Wild at Heart

It was one of those Sunday nights - up late, hot outside, a/c running full blast, couldn't sleep, surfing the satellite channels in hopes of finding a film that would bore me to sleep. In the process I stumbled onto the 1990 film Wild at Heart (Nicholas Cage, Laura Dern) playing on one of the MGM/HDTV movie channel.

I like strange. Wild at Heart definitely has strange moments. I mean really strange moments. It was refreshingly strange, my friends.

Why is Elvis playing here? Cage sings this song complete with a really fine impersonation of Elvis during a night of frantic night club dancing. It's a good old Elvis tune, one worth listening to.

If you're bored tonight, check out Wild at Heart but only if you like crazy, sometimes stupid, strange and wild films.

If you read What About Bob regularly, you will probably want to see and will enjoy Wild at Heart.

And that's a fact, Jack!

Bobby! If memory serves me correctly, this was filmed IN Sebastopol, with opening scenes at the Downtown Mall/SRosa, and scenes up at the River. Laura Dern's home in the film, shot in Sab-ah-stop-pool!!! Treat Williams also starred in this, as did Mary Kay Place...Treat, who starred in "Hair" was the bad boy in this film. But I don't remember Nic Cage in it, perhaps I've mixed it up with another film..????8thggf @ 12:22p.m. EXTREMELY smoky here and hotter than Hell.

Joanie? Do you stutter? Just checking. Damn! I left town before this was shot. Would have loved seeing and maybe living some of the craziness that went with this filming. You don't remember Nicolas Cage in this? Whoa girl! What were you smoking the night this played? :) Maybe it was your date?!

Blessed: How did I know that you felt that way? It's apparent that you're an Elvis girl through and through!
