Other Crap

It is a sad day for lovers of bad movies. Screenwriter Ed Kelleher, offbeat screenwriter, dies at 61

• And what a career he had! Some of his better reviews included "barely coherent," "ridiculous dialogue," "inept," and "deliriously insane."
• His less favorable reviews probably used words normally reserved for the mouth of Regan when she's facing an exorcism.
• If the obit is accurate, he and I went to the same college as undergrads. Based on his 1943 birthday, he would have graduated from Fordham a year or two before I arrived, so I never knew him and frankly, I never heard of him until today. I looked him up in the Alumni Directory, and he was not listed.
