I've pointed out before that rage works well for you. and it does.

this reads like you didn't (or COULDN'T) stop to take a breath.

the extraordinary surprise in all this is that TFF not only sits through whole movies, but loves "Sunset Boulevard," which is--let's face it--a SMART movie.

it's too bad that Billy Wilder didn't live long enough to tell you his opinion of TFF. but I think we can pretty much imagine it and be within the ballpark.

I'd like to say that I hadn't thought about Wayne Newton in years, but I saw some kind of video in which he showed up sometime in the last two years or so. not that I was exactly happy about it. but yeah, TFF looks like a washed-up Vegas lounge act with no voice left, trying to approximate the pitch of his signature tune. I hate to say it, but your simile could easily apply just as easily to the same guy in what the guys on my block used to refer to as "The Mountains."
