The drooling doesn’t help either.

A couple of scenes with Kathleen Robertson and Hannah Ware might have caused some uneven sideburns.

Please send him into a war zone. I’d like to see him try the weave with live rounds flying.

RIP Tom Noonan, the tall, sepulchral actor who specialized in fanatics, killers and misunderstood employees. He is memorable in roles in Manhunter (as Francis Dolarhyde), Heat, Hell on Wheels and many others.

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now, honey, that's quite a different subject
But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really I’m sad, sad, sad

RIP Robert Duvall, a true character actor who became a leading man through force of talent. He was great in The Great Santini, Tender Mercies, Falling Down. He found his true calling in a series of western rolesβ€”Lonesome Dove, broken Trail and Open Range.

I have a feeling Dennehy would have played it with a smile tinged by insanity.

Liz Kreutz, NBC news reporter, gets the unprofessional dipshit award for the following interview:
Pima County sheriff: we are very close…
Kreutz: what one day, two days, three days?

Shameful

I imagine every other top level Trump appointee does the same stuff. They are under the radar because Noem is BrownShirt Barbie

β€œAll my children” is even more disturbing.

Harris founded his own subgenre of movies. White guys exploring dangerous enviroments in the 19 th century

RIP Sonny Jurgensen, together with Daryle Lamonica, the master of 60s and 70s long passing. His work on the Washington Redskins is an unending highlight reel to Charley Taylor and Bobby Mitchell.

Possibly Amy Adams, too, although she’d have to dye or wear a wig.

The Murder of The Washington Post Today’s layoffs are the latest attempt to kill what makes the paper special.

I arrived at The Post during a personal and professional nadir. But they welcomed me into their merry band of misfits, and believed in me β€” so I started believing in myself, too.

RIP Mickey Lolich, the portly Detroit Tigers left-handed pitcher, who won three games from the plainly superior St. Louis Cardinals in the 1968 World Series and single-handedly hauled the Tigers to a world championship.

I imagine Meryl will bookend the movie and the bulk of the story will be flashback with a younger actress. I think Cameron Crowe is the bigger danger sign.

Most law enforcement agencies have a uniform code of dress. These guys seem to emulate those paramilitary wannabes such as The Proud Boys.

Also most police are trained never to unholster a weapon unless they are under imminent threat

Three newer options: Let Him Go is a modern take on feuds; American Primeval, is a series rethinking pioneer myths; The Harder They Fall is Sergio Leone through African American eyes. Plus Homesman
