Henrik Ibsen Meets Captain Phasma
A movie review I will write and other things I will write about. No Yoda in this one, Solo: A Star Wars Story , directed by Mr. Commercial Filmmaker Himself, Ron Howard. Howard directed a great love story/urban fantasy, Splash , in 1984, bringing Daryl Hannah to my attention--thank you, Mr. Howard. Splash starred Tom Hanks and John Candy, Hanks before he was in everything. He had done Bachelor Party and his in-drag role on the TV sitcom, Two Cocks in Dresses , i.e. Bosom Buddies . That show starred Donna Dixon, a reason for my sixteen to eighteen year old self to watch it. Hanks and Peter Scolari dress as women to live in a sorority because campus housing is full to the max, like it's World War Two. Scolari, shorter, like a woman, pulls it off more so than Hanks's Buffy Wilson woman impostor. Buffy Wilson is a beast. Picture Tony Curtis as Josephine in Some Like It...
