Like a Hole In the Head

Product Information

To his surprise, Tony is impressed with Eloise. Ally also takes an immediate liking to her. Mario offends her, however, with prying questions about her late husband's will and finances, causing Tony to confess why they were introduced. Eloise reveals to Tony that, having lost both her husband and son, she appreciates the notion of being with someone who needs her. The old childhood pal, Jerry Marks, now a wealthy promoter, invites Tony to a party. Pretending to be prosperous, Tony explains his scheme to buy land in Florida and open a second Disneyland there. Jerry seems interested in being his partner again. The film introduced the song " High Hopes" by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, a Sinatra standard used as a campaign song by John F. Kennedy during the presidential election the following year. [4] Sinatra portrays a lowlife dreamer named Tony whose old friend Jerry Marks, now a rich man, expresses interest in his plan to build a Disneyland in Florida (the film predates Walt Disney World by 12 years)—until Jerry notices that Tony seems too desperate when the latter cheers for a dog upon which he's bet heavily. The movie ends with Tony, his lady friend Eloise, and his son Ally singing "High Hopes" on the beach. Sinatra sings "All My Tomorrows," another Cahn/Van Heusen song, under the opening titles. UPDATE: I was so excited when I stumbled across this book in a small town thrift store. I didn’t read this book in years, I hadn’t even thought about it in years. Then there it was, like an old friend you see across a coffee shop in a city where you don’t even live. This is a book about a book, to put simply, but to be more in depth, it's a book about detachment, about holding onto intangible things while others put so much value on material things.

I don’t remember what I was thinking about at the time, but it was pretty much about yelling at a beast without putting a face to it In 2020, Kerrang and Billboard ranked the song number eight and number two, respectively, on their lists of the greatest Nine Inch Nails songs. [16] [17] Music video [ edit ] Literally a beaten man, Tony decides it would be best if Ally lived in New York with Mario and Sophie, telling the unconvinced boy that he is unwanted. Tony goes off to the beach by himself, but Ally finds him, and soon Eloise happily joins them. Mario and Sophie decide to take a long overdue vacation. Pretty Hate Machinewould go on to sell three million copies in the US alone, setting up Trent Reznor as a reluctant figurehead for a generation of angsty, awkward kids. Head Like A Holeitself became a landmark song for Nine Inch Nails and the industrial genre.The song has been the encore for most NIN shows (especially the Pretty Hate Machine Tour Series), or the last song before the encore if an encore took place. There are live videos of "Head Like a Hole" on the DVDs And All That Could Have Been and Beside You in Time. [20] And yet…Upon rereading this book, I realized I didn’t need to reread it. Everything I was going to get out of it, I got the first time. I didn’t gain any new insights or discover nuances I’d missed the first time. The main character is fascinating while simultaneously being very vague guarded about herself. What I concluded in the end, and this is a bit of a SPOILER, is that Jill is seemingly putting herself through her own purgatory whilst considering whether she wants to stay alive or not. She is full of regret about her mother, and she has been adrift ever since. She wonders whether she deserves to be okay or to suffer. This book has a lot to offer: The protagonist is an emotionally scarred alcoholic with a heart of gold who works in a used bookstore. There’s a borrowed motorcycle as mode of transportation. There’s a trip to Vegas. There are bad guys, and one of them is a dwarf! And the whole mystery, the main conflict of the plot involves a book! Grow, Kory (2019-10-20).
