  1. “Well King, this case is closed.”
  2. Watched Killing Them Softly this morning just for the hell of it. A couple of dumbass druggies rob a poker game run by Ray Liotta. Brad Pitt and James Gandolfini play hit men. Mametish dialogue makes it a stanger trip than one might expect. Filmed in grungy, blasted, post Katrina New Orleans but city name is anonymous. Director has recently resurfaced in new film "Blonde." I enjoyed the hell out of it.
  3. The Commitments, a damn sight better name than "And And Fookin And." The Commitmentettes can assault me any auld toyme. Great, great film. Cast, pacing, sound, story, all of it! And yes Imelda fookin' Quirke. "Ah'm sorrah mah Daddy puked in your trumpet." And then comes the look of awe from Colm Meany, awesome actor that he is. And here's a nice link, if you liked the dark haired Commitmentette -
  4. What can you make of this, Johnny? "Ohhhh! Let's see! A HAT, a BROOCH, a PTERODACTYL!"
  5. Hail Fargo! In with both feet since Jerry Lundegaard drove his car with that Olds with the factory undercoat on the trailer toward me over the hill in the snow as the orchestral sound track cranked up. Bring it on!
  6. You may be right but Bama has August two-a-days in the heat index capital that is Tuscaloosa. I agree 100% it should have been a night game. College football should never be played outdoors in the South before 7:00 p.m. until the third week of September.
  7. 1,1,1,2,1,1,3,1
  8. Sark has recently done time in Nick Saban’s brain trust. Nick has recently seen Sark’s reactions to down, distance and game situations. Does either of those factors mean shit? I “got” Bama for the same reason 99% of you got Texas. Because they’re my team. These games are the best we can hope for if we care about the future of college football. Plus I want at least a dozen tight zoom shots of the chaps babes’ asses per quarter. Hook them!
  9. I have never approved of the British custom of using plural verbs with singular nouns. It has crept into frequent use in broadcasting American sports, as in "The Crimson Tide were looking forward to the Texas game until it was announced as an 11:00 CDT kickoff." No sir, I don't like it. Not a bit. As in . . . "The ohdience wuh loffing."
  10. I sense that Lalo will ultimately have a Snidely Whiplash moment with Kim, who will be saved from a fate worse than death by Mike, Jimmy or a combination thereof.
  11. FIFY - Also, for this to be anything but a night game is insane bullshit. Still, it’s Bama and Texas. Cool and not always expected things happen when we meet thee. Bring it on.
  12. Lane’s latest Fred Thompson “This thing will get out of control” Red October moment.
  13. I can't watch this show in any way other than DVR then savor/watch the next night, ffwding through the annoying ads, which mess with my Saul zen. The blazing speed at which the end of the episode arrives is such a time warp it always leaves me loopy. Each scene, especially those with Lalo, Gus or Mike is so intense while you are watching, time moves like molasses but the episodes as a whole fly by. I'm also glad Lalo didn't pfft! pfft! the sad German frau or her badass "Kleine Bar." Tell me what's better anywhere on TV and I'll watch it. Bravo creators, directors, actors and sight and sound wizards.
  14. Glad Dave is uninjured, at least physically so, but shit now he’ll probably disappear on us for years again. Who could blame him? Tranny asshole.
  15. It’s only the biggest fuckin’ river in the state. Yeww doe know nuthin’. Then l’il painties, too! I asked it if Caesar. I demahnd it of you. Kneeeel. On yoah kneees!
  16. James Millhollin Played the officious Major Royal B. Demming, U.S. Army shrink in No Time for Sergeants “Your father . . . Living?”
  17. Jack Elam Slim Pickens
  18. The world of Luc Beeson. Oldman’s Ross-Perot-Cooked-Arms-Dealer in the Fifth Element dominated the screen. Several vivid character actors in that film - Chris Tucker, Ian Holm, the six armed blue opera singer, “President”Tiny Lister.
  19. This series nails 1979 as well as Once Upon A Time In Hollywood nailed 1969. Bravo! And John C. Reilly for actor of the decade. Check It Out!
  20. No one dies but this one grabs me by the nuts and upper left ventricle every fucking time, especially when the bar girl sings out through her tears and then all join in, "AUX ARMS, CITOYENS! ARMEZ VOS BATTAILLONS! MARCH ON, MARCH ON, QU'UN SANG IMPUR, ABBREUVE NOS SILLONS!" "[The enemy's] impure blood will flow in the furrows!" Somewhere in Mariupol, they may still be playing the Ukrainian anthem if anyone is left there alive. Any a yinz don't like my poor spelling, kiss my ass.
  21. True that; and I failed to mention the protagonist, Josh Brolin’s doomed heroic turn. You want him to prevail and survive but Chigurr is the survivor. Time to revisit him, I believe. You call it.
  22. Caught "No Country for Old Men" again recently. I cannot stop watching it if I ever start. The tension in the scenes with Senor Bardem and his victims and would-be victims ("Call it.") are mesmerizing. Tommy Lee is a perfect world-weary county sheriff. The Coens are movie magic, from "Blood Simple" to whatever they did last. And those pure-dee 24k Texas accents, from store clerk man to trailer park office lady to motel office lady to chicken truck man to Carla Jean (born and raised in Glasgow but talked as if born and raised in Fort Stockton) and her mother ("I got the cancer"). IMHO best suspense and grit film in last 25 years. And no cell phones confusing the issue left and right.
  23. Why do ad execs think anyone wants to see an actor stuff a glob of food as big as a cabbage into their wide open mouth? I’m talking to you, Taco Bell, Carl’s Jr., Hardee’s, Arby’s, McD, BK, DiGiorno’sfolditsidewaysupmyass.
  24. Orgasmic schadenfreude rat cheer! This be Grade A Alldumb U war plainsman eagle tiggers bullshit. Shirley Q Liquor and Betty Butterfield must post a duet. Thujone must boot up the old MS Paint. And just what is corch Harbinger’s “character,” anyway? He really should not have smirked when he was a play away from beating us on his first try. Probably thinking about the Crochet Canal. “And so on the Plains it came to pass that nothing could be heard but the mirthless laughter of the damned.” Xenu, chapter 4 verse 99
  25. Richards in a helmet playing with army men and toy tanks and a sandbox was my favorite part of the show. Bruce Mahler made a headless plucked (real, not rubber) chicken “dance” on the end of his arm. Julia L-D and her memorable body were in the cast; I’ve always liked her snazzy vivacity. It had a certain humility that SNL didn’t, IMHO, at least at that time. Plus, it was on Friday.
