Someone must've told him his ass is showing.

Well, Casablanca is a favorite film of mine, and its global premier was the same day as my birthday (just 27 years earlier). I'm also considering Fargo or the Big Lebowski. There will be no sparkling vampires, however.

Anyone done this before? If so, what was your general experience, costs, etc?
I've submitted an email to them asking for more info. Looking to rent either a big micro-theater or a smaller main theater for my birthday. Thinking about having them screen Casablanca and my wife & I might come in character as Rick and Ilsa. Maybe encourage others to dress up as well. My wife wants to do something special with friends for my 50th (furk...I'm officially gonna catch a case of the olds), but we're kinda limited if we do it on or near the actual date since it's close to Thanksgiving.

Oh hey, it's another PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT morning.

A&M has over 20% more students than UT, yet fewer faculty. That is one thing that caught my eye.
Stupid sip. Fish camp alone enbiggens the aggy brain like 500%. So they're already like, super-DUPER smart before they take their first class so they don't need to have all of them fancy professors and teachin' folk like other schools. Advantage aggy.

MASH is the gold standard. That was pure brilliance. Legendary sitcom + iconic ending = win.
I love the ending of Newhart. Greatest shock, tongue in cheek moment that only works because of the brilliance of two separate shows. But it's a great laugh, not the gut punch & tears of MASH.

I wound up buying that iron-on off of ebay, $15 plus shipping. I'm going to order a shirt that matches the one I had as a kid and have a local place heat-press it. Not sure if I'll wear it out in public but I'm doing it anyway.
Does anyone remember just how little those types of decals didn't breathe? As in, your chest would sweat like a mofo and the shirt would stick to you like flypaper.
At least that's what I recall as a kid in MN with the C-3PO version.

Excellent to see Toyota stand up to dotard. It's clear Trump's grasp of economics is on par with a middle school kid in Bumfuck, Arkansas so having one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world who happens to employ almost a half million Americans clap back at him & his ridiculous tariffs is a pretty fucking big deal. There's gotta be someone in Trump's inner circle who can sit down & explain to him the economic impact if Toyota decides to curtail their investments in the US, right?

I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead. Used to crawl to the weekend with hopes of maybe getting 5 or 6 hours of sleep. Woke up in a panic about work at 3AM this morning. My phone knew what was up as it gave me a notification that traffic to work was light & my commute time was 11 minutes.

Second single is out. Bruce will be the first to tell you he doesn't have the best voice, but he sure as hell gets everything he can out of it. Feels like a kindred song to Girls in their Summer Clothes.
Just pre-ordered the vinyl version.

Such a huge part of my childhood. Tim had it all: timing, delivery, physicality...he really didn't have a weakness yet made it all look so easy.

I'm stoked for this. Love the haunting, rambling sound of the first track. Just calls for a west Texas road trip. He recorded the album seven years ago & left it on the shelf while releasing 2 other albums. And he announced in an interview with Scorsese the other week that he'd recently written an album of E Street Band material. The guy's not slowing down.

Just calling out white privilege where I see it.
Bullshit. You're the old lady at McCain's stop declaring Obama's a muslim. You're the voice from the crowd in Trump's Florida stop last week calling for people to be executed at the border.
You fool no one.

He's got the De Niro bug. There's not a script out there they'll say no to for a paycheck.

This echo chamber has made you worse, not better.
When they say that we have the government that we deserve, they are talking about YOU.
This is the equivalent of an alcoholic screaming at the bartender for serving him yet another drink.

I remember when Sam had to package their Cream Stout (surprisingly good for the era) as Cream Stealth here do to the asinine Texas laws that forbid the sale of beers of a certain style above a certain alcohol content. They had radio ads with Jim Cook mocking the fact, and how it was a beer so good they had to change the name to sell it in Texas or something like that.

My favorite line in the movie. Supposedly John Larroquette ad-libbed it and the director didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Reitman had no idea what a loofah was.I wish I was a loofah.-

Roy was unstoppable when he wanted to be. It's tough to think "what could've been" for a guy who was so dominant, but it was too easy for him most of his career so he never learned to work hard at his craft (and his coaches didn't hold him accountable).
Somewhere in my mind I recall after he housed his first TD as a freshman he ended up in the endzone near Bevo. He said something like he thought for a second about hopping on Bevo's back to celebrate, but he saw how big his horns were & changed his mind. Good decision, RW.

all the women in my family share this opinion, minus jim sticking around.
Yeah, my wife has the hots for pretty boy David (and he's damn good at his job). But I thoroughly enjoy the lack of manners Mandy Dugan shows on a daily basis.

looks like the line of storms thinned out some.
It's not giving up just yet. Still not much wind but rain is still coming down at a good rate. Lightning & thunder is picking back up. Long rumblers.

Been pretty mild here in south Cedar Park. Some heavy downpours & electric show, but not much in the way of winds. Feels like it's dwindling already.
Over rated shit you just don’t get

This type of thread--which shows up every few months--reminds me of SXSW keynote speech given by Springsteen (already called out on this thread) back in 2012. It's a long but great read/YouTube watch (the video's better since his self-deprecating humor is much more apparent).
The tl;dr/dw version is "no one agrees on anything anymore. Whichever band/genre you think is the greatest, someone else believes just as passionately is the worst and they suck. And aspiring young musicians need to be aware of both arguments about their own work while maintaining that music is both deathly serious and only rock 'n roll at the same time."
