I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Elia Kazan turns 93 Born September 7, 1909 in Turkey, Elia Kazan made a big name for himself as a movie director, particularly for A Streetcar Named Desire.
As a foolish youth Kazan dabbled in the commie nonsense fashionable among the literati. However he earned great ire from his old Hollywood pals by appearing as a friendly witness in front of the House Unamerican Activities Committee. He ultimately won the debate from his critics by pure artistic force, making his most highly regarded movie as a metaphorical defense. On the Waterfront starred full-strength young Marlon Brando rebeling against a corrupt labor union, explaining why he switched sides.
The cool people, however, pick as Kazan's masterpiece A Face in the Crowd, 1957. This tale of corrupt media figures follows the rise of a surprisingly evil young Andy Griffith like you never seen. Scene after scene of sexy wrongness- and a potent argument against democracy, really.
