Fun with my Brother
After listening to the "Dirt" album by Alice in Chains for the hundredth time, I turned to Michael and said, "I just realized that all the lyrics written by Layne Staley are about drugs and all the lyrics written by Jerry Cantrell are about death."
"Yup. And we know who won that face-off," he said.
I nodded. Beat. Then we said in unison, "Death."
.................................................
Over the holidays Michael and I were flipping channels one day and came across "Attack of the Clones" on television. It sparked a good-natured debate on the merits of the first three episodes of the Star Wars epic. Michael conceded that George Lucas should not have directed any of them, he should have handed directorial duty over to someone like Spielberg. THAT lead us to conjure up a list of directors who, although completely wrong for the job, might have produced a more interesting, if not necessarily better Star Wars trilogy. Some highlights:
Woody Allen
Martin Scorsese
Pedro Almodovar
John Carpenter
Michael Bay
Clint Eastwood
Penny Marshall
and my personal favorite...
Spike Lee
