  1. If the Coens are involved, I'm in. From Blood Simple to Buster Scruggs, there is just something special about their work product and casting choices. And besides, we're dyin' out here at tha leek.
  2. Socrates said, "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance." Davy Crockett - "Be sure you're right, then go ahead." "This ain't rocket surgery." - W It's time to get Socratic up in this mug. Mitigate seriously for the next 12 months; see how we're doing; adjust plan accordingly. This daily revamping of everything is an utter waste. The Three Stooges is better TV than WH briefings (except the Shemp ones).
  3. Finer music was never produced. >CLINK<
  4. Morning Joe opened with a montage of alternating video clips showing Dr. Nick from The Simpsons followed by Dr. Donald Trump at the podium yesterday. Dr. Nick actually made more sense. Gotta go now, I'm headed out to get some body light treatment and Lysol infusion. I prefer the white linen serum meself.
  5. As to the part struck out above, I solemnly swear that I spent two minutes scrolling down to see if there was already a thread, didn't see one, couldn't believe there wasn't one, threw caution to the winds rather than deprive a soul of the pure, uncut pleasure of the video, posted it anyway. Wish I could see all the participants in person! Surly on all ye music lovers. Cue Sly and the Family Stone . . .
  6. "This situation will get out of control and we'll be lucky if we live through it." Ouch, and that's hitting close to home in the COVID spring of 2020.
  7. Kayleigh Mack Inaney, Trump U rush chairman. Damn glad to meetcha. (Dodges beer bottle.). What a shitty plot for a media series. Carney barker turns nation into mindless rabble who don't have sense enough to come in out of the acid rain.
  8. 1. I concede! Lalo is too charismatic to die until next season. 2. Okay, telecom wonders, tell me how Gus pulled off the "mere technical matter" of creating a temporary mobile phone signal for the call to Nacho.
  9. Lalo smirks too much to be allowed to live. He dies tonight, but at whose hand(s)? a. Mike b. Nacho c. Gus d. Kim d. Saul
  10. Laszlo to bandleader: "Play La Marseillaise. Play it!" Bandleader: (Looks at Rick.) Rick: (Nods.) Thence commences IMO the most moving sequence in film. If you don't feel it in your heart, you ain't human, Joe. It's the high water mark of American cinema. I'm talking about that instant when the cast sings "Aux arms, citoyens! Armez vos battalions!"
  11. You are so right. Blake Edwards at his best, nearly every scene a gem. The pastor, the dentist, the shrink, the hedonist across the valley from Dudley, the great Julie Andrews fer chrissake . . . , Robert "Ole Stick" Webber, Sam (Flash Gordon) Jones, Dee (the Howling) Wallace, Mrs. Kissell breaking wind and the poor great dane. All witnesses to what happens when a middle-aged man is suddenly enslaved by an obsession. But what a sublime obsession. Beauty is truth and truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth and all ye need to know.
  12. If I had me last double Dalwhinnie, I'd pour it all oot on the groond fer ya, big mon, and slowly. Those of you of a certain age remember when you saw 10 the first time. You're lying if you say you didn't identify with Dudley Moore's character. And who was his perfect consigliere actoss the bar? Mr. Dennehy fitting into that role like a virus glove. After Bo and Dudley, Brian's understated role made that movie for me. And then decades later he got to squeeze on that fine body in Tommy Boy. Sorry to know you've rung down the curtain but thank you for making my life better for the stories you put before my eyes and ears. Cue the Ravel, maestro.
  13. For me BCS is a great sensual, audible, visual pleasure, similar to a fine meal or fine scotch or fine sex (I know, Woody, every orgasm is pretty much right on the money; but the sex quality varies). Yet the feel of each episode is unique because you never know what the shit is about to happen, such as a petite woman getting in the face of a stone killer cartel capo and showing him the door. Now godammit, only one episode remains.
  14. Eloi, meet Morlocks. Imagine no religion, indeed. Jesus H. - wait.
  15. Remember early in the episode when Saul appeared to be doomed beyond all hope, as El Thug Jefe signaled throat slash to the thug near Saul, and the screen was artfully filled with the business end of a large caliber handgun? How was it Mike came to be in good position to save Saul from certain death? Wasn't the money pickup point over twenty miles from the highway? I'll buy that Mike evaluated the route and positioned himself accordingly, but a shrewd dude like Saul might at least have made the observation and given Mike credit later on when things semi-settled down. I realize Saul was in shock for a good while there. "Hindsight is 50/50." --Pat Dye
  16. As Saul was driving back singing to himself after picking up the money bags, before the hostile crew ever showed, I was thinking the Esteem was going to break down, leaving him in pretty much the same predicament (minus the killers and all). Would have been less exciting TV but an intriguing challenge all the same.
  17. I nominate Dr. J for the President's Idiocracy Crisis Medical Advisory League of America, appearing on a screen near you at some point daily.
  18. And Benny Hill's running the show. More from AL.com: "Christi Thornton, the city/county emergency management director, said the shipment of 5,880 procedure masks received last week were unusable because of dry rot. The masks had a 2010 expiration date, according to the city’s response to a survey by the U.S. Conference of Mayors." Where were they stored, under John Wayne Gacy's house?
  19. P.S. - that was 5,000 of a total of 5,800 Ain't this a bitch
  20. Good news! Your PPE just arrived from the national stockpile! From AL.com - "More than 5,000 medical masks that Montgomery County received from the national stockpile were rotted, the local emergency management director said Thursday."
  21. Okay. You go first. Those fuckers give me the willies. They can spit that juice a long way. <<<<shhhhivvver>>>>
  22. 1. Big, fast, flying cockroaches. 2. These sonsabitches: https://www.google.com/search?q=lubber grasshopper poisonous url insert she no work but worth a look - Eastern Lubber Grasshopper Winged, wicked, vile, poisonous tobacco juice spitting alien spawn demons
  23. The only thing I like about Trump was the way he went through the field of Republican candidates four years back. Now, Trump is the Jaws mayor saying "Come on out to the beach, everybody!" and raising hell with Chief Brody because someone (the sane media) drew a big shark fin on the tourist billboard. This is NOT the right Easter to pack churches. I hope the White House doesn't host an Easter egg hunt. Time for common sense. Learn from South Korea.
  24. I am a seriously biased Fab4phile, grew up with the Beatles, rushed to buy every LP, saw them live in ATL two nights after Shea in '65, have 1965 Ludwigs, on and on. I reveled in Yesterday, but hell I reveled in Across the Universe. Saw Yesterday in a theater with a powerful sound system, which helped. I not aware of the Lennon cameo shock coming at the end. When the door to his beach cottage swung open, the audience gasped as one. The others and I were zoomed backward to December 8, 1980, just another day in the world of Yesterday. He was never murdered. Cosell never told the world about it on MNF. Don't mind telling you, the tears ran in that theater, and some of them were mine. If you lived the sixties and are now in yours, this film is worth your time. These guys did change the world and for the better. Bravo to the creators and players of this clever film.
