  1. I order a whataburger w cheese for breakfast because I can get it fresh then.
  2. Flirting with Disaster. Every character is funnier than stiller but he is the central figure.
  3. He didn’t have to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court but he was fast. https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-celtics/2017/06/04/bill-russell-coleman-play-leadership/?amp=1
  4. The Sinful Nuns of Saint Valentine. Romeo and Juliette meet the Spanish Inquisition. Although considered nun-sploitation, it deftly considers the freedoms available in a regimented society. Can’t say just two thumbs were up and bravo for being made before the fake boobs era.
  5. Jeffie was Kim’s prom date and he just couldn’t be savage enough so she’s moved on before having to behead him ala Nadja.
  6. I finished it a few weeks ago. It was like a book that I could put down and eventually would pick back up again.
  7. Howard’s widow established that Kim and Jimmie were last to see Howard alive. After the wake, Kim withdraws from the bar. Logical reaction from the legal community would be that Kim and Howard were having an affair. How else do cliff and schweikert view it. Kim leaving is now a liability for Fring and is now perceived as a risk. Does Mike go after her and do we see the vacuum guy?
  8. Is Newman’s worst better than Redford ‘s best? I’m gonna have to think on that. Not that Redford sucks or anything it’s just that Newman kicks ass.
  9. Paul’s moments of rage remind me a lot of growing up with my dad. For us our family ended in divorce, and in the long term it was good for everyone. In the short term it was a constant mind fuck of emotions. These scenes are not my favorite but there is a certain logic to it and the narrative moves on.
  10. And nice touch with the psa at the end. I wonder if they did that for the British viewing. I like that it shows what once were funny but thin characters into complex and difficult situations and still retaining their sense of humor.
  11. I’ll go with jimmy's first wife. He was attracted to her drapes.

    USMNT 2022

    Costa Rica next to qualify for WC and then likely unbeaten Honduras to qualify for Olympics. We’ll see how tough this team is, playing Honduras on its home soil and I doubt we’ll get favorable reffing. Everyone else has at least one loss or draw except Honduras. But first things first, beat CR.
  13. Simon says: And I lived that with The Wire. The Wire was canceled after season 3, and The Wire was nearly canceled again — I had to grovel and beg and plead — after season 4. To their great credit, HBO listened, and on the argument of story – not anything else because we didn’t have an audience – on the argument of story let us finish. This is not a new dynamic. I’ve been living with this for the last 6-7 years. It just is what it is. https://ew.com/article/2012/09/23/david-simon-treme/
  14. Finished season 5. Although I’ve watched season 1 and 2 multiple times, this is first time to watch 5 for the second time. Liked it much better than first time seeing it. Standout was the journalism story especially Gus. Too bad there was no season 6. I’d like to see what they would have done with a focus on Hispanics but lucky that hbo let it go for as long as it did.
  15. I can’t wrap my head around this. Parent pays adult children as employees, but cpa does w2 with high withholding which once refunded is then compliantly handed to parent to pay in to a quasi life insurance trust for the child. One child has a full time job unrelated to parent and other child is a student Issue 1. Is the work legitimate? Gray area. Paid at higher rate than what work entails. Issue 2. Payroll and income taxes are paid so govt gets its share. issue 3. Is it bypassing gift tax if issue 1 is not considered legitimate? Anything else? Issue 4. What is blowback on children if irs investigates and issue 3 is confirmed?
  16. Smileys people and tinker tailor starting obi wan kenobi are badass. 6 episode miniseries on early 80s bbc. If you can get past the 70s tv quality then there are some brilliant performances by the actors. And the acidity of the dialogue just burns through to the core.
  17. Whoah. This shit’s too real.
  18. Love the small moments. The look between bubbles and pryz in the high school was hilarious. Both were wtf.
  19. He was terrific in Something Wild and picked up the energy of the movie.
  20. I’m enjoying the 3rd season. More for the mom and kids to do. Never thought I’d hear Bruce Foxton’s name in a sit-com. But makes sense with Freeman being a huge Jam fan.
  21. Clatter and roll - Darden Smith. I hit a bus on my bicycle at 4th and congress. Velma from Selma - Augie Meyers. Sold American or Ballad of Charles Whitman - Kinky Friedman Wacko from Waco - Billy Joe Shaver All the pretty girls - The Judy’s Brand New Way - Hickoids Telephone Road - Steve Earle Pigeons - Bill Callahan Bob Fudge - Colter Wall Beer Run - Todd Snider Mother Blues - Ray Wylie Hubbard Texas Me - Doug Sahm Haley’s Comet - Dave Alvin
  22. 3 good ones tonight with first two being knucklers. night of the hunter do the right thing Third Man
  23. I saw the Sorrow and the Pity before (it’s not short or trite). It really struck the point how comfortable the middle class was with nazism. The resistance was largely farmers and communists. I’ve seen parts of Shoah and those parts were emotionally devastating.
  24. Army of Shadows. We’ll done movie about the French Resistance. You rat. You die.
