  2. WOW...one of "The Song Remains the Same" greatest mysteries solved? This is unreal! My most memorable audience member from that film!
  3. ....good Lord I can't wait to retire outside of this cesspool of a country!
  4. Holy crap...I'm speechless! Not to doubt you, Ana, but is there any way you can prove this?
  5. What a frickin' tool..... Roger Waters Calls Biden a “War Criminal,” Defends Russia and China in CNN Interview Alex Young Sun, August 7, 2022 at 8:49 AM The post Roger Waters Calls Biden a “War Criminal,” Defends Russia and China in CNN Interview appeared first on Consequence. Amidst his ongoing “This Is Not a Drill Tour,” Roger Waters sat down with CNN’s Michael Smerconish to discuss the overly political themes and messages presented at his concert. Smerconish began the interview by asking Waters why he labeled President Joe Biden a “war criminal.” “Well, he’s fueling the war in the Ukraine,” the former Pink Floyd member responded. “That is a huge crime. Why won’t the United States of America encourage [Volodymyr] Zelensky to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war?” When Smerconish pointed out that Waters was “blaming the party who got invaded,” Waters countered by criticizing NATO for forcing Russia’s hand. “Well, any war, when did it start? What you need to do is look at the history, and you can say, ‘Well, it started on this day.’ You could say it started in 2008… This war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border, which they promised they wouldn’t do when [Mikhail] Gorbachev negotiated the withdrawal of the USSR from the whole of Eastern Europe.” Waters also dismissed Smerconish’s argument that the US has a role of “liberators.” “You got into World War 2 because of Pearl Harbor. You were completely isolationists [beforehand],” Waters argued. “Thank god the Russians had already won the bloody war by then. 23 million Russians died, protecting you and me from the Nazi menace.” “I would suggest that you… go away and read a bit more, and try to figure out what the US would do if the Chinese were putting nuclear armed missiles into Mexico and Canada,” Waters added. When Smerconish noted that the Chinese are “too busy encircling Taiwan as we speak,” Waters fired back by proclaiming: “Taiwan is part of China. That has been absolutely accepted by the whole of international community since 1948.
  6. Watched "Where the Crawdads Sing" this weekend. One of my Top 10 favorite books of all time - so well written and packed with emotion. How a movie with such great source material can fall flat and deliver NONE of the emotion from the book is unfathomable to me.
  7. "Evil" - took me six episodes to get into it, but now I'm hooked.
  8. OUCH...that's gonna leave a mark. Very good point!
  9. Fauci has a stark warning for you: Get those COVID vaccines and boosters now, or you’re ‘going to get into trouble’ Chloe Taylor Thu, August 4, 2022 at 6:08 AM Anyone who hasn’t had all their COVID vaccination shots could be in for a difficult time as the colder seasons approach and the virus continues to spread, America’s top doctor has warned. “There are enough people who don’t fall into [high-risk] categories, that if they don’t get vaccinated, if they don’t get boosted, they’re going to get into trouble,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House’s chief medical adviser, told L.A. radio station KNX’s In Depth show on Tuesday.
  10. No worries...unless you are in a VERY specific demographic and participate in irresponsible behavior. Otherwise you are 99.9999% safe from catching it.
  11. So sad...I heard that on the news this morning before work. I was like "What the hell? This is two days old."

  13. ‘Goodfellas,’ ‘Law & Order’ actor Paul Sorvino dies at 83 LINDSEY BAHR Mon, July 25, 2022 at 12:20 PM·5 min read Paul Sorvino, an imposing actor who specialized in playing crooks and cops like Paulie Cicero in “Goodfellas” and the NYPD sergeant Phil Cerreta on “Law & Order,” has died. He was 83. His publicist Roger Neal said he died Monday morning of natural causes at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Sorvino had dealt with health issues over the past few years. Mira Sorvino, his daughter, wrote a tribute on Twitter: “My father the great Paul Sorvino has passed. My heart is rent asunder- a life of love and joy and wisdom with him is over. He was the most wonderful father. I love him so much. I’m sending you love in the stars, Dad, as you ascend.” “Our hearts are broken, there will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage,” his wife, Dee Dee Sorvino, said in a statement. She was by his side when he died. In his over 50 years in the entertainment business, Sorvino was a mainstay in films and television, playing an Italian American communist in Warren Beatty’s “Reds,” Henry Kissinger in Oliver Stone’s “Nixon” and mob boss Eddie Valentine in “The Rocketeer.” He would often say that while he might be best known for playing gangsters, his real passions were poetry, painting and opera.
  14. Started binging "The Boys" this weekend. Other than the "Avengers" movies, I can't stand the plethora of comic book movies out there. "The Boys" is different. I'm only 5 episodes in and it just keeps getting better!
  15. I was working overseas for 4 years and when I came back to the States, I also noticed a LOT more drug commercials (and class action suits commercials too). I wish I could recall the name of the medication they were trying to sell, but one commercial listed the side effects of the drug they were hawking and I swear the list was so long, I thought the side effects were worse than having the disease itself!
  16. Statue near the Promenade in Durres, Albania:
  17. Great story and such a nice gesture by Robert, but couldn't they have found a better spot to take a photo?😬
  18. September will be the start of Octoberfest - so although not effective, THAT is the reason they are implementing it at that time.
  19. Ya know, every time I whine about something, I hear or read from someone else who has it WAY worse than me! I need to start being grateful that it's ONLY 30 today! Thanks for putting things in perspective chillumpuffer!
  20. Just finished the last season of "Peaky Blinders" Loved the first three episodes, hated the next two and as for the finale.....didn't like it at first, but after thinking about it, it made sense and gave closure to the series. As much as I enjoyed the series, I hate that they leave these shows open ended so they can do a sequel movie later.....
