As we remember Robert Weston Smith, a.k.a. “Wolfman Jack”, born on this day in 1938, here’s what has my attention…

• Brian Grubb has a point about “an Ocean’s movie every 18 months”.  Structure them like the old “Big Broadcast” movies from the 1930s: thin on the plot wrapped in heist action instead of musical numbers.   A heist staged in the middle of a heist movie?  Why not?  A heist on a cruise ship in a Transatlantic race from New York to London?  Set sail on the HEIIIIIST BOOOOAT!  A heist during the Summer Olympics?(pencil that for 2028).  Find two French actors in a Speedo to play Danny and Rusty.  A heist resulting in a getaway taking place during a “sea to shining sea” cannonball race?  You bet your ass!  Danny Ocean will be played by Pedro Pascal dressed as Burt Reynolds.  Fuck it, let’s bend time and space.  Have a “heist-off” between Clooney’s Ocean crew and Sinatra’s crew that happened to fall into a wormhole bringing them into the present.  You’re welcome, Hollywood!  Send the $5000 now, I’m down to zero.  [Type Click Type]
• If you know this guy from Channel 3, and know the “Urban Legend” behind him, you’re from Philly.  [Facebook]
• Speaking of Philly, the city might get anywhere from a dusting to THREE FEET of snow.  Nobody knows, except “a-lickey-boom-boom-down“.  #iykyk  [Inquirer link, YouTube link]
• Huge THANKS to Richard (from “Parts Unkown”, I dunno) for his generous donation to Splatterama 2026.  Still a ways to go to meet the goal, so drop some coin at the handy link riiiight… HERE!  (You too can get a shout-out for donating.  Seriously.)
• That’s all.  More stuff coming tomorrow.
