The Original Greaser Bob

I'm not convinced I should watch it again but I've seen every movie nominated for Best Picture in the last 25 years or so so will not let this ruin my streak. Academy making it tougher for nominating so many flicks, but good on them for nominating a challenging flick.

I've lowered my standard for expected justice. I just want to read that some transvestite has beaten his ass in a bar fight. Or this:

If with a skateboard he was hit, You must acquit.

Grand Prix (1966) I don't think there is a movie with a more disparate level in quality between bad ass coolness (racing) and moronic deadness (romance) than this flick. Eve Marie Saint was horrific -- is she always this bad and was just perfect in On the Waterfront? Garner was pretty terrible too. Was he just told to be a boring asshole in this flick. Was Steve McQueen not available?That being said, the chicks besides Eve Marie were great - Jessica Walter wow. The best thing was the Frankenheimer race scenes and tracing it to his later films.

It was phat, you know what I'm sayin'?.

I' don't even remember the credits or them being annoying. Maybe I was thawing some girl scout cookies in anticipation of lesbianism or German kink. Tar was about 10x less difficult to sit through than Everything or even Elvis (I did love the Legas scene but only the Vegas scene). But that was a well fucking crafted movie. I wish we were talking about how preentious Bardo was in this thread because que pretenciousa!

I didn't like it and I bailed -- not looking forward to trying to rewatch. I thought it was a screechy mess, but I'm a bit intrigued by the best actress nomination now.

no message.

1) All y'all acting like this: 2) Shaggy motto no. 89?

PS Fuck Burrow.

Oh! *sigh*

Wife and I have been using "It's like Africa hot" about 40 times a summer since we saw the movie. Kids use it as well but don't know the reference. Now that everyone is so goddam woke, my wife only says it when no one other than me is around. Me on the other hand, will say "jambo" to any group of African Americans I see, especially in a cafeteria/dining hall. Just being friendly..

Kate B. will win. She learned conducting, German and piano for that role and she's mesmerizing and terrifying. It's a very Kate B. part but it's such a pure and perfect performance.

Tar is kind of a badass movie. I am starting to feel like it might be the best of these, I was actually bored by All Quiet and haven't finished. If Elvis got in on style points, fuckit, they should have nominated 3000 Years of Longing.

Yeah, did not like Elvis. Actually stopped watching Everything. Just too darn loud.

Bardo should have been nominated for best pic. Other than that, I haven't seen enough to opine.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Been trying to get around to this for about 40 years. I actually thought it was pretty good. I thought it terrible on why God exists and there was some pretty dated nonsense, but I thought he did a good job on Christian discipline - faking it until you make it, what "it" is, understanding that you may waiting in the hall and not already admitted, and I liked his explanation as to why Christians are likely to be assholes.

Their Stanford men are better than our Stanford men.

I was never a cowboys fan growing up - fucking hated them to be honest, but I moved to the bay area for school just a bit before this play. Kind of made me an instant SF hater and erased my hate for Dallas. By the time I moved to Dallas, and when Jimmy Johnson came on, I was okay with the pokes.

My favorite cultural thing was seeing the Orozco mural at Cabanas Institute. "man of fire"

Technically, it's "tiggle tiggle tiggle".

So for lots of reasons, I'm trying to limit red meat consumption - but limit, and not eliminate. Same goes with fowl. I have no limit on crawdad. I'm trying to locate recommended sources of wild game meats as well as sources of poultry that is a bit kinder than factory poultry and fish that might be more sustainable than most of the stuff I currently buy unthinkingly at the grocery store. I'm not a hunter and don't plan on becoming one. The Peter Attia podcast had a guy a while back who ran Maui Nui Venison out of hawaii -- Axis Deer. I recently sat through a painful podcast on the hidden cost of cheap meat (Ezra Klein) so that has me thinking as well. Do you all have any recommendations for any mail order, specialty stores or grocery stores that have a good selection of "sustainable/low factory imposed cruelty" meats? (and fowl and fish as well.) It's a pricey approach, but I figure some of you might have some advice and some "it was good and suprisingly cheap" experiences. I'm in Dallas so have access to Whole Foods and Central Market. For all I know I just haven't tried hard enough and I can get everything I need there.
