I dunno, to be fair Chris Pratt isn't really 'leading man' handsome and therefore not particularly memorable. He's just sort of generically handsome, whereas Harrison Ford, Johnny Depp, James Dean, um... Christian Bale maybe, and pre-fat Marlon Brando and those sorts of guys are 'leading man' handsome. He isn't *strikingly* handsome in a way that makes him stand out from the thousands of generically handsome faces we see in the media every day.

I got nothing against the guy. He seems pretty cool and I've liked his work, but I don't think his face is ever going to sell movie tickets.

First they ass-raped iconic Motown hits, pimping soap and biscuits and orange juice and now, raising the dead to sell chocky??

How about a Bela Lugosi Clamato™ advert or James Dean in a Volvo campaign??

Ah,Ha ha ha - Holy Crap - I'm glad these guys weren't given the roles - that felt more like a Streetcar Named Desire or some James Dean movie.

Everyone knows Sumo Wrestlers have tattoos of James Dean on them.

>> ^Memorare:
So the lesson here is... if you want to stay relatively young, drive faster than everyone else.

Worked like a charm for James Dean.

Hehe, love the Roy Orbison glasses.


They're just your standard Wayfarers... Audrey Hepburn, Kim Novak, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, James Dean, John F. Kennedy, Roy Orbison, Andy Warhol, the Blues Brothers, etc....

Her image was iconic, by not letting it her image age we will still be fappi... enjoying them years later...

On the same order we always think of Bruce Lee as being in his combative prime and James Dean as that young bastard from Rebel Without A Cause.

For all the naysayers, perhaps you need to have seen the entire episode. Without feeling the passion in the scene, it may seem supremely superficial.

Yes, the lead up to that scene was so awesome, consisting of Peter repeating surfin bird ad nauseum, a "people with aids go to hell" joke, a mangled vision of james dean post accident, and a random segway into the life of star jones. That's comedy gold right there.

Family guy has degenerated into a collection of random pop culture references, tasteless jokes, and inane filler, loosely bound together by a skeleton plot. I remember a time when it used to be one of the funniest shows on television but nowadays I can't even finish an episode because they are just garbage.

Verse 1
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died


So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Verse 2
Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock n' roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm & blues
I was a lonely, teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'


Verse 3
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the King was looking down
The Jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'


Verse 4
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
We started singing


Verse 5
Oh, and there we were, all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack, be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devils only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing


Verse 6
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singin'


Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die

They were singin'
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die

Oh, and in case you're wondering, here's the whole list (in no particular order):

1) Humphrey Bogart
2) Dean Martin*
3) Robert Redford
4) Christopher Walken
5) Robert Deniro
6) Willem Defoe
7) Paul Newman
Al Pacino
9) James Dean
10) George Clooney**

*Some people would put Sinatra in the list as a representative of the Rat Pack, but I like Dean better. The voice was just as good, and he seemed not to be quite as enamored with himself.

**I mean, come on. Can all our wives, daughters, moms, and sisters be wrong? I think not. But that's not what gets him on the list. He makes the cut because even though they aren't wrong, I don't resent him for it.

The title indeed comes from a painting. The original artist was Edward Hopper and his painting "Nighthawks," was of a diner in Greenwich village:

That painting was adapted into "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," by Gottfried Helnwein and featured Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Elvis Presley and James Dean.

Actually, there was a reinvestigation into the crash and while speed was still a factor, they also pointed out that due to the sunlight angles and direction of travel of both vehicles, there is the supposition that it might have been very difficult for James Dean to see the other car. Speed was still an issue, of course. I can't remember the name of the show, but it was on the Discovery channel.

A great movie . . . and James Dean was a pretty ingenious actor. (The monkey scene at the beginning.) Pity he died so young . . .
