    If he was station in Okinawa for most of his career, he was eating ramen, drinking Japanese booze, watching anime and tanning on the beach most of the time.

    You say that as if it isn't a better career than any of us have.

    FINALLY. 

    i can't believe how badly democrats in general have bungled this issue, especially nationally. easy pickings for a massively bipartisan win.

    I'm in the minority that doesn't care for it. I think Ledger is great but it's convoluted, disjointed, nonsensical, and has a lot of suspect acting by the rest of the cast. So, it is  basically like every other Nolan movie that came out after it.

     

     

    There are five Nolan movies I enjoyed more than Dark Knight.  And four of them came after.

    Dunkirk isn't nonsensical.  It's slow and you don't have to struggle to keep up.  I fucking loved Tenet because I didn't even try to keep up.

    Playing the national anthem belittles others?  I mean yeah, making fun of a hilariously inept president with a funny slogan could be offensive, and I get that piece.

    It's funny how your 'humble' reply contains a nice element of the 'superiority complex" your fuckers embrace.  Oh don't forget how you are a self-described critical thinker also.  Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, and all of that...

    Parden me while I roll my fucking eyes.  LOlz.

    I was actually directing all of it at you, you whiney, eye rolling fucktard.

    Some a y'all carry around this boulder of guilt about America and it's simultaneously hilarious and insane. 

    Actually, it's just a sliver of guilt, it's well deserved, and it makes me a much stronger and prouder and critical thinker and citizen.  I  also don't have to lie to myself or belittle other Americans to satisfy some pathetic patriotic dick measuring contest.

    New high record in cases (750,000)… deaths the highest since late September

    Early on in the pandemic I was looking at infection and death rates a couple of times a day it seemed.  Then I just said "fuck it", what's the point.

    Any particular good links with the cleanest easiest to read US and world graphs?  I'm probably less interested in state and local than I am country and world.

    And studies have indicated that the boosters are helpful, particular in relation to Omicron. So, it isn't like getting a booster is worthless. I can't imagine the political shitstorm it would cause were Biden to ship a hundred million doses of vaccines around the world while hospitals fill in the US and nearly 1.3 thousand die daily in the US . 

    That is a good point.

    His arrogance ruined his career,

    Given what he accomplished the arrogance is understandable.  Even if you throw out his movie directing career, he did a lot. 

    Great interview with Marc Maron (Good god, Maron is a great interviewer and PB a great interviewee).

    http://www.wtfpod.com/

    This guy just took the bull by the horns and did shit.

  9. One of the best interviews I heard of PB was when he was talking about the tragedy of the lost Magnificent Ambersons.  How when Orson Welles original was screened, 90% of the viewers didn't like it and 10% thought it was the greatest movie they had ever seen.   And then the studio destroyed Welles original.

    Guy really loved the movies.

    Have never watched LPS, love Paper Moon.

    I envy you.  LPS is damn beautiful.

    As much as I liked LPS and Paper Moon, I simply didn't get any of the other PB flicks, other than Mask, which I thought was good but have never wanted to rewatch.  PB really knew his stuff and his interviews are great, as was the TCM podcast about him.

  11. Saw my allergist today for annual checkup.  As we were finishing up I brought up the whole issue of "do you need a vaccine if you just had the virus".  And she fucking W-E-N-T-O-F-T!

    Said the idea that an immunized person would be any more protected or less likely to pass on the virus than someone who just got the COVID, or that someone who has recently had the COVID would increase protection with an immunization is just crazy. 

    She then jumped off of that and went into a rant about how big pharma and the CDC have made it so much harder to do the right thing, which was to immunize everyone once here, and then focus on the rest of the world getting one shot before we worried about boosters.  At the very least we should have provided assistance to them in getting their folks immunized with non-Pfizer/Moderna/J&J alternatives.  

    Very disappointed in the current CDC, which seems "more captive and less credible" every day.

    Doctors -- pretty confident, self-righteous dudes, on the whole.

    Interesting that Mike Pence, of all people, may be the "stand up guy" from the Administration.

    Even more interesting that one Dan Quayle apparently was the one that helped him find his spine.

    Those boys come from good stock.  I always find myself rooting for them.
