Hello dear readers,
This is a post to tell you that there is no post this week. I’ve been traveling for the last few days so I’m taking a quick break from the blog for some rest and relaxation. I’ll be back next week with the first in my Class of 2025 series. I also recently finished writing the post for movie #800 (!), which I’ll publish in a few weeks. No spoilers about which movie it will be, but I promise it will be a super post, man.
One quick story of my travels before I go: I have spent the last few days in New Orleans’ French Quarter for the first time. We visited lots of great places, including a tour of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, which has an interesting NFR connection. I took this pic of the Charity statue at the Italian Mutual Benevolent Society tomb. You may notice that its right hand is missing, and it turns out it’s Peter Fonda’s fault. During the filming of “Easy Rider” in the cemetery, Fonda climbed up onto the statue’s lap (as seen in the film). After the take, Fonda grabbed Charity’s hand for leverage, only for it to break. This has led to less productions being allowed to film within the cemetery, so thanks a lot you stoned hippies.
I’m back in California this week meeting up with old friends, but we’ll return with your regularly scheduled Horse’s Head next week.
Happy Viewing and watch your hands,
Tony
