    Just go to a damn bar. Live it up.

    But those aren’t real stories. None of them. which is pretty much, the point I tried to make above.

    QT movies, in general, are violent as hell. That’s true, and I completely understand that people sometimes don’t have the stomach for it. However, the way that he uses violence deserves a fair analysis, pleasant or not. I agree that sensational violence is a pretty old well that he keeps going back to, but I also believe that it is a story telling tool that he has mastered. To me, QT consistently uses the fantasy of violence to underscore its shadow- that is, true crime, historical/systemic and cultural violence. His movies are just movies, but our ideological reference for violence, death, tragedy, is also informed by reality. An example: in Django Unchained, what is the viewer intended to find more disturbing: the fetishisized blood bath of a finale, or the mosaic of suppressed memories of violent indentured servitude? Just my two cents. I’m not way into blood and gore either, tbh.

    I could write a book about Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. And, I think maybe I will. Unbelievable film. Had he not been cursed by making his masterpiece as a 30-year old cinematic anarchist, I would say this is QT’s highest achievement. I say that as a huge fan of almost everything he’s ever made.

    I would have traded the farm for Noah Syndergaard with two more seasons on the books. I would have done it four years ago. I would have done that three years ago. I would have done it last year, and I would have done it today.

    Well...what happened?

    Yep, Letterkenny is outstanding. I watched one episode and thought it kind of sucked. Then a couple more and I now think it’s the best thing ever. It’s like...Live action, Canadian King if the Hill with no filter and shades of Napoleon Dynamite.

    Whatever happens from here on out, I think it’s pretty fair to say Pérez has already shattered his projected contribution to the team. So, that’s playing with house money. If his new approach is legit, and he remains a mainstay with this over-performing club...well, someone deserves a raise.

    Us. Go see Us. Right now. Like right now. The avengers will still be there for weeks and weeks. Go see Us right now.

    The Twins are good again - there I said it! ...feels really good to get that off my chest.
  11. Pardon My Dinger
    Oh, please, God, no.

    What was up with the pitching change in the ninth? A righty for a righty, one out left. May saw 3 hitters across two innings. IDK, just seemed like a weird Gardy sorta decision.
  13. Pardon My Dinger
    The division part. That was a fun game though.

    Said ‘stony,’ meant stymy. Freudian slip or autocorrect? Either way...

    I can’t remeber a more encouraging opener, truly. I was waiting for the lineup to stony themselves into a boring, frustrating loss, but they did what they needed to back their starter up. I’m super happy for La Makkkkkkkkkkina, and cautiously optimistic that we may be able to close the book on one of the uglier chapters of Twins Baseball. Hope springs eternal, until it doesn’t, I suppose. Nonetheless, go Twins.
