The book had some levity and funny moments. Especially between the Brolin and Elordi characters. I kind of pictured the Brolin character as Bruce Dern from The Burbs. That looks completely dark/dramatic. Who knows. Brolin is talented and the book was great.

And the natural world. You should spend time every day outside and at least an hour or two in the woods every week. That is why i am a huge fan of mountain or gravel bike riding. Humans have been evolving over six million years and it is just the very tiny recent history where we started sitting all day and staying indoors and becoming lazy. I don't know what BJJ is but think about hiking instead.

UCLA study.

Dylan would have been awesome once upon a time.
Too many really good movies facing off in round one. These should be squaring off in round two or three not one:

4. The Ring
13. Frailty

I had to go Ring but Frailty is so damn good.

5. Silence of the lambs
12. Rosemary's Baby

Has to be Silence but let Rosemary knock out Saw or Scream or something first.

I passed on seeing the Rolling Stones in 1989 and Bob Dylan in 1993 because they were both too old (I was young and stupid). Really regret that now but I have no desire to see the current incarnation of those artists. I learned my lesson w/ Jeff Lyne's ELO. My new strategy is go see younger bands in smaller venues.
So who downvoted one of the best movie franchises going? It will be great and everything a modern Hollywood epic movie is not. The first one is an A+.

That was going to be a hard pull. He's from California. He'll probably be on our team in 2028.


Which is the better way to do it. Let him get in the strength and conditioning program and get some practice and back up game reps on UCLA and then sign him.
They do this for college football games too. 3:00 kickoff my arse. At least the movie has the trailers and not just a bunch of crappy AFLAC commercials.

Like Nelly falling in love w/ the short dude Percival? Hilarious.
Man they must really love the Timothy Busfield scandal right about now. Now they have to pretend Melissa Gilbert doesn't exist. Yet another example of the brain rot in hollywood. At least Taylor Sheridan can write an original clichéd frontier drama instead of rehashing an old seventies series that was never that good to begin with.
Breakfast of Champions. Hilarious and thought provoking at the same time. I loved the final meeting of Hoover and Trout at the Holiday Inn bar. What an ending that makes you think.

Slaughter-House Five is second mainly because it really contains most of his themes and is semi-autobiographical. Probably the best for entry into KV's world.

Mother Night. Probably not high on a lot of lists but it is a great love story and talks about pretending to be something you are not and so it has a lot of timely resonance.

Player Piano and God Bless You Mr. Rosewater are just as important today as when they were written.

Those are my favorites.

I have always loved The Price Is Right whether it is with Bob Barker or Drew Carey. Comes from faking a cold as a kid and getting to watch it w/ my mom on the couch eating chicken soup home from school.

Go buy a plastic tool box from Lowe's and then go to a store like Sportsmen's Warehouse and buy the patches, cleaning rods, brush heads, etc. I find the already put together kits have a bunch of stuff i don't need since i only clean handguns.

Stallone in Rocky is the obvious pick here. I thought Schwaznegger was good in Conan too.


That one technically works since he was in The Lords of Flatbush before it but I think of Copland where Stallone proved he could really act.

What is the story behind Coming Home In a Body Bag? I don't remember that part. Great movie. Brad Pitt as Floyd was hilarious.
