That was an ass whooping. Guess it means the ceiling of this team is just wild card round.

The media would never do that because it would be "unfair" to call out the lying liar who lies all the time. They gotta do both sides you know.

You mean libertarians.

Fantastic Western. I need to see the movie someday. I also read Stoner by John Williams, which definitely lived up to the hype--"The best book you've never read" is the blurb on the cover. I now have read 3 of John Williams' 4 novels. Each of them are wonderful and so different from the other. I haven't settle on a new novel yet, but I'm going back and forth between Elmore Leonard short stories, a few chapters of Moby Dick, and a new book on the directing team of Powell and Pressburger.

October: Salvatore Giuliano - not all Italian neo-realism is my thing, and this was one that wasn’t. I liked seeing Frank Wolff (maybe the first time I’ve seen him speaking Italian). Beautiful shots of Sicily and a good ending, but it didn’t really get my water moving. Sneakers - One of my favorites from when I was a kid. Absolutely holds up, especially with that cast. It’s such a tragedy that River Phoenix died so young–what a talent. My Darling Clementine - A gorgeous black and white take on the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Victor Mature gives a wonderful and deeply felt performance as Doc Holliday. The Hamlet scene and his delivery of the soliloquy is quite moving, and a great scene to show what the West was becoming. Monument Valley just pops in the black and white. You get these wonderful shots of the town with Monument Valley in the background. Just great stuff. Plus it has Walter Brennan. Great movie. Rocco and His Brothers - I had only seen one Visconti before it (The Leopard), and even though I liked that one a lot he wasn’t really someone on my radar, I just picked this one cause I love Alain Delon. And now Visconti might be my favorite director. This is just an incredible movie with a bunch of insane performances. Annie Girardot’s gut-wrenching one will be a favorite for a long, long time. It was filmed in Milan and looks beautiful, but it doesn’t just show the fancy areas, though the Duomo makes an appearance, it goes into the tenements as well. It shows real poverty amidst a society that is growing but leaving some behind. A beautiful and sad movie. Anatomy of a Murder - Jimmy Stewart is just a humble country lawyer, Ben Gazzara (always amazing) is his slimy client, and George C. Scott is the hotshot prosecutor. Any courtroom drama with a cast like that is going to be incredible. Senso - I went back to Visconti here, a color movie this time. And it is gorgeous. The colors of the uniforms, the opera house, Venice. Everywhere you look just gorgeous contrasts. La Strada - Fellini’s first big one. Giulietta Masina’s performance glows, she can be so bright and then a half second later you can see the deep sadness. I liked it more than I Vitelloni, but it’s not my favorite of his. The trio of 8 ½, La Dolce Vita, and Amarcord will always be my favorite, though I still have a few Fellinis that I need to watch. The Seven-Ups - An insanely good car chase, Roy Scheider, good 70s clothing, and not much else. Hopscotch - I watched this because I wanted to watch a Walter Matthau movie. He was good, but this was a comedy that just wasn’t that funny. Le Notti Bianche - If you had asked me before this month, I would have said that Fellini was my favorite Italian director. But now I think it has to be Visconti, this is the 3rd of his I watched this month. I liked seeing Marcello Mastroianni in a different kind of role, not as confident as he is in La Dolce Vita. A little more earnest and honest. Which makes what happens at the end all the sadder. The Age of Innocence - I’m slowly trying to work my way through the Scorsese films that I haven’t seen yet. I really liked this one, especially how it looked. I’ll be thinking about that gorgeous scene by the lighthouse for awhile. This month was me becoming a massive Luchino Visconti fanboy.

Oh yes.

If "my father will hear of this" became a real boy.

They're tanking.

I'm no expert (of course), but a lot of that depends if there is a vowel in the next syllable or a consonant. So take 앉, the ㅈ will get moved to the next syllable if it starts with a vowel. So 앉아, the ㅈ sound gets moved to the second syllable and gets pronounced there. So it would be pronounced like "안/자" (an/ja).

I feel bad for Paul Sewald. This season was maybe one of the worst Mariners seasons of all time. They decided not to spend in the off-season, and watched as a division rival goes on to spend and win their first World Series. After they missed the postseason (by failing to beat said division rivals, both of them), they then get ripped by their own core players for failing to do enough. And to top it all off, the team president gives a press conference at the end of the year where he basically says the fans should be content to simply be over .500. And the fucking owner doesn’t give a shit, because the team is insanely profitable (according to Forbes the most profitable), so why should he bother spending any money when he knows that no matter what he will make money? Dark, dark times.

I think you’re making my point for me: he needs everything to be perfect around him for him to be any good. Absolutely impossible for this to play a role in my evaluation of him.

Schefter has it. Raiders fire coach Josh McDaniels, GM David Ziegler - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM The Las Vegas Raiders have fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager David Ziegler, it was announced late Tuesday night. And there’s the link.

Thank god it’s arrow-proof because my commute actually takes me through 12th century Sherwood Forest.

Until they get a real QB it’s a Ferrari frame with a moped engine.

Oh I like this.

Those crazy bastards. Gotta leave it to the last minute before they stop playing like ass. JSN

Best Halloween costume I’ve seen.

Those in Nestor houses shouldn't throw gay bombs.

We should try. It’s popular (despite what the fetishists claim):

Words about smoothbore fucking muskets that assholes use to justify owning weapons of mass destruction (yes an assault rifle is a weapon of mass destruction [and no I don't care if a gun fetishist says I'm using the wrong terminology]).

The most frustrating thing is we absolutely have a solution, just we can never implement it due to the selfishness of certain Americans.
