something----------------------------------------- if I had to choose one person who has influenced my life more than any other at all. I would choose myself. if I had to choose another that has changed the course of my life. I'd have to choose someone else. if I had to keep choosing more and more people. I might, eventually, choose macauley culkin. yes. it is amazing, yet it is also sort of true: macauley culkin has affected my life to an extraordinary degree. it all began when I saw the cover of this month's FACE. or maybe it was earlier. maybe it was when I saw 'home alone.' or maybe 'uncle buck.' or maybe when I heard he'd got married. or when I saw 'home alone 2: lost in new york.' or when I saw 'my girl 2' and wondered why he wasn't in it. or when I thought about it and remembered he'd died at the end of 'my girl' or some shit. actually. I haven't seen 'my girl 2.' have I? but when ever the fuck it happened...it made an impact. yes. a hero of our time. of our time. I suppose it's the only something something something. and for all the masses he something something and what for something he had something of something something. he is/was/something: a hero of our time. or a hero of his time? whatever, something. but seriously. M.C. [as I would call him if I were his friend and he let me call him M.C.] has been present or a part of some of the most momentous moments in modern history. indeed: perhaps not HIStory. yes, maybe not, but DANGEROUS-for sure. mac [as I might call him too and yeah] appeared in michael jackson's 'black or white' video for that song. he was a kid on some stoop someplace and rapping and wearing a cap and I think michael was smiling at him, maybe. and I seem to remember his mum and dad were played by, like, some famous people too? or maybe they weren't. actually thinking about it I recall that his dad's VOICE may have been provided by dan castelaneta and checking for how I should spell his name I find that it's actually spelled dan castellaneta. and that I'd almost got it right. but that I don't know how to spell the other it is, in fact, macaulAy. Not macaulEy. haha. but: yes. dan castellaneta didn't provide the voice of culkin's father at all. he provided home! r simpson's voice AS ALWAYS. but why there? no. the father was potrayed by george wendt of NORM! cheers fame. [whatever.]. now, his mother was played by norma jennings from 'twin peaks.' isn't that interesting? http://us.imdb.com/Credits?0317313 you'll see that adolf hitler and wesley snipes and magic johnston and iman also appeared. what a coup! I've pronounced that differently there so that is sounds like a sort of an insult or something. yes, at the age of seventeen [maybe] macaulay married rachel miner [I think] and then they split up a couple of years ago. a couple of years ago too, but unconnected, perhaps, , macaulay played a guy called michael alig in a film called 'party monster.' I saw a documentary about the stuff that michael alig did. I saw it about five times, I think. he died and something else. like, he killed a guy. and had some drugs. I haven't seen that film, though. haha, checking my facts on this one too; I find that that wasn't a couple of years ago but, actually, next year. oh well. believe it or not: macaulay culkin is only seven months older than I am. it is up to you. I do know that macaulay likes sonic youth or pretends to. I do too. maybe macaulay is a fan of belle & sebastian and their music. maybe he's lurking here right now. reading this. etc. maybe not. but if he is if you are, macaulay: thank you. love, richard. [this post was not about that funny film with a funny alien in it called 'mac and me' but, rather, about the movie star and actor MACaulay culkin and about me too. read it again, please.]. if you'd like to write to macaulay, you can reach him here: mister macaulay culkin 124 west sixtieth street new york city new york state 10023 __________________________________________ Join http://www.toast.com today for your own free, flash-based webmail! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
