A Modest Suggestion

Seems there’s no way, no how, for anybody on the coasts or in flyover country to take any interest in the goings-on of the Happy Hunter. All the media outlets have failed to generate excitement about what has been a truly spectacular career to date. What’s left to be done? Why, the movies of course. How about one of Tinseltown’s venerable cliché genre, the slapdashstick RomCom? What’s the word they used to use on those Cary Grant/Katherine Hepburn comedies? Screwball. That’s it. Get’em ROTF laughing, and they’ll be begging for more. Here are a couple of proposals for how to start, one for the foul-mouthed bicoastal elites and one for the flyover prigs who are, as everyone knows, hopelessly stuck in the past.

The coastal approach will be available on DVD and, hopefully, streaming. The flyover version, on VHS obviously, stars a guy no Millennial has ever heard of who was once a great prize-fighting milkman. Sounds about right. WARNING: Don’t click on the pic if you don’t want to see a trailer for an X-rated film akin to what a ‘Hunter’ movie could be if no punches are pulled in exploring the souls involved. But if you’ve never seen this iconic movie, maybe you should.
