They had Do the Right Thing, now Reality Bites, Later Slacker, River's Edge Reckless and Oxford Blues.

They're calling it "Boomer's Suck" Night.

I did a Warner Brothers studio tour with a friend who was an SMU grad. An SMU film school professor set the tour up for us. It was my buddy and I and seven French directors, camera men and other film professionals. We got to watch them adding road noises and birds chirping to the wrecker truck chase scene. We also got to go into the Foley Room and saw and heard what noises were made from each little compartment.

When we got to the street front exterior that they use for movies shot on the lot, they were painted with bright trim in red, yellow, green and blue. They told us the buildings were painted for the Dick Tracy movie they had just finished shooting. They said the same street front had used with different facades in movies and TV shows since the 40's.

They showed us another outside area where they had shot scenes for Christmas Vacation. This was just mockups to shoot from outside into different rooms of Clark's house window. One of the windows had a Dominos sticker on it. When I saw the movie in the theater, I never saw a damn Dominos sticker. It really pissed me off.
Justified is a great show. The relationship between Raylan and Boyd is probably the best, and one of the most adversarial friendships, in all of fiction. If you're someone who spent too much time on the sketchy side of town you might have similar ones. Season five of Justified was like an episode of Breaking Bad that featured a lot of Walt Jr. It sucked.

Even though Breaking Bad jumped the shark when they siphoned a tanker car on a moving train, and killed a kid for watching, they never had one bad season like that one.



I remember him in 'The Virdict'. He was Kevin Doneghy, the brother-in-law of the lady who had been made a vegetable by the tired doctor. He lashed out at Paul Newman's Frank Galvin character for not taking the settlement that the Archdiocese of Boston offered.

Kevin Doneghy: You guys... you guys are all the same! The doctors at the hospital, you... it's always what I'm going to do for you. And then you screw up, and it's, "Ah, we did the best that we could, I'm dreadfully sorry." And people like us live with your mistakes the rest of our lives.



I think L.A.'s picture is of him when he was mad at Galvin.I couldn't find that pic except for an encripted version.
Damn, I'd forgotten Norv Turner lasted six years as the Chargers Coach.

If you're an LSU fan you picked the right team to pull for!

I knew LSU WR Terrence Toliver and OL Peter Dyakowski (LSU graduate who was crowned "The Smartest Man in Canada") played there in the 2010's because I watched them on ESPN2 & CBS Sports Network, and followed them on X.

Looked it up & these LSU guys played there too.

You drank coffee as a kid?


Been a coffee drinker since I was about 6 years old.
My mom let us have it with milk in elementary school. Someone gave my dad four mugs with "For my coffee break" written on them. After you finished your coffee this message was stamped on the bottom of the inside of the cup: "BACK TO WORK" We got them. We always said "Back to work" when we finished them. They had us trained like little seals at an early age.

Mowed yards down the street for money in 5th and 6th grades too.

wonder if guys back in the 40's were as perplexed as myself at how a short, unattractive, gruff looking dude was pulling in so much tail.
It was different back then because a man being pretty wasn't important to women when men were their sole providers. Neither sex was as shallow as people have become. Being someone they got along with and thought they could love was more important. Nobody was posting their life on the internet with filters or getting plastic surgery.

I moved to Dallas for $24K salary, plus commissions, in 1983.Pretty sure I paid taxes on $37K that 1st year. I worked another job on the side doing remodeling of offices some nights and weekends.

Are they playing the baseline only, or the baseline into the guitar rif?

I remember when the Mavs played just the music from the remastered version of "Lay Low" coming out of timeouts.

Dunt, dunt, dunt
dunt, dunt, dunt

That hook still gets me every time, but I want to hear it after Dre tells the haters to suck his d*ck.

They couldn't go any further because of the lyrics.

"For the n*gga who be talkin' loud and holding his d*ck,
He better lay low."

I always wondered if the person that OK'ed it for the 41st time that season even knew it was about killing someone..
Maybe Jacobs can get the female's daddy to give him some good Courtney Upshaw style PR.
Watched Carson nearly every night from10th grade, thru seven years of college. I started watching Letterman in 1982, graduated college in 1983 and watched whenever I could for three or four more years. By the 90's I'd quit watching those shows I like Conan and watched him a good bit and liked Craig Ferguson a lot. Wish he'd been on longer.
Since the 2021-2022 season began, they been showing them at least once a week on national tv.. That was after losing in the 1st round in 2020-2021 season and missing the playoffs in 2021-2022. They just kept showing them once a week even though they missed the playoffs. After winning the East this year, they'll be on every week for another five or six years.

It felt like we had to watch the NY Rangers almost that much and they didn't even have a winning season.

How did you become a Canadiens fan?
When the Stars nosedived in the second half of the season, I was looking for a team to pull for. When they beat Tampa and Dallas lost in the 1st round I decided to pull for them. They have that great history of winning 15 out of 24 Stanley Cup Championships from 1955-1979. They won five straight from 1955-1960, four out of five from 1964-1969. Then four straight from1975-1979.. They won eight before then from 1917-1953 too, but they were the best team ever from 1955-1979.

Since then, they've had three in 47 years. They are the only Canadian team I've ever felt sorry for.
