The commercials that I saw, well, felt like they were trying too hard and for blah results.

If anyone wants to know more about Puerto Rico and the other US territories/colonies, I will also recommend this book!

(If I may...)

I did not know these existed.
(Makes note.)

They did.

Portrait | John Sayles | Season 2 His work is considered the model for independent, socially responsible film making...

This was the interview. 1991. Yikes!

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

I like the scene where the lady who's lived there a long time gives the wives of the new Italian miners something to help make their meals tastier. The one Italian lady asks the other one what it is and gets the answer, "garlic."

I once had the big idea that movie theaters would be empty on Superbowl Sunday and I'd have the joints all to myself.
Wrong.
Every film buff in the Twin Cities was at the movies. The only showing where I had my pick of seats was the 10:30 am one.

Lone Star is one of my favorite films. I'll have to check out his writing.

Has Green Day been on yet?

I got to see Mr. Sayles in person in the 90s. I was working and watching an in-house feed of him being interviewed in our studio. When I saw the taping was over, I rushed to the lobby and pretended to be on the lobby phone so that I could see him when he and the interviewer emerged into the wild.

A few panels down in my timeline.

Seems like good meditation.

Kowalskis appears to have several kinds (varies by store.)
Maybe they have a mix.

This is a scene from a Marx Brothers movie.

But I don't remember that scene.

That's a fun movie.

This makes me love them even more.

Flooftastic!

Oh my, it really is, isn't it!

I'd say pretty good.

Yawning now.

A bit.

As did I.

I always thought that 10CC sang "Quiet, requesting quiet" instead of "Big boys don't cry. Big boys don't cry" in their song I'm Not In Love. My husband finds this hilarious. It's what we now say to get each other's attention if we're in different parts of the house.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10
