I want you to do me one favour.

What's that?

I want you to hit me as hard as you can.

EXT. AN ABANDONED BUILDING - NIGHT
We scared each other pretty good, didn't we?

We sure did.

Once again Tim Doyle takes us to "locations that many of us know and have been to on a weekly basis at times, but we can never actually visit." It seems we travel in the same circles. (UnReal Estate 3 via Spoke Art)

Murphy Delivers The Law

There are only three Robocop commandments: 1. Serve the public trust. 2. Protect the innocent. 3. Uphold the law. There might be a fourth, but I can't tell you about that. (Tim Doyle for Spoke Art's Mucho Machismo)

Oh, but Moe: the dank. The dank!

Tim Doyle’s solo art show Unreal Estate is debuting at Spoke Art on Feb. 2, with Doyle "playing tour guide to his favorite TV locales, from Moe's Tavern to the Bluth Banana Stand to the Seinfeld diner." Doyle's work has great detail and feel for place, so this should be a great show.

"Mr. Orange dying in a 1972 Pontiac Lemans Coupe Convertible" is Tim Doyle’s tribute to Reservoir Dogs for Spoke Art's Quentin vs. Coen show. Here's part of his explanation of his inspiration from Slash Film:

"For me, the whole film is about the bond these two characters form- Mr. White and Mr. Orange. The entire caper, and all the character’s lives come undone because of the tight honor-bond that White has with Orange. Orange took a bullet in the gut and White is going to see him saved come hell or high water. It’s in this car that the seeds of destruction are sown, a pact made in a bloody hand-clasp. And damn, what a car it is. It’s a big honking chunk of US steel, and while it’s not out of place in the film stylistically, it’s a definite conscious decision on the part of the filmmakers."

The Vietnam War Movie Memorial

"I got to thinking about how much of our understanding of war in this country is filtered through the for-profit lens of Hollywood. And frankly, I think it’s gross. Multi-million dollar star vehicles showing us all how awful war is, but still with a slight sense of humor and a moral at the end, and the star never comes home with a permanent brain injury or a lost limb.

It’s these celluloid fantasies that help shape and sell the narrative of how we in America “understand” what’s going on in all those other countries we can’t spell properly. Many of us here don’t even personally know the name of a soldier serving now, much less one that has died in a past conflict."
