“Goddamn,
you play a mean banjo!”
-Drew
(Ronny Cox), Deliverance
Well,
that is possibly the dodgiest blog post title I have ever conjured
up.
Last
night, I had a dream that I was back at uni (we're talking ten years
here, worryingly enough) and that a seminar was being led by none
other than Ronny Cox.
If
he seems familiar, you might remember him playing the no.2 exec Dick
Jones in Paul Verhoven's SF masterpiece, RoboCop.
He
also played Mars administrator Vilos Cohaagen in Total Recall (again
directed by Verhoven).
Older
readers might also recall (pun intended) Cox as the law-abider and
reluctant cohort Drew Ballinger in Deliverance.
In
short, he's a bit of a ledge. Why I had a dream about him, I've no
idea. But anyway- this dream, yeah? I went to this seminar, then I
and a few other students managed to coerce him into coming to the pub
with us. He was pleasant enough, smiling and generally answering our
nerdy movie questions, and I was trying really hard to get my picture
taken with him. I don't think I managed in the end.
Freudists-
please help me decipher this dream. I may even attempt to contact Mr
Cox himself to get his perspective.
