RIP Yma Sumac.

If you’ve never been into exotica you might not know of Yma Sumac, but she was pretty much the queen of it.

I woke up today and heard the news about Paul Newman but I don’t think it’s really hit me yet.  I guess maybe because I knew for a while that he was sick, so if anything it felt like the inevitable had finally happened. Cool Hand Luke is my favorite-film-of-all-time* (where do you think I got the name for this blog?!) but I’ve never seen it on the big screen.  I’ve been excited and telling people about how The Castro Theatre is showing it on October 7th. I still can’t wait to see it, but I can already see myself bawling like a baby. *Actually, there are three movies that I consider my “favorite.”  Just deal with it.
