Planet Hollywood
Is it Safe?
This is the question that Laurence (Olivier, the old Nazi dentist) has for Dusty (Hoffman, one of the best actors who ever lived. Actually, both of them are the best actors that ever lived.) Dentist is the keyword here. Just watch the movie “The Marathon Man” and you will see that there is no good answer to that question. None. Yes, it is safe or no, it is not safe; neither one works for the old Duster and it was not safe at all for the Dust Man. It was spectacularly unsafe for him.
Why am I grinding my teeth? This is why when he finally gains the upper hand it is a monumental relief and that is what the poster in my room is about.
You tell ’em, Dusty! My God, after what you’ve been through?! Jaysus.
There are posters of old classics all over Planet Hollywood.
Fatty Man
Poor ole Fatty Arbuckle. Boy, did they put that guy through the wringer. Just before they brought him down, he was the highest-paid actor in Hollywood in 1920. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And he was a big, fat man.
The great thing about Planet Hollywood is that it is right on the strip and it has a mile-long shopping mall underneath it.
