Easy Riders and Raging Bulls. Documentary about the director movement of late 60s and 70s featuring Coppola, Scorsese, Lucas, Spielberg, Bogdanovic, Hopper, Ashby and others. My favorite movie decade was the 70s but the documentary was just ok and not really insightful. Maybe the book was better.
Il Postino. The main actor was dying from cancer as the film was being made. It’s been done many times, but the scene at the end when Pablo Neruda (Phillips Noiret) is on the beach and stares into the camera.
Shoplifters - when the daughter is returned to her parents and the contrast between her created family and real family is heartbreaking.
He looks like a great cheerleader from yesterdays game. He’s young and he’s competing to be be Jedi’s backup. His play at Palermo in serie2 hasn’t been stellar but the season just started.
i’d like to see Tilman start the next game. He’s a more like for like for Reyna. A healthy Reyna has got to play midfield for the US. We are way too predictable and limited without a creative player in the attack. A backup midfield of Luca and Tilman and whoever doesn’t start from MMA is the correct path forward. Considering injury history of our midfielders we need quality depth. Aaronson should be considered as well but I’d prefer him as relief.
Will Gregg listen to his assistant who had success with Reyna at mf? .
A backup 6 would be nice but, Tessman doesn’t look ready. Musah looks to be the best backup 6.

I'm not sure it is true that US and Canada lost because of no big man. I think it had an effect, but Germany cut really well in moving without the ball and shot well. There offense rebound edge was about effort and not overwhelming size.
idk about Canada as I didn’t watch them.
We’ll see next summer what happens in the Olympics.
While working I listen to Conan’s podcast on Sirius Xm along with other channnels like soccer, little Steven’s underground garage, freakonomics and some more music ones.
Tracy Morgan on Conan’s podcast is fucking hilarious. He starts around the 18th minute and just fucks with Conan. Damn the podcast has a lot more commercials than the satellite radio channel.

Slovenia still can qualify next year in June euro tournament per ESPN.
from nbc article https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/canada-basketball-olympics-fiba-world-cup#:
“Canada joins the U.S., which also qualified Sunday, as well as host nation France, Australia, South Sudan and Japan in the 12-team Olympic field. The top two European nations at the World Cup will also qualify, plus four more nations via the last-chance qualifying tournaments”
US and Lithuania play tomorrow. Both have qualified for quarters.
Same for Germany and Slovenia as they play tomorrow but both are already qualified at 4-0
Winners of tomorrow games qualify for quarters in the other brackets as all teams are 3-1. Should be some competitive games. Too bad they’re not on at reasonable times.
Italy v Puerto Rico
Brazil v Latvia
Dominican Republic v Serbia
Spain v Canada.
REM usually had good opening. Ands and the Minutemen outclassed them on one show and the DB’s did another time.
Townes Van Zandt kicked Cowboy Junkies ass but it was an unfair competition no matter how drunk TVZ was.
US toughed it out against Montenegro. Yugoslavia would have a hell of a team if the country didn’t annihilate itself. Slovenia Serbia and Montenegro all made it the second round.
I saw Ikiru (To Live) several years ago and was struck by its redemptive power and its social commentary. My brother recommended Living since it was a remake of ikiru and I intend to see it sometime.
Old Comedies that are raunchy and funny
Inbetweeners - still on prime
Ideal - pot dealer with colorful visitors and emphasis on dark for the comedy part
Spaced. Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost.
Fresh Meat - on prime. 6-7 uni students sharing a flat. Same creators as peep show.
Coupling - on prime. Concepts such as porn buddies, captain subtext, Dick Darlington.
Why wouldn’t Pepi be called up? I can see Gio not getting called up due to his injury. No matter how difficult it will be, he needs to have a face to face conversation with Gio. I recommend he knock on his door with some beer, burgers and fries for Sunday night football.
