Haven’t seen casting this far off since they cast that smoke show to play Yolanda saldivar in Selena

Y'all are in for a bunch of surprises if you start looking up actors who play historical characters. Shockingly, the actors almost always look better. Crazy.

[Hook1997 5241]

The Greatest Night in Pop, on the making of We Are The World is good.  Still crazy to think they got all of those people together to record all night after an awards show.  Pretty cool seeing all the footage from the recording.

I tried to watch the new movie about the GameStop fiasco and turned it off.  I am horrible at ignoring sunk cost.  I've turned off, maybe, 10 movies my entire life.  Really sucks because I'm fascinated about the subject matter and loved all the similarly themed movies like The Big Short.

It’s no Big Short but it’s watchable compared to most Netflix movies.

The Misfits.  All I can really say about this piece of shit is that Pierce Brosnan must be in desperate need of cash.

Movie said he made it to play for the Expos for 4 years.  Maybe just their farm team, but it sure seemed like they meant the big league.  Either way, like you said, a great story.  

 

Reminds me that it’s astounding no one has made a movie or even a documentary about Jim Abbott yet. Born with only one hand and he went on to not only make the MLB, but throw a no-hitter. Easily one of the greatest sports stories ever.

If you like cooking shows, Dinner Time Live with David Chang. It’s live on Tuesdays. Caught the first one today.

He had the dude from Beef and Rashida Jones. It’s live and like someone’s cooking for you at the chefs bar. He fucks up and makes mistakes. This one was about three dishes from one chicken. He is far more personable than usual.

Best dish. He melted a tub of vanilla haagen dazs to make a fast crème anglais. Put Krispy Kreme donuts in a skillet to heat em up. Sauce in bowl. Hot donut. Some vanilla ice cream.

He made some great dishes. Told some stories. We liked it.

It wasn’t vanilla ice cream on top. It was Cereal Milk ice cream from Milk Bar (Christina Tosi).

It’s fucking amazing. Heb just stopped carrying it (even when they’re open). It can still be found at Target though.

I’m going to watch this. I just rewatched the video which was a true event of time; I think Cyndi Lauper was the only miscast singer; she just couldn’t sing her line. How they got all that talent there and made a cohesive song out of so many voices has got to be amazing.

Unfortunately these days too many stars would refuse to sing with some others due to political differences.

I missed that on the show. The recipe on the show site just calls for vanilla ice cream.

He didn’t get a solo.

Fuck yes. I've been all about the historical dramas/docudramas lately.  Already went through both seasons of Rise of the Ottomans, The Last Czar (with a UT prof. as one of the experts, hook 'em), Cleopatra and starting Alexander the Great this weekend.

Yeah, but this time Chester A. Arthur won't be the replacement. Instead, it'll be Neal Dow because he had the more interesting story.

Praise jebus. Just the other day I was complaining to an HEB cashier about the dearth of riveting Netflix specials RE: James Garfield.

It was a neat project, but the song sucked. Band Aid did it first (and better).

Sure, but there are 40+ superstars trapped in a hot recording studio. It's near 4am and most of them have been awake for almost 24 hours. 

Stevie decides the song needs swahili lyrics, even after being told

• They don't speak swahili in Ethiopia
• The people this song will benefit will most likely never hear it
• The song is intended for english speakers who will buy the record

The articles I've seen said several other artists were pissed off that this thing was turning into an out of control clown car; Waylon was just the only one that said "I'm out"

Ray Charles - “Willi what! Willi moing-gu, my ass! It’s three o’clock in the goddamn mornin’ – I can’t even sing in English no more.”

Yeah when I saw previews that called Blanco a Colombian folk hero I was all the way out. She was a sick bitch that had children killed.

NASCAR:Full Speed is pretty good. It’s a 5 episode, DTS style chronicle of the playoffs. One takeaway is how different NASCAR is from F1, both in personalities and technology. Another was that Denny Hamlin is an asshole.

at the beginning of the pilot, they use the escobar quote about how the only man he was ever afraid of was a woman named griselda blanco blah blah.  i assume the quote is accurate, but we kept waiting for her to be scary.  she spent a lot of time bitching and moaning about being a woman, getting taken advantage of, and people not doing what she wanted all the time.

she wasn't scary until she started smoking crack, and i don't think that was the scary that pablo meant.

Im with yall on this Griselda thing. It's not terrible or anything. I think the actor that plays Dario is great. Sofia is fine as fuck, and i believe Griselda was actually pretty good looking when she was younger, so im not bothered. It just seems like an idea that's been done to death, and has all the usual tropes. "I do all of this for the family", etc.

[tbone_ 13991]

John Wick. So fucking bad. Just terrible.

Here's a shot of Griselda with Escobar.

Attractive to a degree.

Watched it last night, not too shabby. It also reminds me why I quit watching, too much drama. Just race, old school race.

I think Denny wants to win and knows his window is closing...always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

I watched the first episode of some sci-fi series called another life about first contact.  What a piece of shit.  The plot made no sense, the CGI was bad, the acting was worse, and it was like my daughter was the science advisor. I haven’t decided if I’m going to watch the second episode yet

[Pam Cummings 9423]

The Tourist. 4 episodes in and it's very good with lots of suspense.
