    I'll watch for sure. Big fan of Natasha from Russian Doll. Never really saw her in anything before that. She was kind of a hottie when she was young.

     

     

    She seems so high in that interview. Love her in Russian Doll and Poker Face is on my list. Her voice has gotten much more raspy in the last couple of decades.

    If I die doing something stupid I also want it to be described as a freak accident.

    Reminds me of that line from the X-Files when Clyde Bruckman tells Mulder "There are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified one than autoerotic asphyxiation." I don't know, getting shot by your dog is up there.

    As far as Austin area retail record stores, I have been going to Piranah in RR, and End Of An Ear on Ben White, near S. Congress/1st Street. Am I missing something? I know about Waterloo, but I hate engaging traffic to get to it. 

    Anyone else remember going to the record store on the drag at 21st after class? A Saigon eggroll and going in there are pretty fond memories.

    BLK Vinyl is excellent.

    Love Wheel Records is small but they have a well curated used selection.

    Love Wheel also has a 3-legged shop dog named Joe. So, cherry on top.

    That whole scene was so damn great. 

    Spoiler

    Is it when Erin asks how many Catholic officers they have and he says "Counting the Jewish fella from Ballymena, three?"

    That’s very cool.

    That wasn’t Grandpa’s guitar too by any chance was it?

    Nope, his guitar is with my brother. That's my guitar. I call her Lucinda.

  6. When my grandpa died in 2018, I got his 1952-ish Sears-Roebuck radio/phonograph.

    It hadn't been functional in ages, but my mom and dad fixed up the exterior so we could at least display it. My husband and I had always wanted to get back into vinyl, so a few months ago we finally got around to making it functional as a record player - kind of. My brother had always wanted the internal turntable to display at his place, so we removed it, cleaned it up, and got rid of the ancient, decaying wiring.

    We put a new turntable in the shelf where the old one had been, and added some powered speakers. Nothing really expensive or fancy, but now we can play records out of the refurbished device. It's pretty cool. Thanks, Pawpaw.

    This. Caught myself a few times not paying attention but wasn’t worth rewinding to see what I missed. It would have been better to knock 20-30 minutes off the runtime as well.

    Did anyone not realize that Mona Lisa was getting destroyed the second they showed it? Surprises in a movie like this are welcomed and that was the opposite of a surprise.

     

    Spoiler

    It was definitely Chekhov's Mona Lisa. Also, Blanc has a boyfriend and it's Hugh Grant, right?

    I got a VPN on my personal computer so I could watch it in June and not have to wait until when the fuck ever it aired in the US. I will miss this show so much.

    Who would have guessed that weird looking kid would end up having such a good career?

    Have you seen The Great on Hulu? He's wonderful in it.

  10. I didn't realize, until after I saw this movie, that Nicholas Hoult was the kid in About a Boy. He's done a lot of good work since then. I'm looking forward to Renfield, for sure.

    Need some guidance here. My wife and I have a German Shephard who tuned 1 in December. He had his "no puppies" procedure today and the vet sent him home with the cone of shame. Problem is he is a big dude and him trying to move around the house with the cone on is like trying to have a mobile satellite dish in our living room. I have heard about an inflatable donut that can be used in place of this giant cone.

    Does anybody have any experience with or opinions on the inflatable option? 

    Yeah, we have a small house and when our 100-lb lab mix has a cone it's rough - we have to keep all breakable stuff off the coffee table, end tables, etc in the common areas because they're all at risk between his cone and his giant wagging tail. See my above comment re: the inflatable collar.

    Will the donut work on large 100lb dogs with a long body?  Feels like i would need an inner tube to keep them from reaching the stitches. 

    It does not work on my 100-lb, long-bodied dog, but I don't know if he's outside the norm. He figured out pretty quickly that he just needed to puncture the tube and get it to deflate in order to get to his stitches. E-collar is the only thing that works for him.

  13. Eh, sure we have problems, but so does every big city and there's still no place in Texas I'd rather be. (And we need to be in TX to be close to family.) There's still charm, and things to love. The lady down the street from me has a mini-horse she dresses up for Halloween every year, and we always make sure to walk by her house to feed him carrots or apples. I went into this shop on North Lamar last week and was greeted by the owner's 3-legged dog. Dan's burgers still taste like they did when I moved here in 1999 and they're still my favorite burgers in town. I still laugh at the OG El Arroyo's signs. I still enjoy White Christmas at the Paramount in winter, and their summer movie series in the summer. Etc. 

    (The caveat to the above is that I recognize that I'm fortunate enough to have been here and bought property before things got too out of hand, and that we can afford to live here. I know my tune might be different in different circumstances.)

    You know that metal plate in my head? I had to get it replaced cause every time Catherine revved up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for half an hour.

    Hand to God, I watch this every year and even after ~35 years, this line makes me legit laugh out loud.
