Films are most likely the number one most wanted form of entertainment in the world. The fact is that motion pictures are low-cost, generally loved and they have the power to sway us psychologically. When a film is based on actual events we learn from the tribulations of another person, and most of the time fictional films affect us the same way.

Let's be honest- The Lakers aren't exactly covered in question marks like something out of Frank Gorshin's closet. That doesn't mean there isn't anything to talk about. (Thankfully, because otherwise we'd be out of a job.) Winning a title is hard. Winning consecutive Larry O's is like trying to find an occasion to wear something from Frank Gorshin's closet on any of the 364 days of the year that aren't...

So since it's Saturday, Lagniappe and I spent the morning watching westerns on TV. This time, we watched Warlock, a 1959 movie starring Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn, and one of my favorites, Richard Widmark.(It also stars DeForrest Kelly of later Star Trek fame, and Frank Gorshin had a small, uncredited part as well.) The story was about a reformed outlaw turned deputy and a Marshal and his sidekick...
