to be clear I wasn’t trying to say what about the WW2 generation’s parents, only to point out that while the WW2 generation have a lot to answer for they moved the ball forward (not enough) for the right of POC as time went on in many places.

generation dates tend to be a little fluid, if you talk to a someone born in 1979 if they feel more like Gen x or Gen Y tends to be related to having siblings or friends who fall on the older side or younger side.

 “The Silent Generation (aka the Greatest Generation)“
ahh not the same generation,

pens still leak and loose pens still end up in the wash. I have a pocket protector with pens and other small items I carry in a front pants pocket.... I also use one for a case for my off brand phone..

“John Hughes who gave it depth in movies like Weird Science and The Breakfast Club”

depth as in Anthony Michael Hall started playing the Jock and/or  bully after those two films and let’s recall that in The Breakfast Club two male criminals get girls and the non criminal gets to write an essay..

I am just going to add to the dead kid story that these days it is SOP for Law Enforcement officers & employees to have to report all outside of work contact with police to their superior officers. Even if ELO/Employees are a passenger in a car and are pulled over they have to report that. Mostly it is not a big…

1980's The APPLE (yes you have shout it) is set in the far future of 1994 and is one of the most wonderful WTF films of all time..

so Gilmore Girls with the serial numbers filled off...or northeast-non-union

Great to see The Groovie Ghoulies on the list. 1999 was the year of Fun in the Dark album which was a solid records. To me, they never seemed to get the attention they deserved. People still don’t seem to get the Horror/Cartoon look and lyrics were used in service of talking about being an outsider, not fitting in and…

Point Blank and The Outfit are solid takes on the Stark Books.. but yes mostly the film versions aren’t that good... or detour from core of the books too much.

Shannon is a good call.. right now if it was HBO or Amazon I would cast James Ransone from The Wire and It: pt 2 as Parker. Maybe have some fun and have him do a Dortmunder season while they are at it.

I have read all but the 2 final Parker books and all 4 of the books. I have yet to find one that I didn’t like. I do recommend picking up Dead Skip by Joe Gores which crosses over with Plunder Squad.. and it is a solid book as well. Also the Parker graphic novels are very good.

Both Point Blank and Payback are based on the book.. The Hunter by Richard Stark (Donald Westlake) which is a corner stone series of crime fiction for it’s era.  I wish someone would to one of those  HBO series covering the first run of the books.. I get the impression that a lot of writers, directors and actors would…

White Supremacists come to a house looking to kill people to start a race war.. it’s not murder it is self defense 

Last I checked my credit union has it’s own coinstar like machine and being a member they don’t charge a fee to convert them. I bet there are other banks that do the same..
