My office has trended away from ties post-pandemic, but I have a more formal event tonight with tie required. I have a closet full of Brooks Brothers ties, but think I’ll take this opportunity to upgrade with 1 or 2 higher quality options. Any consensus on brands that can be bought on sight? There is a Brioni store and Turnbull and Asser store near my office (and Bergdorf if need be), which seem like solid choices based on internet sleuthing. I’d like to stay under $300.

For those not watching, Durant has been torching the Knicks all day, so the Knicks start double teaming him every possession. His teammates predictably collapsed. So tie game under a minute left, Durant says fuck it and goes against a double team and nails a 3. Finishes with 53. Guy is insane. I’m not a Kyrie fan, but I guess I’m hoping he ends up getting his way just so Durant has a shot in the playoffs.

Masculine Feminie also great, but was trying to limit to 5. The first time I watch Band of Outsiders, I had already seen Pulp Fiction about 100 times. When the dance scene came on in Band of Outsiders I was like

It's one of my all time favorite movies. A masterpiece by a master. As far as Godard goes: 1a. Breathless 1b. Le Mepris (Contempt) 1c. Bande a part (Band of Outsiders) 4. Pierrot Le Fou 5. Vivre Sa Vie

Hey Wade, take a big step back and literally fuck your own face.

Agree, excellent movie.

The people you describe will jump right back on the bandwagon when a winning professional sports team gives some semblance of pride to their life that is otherwise mired in mediocrity. Winning cures all

You learned how “insidious” propaganda is from sports coverage on European backpack trip? Damn, thoughts and prayers brother. Not sure how you recovered from that.

Tell me about New York City

Had an absolutely awesome meal at Mena last night, a newish place off Cortland Alley. Recommend -
Eh, I like Sam Elliott, but listening to the podcast I don't think his point was limited to what you are saying. He was basically offended by an advertisement describing the movie as a take down of the "American Myth", which he took personal offense to given that he of course has had a hand in perpetuating said myth. He was also miffed by the "homosexual" nature of the cowboys throughout the entire movie. Maron said, "yeah, I think that was the point". Nothing to get worked up about, just not a very thoughtful take by him.

I think you understand the movie quite well. Campion was clearly trying to present characters filled with complexities that weren't depicted in the Western stereotype (e.g., gay men, alcoholics struggling with depression, etc.), while also trying to tell an intriguing story, while also shooting a technical masterpiece. Plenty of valid criticism for this film: it was plodding at times, the ending of the surface-level story was fairly predictable, some of the characters were overly exaggerated, and, I guess, it wasn't shot in Montana (for me, whogivesashit.gif). But criticism levied by a drug-store cowboy like Sam Elliott that the film inaccurately portrayed a stereotype that made him wealthy, just falls a bit flat.

Bam is playing fucking awesome right now. The East playoffs will be such a grind this year.

As previously stated I liked (not loved) Power of the Dog, but I listened to Maron's podcast with Sam Elliott on the way to work this morning and thought I was reading through Surly! Full summary here: Indie Wire Some choice quotes. By the way, Sam Elliott was born in Sacramento, California, grew up in Portland, Oregon, and has spent his entire adult life in Los Angeles. But he certainly spent his fair share of time on Western movie sets, and I guess his Texan parents regaled him with stories of the old west.

My second favorite movie of 2021, Drive My Car, hits HBO Max tomorrow. If you have 3 hours to spare and are ok with subtitles, it’s a tremendous watch.

You ain’t lying. The clientele at every Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons in Western Europe just dramatically improved overnight.

Yes I’m aware. I was using B side as a stand in for old tracks most of the viewing audience hadn’t heard. I saw them play Thrills at two shows in December. They play the bass hits almost obnoxiously loud with blinding flashes of light throughout the entire song. It’s a fun song but a weird choice for SNL. Yr City is one of my all time favorites, and fortunately it’s become a tour regular.

Saudi Arabia, FIFA and Facebook. The company you keep.

Eastwood actually already has it in preproduction.

LCD broke out some old b sides for the show last night. Loved it but kind of odd they were selected with no new album.

Sure thing, Comrade

You clearly underestimate the military prowess of middle aged Texans who’ve read Guns of August on more than one occasion.

Never forget. The Party of Personal Responsibility

I think AquaTerra blue dial is next up on my list. Beautiful watch.

2007 by itself had at least 4 “truly great” movies in TWBB, NCFOM, Zodiac, and Michael Clayton. Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford isn’t far behind.
