When you’ve made a choice to live your life without cable TV, finding something interesting enough to write about is often a dismal challenge. This is why I was was glad – and completely surprised – to see Chicago’s very own MeToo (digital 26.3) airing 1971’s critically-acclaimed The Last Picture Show at 3 a.m. last Sunday.
I was even more surprised to notice there were only one or two very short interruptions during the entire two-hour block, most notably by a flashback of the classic Keep America Beautiful “Crying Indian” commercial, which looked like it could have been filmed yesterday along the Grand Calumet River and the Borman Expressway near the Indiana-Illinois border.
