I had a big cardboard cutout of Burt Reynolds (taken from spec savers, I think?) from the end of school through university. Not entirely sure why...

The NY library actually has a copy of that on *VHS*. The idea of a Blake Edwards remake of a Truffaut film is still bizarre.
Burt voted for Trump, so no wonder he was dumb enough to turn down the Nicholson role in Terms of Endearment.

apparently the song was originally called Prisoner Dog but they changed it because someone misheard the lyrics and they liked the misheard version better

He was brilliant in The Beiderbecke Affair, so many lines I repeat to this day. I made soup in a cooking contest in China and told a local journalist it was "lurking vegetable soup" and she actually printed it in the paper. RIP Dudley.

According to Ted Gioia on Twitter, saxophonist Big Jay McNeely has died at 91. I had no idea he was still alive. You can figure out everything you need to know about his style from this immortal photo:
