I wasn’t prepared for how finny it was going to be in places. So good.

@1WayTrip
Yeah def agree lol. The movie plot line stuck with me most of yesterday, don’t wanna say too much and possibly spoil it for anyone else. We watched rental family last night, another great new movie. Nice to see Brenden Fraser resurgence, he def deserves these great roles.

Rest in Power King. I feel like your story is yet to be fully told…

On a related note, my general demeanor of crankiness makes me want to dislike Timothee Chalomet and his puckish manner but I have to remind myself that he’s a young guy on top of the world and he should be enjoying every minute of it.

Thank god. Only 2 weeks since I posted this and now have good reason to hate on this punk. I feel better. ‍

@Matt I'm guessing that means you saw Marty Supreme?

[Matt]

No I heard he’s facing backlash from talking shit about opera and ballet. Famous people do too much talking. The more you talk the better the chances you’ll say something stupid.

Gervais roasting actors at the Golden Globes for that very reason may have been one of the greatest all time opening monologues…

[Jett129]

@goosehd Slight thread drift. My all time favorite opening monologue. Been posting a lot of Norm Macdonald over on the jokes thread as of late. The transcript is helpful.

Watching Tootsie on Turner Classic Movies and liking Dustin Hoffman’s N1 and denim

What a ride, crazy story. Rarely predictable and never boring. And yet, respect to Chamalet's acting performance. Plus, his table tennis opponent has a wonderful name.

@endo have you been doing a deep dive into ping pong shows after your trip to Bangkok?

[Matt]

[sophisto000]

@Matt you ever see Honeysuckle Divine? First time I ever saw the ping pong ball trick (among many other tricks)…

[Matt]

I’ve had the misfortune and/or pleasure of attending more than a few bachelor parties.

[sophisto000]

Never have I had the in-person experience. Video was suffice.

I think you guys might like this story. There was a girl doing ping pong shows in NYC,right by a place that I was working at. I had gone on a few occasions. I get a call to audition for this band,I go to the audition,we hit it off, and they ask me to stick around and wait for the singer to show up. I agree and in walks the girl from the ping pong shows. We both recognize each other,after hearing her sing,I declined the offer. The singer was Wendy O. Williams,and the band would become The Plasmatics.

Legendary

[Bridger]

Ha, that's a fantastic story @Jett129!

I looked at the YouTube comments, and there is no mention of her table tennis career.

Perhaps you should add your story - for the Plasmatics fans that don't realise that Wendy was a renaissance woman

[Jett129]

@Bridger I think her background was pretty well known at the time. Although I don’t think anyone would’ve called her Wendy Supreme,maybe. Thanks for jogging that memory.

The Safdie's working conditions and their dull approach to women characters left me unconvinced of Marty. Glad One Battle and Sinners were recognised by the oscars. Also Matt I think it's fine to not be a chala-fan.
