If given the choice I'd much prefer President Walken. Imagine the entertaining speeches he'd give: "The...State of...the Union is...strong." Then he'd do a 360 and tap dance off the stage.
"With a wistful sigh and smile—like he was remembering a French girl who kissed him when he drove his tank through a liberated Paris"
I like to hope that everyone experiences a moment like that (though not under such earth-saving circumstances), where a momentary locking of eyes or a chaste kiss occurs like two ships passing in the night, and the pair never sees each other again. It's a memory that will always be there to reflect on and ponder the possibilities of what might have been.
Also, though Paul Drake was a hound dog who chased any skirt he encountered, I think deep down, he really wanted a serious relationship with Della. Della though only had eyes for Perry. However... there was that one time Paul gave Della a ride home after the office Christmas party, and Della invited him up for coffee so he'd be more alert when driving himself home, and that's where your opinion kicks in.
Perry Mason? I got my lawyer ed from reruns of Law & Order (DUNH-DUNH!) Anytime I went back to Mom's in L.A. from my various homes in Asia (serial, not parallel), I caught at least SIX EPISODES A DAY. My favorites were with Vincent D'Onofrio, least favorites SVU, but I'd watch ANY of them.
That word. For the stuff in the center of a Three Musketeers bar. Can’t stand it. It’s like the word for something a little damp.
When I saw Christopher Walken tap dance on SNL (in the 90s?) I changed my mind about him. Before that he was so creepy I couldn’t watch him in a movie.
Never liked 3 Musketeers or Mars bars because a mouth full of nougat was like eating a bowl of sugar. But I needed another type of filling for the cartoon, so I lowered my standards.
Someone wrote that Christopher Walken could go from charming to creepy faster than anybody, but SNL gave him a chance to show how funny he could be and I'm thinking of The Continental sketches which I just found out were based on a real TV show.
According to the great Googly Moogly, Walken studied dancing way back in the day.
And at about that time, back in the day, Present Hitler was studying grifting.

Thanks for the column and the Walken links.
Any post that has Christopher Walken dancing is worth reading. I may start using him all the time.

Never caught the Law & Order bug, but anything with Vincent D'Onofrio is worth watching.

Dude can flat dance, though.
