Mobile kitchen near the front. German bombers hit them and the gas tank for the oven blew. Luckily, he was outside, so the burns on his arms were from fighting the fire, not the explosion.
And then he went home and kept being a baker.
One grandfather ran a lunch counter/convenience store, the other was a baker who received a Purple Heart in WWII. For baking. His oven got bombed.
It fits me. Being helpful, seems safe, get injured anyway.
I liked working my way through the list as a teen, then making fun of every masterpiece not on the list as “officially worse than Yankee Doodle Dandy, according to the AFI.”
Yep, still open
Long repeating sections are like their own category. Like the end of Suspicious Minds: if you don’t switch to singing with the Sweet Inspirations, or the trumpets, I don’t understand you.
I have the Criterion. It looks fierce.
Yeah, there were so many shitty Night of the Living Dead versions on VHS or DVD because anyone could put it out and they had no reason to get a good print.
We watched “Bugonia” the other night and my husband thought it was weird Emma Stone was singing along with the backup parts of a song.
I said I do that sometimes; some songs demand it, ie. “Midnight Train to Georgia.” (🎶 Woo woo! 🎶)
Do you sing along with backup singers, and if so when?
It’s a sin some of these fell into public domain (Notorious AND Charade?! Are studios THAT afraid of sexy thrillers with awesome female leads!?)
But their loss is your gain.
Olé!

A google search result showing Rush Limbaugh’s grave as a public restroom.
Thank you for leading me to this google result.
You can be a responsible citizen and not watch the State of the Union. Look up a transcript afterward.
That way you don’t have the hear his voice, look at the gibbering applause-monkeys, or watch the corpse of Rush Limbaugh win a fucking prize.
Sure! There's A LOT to choose from. Hell, just the Best Picture nominees are a meal and a half: All the President's Men, Bound for Glory, Network, Rocky, Taxi Driver. The feel-good movies are about the Depression and getting your ass beat by Apollo Creed. Bicentennial fun!
25 percent! Just more than Tupac and Dre!
Without a podcast to vent them, I'm starting to have too much trivia backing up my brain.
Anyway, Joe Cocker received 40% of the songwriting royalties for Tupac's "California Love."

Scuba diving makes for bad cinema. It was cool and new and all then, but dang it’s slow going.
“The Last Action Hero” had a scene where Tom Noonan as himself complains he only gets to play creeps, while earlier in the film he looked like this. That’s called having your cake and eating it too. RIP.
Too many great performances to list, so I’m gonna watch Lonesome Dove, which I somehow have never seen, despite my love of westerns and grizzled character actors. It’s on prime, Tubi, a bunch of other places.
I’d fight for someone who shared my values long before I’d fight for someone only for sharing my ethnicity. One we control, one we can’t.
White nationalism is literally skin deep.
Neither my heritage nor inheritance involves $400 million Qatari planes.
“You’re not very smart, are you? I like that in a man.”
And he sticks around, which shows exactly how dumb he is. And because she’s Kathleen Goddamn Turner.
The momentary calm before a Monty Python sketch breaks out.
Then my most recent dentist went “Huh!” and I waited for the next part. Instead she says, “someone gave you the wrong antibiotic as a kid.”
And I was like
I’m missing four permanent teeth - had em pulled during orthodontia so everyone else could fit. Every dentist sees my mouth and goes “Huh! You’re missing some incisors.”
