So I've never been interested one iota in seeing Marathon Man but in looking for this picture, I learned that the screenplay is by William Goldman (Princess Bride).
DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIE! It is fantastic BUT you want instead to first read the novel by William Goldman.
Like the Princess Bride, the movie is only a small portion of the fantastic written word.
Also in that category, Magic by William Goldman.
Note, he also wrote the screenplay for All the President's Men.
And there's his fantastic non-fiction Adventures in the Screen Trade. He tells the story of this movie: Upon being asked by his co-star how a previous scene had gone, one in which Hoffmannâs character had supposedly stayed up for three days, Hoffmann admitted that he too had not slept for 72 hours to achieve emotional verisimilitude. âMy dear boy,â replied Olivier smoothly, âwhy donât you just try acting? It's so much easier.â
I'm an unabashed Goldman fanatic, as you might've surmised.
In fact, my first music cassette of my own music was titled "Here Come the King Bats" as a reference to Goldman (read Princess Bride) and Eno (Here Come the Warm Jets).

speaking of sweet Italian sausage, I'm going to a game at Fenway Sunday for the first time in many many years and I can't wait to get the old Sausage and Peppahs on Landsdowne before the game.
Well enjoy that, itâs is always a highlight going there. Unfortunately that might be the only enjoyment of the day.
Are you passing through the area or are you a native to the Boston area. Cause if you areâ¦
Grilled sweet Italian sausage and zucchini while listening to RP.

Waited an hour to see my cardiologist and the appointment only took about 3 minutes. literally.
I mean, he just asked me how long since I had the bypass surgery and said I'm doing great and
walked out. What a waste of time. I definitely won't be keeping the next appointment. Plus, I had to get up real early for the freakin appointment!
Caught the cheep matinee of NOPE at the nearby Dubly Atmos theater.
Better Half⢠and I both gave it a 4 out of 5. Doesn't remake the cinema experience in our lifetime - but pretty, interesting, and worth a viewing. Don't read spoilers before you go. Part of the fun is the ride of WTF?
