This is not a necroblog, si i decided to talk about my favourite actor before it’s too late.

I won’t tell you about his bio or his career because you can find them somewhere else.
I only say: “My name is Danny Crane”.

First reason to love him is this great performance with Joe Jackson on a Pulp’s cover.

The second reason to adore him is this great scene from Star Trek. Maybe is the worst fight scene that a camera has made immortal.

But the third reason is this wonderful commercial he was in. Really great.

Livia’s post is a must-read one.

The nineties is a ten year period located between 1990 and 1999. But when we say “the nineties” we think about now because not enough time has been past to remember that glittered feeling that makes lovely our feelings.

I know that can be incredible but i swear that at the beginning of the nineties we didn’t have the cell phone, our rooms were plenty of TDK tapes with freaky homemade compilations, posters and nobody knows why our diaries were so full of crap that we couldn’t even close them. They were plenty of silly thoughts, passions, platonic loves and so on…

Th nineties were a bunch of wannabes, patchworked portrait of a generation who tried do find its sense, when myspace was unthinkable. There’s someone who had been wearing barbour, levi’s 501 and Dr.Martens shoes for ten years, with long hair, with a white t-shirt under another shirt and scratched trousers. He was maybe trying to look like Kurt Cobain… Then all “the Crown” clones, with leather jackets to the hills, late-night nightmares if met early in the morning. Those ones with a stretchy tshirt and funky hair who used to slep all the week to get up on saturday night to get to the disco. And the real wannabes who used to wear formal during the day, casual for dinner, and as skater during the night. Lolita-girls with diamonded minishorts and boybands. Trash TV and trash music… And freaks. Because there are always freaks. They are the hard core of the twentieth century and i think we will never ged rid of them.
