Also great in 3:10 to Yuma


This is the reason to watch. He's great here and he was great in Yuma.

I'm a big fan of Jeff Bridges too but he's a caricature by this point. This movie is just trying too hard to copy No Country of Old Men vibe. Down to the surly waitress (who was the hotel clerk in No Country),

This movie is to "No Country" what Boondock Saints was to basically any early Tarantino film.
I watched this with my wife to give her the hint on going bald.
Imagine taking 10% of every sales transaction in a city.

Governments are out of control.
You can look old, or you can look weird.

You're not going to look younger.

This is disappointing.

Biden is pretty well liked by the masses. He really doesn't do anything to be hated


Seems like most presidents get regarded more highly after they leave office.

Biden probably benefits from this. George W most certainly did.

The people who don't like trump now will never like trump.

Nixon never recovered.

But look at Jimmy Carter. The poster child for post-presidency redemption.
Who would have thought GoT could be so wholesome?

I liked having mixed feelings about the characters in GoT (eg: we hated jamie, then started to root for him, then didn't like him again). Almost everyone was an "anti hero" except for maybe the Starks.

So this was a nice change of pace. The Targaryens are playing the "shades of grey" roles. And I think they're good too.

I quit on the first episode 3 times before someone told me to push through. I'm glad they did.

Has there been a role he wasn’t good in?


He can be decent and not be "incredible."

Take "Lawless." He's overshadowed by everyone else in the movie.

No one wanted to see him in an indiana jones movie.

He is not a headliner. No one is going to see a Shai Labooboo movie because he's in it.

Not in the same way we'd go see Daniel Day Lewis or Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Those are "incredible" actors.

The amount of money our governments spend at every level is ridiculous. Our taxes should be 1/4 what it is, and they still borrow more.


I wonder what percentages of taxes just get lost to corruption?

I'm guessing that's higher in NYC than Tokyo.

I don’t own, nor want a Mazda, but their Soul Red Crystal paint color is beautiful.


It costs extra but it's the prettiest red to be found on a car.
Mazda 6 is the best car I've ever owned. Not a ton of miles (160k), 10 years old. Not one thing has gone wrong with it. Not even a bulb. I's a manual transmission.

I'll probably replace it with a CX-30 or Cx5 when the time comes....especially if they still have the six speed auto an naturally aspirated 2.5...they've been making that combo for a decade and it's stone reliable.

If you're looking at the brand new CX-5 they just redid it...I never like a first year revision, but if the powertrain didn't change you should be fine.

I've had a lot of cars and none have been completely defect free. This one has been. It was made in Japan...maybe that made a difference.

MIATA.

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than drive a fast car slow.

This is true on almost every public roadway.

Stuck in jail with no other options? Hawkins. Easy.

Might would as a free man too. Need more data.

Dealers make big money on these. Shop around--you don't have to buy it from the dealer. You have a standard warranty that will cover you if you absolutely feel the need to buy extended.

Buy a reliable car and don't worry about it.

I seem to notice pretty stock Chevy's with blinding white lights.
