I am very sorry to hear that. It must be hard to say goodbye. Very hard indeed, she was 16 years old and was by my side almost 24/7 for the last few years I have a cousin who just lost her 15 year old Chiweenie who had been by her side the same way. Very hard indeed.

I searched for it on YouTube and all I found was 2D clips.

I think Doc Savage needs another shot. Well Shane Black is attached to directing a reboot. Whether it'll happen is anybody's guess. Time will tell.

In honor of the memory of Rip Torn, some lines from the scene I posted.
"Daniel Miller: Is this Heaven?
Bob Diamond: No, it isn't Heaven.
Daniel Miller: Is it Hell?
Bob Diamond: Nope, it isn't Hell either. Actually, there is no Hell. Although I hear Los Angeles is getting pretty close."

No, I get the symbolism, it's not particularly subtle, but I don't see what it adds to the story at all. Smash the Mirror is Mrs. Walker's breakdown moment. Just seemed like out of place smush fetishism is all. Just put it down to Russell's excesses and I rather like the sequence. We are bombarded with media hype and consumerism and much of Tommy is also about this. I think in that context, the symbolism works quite well. But it is quite a cheese fest.

I saw it many times back in the early 70s. I was in the army and the film seemed to follow me from base to base. Very much a cult film. Nice looks at the American Southwest and as noted fine music, including an appearance by Delaney and Bonnie. .....and Friends. Don't forget the friends. I think one of them was Rita Coolidge.

I was a projectionist in the Bel-Art Theatre in Belmont, California when this movie was released. It was one of the better "anti-establishment" movies of its era, an action film with a disillusioned hero, Kowalski.
The score had pop songs that although perhaps from "secondary" artists worked very well. I bought the LP which is now long out of print and a collector's item.
I always liked the line in the trailer, "Now he uses speed, to get himself up, to get himself ... gone." I guess that sort of summed things up.

I haven't seen it in its entirety, although I do recall when it was screening at a cinema I was working at at the time. I have heard many good things about it and that it has a very natural and charming Streep performance in it too. Don't forget Shirley Mclaine in the Past Lives Pavilion. The movie is very polished even though from the "sets" used it obviously was shot on a very limited budget.
