His story was so unusual that it was made into a feature film a few years later – and Wojtowicz used his proceeds from the film to accomplish what he’d robbed the bank to do in the first place. Quite a tale! Anyway, here’s my tribute to Dog Day Afternoon .

This has been a mixed bag. Partially, it's because for the true time-killers (for me, that's Twitter and waiting for texts) I have transferred to just watching on my laptop, which is still better (because I also do other things like actual hobbies, writing, and work) on those, but still not… ## [Conan the Barbarian (1982)](https://theworldofjot29.blogspot.com/2026/08/conan-barbarian-1982.html) _2026-08-09 · John T · The Many Rantings of John_ Film: Conan the Barbarian (1982) Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones, Sandahl Bergman, Ben Davidson, Mako, Max von Sydow Director: John Milius Oscar History: No nominations Snap Judgment Ranking: 3/5 stars Each month, as part of our 2026 Saturdays with the Stars series, we are looking at the men & women who created the Boom!-Pow!-Bang! action films that would come to dominate the… ## [I call this one “catharsis roulette”](https://berlynn-wohl.tumblr.com/post/824404363443421184) _2026-08-08 · Berlynn Wohl_ berlynn-wohl : I call this one “catharsis roulette” ## [i’m not even that much of a pervert i can just find the eroticism in anything. doesn’t get me…](https://berlynn-wohl.tumblr.com/post/824401912135811072) _2026-08-08 · Berlynn Wohl_ dykeferatu : i’m not even that much of a pervert i can just find the eroticism in anything. doesn’t get me bricked up necessarily i just like to appreciate it. ## [Every Channel.

Max Miller (R-OH) This past week, two House Republicans involved in massive political scandals have (thus far) seen very different outcomes. Rep.

Believe it or not, the movie M en In Black changed my life.

This is not a reassurance. Why would anybody who likes smut want to read smut that was only included as an afterthought and has no impact on the narrative? Insulting.

Kill Bill is a film so stuffed with both of these that I was able to make two whole vids, one slow-and-low ( I posted this one last Sunday ) and one non-stop fast-paced action (this one), and never had to even think about using the same shot twice.
