I’m out. Ta-ta!

In the Renaissance Man category, add that he was once married to Exene Cervenka, which gives him a special kind of cred in my book.

Yes, in the sense that a great, catchy, memorable, lasting pop song “beats” a moronic, Trump-ass-kissing, has-been, rapper wannabe whose sole accomplishment is ruining two great songs in one fell swoop.

Maybe a hot take but I far prefer the Spector version of Rock and Roll High School, which seems to have been scrubbed from the Spotify version of the album and replaced with the original movie version. Sill on the Ramones Mania compilation, however.

The Rose was, through a nonprofit organization, used as a sail training ship where you could crew for a fee. So, yes I paid good money for the privilege of cleaning the head and painting the ship the Nelson Chequer (at the suggestion of Patrick O’Brian, who had recently toured the ship). But it was so worth it.

I am a megafan of the novels (all 20 of them), as they are relentlessly entertaining, well-written, humorous, and intelligent, and reflect author Patrick O’Brian’s limitless font of details of world and British history, science, the arts of sailing and sea warfare, and English society. Much of the “action” takes place

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Incredible Stains.

Chris Pine, call your agent.

I always guessed they got the “Howdy, howdy, howdy” line from a classic Far Side cartoon:

Uh, it’s based on the original pulpy Perry Mason novels. Not a “gritty reboot,” but a return to the source material.

Coming in six months: the commercial where he gets in a drunken bar fight, gets a (peanut) shell fragment lodged in his eye, and has to start wearing a monocle and carrying a cane for self-protection.

Oneders.

I think you mean “mangle ours.”

Probably wouldn’t work if they retain the burgundy and gold color scheme.

Nice Neko reference.

Interestingly, “five foxes fucking” was in an older version of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

The biggest problem for me is that George and Lorraine get married, have a son, and he grows up to be ... absolutely identical to Calvin, the boy who helped get them together 30 years ago in high school (and then inexplicably disappeared), and whom Lorraine seriously tried to bone. Why aren’t they absolutely freaked

Well, it’s kinda hard to produce, film, release, and watch (in theaters) movies now, so, yeah, I guess.
