  1. Seize the Day with Robin Williams 1986. Witheld from theatrical release because of it's departure from his comediac roles. This was without a doubt the most depressing film I have seen. It's on Prime. Not recommended. Wikipedia ReceptionThe Philadelphia Inquirer critic, Ken Tucker, praised the performances, but wrote that the film was "a little boring in its relentless depression". The director, he wrote, was "all too willing to let a scene dawdle, the better to emphasize Tommy's torture".[5] A San Francisco Examiner critic called the film a "powerful drama" and a "remarkably faithful reproduction" of the Bellow novel, and praised the performances, calling Williams "first rate".[4] The New York Times critic, John J. O'Connor, praised Wiseman's performance, and said that Stiller "steals the film". But he criticized the casting of Robin Williams as too "Middle American" for a role as a Jewish New Yorker. He wrote that Williams's performance was excessively intense, and that the portrayal of Jewish people whose only yardstick is money is "a scenario calculated to unsettle, possibly even offend".[2] Writing in New York magazine, critic John Leonard called the film "ugly stuff", but said that Williams "is, for the most part, up to it"

    I had to sell Top Down 1 due to some financial crunch. I was able to buy another car a few years later. Here is Top Down 2. It is a 2008 Carrera S. It is almost completely stock. The "Lobster Fork" wheels are painted body color matched from the factory. I want to start modifying Top Down 2 to look more like Top Down 1. Wheels, headlight rings, front lip, red seat belts, maybe the rear spolier (maybe not). It needs a little work right now too. The convertible top hydraulic motor seals went out, so I need to fix that. It needs a paint correction too. Other than that, just some regular maintenance. The red calipers could use a refresh, so I think I will rebuild and repaint them soon when I need to replace the brake fluid and pads. The tires have plenty of rubber, but they are 6 years old. I want to get new wheels when I need new tires.

    Here are some pictures of Top Down 1 after the lip and paint correction:

    I am going to be doing an update / retro-restoration on my 997.1. I'm going to document the progress somewhere. I'm not sure where. Probably 6speedonline or rennlist. Here's the story and the plan for the car. When my oldest son was just a little fella, say 3 or 4, I bought my first 911. Not my first Porsche though, my wife was driving a fairly new Cayenne S that was totally excellent. My son saw that the top goes up and the top goes down. He named it Top Down. I loved it. So Top Down 1 was (is) a 2006 Carrera S. The build sheet is really great. Slate grey metallic, brown top, sports seats with painted seat backs, red seat belts, etc. It was nicely modified by a previous owner with TechArt wheels, painted headlight rings, and TechArt rear spoiler (small, classy). I added a GT3tek front lip spoiler (painted) and did a full paint correction. I also replaced some of the interior parts that were worn out by the time I took ownership. Here are some photos of Top Down 1 at 9k miles (before I bought it).
  5. My brain stuck Irish into that sentence. I was impressed that you Irish-up your breakfast cereal. That's a bold strategy Cotton. That reminds me of the time when I flew to Hawaii by myself (direct flight from Dallas to Honolulu, the big nice jumbo jet flight). I was going on a Naval Tiger Cruise at 15 years old. I got upgraded to first class for some reason. I had been to Hawaii the previous year with my family in the back with the poor people. I had no idea what luxury flight I was getting into. Anyways, I was seated next to this single guy that was flying to Hawaii to photograph high school girls soccer. He was in an exceptionally good mood and drank all of the free liquor he could in first class. They finally cut him off when he was drunk and ordered ice cream. He wanted Kalua on his ice cream. For some reason that was their limit with that guy.
  6. That's some cocaine gospel right there.

  11. The Boys. Classic coming of age stories with super hero stuff and cool special effects. The political plot lines are pretty far fetched so he won’t get confused with current events. Lots of father son bonding moments. Mother son moments are touching too.

    Angela wants Tommy to use it to buy a ring.

    This video is pretty long, but it has a few good parts. The story at the beginning lets you get to know him. The interior finish. The detail finish. And the Autobahn cruising at 300kph like it's nothing. I would trade my 911 for that M5.
  14. I don’t think right lane driving is common etiquette. What bugs people is the lady that is walking in front of me in traffic and just suddenly stops for some reason. Usually the phone l, not reading isle labels. Just oblivious that everyone had to brake check and is waiting. This happens at airports too.
