hit followed in '79 and then that was it.Lora Logic (saxophone), B.Germfree Adolescents in 1992.Unfortunately, this version of the group did not include Poly, and according to a recent interview with Lora: "...Jack died in the early hours of August 13, 2004 after a typically brave and determined fight against cancer for the past two and a half years.He is survived by a wife and two children.Corporate and Public Relations BBC Press Release issued by Corporate and Public Relations on August 13, 2004:
I am sorry to have to give you all the very sad news that Jack Stafford died in the early hours of this morning after a typically brave and determined fight against cancer for the past two and a half years.Ray Spex (with singer Poly Styrene).He had a wickedly funny sense of humour, and his recent bouts in hospital for treatment were invariably described with the characteristic wit we grew to know so well.The man wrote THE NUTTY PROFESSOR and THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED, so let's show a little respect, OK?It's like Quitely's character stepped off the page and onto my already crowded bookshelf.Rockford Register Star's Web site.In case you don't know, the Register Star is where I work.But hey, you never know.Then come right back here, dammit.I'd managed to never see it until this year.It's got a gorgeous black and white look, and lead actress Jean Seberg (an American, actually) is heartbreakingly cute.Too bad she came to a bad end.Here's a link to my original review.Naturally, something terrible happens and there's a run on the bank, and naturally Huston almost loses everything only to have his faith repaid (literally, in this case) by the little guys he put his faith in.NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN was a return to form for the Coens.William Hurt as Kevin Costner's imaginary friend?Three word review: Not enough Walter.And one thing RATATOUILLE does is push the bar on rats in the kitchen.I'm sure it will eventually become Allison's latest animated obsession.Pixar movies (say, for instance, FINDING NEMO, which I've become a bit of an expert on) but the animation was better than ever, with the two big leaps this time around being speed and reflected light.Not sure why it got some bad reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.THE HOAX was an interesting little drama about Clifford Irving's attempt to get a Howard Hughes autobiography published, despite the fact that he made the whole thing up.Once again, Criterion came to the rescue, with a loaded DVD edition of the movie.Boy, is he fun to watch.So that's it for another year.Hey, but we had a lot more NEMO this year, didn't we?DECOY was weird but fascinating, with Jean Gillie playing a dame so hardboiled that, during her death scene, she calls the detective over and spits in his face.Van Heflin, who apparently sold out his fellow soldiers to the Nazis a few years back.Read the LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET entry in my Horror Movie Marathon here.It's just so perfectly Homer.And it was, for the first 97 minutes or so, with orderly professor Robinson getting drawn into a murder investigation conducted by his buddy, Raymond Massey (another actor I always like).Pegg's previous effort, SHAUN OF THE DEAD.SUPERBAD was hilarious, but you probably knew that already.HOUR PARTY PEOPLE was a movie I kept hearing great things about but resisted seeing because I didn't know much about the Manchester music scene.And, thankfully, it didn't disappoint.Cronenberg's ever present (and disturbingly clinical) intelligence raises the film beyond it's lurid premise.It's a surprisingly powerful moment.November
