The movie you just watched
Saw Monkey Man this week and really enjoyed it. People keep bringing up John Wick, but it has much more on its' mind. The setting and environment is very unique and not something you see a lot in movies. It's much more political in nature. As far as the action, I think it is more similar to something like Atomic Blond. The action is actually pretty minimal and when it happens, it is much more brutal and personal than Wick. It's people just trying to survive with whatever is within arm's reach, instead of the Gun Fu of John Wick. You can see some of the seams of the story since it bounced around so many studios (it's an interesting Hollywood story), but it's a really impressive directing debut from Dev Patel. These movies are not easy to make.

Sure, just put it in car wash mode. But note that car wash mode turns off your wipers…..so, good luck, I guess?

2024 Masters
Can't remember if you were there, but we had a Shaggy happy hour there 15 or so years ago.

We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey.
A little Dick, who was perfectly cast as well. Marie de Salle's playing. You remember I told you about her. I like her. She's kind of Sheryl Crow-ish crossed with a post-Partridge Family pre-L.A. Law Susan Dey kind of thing, but, you know, uh, black. One of my favorite movies. They're actually showing it at the Alamo a few times this month if you're interested.

Shogun
Mariko killed it that episode. Council scene was fantastic. Pretty awesome episode, even without Toranaga. Needs more Fuji though.

Vulcan Video at Alamo Village
I went and grabbed a matinee at Alamo Village today (Money Man - really liked it). When I was walking in, I noted a video return box for Vulcan Video outside and when I walked in, they had a bunch of DVD sleeve inserts organized by director and genre. I asked the guy at the desk and he said that they bought the Vulcan Video inventory and are setting up a small rental shop, hopefully completed by the end of April. He said that they will be free rentals, just asking people to bring them back. It's DVD's for now, but they are working to figure out VHS as well at some point, although it's harder to find and not many people still have (or want) VHS players. I'll be interested to see it when it's set up. Just FYI for you physical media heads out there.

Bluey Megathread
Netflix has put out some really underrated animated movies the last few years. We watched Mitchells vs. the Machines again a few weeks back and that's probably better than any Disney/Pixar movie since probably Inside Out. I actually like Mitchells vs. the Machines better. It's so good. We also really like The Sea Beast and have heard good things about Nimona.

2024 Masters
Max HAS to be more aggressive on 13 and 15
-
2024 Masters
I'm rooting for Max. Just an extremely likable guy. He'll probably need to hit one of these birdie putts though.
-
2024 Masters
Yeah for sure. I was more referencing everyone else. Max had a bad shot in. Bryson and Morikawa both 3 putted 13. As I speak, Bryson just dunked a chip at 15. Yikes.

2024 Masters
These leaders can’t afford to just par the par 5s. They have to at least birdie those.

Outside of Scottie’s eagle, it’s a blood bath out there.

Documentaries- whatchoo got?
If you want to see one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever, the 7 Up Series is for you. Starting in 1964 when they were 7, they have visited with the same 15 or so people every 7 years to see how they have changed. They aired 63 Up in 2019, so they have done 9 episodes. It's enthralling and unexpected every time. Some depressing and sad parts, but also some beautiful changes throughout their lives. The overall concept is that you can show a child at 7 and you can tell who they will be when they are older. Basically a nature/nurture experiment for the last 60 years. Some of that has seemed the same while others have varied wildly. It's truly incredible to watch the whole thing. The main filmmaker (Michael Apted) died a couple of years ago, but I really hope they keep it going. It can be hard to find them all, but it's worth it.

Formula 1 2024
This could be a dumb question, but why do they require at least one tire change? That seems like it could be an interesting strategy wrinkle at certain tracks.

What's up with Day's pants? Was he inspired by the TJ/Melo/Perk commercial?

2024 Rain Thread: All Your El Nino Are Belong to Us
We got about 10 minutes of hail at Balcones and 2222. Not quite golfball but bigger than I had seen in years. I was worried my skylights were about to crack. Loud as shit.

Tokyo Vice. Michael Mann. HBO Max.
About to come here and say something similar. They left it in a good spot with some storylines closed and some open. It would be a good place to stop. I just don't know what kind of traction this has gotten. It seems pretty light, but I could be wrong. Season 2 was terrific throughout though. Fuck that FBI lady.

new Curb tonight, mofos
Man, he hates that so much. Got out of there ASAP. I felt like the seasons after the long break after season 8 were really uneven. Leon was pretty hit or miss and he was the most common foil to Larry. I think Cheryl’s incredulousness was missed. That said, the finale was great and it went out on a high

Clark is obviously the best on her team but she has been pressing for most of the 4th.

Seems weird. Maybe they’re talking about refunding of the deposits to get a Cybertruck? - 2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready
