    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.
  14. Pardon My Dinger
    Said ‘stony,’ meant stymy. Freudian slip or autocorrect? Either way...
  15. Pardon My Dinger
    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.

    This article is very stupid...but also very interesting.
  17. Pardon My Dinger
    This team has never looked good in blue. Still don’t. Especially when they try and match them with pinstriped pants. Ewww.
  18. Pardon My Dinger
    I don’t think we’ve seen the next retired number yet. We all love Radke, but if Kaat’s number isn’t retired, neither will radke’s. No idea.
  19. Pardon My Dinger
    This one I surely do not understand.
  20. Pardon My Dinger
    He’s a good enough baseball player. Should fit the Esco role adequately.
  21. Pardon My Dinger
    That Garfield, I tell ya. How do they manage to keep their material so fresh?
  22. Pardon My Dinger
    Sign Hamilton, two man outfield, shift the whole league to death.
  23. Pardon My Dinger
    They didn’t get him for nothing. A roster spot isn’t nothing, especially when they’ve finally got some money to burn.
  24. Pardon My Dinger
    Sharp Objects and The Sinner. Both very good shows. I do not recommend trying to watch them at the same time. They are pretty much the same thing.
  25. Pardon My Dinger
    Not a current movie, but I can’t remember if I’ve recommended this one to TD folks before... I LOVE sports movies, and I can only assume many of you do as well. I have one single favorite of all time. Just so happens, it’s World Cup time at the moment, so it’s a topical one as well, and I’m going to rewatch it this evening. The Damned United. Best sports movie (non documentary) ever. Find it, watch it, enjoy.
