Captain Ron (1992)
Family finds self
Every time i want to laugh, when i see this movie on, i catch a glimpse. This movie is guaranteed to make you laugh. And Mary Kay Place is such EYE candy for us men. She represents the type of woman we men would ask to marry. Beautiful yet supportive of her family and children. However, Kurt Russell steals the show. This movie was a role reversal where Martin Short is the serious one and Kurt is the odd-ball. It excellently shows how an outsider can help indirectly to save a group from its own fears and inadequacies. anyway, you will laugh your head off. The location shooting was just beautiful - makes me want to purchase a boat.
Talk Soup (1991)
Laughter beats Drugs
After being kicked out of the Marine Corp in 1992, I went through a 2 year downward spiral of depression and drug abuse living in cheap motels that had cable TV and the new E! cable station. One thing I will never forget after all the drugs was gone is Greg Kinnear brilliance during the 1992 - 1993 season of Talk Soup. He was truly a master. I never heard of Talk Soup or Greg before I saw him on E! and believe me, Greg wore me out with laughter so hard that it knocked me into sobriety many times. His deadpan humor was not the conventional stuff of comics but on a whole different level altogether. I remember watching him immediately after Ophrah had just interviewed Michael Jackson for a one hour special. Greg ripped into Michael and I loved it along with Michael. Greg was OFF THE HOOK and I never forgot HIM or Talk Soup because of his off beat sense of humor and his take on the insanity of Talk Shows. If Greg hosted that show today, I would watch it because he was so good at examining the ridiculousness of Talk shows. I always said back than that one day, I hoped that I would be able to purchase episodes of Greg when he hosted Talk Soup and I hope that day is soon. Thanks Greg for the fun when my life was miserable - man, you may have "wasted" a lot of the drug I took when i watched you, but I am a happier man for it today. I will never, ever forget that season.
