hold on to your hats, jack kerouac lovers. a film of jack's great legacy of literature, 'on the road' is gonna be made into a film. this book that he 'typed' into existence and delivered to his publisher on one huge roll of paper is about to reach yet another generation. how wise a choice to cast sam riley as the handsome and uncompromising writer who both pleased and pissed off a lot of people.
watching kerouac read his poetry on the hugely popular steve allen show was one of the rare times i wanted to put my foot through the screen and into the face of the disrespectful host. i felt so bad for jack. well, he has been long gone and his resurrection is coming. sam riley was exceptional as singer ian curtis in the film, 'control.' fingers crossed.

ouch! pal, i am glad that scenario was just a shoot from the hip remark.
there is no way i could see you kicking out the front of a t.v when...
a. you don't own a t.v. and b. you would not jeopardize slivers or chards of glass that cosmo or kareem might step on. :)
love the projection though, healthy!
