  1. So the last month or so I've been sucking down the Cleveland Kimchi.  I add it to rice or green ramen.  It's partly because I was reading about the health benefits but mostly because it tastes fantastic.  Some canned fish, a little basmati and a handful of kimchi and you have a meal going.

    In any case, the wife says when she walks into the kitchen it makes her want to throw up.  She says the kimchi is coming from my pores.

    She's says it's got to go.  I don't think eating Korean on the outside is an option.

    We've been married a while and frankly its a close call but she does a great job of managing the bills, so the kimhci is going.

    Any banned foods in your house?

  3. Bad Mexicans (2022)

    Would have liked a subtitle like "But Maybe One or Two are Good People" or "What's an Anarchist to Do When the Revolution's Over"

    I liked this.  I did not know much about the turn of the century activity along the border, but it was very interesting and bloody.  Pure narrative.  Didn't know anything about the San Diego Plan or La Matanza. 

    A good wide intro to the early thought leaders of the Mexican Revolution.

  4. Yeah, I think anyone who really thinks about policies or progress will do the right thing, but it certainly seems like it will all come down to whether someone's grocery bill is "about what they expect" or "higher than what they expect".

    It's amazing that people don't understand the negative politics associated with intra-party challenges to an incumbency. 

    Or that people don't understand the negative aspects of staying the course.

    Wouldn't it be great if you and I could actually consider the alternative? 

    That would be really cool.

    Not just republicans but McCarthy and Mikey Johnson.   The same 2 dipshits  that were out negotiated and out maneuvered at every turn by Sleepy Joe.  That is their source for this "article". 

    That's not the way I understood the podcst on this. Sounds like they had lots of Dems and Republicans, and both were spinning the fact that he's obviously slowing down. 

    I'm not going to blame the media 100% that the Dems chose to stick with Biden.  We all knew the risks.

     

     

     

  7. So I just read a book Fever in the Heartland, and never realized that the Fighting Irish moniker came from the students battling the Klan in Indiana.

    Pretty cool.

  8. I'll drop this here, although Lake Highlands isn't really East Dallas.

    Goldie's, now where RM Bistro was, is very solid.  Great bar and small but well done menu.

    Ambiance is really nice.  Energetic front room and they've really turned the old RM Bistro patio into a nice space.

    Everything a few dollars more than you'd expect to pay in Lake Highlands, but still worth it.

  9. Anatomy of a Fall (2023)

    I tend to apologize for the French, but this was French in all the wrong ways.

    Although it did make me interested to know if the French judicial system was as portrayed.  That was some fucked up, stream of concioiusness, whatever you want to come into evidence shit.

  10. Saw it yesterday.  Disappointed.  The closing credits, which had Fury Road scenes, reminded me of how I thought Fury Road was robbed of the Best Picture. 

    I thought the story line on this didn't add to the admittedly fine and exciting special effects.  But holy fuck, you realize how much star power Charlize (sp) and Tom have.  They added so much to every scene, and these stars did not.  Tom is just fucking cool as hell and Charlize is simply captivating in every scene she's ever been in.

    Further, the effects on Fury Road felt pretty novel.  This one maintained the quality and had some very cool stuff but not as surprisingly fun as Fury Road.

    ATJ was good.  The little kid who played the young F. was more interesting, and when she was grewed up, the flick lost some momentum as well.

    Worth watching.  WAY too long.  Fury Road>Road Warrior>Mad Max>Furiosa>What's Love Got to Do With It Mate?
