  1. Now that's how you surly. The scene where Jack/Spacey puts the $50 bill on top of his shot of whiskey when he recognizes he needs to BE a cop for the first time in a long, long time is so damn good. The whole film is a study in personal reckonings. How people betray their ideals in pursuit of a life that can be justified. "I doubt you've ever taken a stupid breath. Don't start now."
  2. This topic has been beaten to death, but the entire film takes place over Christmas. Bud's introduction. The decorations. "Merry Christmas, officer." The lighting of trees. The 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' headline after the jailhouse beatdown...it's got xmas all over it.
  3. That's a perfect scene. Two words. Two camera shots. Acknowledgement. Recognition. They're both swimming in the same murky waters.
  4. And that influence is benefitting the citizens of America how? It's clear she's had next to zero input or ability to prevent the orange shit bag from doing anything he, Miller, Musk et al want to do. She clutched her pearls while he dismantled USAID. And now she has the sadz.
  5. Saw Joe join Bruce on stage a number of times, including once at FEC during the encore where Joe led the E Street Band through a shit hot & rocking "All Just to Get to You." Joe owned that spotlight, and I can still see the image of Bruce & Stevie with huge smiles on their faces standing behind Joe & watching him burn the place down.
  6. Counterpoint: Renee Russo was hot as a firecracker [emoji3455] & naked so it was absolutely worthwhile.
  7. He's on a night train to the big adios.
  8. "Susie who? I never knew her. She might have taken my coat once or maybe brought me a Diet Coke when I pushed the button on my desk. Anyway she's useless. A horrible person. Bad judgment. Nobody I asked seems to remember her but they didn't like her. And frankly she was ugly. Next question. "
  9. That's the most rational Woods has sounded in years. But he's still cradling TFG's balls with the nonchalant "distasteful" criticism. Distasteful? That's all you've got? For a man who you openly profess your admiration, appreciation & outright love to because of the opportunities, respect, & compassion he showed you? "Hey Donald. Rob was a friend of mine whom I deeply respected. Stop being an asshole & calling him 'deranged' simply because he disagreed with your policies. Try showing some respect for a person who fiercely loved this country & worked to support her ideals vocally & publicly." Would that have been so hard, Jimmy?
  10. Oh fuck this news all to hell. It's been a good 15 years or so since we last saw him at Gruene Hall. It was a cold December night just before Christmas and the place was pretty full. I remember how he just casually strolled in through the front door past us as we were sitting by the stove. He nodded and said "hi" then a few minutes later was on stage & burning the place down with his performance. Gonna be a whiskey and Letter to Laredo night tonight.
  11. Rolo...Tamasi. And if you don't consider this among the best Christmas--or any season--movies ever you're a booger eating moron.
  12. 1. Jack Nicholson 88 2. Roger Daltry 81 3. Barbra Streisand 83 4. Jack Nicklaus 85 5. Mike Ditka 86 6. Madonna 67 7. Al Roker 71 8. Michael J. FOX 64 9. Mary Lou Retton 57 10. Adele 37
  13. There is no dark humor as hysterical as Brooks relaying to Reiner how Brooks' father passed away at the Beverly Hilton immediately following a comedic routine where he brought down the house. "Is there a doctor in the house?" and the crooner sent onstage to sing his big hit of the day (that was about a lover being destroyed by grief) to settle the audience.
  14. That's not measles. Those are Freedom Scars!
  15. Well damn.
