
