c. A film I’ll not run here as it’s modern and violent, unlike what appears here generally. I owe Steve an SF.
Hoping this turns out all right … with Lizabeth Scott and Jane Wyatt … maybe.
“Pitfall is about precisely that. Forty something insurance man Dick Powell is getting restless. He’s seemingly achieved the American dream, wife, kid, nice home and car. And the nice wife is played by Jane Wyatt who was using this film to warm up for the queen of nice wives in the Fifties as Betty Anderson in Father Knows Best.
Powell is brought a report on a claim that one of the hired investigators Raymond Burr has. Byron Barr has embezzled money that Powell’s insurance company is covering. Barr has spent the money lavishly on presents for Lizabeth Scott. Powell has to check this one out for himself. Of course he meets Lizabeth Scott and nature takes its course. Barr mean time is serving time in jail and Raymond Burr has decided to stake out Ms. Scott for himself. Or maybe the right word is stalk.
So we’ve got Barr serving, Burr stalking, Powell cheating, what’s this Lizabeth Scott got to get all these guys hormones working in overdrive?
My description of Pitfall may have been flip up to now, but it really is a fine drama with no real heroes in it, except maybe Jane Wyatt. The best performance in Pitfall goes to Raymond Burr who is really a malevolent figure with his obsession about Scott.”
……
JH: Was thinking to m’sel that had I a wife like the character Jane Wyatt plays here, no way would I be looking at Lizabeth Scott … fool’s gold.
Phew. Running this as politics and events, rather than a feature/bio, mainly because of a brief minute or so meeting one of the characters in a park.
The 70s saw quite a few artists releasing songs, naturally, and one was Jackson Browne. The albums spanning the time period I’m looking at were Late for the Sky and Running on Empty but my meeting with him did not come until the 80s, during the Daryl Hannah period.
There are a few things which immediately struck me in the light of current events … leftists love bare feet and sandals, they’re beta and yet can be uncontrolled and even vicious if pressed. You might say the same about me and others of our side of politics but it takes a lot for me to finally attack and then it’s not lashing out like an association footballer but more like a rugby fwd … focussed violence for result.
Leftist women from those days had many men through them, they were often emotional messes, e.g. Marianne Faithful and if they were in Laurel Canyon, then drugs kicked in. In the article, it mentions JB’s and Joni Mitchell’s switch to cocaine from weed. Unless it was spiked, weed tended to calm a person down, e.g. Queen Victoria and the Indian hemp … coke though could do the opposite, making the person like, as JM said, “Like tissue paper, cellophane.”
Needless to say, the Holy Spirit had no place in them and thus the things which happened … happened.
Looking at the women JB partnered with … JM was an edgy fair hair, more thin than rounded … so was Phyllis Major, plus Daryl Hannah. All had mental problems … did he choose the type or was he susceptible to them, as I’ve been to a different type, though just as edgy, which I’m thinking reflects on me?
All those women accuse him of violence, which he flatly denies, plus one writer in the entourage of rock press etc. said that Joni’s thang was to push her man to distraction, push him away, then claim desertion. JB, being immature until much later, always on the road, was the diametric opposite of what those women needed … they needed a solid rock to anchor to, impervious to her crashing breakers … though eventually it would wear him down. The rewards though, at the good moments, are indescribable, even to a songwriter.
He was however “call me the breeze”, as so many of the era were. Sadly, I was too … my “anchored years” way too young for me … I wasn’t ready, I tried. By the time I tried again, I was too mature in that sense. The way it goes.
I met him because of a girl called Alex, a student of mine, whose father was a film director of note, somehow knowing JB.
While Daryl Hannah sat in a lounge some distance away, JB was introduced to me by said director, I was stupid enough to ask him what happened to his wife? Looking at it then, and a thousand times worse now … what a stoopid, stoopid question. She’d suicided. This was a few years before she, DH, went off the rails.
Just for interest’s sake:
Joni Mitchell 1943
Phyllis Major 1946
Jackson Browne 1948
Daryl Hannah 1960
Late for the Sky 1974
JB and Phyllis marry, son arrives 1975
Phyllis suicides 1976
Running on Empty 1977
Alex born 1978
JB and Daryl around 1983 to 92
The song Running on Empty was a staple for our road trips, along with many other tracks of course.
9. Lord Toby’s site has some interesting ones today
8. Very true
… they ignored the protests, waited, saw the backlash against Arla … and chose the dishonest, fraudulent by omission way:
7. This one’s from inside the capitalist citadel
6. The various High Churches are doing themselves no favours whatever
… with their behaviour as supposed Christians, just at a time the young are having a quick gander at faith as a solution … one can only speculate, had one not read the past few days at this site and at other sites, that these synods or council of elders or strange people, whatever, had zero concept of being rocks for the values of humanity, nations and families, that they’re quite brainwashed in satanic Wokery.
However, had readers been reading this site and other sites, then we should add “deliberately” to what the other side is up to … goal being the destruction of society as we knew it.

a) Questioned after a press conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Emmanuel Macron indicated that on the “subject” of pensions, “the prospect of a referendum is possible, but we still need to know what it will be on.”
b) Nicolas Sarkozy was imprisoned at La Santé prison on Tuesday, October 21st. His lawyers were quick to file a request for his release. This historic day also, and above all, demonstrates the breadth of his support.
c1) Rape gang survivor Fiona Goddard has resigned from the Liaison Panel of the Home Office’s inquiry. Which still doesn’t have a chairman…
c2) Fiona’s long letter [PDF].
d) Digital euro ‘seeks to solve nonexistent problem’. European banks are pushing back against plans for a digital version of the euro, warning they are being asked to cover the costs of the European Central Bank’s flagship experiment.

Some things I noticed when doing the rounds just now
… we have to be soooo careful with our sources.
(i) Julia HB on Talk TV can be ok but she’s a talking head, not a ferreter, a bit like “that Alex woman” and Paula London. Much ok but not all.
(ii) More vital to me was that one account was hogging my X timeline … Official Steve Bannon … had a quick look, yes I was “following”. Sounds a given, does it not? Why would I not follow?
But certain things became apparent soon (bearing in mind that I usually don’t visit X at this time). Various characters had appeared as pundits who looked legit … one lass I looked at had a piece on Karoline L and it was quite a hit piece … whom she’d married and why, how she acts like a child, how “we” should boycott the WH pressers and so on. Seems she’s press corps, meaning Dem left MSM.
Further down, other characters I’d neither seen nor heard of appeared, similar tone. Puzzled, I thought aha, maybe Steve B was just noting their rubbish in order to take them down. But it went on and on and on … by the way, what’s happened with Natalie Winters? Our Steve here seems not to have said, Steve Bn seems not to have said … was it refusal to accredit her in the WH?
Anyway, this Official SB reposting went on and on and on with Demonrat pundits, only them. Penny dropped for me … I checked Steve Bannon War Room account and it said SKB does not have any other X account. Ah. Uh huh. Had taken me awhile … so unfollowed Official SB.
(iii) Now for the meeting call off or not … yes, seems the US side wanted the “freeze” as a red line. But as I wrote last evening … why on earth would Russia agree to halt their advances if none of the other things were also agreed to … neutral Uke, no CIA or NATO presence? Plus winter coming … the Russ/Uke winter I mean. Just seems a lot of jockeying for position just now.
(iv) Night night again, catch y’all around 0700 or so.
