I Dream of Cox



“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.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
