Playing with the auction would make the game a lot quicker, surely.

The most valuable properties are the oranges and reds that wrap around Free Parking. Illinois Avenue has its own card of course, and lots of people wind up going to Jail, which means there's a high chance of landing on the oranges or reds after you get out.

BTW, instead of making this, they need to cast John Cho in a film version of "The Orphan Master's Son", which is tremendous.

Four asses?

Where the hell would you get any?

That was an interesting movie. I remember watching it once on some channel, I dunno maybe IFC, and thinking "man, that movie was pretty cool." Then as I often do I go online to read about a movie I just watched, and HOLY SHIT THAT WAS A FUCKING TRUE STORY. Crazy. Great movie.

Tell them we'll make peace if they agree to spell "Center" our way.

Violet had her shot! She blew George off.

Gloria Grahame. So good-looking. So very, very good-looking.

Indeed. One of the things that make this film interesting is that Bannion, the putative hero, seems to be something of a psychopath himself. Notice the scene where a witness says that the bad guy won't get her because she has an "in the event of my death" letter that incriminates him—so Glenn Ford decides to murder…

"Excuse me stewardess, I speak jive."

This was a great show and thinking about it still makes me happy. And I just turned 41 years old.

Rewatched Joe Schmo not that long ago. With hindsight it's easy to see how great she was, but at the time I thought the chick that played Ashleigh had the best shot at making it in showbiz.

Dr. Pat!

I hope Matt Kennedy Gould is in it.

What? Rogers was a Tory? Fuck that guy.

I dunno, "Deadwood" didn't care about history and it's a classic.

The funny thing is, "taxation without representation" is actually a real, legitimate gripe. The British weren't all bad guys, but they were certainly dipshits, could not have bungled the pre-war years any worse. Way to lose 13 colonies and waste a ton of money just to prove a point, dummies.

"Drums Along the Mohawk", a pretty good 1939 film with Henry Fonda.

The income tax, of course, was necessary.
