  1. If they're going to have an Asian Bond, he should be Desi
  2. Been a fan of the theatrical release for a long time (owned it on VHS!). I wasn't aware of all the drama surrounding the production and the firing of the director, Brian Helgeland. He was later able to release the director's cut which has some significant narrative and stylistic departures from the theatrical release. Can't say it improved an already great film, but it's worth a watch. It's on Amazon Prime presently
  3. Great movie.
  4. Beef fajita party pack for one, mixed torts, refried beans, extra guac instead of rice. Monday night staple from Mr. Tiempo for ~$30 easily feeds 2. At 290 location they often give you the big queso...
  5. I rented a Ricoh GRIII for our recent trip to Italy.
  6. we saw them doing some sort of kick off event in one of the Piazzas in Florence and I was utterly perplexed. This explains
  7. We have just returned from our trip. I am going to need a few days to collect my thoughts, but suffice it to say we had a wonderful time. 2 full days in Florence, long weekend in Rome (with palm sunday at Ninfa Gardens/Sicily-Rome American Cemetery/Anzio), and 4.5 days in Napoli. More to come as I curate the 1600 photos. Napoli was as incredible as I’d hoped. If you are only stopping through en route to Amalfi/Capri etc/points furthet south, you are missing out. We booked a food tour through Culinary Backstreets that I can’t speak highly enough about. I will gladly seek out their offerings in other cities, and wouldn’t balk at doing the tour in Napoli again. Pos rep to PW for some solid recs. The margherita at 50 Kalo on our pilgrim route to Virgil’s Tomb was a masterpiece of simplicity that will live in my dreams until I die. Butter chicken at Sostanza in Florence will be something I feebly attempt to recreate for the rest of my days. Lmk if any of you assholes has an olive grove I could use a steaming hot cup of octopus broth right about now.
  8. We visited Escorial and Segovia. Both were great. In Madrid, I recommend the Museo de las Americas. It's basically all of the plundered antiquities of the new world. And a very enlightening exhibit on race-mixing. And shrunken heads
  9. prepping for Napoli
  10. casa paco pa pizza off the puerta del sol chocolateria san gines for churros & chocolate all of the other nameless places with croquetas y cervezas

  16. It was not a proper aperitif for R'Evolution
  17. MMA episode. That is all
  18. can I borrow this coyote?
  19. There's supposed to be a Scampia tour that postures itself as "this is not Gomorrah" that is supposed to be cool but I prefer the grittier depiction where they murder women and children in cold blood I'm thinking we'll leave one of later days open in the event the weather is nice to take a boat trip. Procida looks interesting.
