The Good Shepherd. not sure how i hadnt seen it before but i enjoyed it. was just missing something to make it truly great, probably the difference between Deniro directing and Scorsese directing. i like Damon playing it understated, but they should have had him let the anger out a few more times.

Scarface. if only i could have been there for the 80s, what a time to be alive. michelle pfeiffer in this one is so hot. juts incredible sex appeal.

fritzy baby its been weird because ten year ago i would have said inception was top 5 all time of any movie ever made. but through no fault of its own i've just grown to appreciate dunkirk and the prestige as the better films in nolan's arsenal. though i do love leo, but he's pretty muted in inception. my opinion will probably change the next time i watch inception though. they're both that good.

ran good last night and left up 350 big blinds. you can forget just how bad some people are at this game at 1/3 and you can just let them give it away. have the day off for juneteenth and looking like i might need a nap later. the only downside of last night is my back was hurting from the chairs and sitting for so long. this back pain is gonna plague me the rest of my life im afraid. i did enjoy listening to the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 'rewatchables' again on the drives to and fro. chris ryan and i are usually aligned and he was right, leo was on another planet in that movie

i've never used nail clippers because i am picking my nails constantly. i mean all the time, any time i have nervous energy. father's day is sunday so the wife needs to come through on some new clippers. or we leave her IN THE WOODS. enjoy the camping and don't get eaten by any bears. i think im gonna head to the casino tonight. i have this very lethargic and apathetic feeling right now but i need to make myself go becuase that feeling is never going away. hopefully cards will be live and pots will be monsters.

i watched the trailer for bone temple and it did look like a well shot movie, but i just dont see myself watching it. just not my cup of tea, as they say. i did find sevearl things on peacock (the ****) that i want to watch soon, most of all Master and Commander. what a movie that is.

THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES. watched it with my mom yesterday. i hadnt seen it in forever and i still greatly enjoyed it and think its really good. she was less than impressed and was not at all convinced that the mothman is out there trying to warn us. but i still believe. i thought it did a really good job of using the camera to make it feel like someone is watching you. like this shot from the beginning.

there's no easy way out, fritzy. there's no shortcut home. i'll be back this weekend for sure. maybe thursday night since i have friday off for JUNETEENTH. i wore my new G SHOCK as well and damn if it wasn't stylish as hell too. just brutally watchmogged 'em, as the kids say. i jsut finished walking the stairs in my house (up and down if you're unfamiliar with how stairs work) for 20 minutes and damn if that wasn't getting the heart going. gonna start doing that more often.

i went to the casino last night. played 1/3 for a while before a 5/5/10 game got going. was insanely card dead in 5/5/10 and lost 140 bucks. I was up about 500 after dwindling down for a while and then doubling up with AK and then the double board PLO bomb pot cost me 600 when i got quartered on the top board and missed the world on the bottom. just a damn shame. the AK was about the only hand i opened in four hours so i was proud of my patience, but it was painful.

sappy doesnt bother me as long as its well done. i remember from the rewatchables episode on saving private ryan bill simmons is moaning about the end where the old man asks his wife to tell him he's lived a good life. bill just has no sentimentality in him, but that scene always made sense to me and i liked it.

can we expect another script release? a few more pages might get the people talking.

i purposefully havent even watched the trailer for disclosure day, i want to see it knowing as little as possible. hopefully spielberg is back at the top of his game, we really need an incredible movie right now. something big that captures the whole culture if such a thing is even possible anymore.

there is a scene in seinfeld where they are stuck in traffic and go on side adventures after getting out of the saab. the famous puerto rico day parade episdoe late in the series, but they werent gambling. i'd work in a reference to the movie HEAT when gary gets back to the car. brad tells gary he has a problem if he's rolling dice and catching cards while stuck in traffic and gary says, well, brad, for me, the action is the juice. and brad says that doesn't even make sense for your gambliing addiction but tom sizemore is the man. and then the traffic clears thanks to the tom sizem
