I’ve Been Asked A Few Times To Reblog This One, And I Simply Hadn’t Got’round To It Yet. BUT, I’m Watching It Right Now…
…So I Figured Now Was As Good A Time As Any To Dust This One Off And Let It Shine Again!
Hope Y’all Like It As Much As A Couple Other Folks Do hahaha

“LONE WOLF McQUADE”
😀
It’s Honestly Chuck’s FINEST Work.
If You Don’t Believe Me, WATCH IT.
If There Were OSCARS Handed Out To Movies That Appear Almost As “ART” From A Turbulent Era In Film-Making…
“LONE WOLF McQUADE”
…Would Have WON THEM ALL!!!
It Is.
It’s An “ART-FILM” From The “1980s Action-Genera” WITHOUT QUESTION!
It Does EVERYTHING RIGHT.
Is It Odd ALL My Favorite Flicks Came Out In 1983???
This One.
“KRULL”
“FIRE AND ICE”
“OCTOPUSSY”
“RETURN OF THE JEDI”
“BLUE THUNDER”
1983 Was A HUGE-YEAR In My World.
It’s The Rest Since Then That’s…

I Was All Kicked-Back, Watching This Very Flick, When I Was About To Do-Up A Bloggin’ing ’bout It. Then I Realized I Already HAD Done A Bloggin’ing ’bout It! hahaha Soooooooooo… REBLOG ACTION IT IS!!! hehehe 😉

Well, My Peeps…
…I’ve Honestly Been Biding My Time On This One…
…Trying To Decide When The Moment Was Juuust Right To Bust Out With This Classic Favorite.
I Believe That THIS Is The Moment.
I First Had The Privilege Of Seeing…
“DEATH HUNT”
…In The Mid-1980s.
It Was A Personal Favorite Of Paw’s (aka My Grandfather).
His Movie Icon/Hero Was ALWAYS…
CHARLES BRONSON
…And He Was A Big Fan Of…
LEE MARVIN
…Also.
Most Folks Only Remember BRONSON And MARVIN Working TOGETHER In The Film…
“THE DIRTY DOZEN” (1967)
…And We Both Honestly DID/DO Love That One, Too.
BUT…
“DEATH HUNT”
…Was…
…In OUR Opinions…
….Even BETTER.
Period.
The Quickie-Skinny On This Flick Is…
CHARLES BRONSON
…Is A Trapper…
…Living A Quiet, Lonely Existence…
…In 1930s Canada.
Eventually, He’s Forced To Kill A Man In Self-Defense.
So…
…A Canadian Mountie, Played By…
LEE MARVIN
…Is Sent Out To Bring In…

The Song STUCKY-STUCK In My Head: “FLOWERS ON THE WALL” by The STATLER BROTHERS (1966)
“I Keep Hearin’…
…You’re Concerned…
…About My Happiness…
…But All That Thought…
…You’re Givin’ Me…
…Is…
…Conscience, I Guess…
…If I Were Walkin’…
…In Your Shoes…
…I Wouldn’t Worry None…
…While You And Your Friends’re…
…Worryin’ ’bout Me…
…I’m Havin’ Lots Of Fun…“

“…Countin’ FLOWERS ON THE WALL…
…That Don’t Bother Me At All…
…Playin’ Solitaire ‘Til Dawn…
…With A Deck Of Fifty-One…
…Smokin’ Cigarettes…
…And Watchin’ Captain Kangaroo…
…Now Don’t Tell Me…
…I’ve Nothin’ To Do. ...”

Is It Sad This Is The Most Memorable Song On That Entire Soundtrack?
At Least, It Is To Me.
I Think It’s Sad.
I LOVED The Soundtrack To…
“PULP FICTION“
…Yet This Song…
“FLOWERS ON THE WALL“
by The STATLER BROTHERS
…Is The Song That Generally Gets Stuck In Ye Ole Noggin.
It’s Cute.
It’s Catchy.
It’s Almost Infectious, Honestly.
I Can’t Even Believe I’m Admitting This…
…BUT…
…I LOVE This Song.
It’s One Of Those That ALWAYS Makes Me Grin Like An Idiot.
Is That Sad?
Really?
Is It?
Hmm.
I Dunno.
Well…
…Whether It’s Sad Or Not…
…It Doesn’t Change The Fact I Enjoy The Hell Outta This Little Number.
One Of The Major Strengths Of…
“PULP FICTION“
…Was Its Soundtrack.
One Of The Best To Come-Out In The 1990s, Fo SHO.
Everyone I Know Had A Copy…
…Or So It Seemed.
The Film Was Amazingly Popular…
…And It’s One I’ve Always Enjoyed…
(...though "RESERVOIR DOGS" is still my fave fave...)
…But Its Soundtrack…
…To ME…
…Was The Proverbial Center-Piece.
I Watched The Film Yesterday Evening Before The Cardinals Game Began…
…And Spent The Entire Ballgame Humming This Song To Myself.
It IS Sad, Isn’t It?
Isn’t It?!
Hmm.
I Sure Hope Not.
I Don’t Want Anyone Making Fun Of Me For It.
I Can’t Help It!
It’s Just A Damned Catchy Tune, My Peeps!
I SWEAR!
No Foolies, Fo SHO!
Sheesh, I Say.
Sheesh, Indeed.
So…
…Anyway…
…Y’all Know Bloggin’ ’bout A Song Is Generally The Best Way For Me To Get It Out Of My Twisted Brain…
…So That’s Exactly What I’m Hoping For In This Instance.
So Far?
Nah.
Hasn’t Helped.
I’m Still Humming It.
My Head Is Still Beboppin’ To It.
Knowing Me…
…I’ll Likely Have A Headache From Hell Before It’s All Over.
All Because I Couldn’t Help But Bebop Along To A Tune Most People Would Scoff At And Say…
"Jeez, Dude! CHANGE THE SONG! PLEASE CHANGE IT!!"
I Promise I’m TRYING, Kiddies.
I Really REALLY Am!
It’s Just So So SO DAMNED CATCHY!
Tell Ya What…
…You Try Listening To It…
…Then See What Happens.
I’d Wager It Gets Stuck In YOUR Twisted Brains, Also!
Again, No Foolies!
No Foolies, Indeed!
😉
Enjoy Your Day, Kids.
I Shall Endeavor To Do The Same, Fo SHO!!!
