Then again, I never was a parent…partially because I didn't want to deal with someone else's shit, largely because I didn't want to turn into someone who did and had to palliate the unpleasantness by calling it 'poop'.
(Yes, I know, I am now _just_asking_ to end-up having to deal with a senile loved one's dung…I don't believe in G-d, but I _do_ fear His Sense of Humour.)
No, I'm stealing and transforming someone's comment regarding Maryolatry: 'Ask most any Italian [as in Italy, not Italian-American] male over the age of twelve if G-d exists, and he will answer "No, He does not, and Mary is His mother.".'.
LOL mucho. I want to see this movie so bad. Especially the big finale where Clint dons an inflatable fat suit and uses all his rusty rodeo clown skills - shaking his ass, waving funny props, and yelling insults -- to distract a gang of thugs from killing Rafael. A big car chase with Clint's Rascal is a must-see.
Clint may be a bad tempered right wing reactionary prick, ( which may happen to everybody with a prostate when we’re 90 , especially if we’re rich AF) But man, he’s been t the hardest working man in show business for years. And he can sure make a film. I haven’t much cared for any of his movies since Unforgiven – (Josey Wales was the high point. John Ford meets Sergio Leone.)
Speaking of Cowboy Junkies, I heard this the other day – A cover of a song off the latest Dylan album. Nice!
Speaking of rodeos, everyone should go watch Junior Bonner. I really watched it for the first time last year.Happy drunk Peckinpah is as valid as violent angry drunken Peckinpah.
I really liked Gran Torino- he was made for the role. The Iwo Jima films, especially the Japanese film was excellent. Million Dollar Baby didn't work for me.
Jersey Boys is OK, but his heart wasn't in it since there's no government villian. Even the Mafia boss that Tommy/Tony/coma si' the fuck nama owed a million bucks to was a reasonable man. If you like the 4 Seasons at all its a fun ride, and Clint throws in some polish and nice touches. Agree on everything else.
Honestly, when I read this, I thought it was another of your fanciful stories, the dreaming of the conservative drama/play (do they go to these no except a Netflix, a an obscure media website for the "rousters of conservatism", or a 150 mile away theatre?) billinsd would know). I had not seen the trailer for it yet when first reading this. But I tried to come home at an appropriate time (8 PM, I'm on time!) Then I grabbed a beer, waited for more relaxation, my wife and daughter who were fully into the making dinner part and mom is teaching and "NO, WE DO NOT NEED YOUR HELP", (no we do not need you) so I started the gold medal match between Sweden and Canada for women's soccer (futbol). It happens to be my jam since I've been an NWSL fan and a Thorns fan since the beginning. The league in and of itself is considered a premier league. There are many on our teams so I know the pluses and minuses. At work, the Swedish guy was Team Sweden. I was Team Canada. No bets were made you NYC kid. It was all excitement.
It wasn't until the commercial break, that I saw the trailer. I went. "AHA! hat's what he is talking about...
Can I say that your trailer would be more satisfying?
Especially the punching in the dick from a Rascal....
Loved this one all on its own, it's just perfect, but watching the Eastwood trailer does add depth. Why the fuck is he using so much dialogue when nobody in the cast can read lines including him?
"Now when I go to pee I gotta bring a squeegee and a blow dryer."
From The Hollywood Squares:
Peter Marshall--"Going to Charlie Weaver for the block. Charlie, True or false? Researchers say a pea can last 5,000 years."
Charlie Weaver--"Boy, it sure seems that way sometimes."
Just using this as an excuse to express my hatred for 'pee', 'poop', 'boob', 'willy', 'vʼjayjay', &c..
'Give me "fæces" or give me "shit"!'
('Dung' or 'shite' are also acceptable; 'crap' is a little cute, but at least has angry gymn teacher or W.A.S.P. suburban dad in't.)
c'mon pee is different than poop. As different as #1 from #2
Sometimes #2 is my #1 problem.
Definition of a WASP: someone who steps outside the shower in order to pee.
No shit?

So you're thinking God likes poop jokes?
Maybe that's why he gave us Trump as a piece of shit president.

Had no idea old Clint was back in the saddle, errr, Rascal. Well, this should be….problematic
i don't know what to make of this, but i sure got some laughs out of it. one thing's for sure, 'my mule don't like people laughing at him.'
"[CUT TO ZEKE rolling in his Rascal through a deserted Mexican bar.]" If this gets greenlighted it's going to the top of my watchlist.
Some words are just inherently funny, like “squeegee” and “Kushner.”
A most enjoyable LOL —
Not sure what this is about but I laffed! Clint is back?
That was my reaction when I watched (about one fourth of) that link Roy posted. "Oh, is he still alive? And making movies? WHY?"
LOL mucho. I want to see this movie so bad.

Not since the “merging action!” freeway scene of MST3K’s “Mitchell” has the screen been so alive!
I really enjoyed this- Thanks!

Oh, I love his movies. Haven't been motivated to see, say, Jersey Boys, but I appreciated American Sniper: https://alicublog.blogspot.com/2015/02/on-to-oscar-3.html

Thanks for the many laughs, Roy.
OTOH, this triggered memories of the godawful Cody rodeo we recently attended. Still, amused.
Let this cleanse your palate:

I'm surprised people are asking about my inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVc8SI5CAKw
OMG. There’s self parody and then there’s THAT.
“I see a role for a dessicated Jon Voight in this. Is the mummified corpse of John Wayne available?”
"A guy wants to name his cock Macho, it's OK by me!" was probably the first thing written in this script
Didn’t know about it this morning. Now I do but don’t give a shit sorry.

Some days I feel long winded.
Hmm... well I awarded 5 guffaws to yesterday's post but I got even more out of today's, but 5 is the max so here's 5 more guffaws!
Seriously though, I'll be giggling over this one all day.
"...the audience will relate to a 103-year-old man flirting with a woman in her 60s."
Right, take Sabrina and add 40 to both sides of the equation.
'Marta'.
