While we're at it:


BLACK COFFEE

I'm feeling mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor and watch the door
And in between I drink
Black Coffee
Love's a hand me down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room

I'm talking to the shadows
1 o'clock to 4
And Lord, how slow the moments go
When all I do is pour
Black Coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hanging out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry

Now a man is born to go a lovin'
A woman's born to weep and fret
To stay at home and tend her oven
And drown her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes

I'm moody all the morning
Mourning all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much hard to fight
Black Coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby
To maybe come around

My nerves have gone to pieces
My hair is turning gray
All I do is drink black coffee
Since my man's gone away

Then there's CHINESE COFFEE (music by Elmer Bernstein) but Al Pacino won't let anyone see it, far less taste it!

I read somewhere that it's finally getting released this fall in a box set of 3 dvds that will also include Pacino's excellent LOOKING FOR RICHARD.

and more....

There's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And there's ash in the pages
Now I've got myself lost
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye
With the way that you left me
I can hardly contain
The hurt and the anger
And the joy of the pain
Now knowing I am single
There'll be fire in my eyes
And a stain on my notebook
For a new love tonight.

From the lips without passion
To the lips with a kiss
There's nothing of your love
That I'll ever miss
The stain on my notebook
Remain all that's left
Of the memory of late nights
And coffee in bed.

Now she's gone
And I'm back on the beat
A stain on my notebook
Says nothing to me
Now she's gone
And I'm out with a friend
With lips full of passion
And coffee in bed.

Are there any depressing songs about tea? Nope.

Care to elaborate?

I have a rather unique, very intense reaction to coffee. Even with the faintest smell, I get dizzy, nauseous, spasmic, etc., and can pass out. I don't know if it gets any worse than that because I don't care to find out! I'm just supposed to stay away from it--and I do.

Spys, especially British spys, seem to make the best cups. Michael Caine in IPCRESS FILE has that, what-ever-you-call-it that he brews a cup of java in. Was it worth that much effort?

Then there was Roger Moore in LIVE AND LET DIE who brews up a special cup just for "M".

Personally, I love coffee, as long as it is brewed strong. French Roast or Columbian.

Why, when little kids ask their parents for some coffee, the parents refuse, saying it's not good for them, but it suddenly becomes good for you when you're an adult?

When you're working in a steel mill and you're logging a 12 hour day, coffee is definitely your friend. If you fall asleep in one of those steel mills, you can easily get killed by all the moving cranes and machinery. It was on that job that I developed my taste for java.

I'm with you, Rolo, but I prefer adding a touch of French Vanilla creamer.


Folgers French Roast with French Vanilla cream.

Gosh Dan, wise decission! You're probably better off anyway. After all, you wouldn't want to be a depressed and tormented soul like me, would ya? wink

Somehow the fact that Dan can't enjoy the wonderful taste and aroma of coffee endears him to me. I suppose it reminds me of my nephew, who has a serious heart defect that prevents him from having many kinds of foods and drinks. As a child, he used to march up to alarmed strangers in the supermarket and cheerfully announce that he was "the boy who can't eat chocolate!"

Hey don't hijack this thread and turn it into some PG Tips advert with chimps in pringle.
Actually i agree, i prefer tea, a splash of - uh - lady grey, but i feel i'm missing out on the coffee front. i think we get carte noir or something in this house - seems alright - nothing spesh.


EARL Grey!wink

By the way, I do like coffee, it's just that it doesn't like me. Although I have nowhere near the reaction to it that Dan does, it makes me juddery and uncomfortable.

On the rare occasions I do drink it I like Blue Mountain which a good friend of mine brings me each time he visits relatives in Jamaica.

I managed to find out some more solid information about the AL PACINO COLLECTION, which is now scheduled to be released April 24, 2007. It's a four-disc set, including his films LOOKING FOR RICHARD, CHINESE COFFEE, THE LOCAL STIGMATIC, and a fourth "bonus" disc containing something called "Babblelonia", which may be an interview, and some other extras. I hope this actually happens, because I'd love to have RICHARD on dvd.

Also, I just picked up a book of conversations between Pacino and Lawrence Sobel that looks to be a fairly good overview of the actor's career. I love Al.
