Resin Up My Bow - a euphemism (also a limerick)

I looked at some of his other paintings. He does have other color paints and uses them. But the man clearly likes brown.

210 If you're looking for a fun, totally nonpolitical, good time at the movies. check out -

"Bullet Train".

Very fun movie in the Tarantino/Coen Bros violent comedy mode with a smidge of 1940s Looney Tunes thrown into the mix.

Loads of action, some nice twists and good jokes. Broadly acted but well acted and good crisp direction.

Don't expect it to change your life, "Bullet Train" just wants to entertain you and it does. No silly woke crap or sucker punches. A good time at the movies.
Loads of good actors even in tiny roles. Well done all the way around.

A bit. He's an uncle by marriage, though. My dad had a few dozen VHS tapes while I was growing up, and we would pick our entertainment from that pile (I remember it being in the pantry by the front door for a while). No flipping through the channels on Friday nights. The kids pick five movies, and Dad picks from one of the five.

Classic movie trivia - I've been watching some more obscure Peter Lorre movies from the early days, many are surprisingly good, such as "I was an Adventuress" (1940) which also has EvS in it. That same Isotta Fraschini shows up in a couple of the scenes, which I found fascinating because it is an incredibly rare (and stunning) automobile. Someone connected to the studio must have owned it personally.

Not according to Sam Staggs, author of the wonderful book Close-Up on Sunset Boulevard. He writes:

"The Depression wiped out the Isotta-Fraschini as thoroughly as talking pictures wiped out Norma Desmond. By 1933, with virtually no sales, the company was sold to an aircraft manufacturer. Isotta attemped a comeback after WW2, but the road such extravagant cars had once traveled no longer existed. Even Paramount couldn't afford one; the Isotta-Fraschini in Sunset Boulevard came from a rental firm/"

If the previews were anything to go by,

Hollywood is still dedicated to inciting racial animosity and I suppose, a race war.

Pretty much every single major movie preview featured white men being mean to or killing Black people. And/or Black people killing oppressor white people.

Lovely. Welp, if they get the society that they're angling for, I hope they get to experience it up close and personal.

Hopefully, most people of whatever race are too smart to fall for this propaganda, but hey! Who knows?

I love the movie. The set up and the way they almost describe Money as two different characters: the one he is after years with his family and wife and the one he used to be. The movie is about stripping away the man he became and unveiling who he was.

That's why I have trouble watching it. The man spent a lot of time trying to be a better person and in the end, who he was came out because of circumstance. It is like a reverse redemption arc. That makes it hard to rewatch.

We donated most, but I took a bunch home, as I inherited his movie love. I would stick a hand in the entertainment center, pull out a tape and watch whatever was on it. It would be something like "Pigskin Parade", 'the Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and "Room Service".

It slowed slightly but is still near historic highs. That means that the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed after July and hasn't even been signed yet, is doing its job and we need to pass more of such legislation.

395 I've been watching The King's Speech. You have to watch it several times to appreciate the transformation of the relationship between the King and Logue, the speech therapist.

At first the Duke of York asserts his royalty over Logue. Logue insists in calling him Bertie and says, "My castle, my rules."

In the end, Logue intrudes by sitting in the Throne of St. Edward, which is forbidden. He agitates by scorning royalty.

In the end, Bertie calls him "my friend" and Logue calls Bertie "Your majesty" which he had never done before in the entire movie.

So nuanced and powerful.

461 436 I remember a little ditty song to the tune of the BOTRK theme song we used to sing in high school.

Morris, you'll have to marry me,

Then there'll be Morris and Doris and me

No love for us?
