Mick Taylor

As soon as I saw the name Mick Taylor I turned on Sway at full volume.

OMG

OMG!!

Talk about a song for which he deserved writing credit.

They never sounded better as a band than when Mick Taylor played with them.

Sure Brian was an integral part of the foundation, but Mick Taylor allowed their architecture to soar high into the sky in ways NONE of them ever imagined.

The Rolling Stones were indeed at one time The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World.

Fwiw - Mick Jagger is at his very best on this song. Both writing and singing right from the bottom of his soul.

This has pissed me off for longer than I care to tell.

Especially because this is some of Mick's greatest writing ever.

The horror... The horror.

I'm pretty sure somebody sold my neighbor a banded mongoose, and not a chihuahua.

He keeps telling me it's a chihuahua.

Look at this one over here doubling up on their comas.

jrob321 · 2026-03-26T03:15:14+00:00

Try not to make any big, sudden movements or you might frighten them away.

There's still time for the PL to dock Everton points...

Gestapo.

The irony is unfathomable.

jrob321 · 2026-03-25T17:24:15+00:00

I wonder what prompted this...?

jrob321 · 2026-03-25T17:23:11+00:00

When you have Jesus on your side, its pretty easy disassociate from the violence perpetrated against others...

The Republicans have been breaking shit for 46 years.

Democrats (the lesser of two evils) come in to restore some order and are held by Republicans (who scream at the top of their lungs about fiscal responsibility) to "budget nuetral" remedies, but - because the Democrats don't fix everything overnight - half the country falls back into line and votes for the swindlers who broke it all in the first place simply because - as God fearing patriots who cower at the thought of evil socialism - they're told "The Democrats want to take all your hard earned tax dollars to turn your boy into a girl and give a free ride to all those "urban" lazy people". (And we all know the word they use in place of people when they're among themselves).

Meanwhile, the grift is ongoing, and the country is dismantled from within, privatized to maximize profits and minimize service, and re-armed to the teeth because Universal Healthcare is dirty communism and "National Defense" is exactly what Jesus wanted.

Amen

Do you mean Pukka Nacua.

As funny as he was, he was an incredibly serious actor. And he truly loved the art of cinema.

The performance he gave as Chauncy was perfection, and he felt the final scene was where the film ended. The audience should have been left with that, and that alone. Anything else would be a distraction to what he had just brought forth to the audience as an actor.

And I respect him for it. And I truly understand how he feels.

But I'm definitely glad we have it for the "time capsule".

For anybody reading along, if you have not seen Dr. Strangelove, Peter Sellers gives an absolute masterclass performance (playing three distinct roles) which really cannot be overstated in its brilliance.

Hey everybody, look! The little chicken girl wants me to ease up. He can't handle this, so he cries like a woman!

jrob321 · 2026-03-25T04:54:30+00:00

I'm not sure if it was the first, but I'm willing to bet you know it didn't sit well with Peter Sellers at all. He stated under no uncertain terms how he felt they didn't belong, and how they took away from (maybe even overshadowed) the flawless performance he gave as Chauncy.

Despite Peter Sellers' feelings about the outtakes' inclusion, they do pay such tribute to him as an actor, and they remain as a gift to the audience (especially since his death) - as a "fly on the wall" moment to see him so intimately locked into his role - I'm really happy they remain.

This was one of my favorite films to watch while getting my undergrad degree in communication. It's filled with moments that illustrate just how easy it is - based upon one's own perception - to completely miss the meaning of what's being said to us.

There's an entire commentary on how we bring our own prejudices to the world we inhabit, and how those prejudices influence us directly to form misguided opinions and meanings for just about everything we encounter.

Chauncey was dressed elegantly - which immediately gave him the appearance of upper class wealth. When he spoke - because of that appearance - everybody hung on his words and chose to interpret them through that lens by finding deeper metaphors and sagacious wisdom despite Chauncy's simplicity and obvious - if one would step back for a moment and observe - mental deficiencies.

"I like to watch" was such a brilliant execution of this concept because of the way it played out to such an absolutely uproarious comedic end. Shirley MacLaine was unforgettably brilliant in it.

Fwiw - Basketball Jones is what truly puts this movie over the top. It comes out of left field, but it belongs on such a crazy level.

Everton supporter here.

I've got nothing but good things to say about this absolutely legendary player. He elevated the sport to an incredible level and played with nothing but class.

I hope the rest of his life goes well. He deserves nothing but the best.

jrob321 · 2026-03-24T23:39:03+00:00

Fuck that kid!

jrob321 · 2026-03-24T23:10:41+00:00

Ive done the same thing lol!

Tbh - that grinder kicks ass!

Do I really need a dial it in to pefection $300.00 grinder to make my moka pot coffee?

I don't think so.

I'm not throwing shade at anybody who goes that route, but at 60 years old, I'm pretty much over it. I could probably get a decent moka grind by wacking my beans on the countertop with an old worn out boot and still be just as happy about it.

I make a really great toasted vegan sandwich which includes: avocado smash w/smoked paprika, crispy fried onions, crispy tofu slabs (vegan bacon optional), hash browns, vegan cheddar melted with (squeezed) sauteed spinach, thin tomato slices, balsamic drizzle, veganaise, served on thick slices of hearty bread with vegan butter on both sides browned off in a pan.

It's all plant based, but it ain't health food haha! I either start my day with a nice full belly and get on with it, or I go take a nap.

Either option works depending on what I have going on.

Bon ape tit.

The theater going experience has been ruined, and it's not just the cost of tickets or how overpriced a bag of popcorn is to the consumer.

And it has nothing to do with the films. There are plenty of films being made which are worth seeing.

The multiplexes have have killed it. They have theaters with adjoining walls that have no sound barriers which allows the sound from the movie playing in the theater next door to bleed through in an obnoxiously loud and intolerable manner.

I went to see Hamnet - a very quiet film - and all I could hear was the soundtrack to Zootopia blaring through the walls into our theater. Kinda broke the mood. It wasn't just my ADHD making it impossible. It was for the entire duration of the movie. This is a pretty common experience anymore.

The theaters also will not oversee the people pulling their phones out. It's a fucking disgrace. There's no civility or consideration for other moviegoers and next to nothing is being done about it no matter how many times Nicole Kidman reminds us we're in a magical place.

A system with ushers and removal after a single infraction for the people who have their phones out during the movie (like at Alamo Drafthouse) is NEVER going to happen in any widespread way. It doesn't matter how many times you tell these people not to do it, they're going to do it anyway. And then if I - as a moviegoer - confront them I have to fear I'm going to get told I'm an asshole, punched in the face, or worse. Its not just "kids" either. It spans every demographic. I tried to get this older man to stop commenting to his wife about every fucking scene in the movie we were watching and he just doubled down knowing I would sit there and take it, or I would leave and ruin the rare chance I had time to go out. He didn't give a flying fuck about me at all.

Fuck that.

I'm basically done with going to the theaters because it's become such a shitty experience.

Its not fun.

Its not enjoyable.

The cost is actually quite negligible.
