OT: Elon and Twitter I am old and never been on Twitter
I once set up an IG because a dancer deleted her Facebook and started using IG. But I don’t see her anymore
I don’t follow the story, only on the fringes, but what I think is ironic is that several years ago all the woke Hollywood progressives drove Tesla’s (Ed Begley Jr for ex) but now that same work crowd is hating on Musk

gammanu95My casual drinking is your alcohol poisoning.
OT: Yellowstone: The Duttons are villains. Change my mindI don’t disagree with you the Duttons are the villains.
The show teases some nudity but could certainly use more. The barrel racers are kind of cute. And we got a glimpse of Beth’s fine ass in season 1, but not much since
It was a big deal 10+ years ago when Mad Men and Breaking Bed occasionally said “fuck”. Now, it’s almost too common

OT: Yellowstone: The Duttons are villains. Change my mindWhen season 3 started i went back and watched from the beginning. I’m hooked now. It’s one of only 2 or 3 new shows I watch
I spent a summer in the vicinity of where it takes place - except the first 3 seasons were mostly filmed in Utah not Montana
The inauguration party seemed pretty authentic depicting how guys in that part of country dress. Except for newcomers, they’re true cowboys. You go to church on Sunday and guys wear jeans and a tie and everyone wears a cowboy hat. At least when I was there in the 80’s they still herded and drove cattle like the Old West. Doesn’t matter if you’re driving on a road. You stop - the cows have the right of way

Russia has crossed a line, fired missiles into Poland a NATO ally.Perhaps our response should be proportional to Poland’s “help” in the Desert Storm coalition.
The US provided 697,000 troops. Poland assisted with 319 medical personnel

State SwingsNice try in trying to spin it your way
Insurance claims for the BLM riots totaled between 1-2 BILLION dollars. And that’s not counting all the uninsured small businesses. Adjusted for inflation that’s more damage than cause by the Rodney King LA riots
January 6 damage was less the $2 million

Thank you for your serviceI say it to honor my father who enlisted at the age of 17 in WW II.
But more importantly, when he talked about his experiences I truly listened to him and engaged him with questions. I do not say it as a false platitude or to be politically correct

QUENTIN TARANTINO FILMS - since we are talking about film...He’s a great interview and i love hearing him talk about his childhood influences, especially the TV shows and movies. We have similar tastes. However, it doesn’t translate into films I like. I don’t really care for his movies. And not a fan of the non-linear plot device he’s used a few times
He loves movies and enjoys talking about them. Compare that to Robert DeNiro who’s a sanctimonious prick

Drunken rant - Customer service failure. Service is bad, but not universal. It’s all about managers who care and have the ability to hire the right people.
I go thru a McDonalds drive thru every morning for an Iced Tea, there is always a long line but it moves right along. The employees are working women 25+ and this is their full time job. They are courteous, friendly and professional. (Well as much as a fast food worker can be). They are dedicated to providing a good experience and it shows.
Contrast this to the BK right next door. I rarely go there but when I do I realize I made a mistake. There is never a line yet it takes forever and the food is still cold. Not sure how that happens. The employees aren’t rude - but they don’t say a word either. The managers are bad and they hire bad employees

RIP Gallagher, A True "Smash" HitIn the early to mid 80’s he was huge
HBO specials and popular at the video stores with VHS tapes
Sort of last track of him the past 20 years.

Vegas ObservationsSome interesting observations.
I haven’t been to Vegas either since the pandemic. Regarding not seeing “fancy” people. I’ll never forget my first time to Vegas. It was a Friday night and between midnight and 1 am the parking garages were a full of activity and people came rolling in in droves. The women were all dressed like fashion models. It dawned on me they probably just arrived from making the 5-6 hour drive from LA

Veterans DayHappy Veteran’s Day. Thank you to everyone who has served. You have my gratitude.
I come from a long line of military veterans who served during wartime
Grandfather - US Army - France WW I
Father - US Navy - Pacific WW II
Uncle - US Army - Korea
Uncle - USMC - Korea
Uncle - US Army - Viet Nam
Me - I am in that small window between 1975 - 1980 when registering for Selective Service was not required
Looking back, I wish had joined the military and made it a career. I think it would have been a good fit

“Classic & “Semi-Classic” Movies I’ve Never Watched Kind of glad to someone else that’s never seen “The Godfather”
I’m not really into the Mafia stuff. I only watched “The Sopranos” this year. I liked it better than I expected but it’s FAR from my favorite TV show of all time. Perhaps just outside of the top 5
And as I mentioned in the Scorsese thread, “Goodfellas” is ok, but it’s not really a favorite of mine, and is bit overrated in my book

Drunken rant - Customer service failure. Poor Customer service, rude behavior, incivility, poor driving -
It’s probably been slowly in the rise for years, but in the 3 years they’ve all just exploded. The pandemic gets blamed for a lot of things - who knows the reason - but just dealing with everyday life (for me) really sucks right now
Human behavior is at its worst right now

State SwingsIn my new state of Ohio the big race was Republican JD Vance vs Democrat Tim Ryan
The national media built up the race calling Ohio a swing state and made it seem closer than it really was
Republican Vance won rather handily 53.3% to 46.7%

Does Brittney Griner know the difference between Penal and PenileIt’s gettin’ real now. Maybe it’s time to send her home. Let’s hope she’s learned her lesson and a message has been sent loud and clear to the USA hatin’, police hatin’, left wing Libs that big bad “racist” ole Murica may not be so awful after all

Is Follies in Atlanta re-opening ??“what the hell is going on with the Atlanta clubs?”
I’ve never been to an Atlanta club despite driving (and flying) thru Atlanta more times than I care to count.
But I too think about that question. Back in the mid to late 90’s wasn’t Atlanta a strip club mecca? I remember those stores of NBA players have sex in the Champagne rooms long before it became more accessible

Steven Spielberg Movies25 is spot on.
With apologies to Scorsese, Spielberg is the best alive today. His variety of work is part of makes him great
To think the same guy made Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, Catch Me of You Can, The Terminal

I remember watching that as a teenager in the ABC Movie of the Week. Of course it was many years later before I knew it was Spielberg. It was a simple thriller for a kid - perfect
