Saturday Night Supper Plans? 10/19/2024

[ItsJoanNotJoAnn]

Beautiful fall day here and I hope it's as nice where you
live. What will you be having for supper tonight? Any
special plans?

I've prepared a giant pot of vegetable beef soup and
will dig in when it's done and that should be in about
an hour. Twas a busy day here; I'm pooped and starving.

Not quite decided yet, but there is a big chance it will be pumpkin soup
with croutons and salted pork. Some olie oil drizzled on top as well I
suspect. I will know within the next 3 hours! =)

P.S. Yes, I do feel bad for eating the food of other animals and insects.
I tried to explain that to the wife, but she called me "silly". =(

I know, she doesn't understand, but I'll convert her slowly but surely.
Thank you for supporting me in the good fight!

Fried chicken. I picked up a to-go box at a nearby gas station. They
inject the chicken with hot sauce so it tastes nice and spicy.

I'm probably going to watch 'Village of the Damned'(1960) on TCM. That
was a fun, creepy old movie.

Now Master, you know Jill isn't that old. Picking up gas station chicken
is something young people do, not elderly women.

Besides, her royal anus smells the same, right?

You prolly saw this, but Mitzi Gaynor just passed at the age of 93...

She "famously" appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in early 1964, sharing
the spotlight with THE BEATLES... "She appeared between two sets by The
Beatles when they made their second appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show
on February 16, 1964. She has recounted the irony of members of the
band, already famous for their distinctive “mop-tops”, borrowing her
hair dryer behind the scenes..."

One of those who I thought had been "long gone"... the pic in this obit
shows her at the young - old age of 90, she still looks pretty great:

https://apnews.com/article/mitzi-gaynor-dead-south-pacific-320eb99fe0824091babafac794dc2320

"LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mitzi Gaynor, the effervescent dancer and actor who
starred as Nellie Forbush in the 1958 film “South Pacific” and appeared
in other musicals with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, has
died. She was 93.

Gaynor, among the last survivors of the so-called golden age of the
Hollywood musical, died of natural causes in Los Angeles on Thursday
morning, her long-time managers Rene Reyes and Shane Rosamonda confirmed
in a statement to The Associated Press...

Gaynor also starred in several television variety specials, including
“Mitzi...Zings Into Springs” and “Mitzi...Roarin’ in the 20’s.” Many of
the specials received nominations for Emmy Awards, with wins for
choreography, lighting, art design and costume design, the last of which
was awarded to Gaynor’s longtime collaborator, Bob Mackie. The specials
were the subject of the 2008 documentary “Mitzi Gaynor: Razzle Dazzle!
The Special Years...”

I always liked her, and she seemed to be a genuinely happy
person. Yes, I saw it right after it appeared online.

Probably 10 years or more ago I saw an interview she had
given. She said 365 days a year, no matter where she was
or if it was vacation or a holiday, she did her exercise,
weights, and stretching routine. She stated it took four
hours to complete this regimen. If she was offered a
musical play or a Las Vegas show she was ready to begin
rehearsals as soon as she signed the contract. No weeks
of preparation and hitting the gym to get her shape.

I watch new movies as well as old ones. What I dislike are serious
dramas.

"Nowhere Special": Focusing pragmatically on the ordinary human moments
that bind us, Nowhere Special leads us somewhere devastating yet
surprisingly uplifting.

No thanks.

"Deadpool and Wolverine", yes, please.

I watched a bunch of serious movies when I was young. I'm done.

I don't have any blanket statements like "I dislike serious dramas".
Wait, I have one: "I don't like blockbusters". Americans make lots of
those. But they also make good independent, alternative movies. It's
been a while since I saw one, though. I remember downloading and
watching several movies of the Sundance Festival of 20 years ago and
liking most of them. These days, I mainly watch AU, NZ and NL movies.
Something like 300 a year. Some of those movies I turn off after 20
minutes.

Aw, Bruce. You know I don't like people. Why should I watch a
character-driven drama involving people whining about their lives
when I can watch a blockbuster that involves two guys in spandex?

I find myself agreeing with Bruce. Back in thee video rental days I
tended to avoid the movies they had dozens of copies of, usually Oscar
winners and nominees. There way too many star vehicles, movies written
to take advantage if the limited talents of Hollywood stars. There are
a number of Hollywood stars who are cast in films mainly because they
will attract views. They are generally the same who will repel me from
watching the film.

FWIW I watched a really good drama a couple days ago. The Last Bus is
about an old man who uses his seniors local bus pass to travel all the
way from John O'Groats in northeast Scotland down to Land's End in the
extreme southwest of England to dispose if his wife's ashes. Some
details of his life are related in flashback. I admit to having tears in
my eyes at the end of it.

After the Oscars each year I check the next day to see who
won for best foreign film. They are generally quite, quite
good and I can see how they won that honor. Two that come
to mind are "Amour" and "Departures." Unless you are fluent
in French or Japanese, you'll have to turn on the closed
captioning function. The 1996 Japanese movie "Shall We
Dance?" was nominated but did not win, but it's really a
very good movie.

After finishing Babylon Berlin, I decided to continue with the german
theme. Therefore I am currently wathching the epic movie "Das Boot". But
3.5 hours is a bit too long for one sitting, so I've divided it up into 3
evenings.

If you haven't seen it, highly recommended movie about the claustrophobic
setting in a WW2 nazi submarine and all the pressures a submarine has to
live through in a war.

Would be interesting to hear from our Navy-people if the movie comes close
at all to depict the horrors of submarine warfare, or if it is far off the
mark.

It's an amazing movie! I think it wonderfully catches the claustrophobic
feeling of being stuck in a metal tube with the risk of getting crushed to
death.

I also enjoy that it's not a fairweather movie, but that we'll see the
captain himself struggle with his ethics, opinion about the nazi leaders
and their strategy, and how to handle his mistakes.

Indeed yes, it totally washed off any geopolitical presumptions, even in
a scene like this:

He went a tad too far, then recovered it by the awkward grace of being
totally lit.

Exactly. And that critique is then revisited later on in the movie. But I
also find it refreshing that in a german movie, nazis are allowed to be
the tragic "heros" in a way and not just the regular bad guys. That's
another thing I like about it. They are portrayed as humans, despite being
nazis.

live.  What will you be having for supper tonight?  Any
special plans?
I've prepared a giant pot of vegetable beef soup and
will dig in when it's done and that should be in about
an hour.  Twas a busy day here; I'm pooped and starving.

Fried chicken.  I picked up a to-go box at a nearby gas station.
They inject the chicken with hot sauce so it tastes nice and spicy.
I'm probably going to watch 'Village of the Damned'(1960) on TCM.
That was a fun, creepy old movie.

After finishing Babylon Berlin, I decided to continue with the
german theme. Therefore I am currently wathching the epic movie
"Das Boot". But 3.5 hours is a bit too long for one sitting, so
I've divided it up into 3 evenings.
If you haven't seen it, highly recommended movie about the
claustrophobic setting in a WW2 nazi submarine and all the
pressures a submarine has to live through in a war.
Would be interesting to hear from our Navy-people if the movie
comes close at all to depict the horrors of submarine warfare, or
if it is far off the mark.

The Captain's role in that film was well-written and acted.
http://youtu.be/T-D6e3pjHKQ

It's an amazing movie! I think it wonderfully catches the
claustrophobic feeling of being stuck in a metal tube with the risk
of getting crushed to death.
I also enjoy that it's not a fairweather movie, but that we'll see
the captain himself struggle with his ethics, opinion about the nazi
leaders and their strategy, and how to handle his mistakes.

Indeed yes, it totally washed off any geopolitical presumptions, even
http://youtu.be/J1nP5gy48Dc
He went a tad too far, then recovered it by the awkward grace of being
totally lit.

Exactly. And that critique is then revisited later on in the movie. But
I also find it refreshing that in a german movie, nazis are allowed to
be the tragic "heros" in a way and not just the regular bad guys. That's
another thing I like about it. They are portrayed as humans, despite
being nazis.

And really they were, these were not hardened SS or prison guards.

War is immutable sadness always.

This is very much the truth!

Two good books on a similar themes are:

1. Unknown soldier (Finland against Russia)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unknown_Soldier_(novel)

2. All Quiet on the Western Front (Germany WW1)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Quiet_on_the_Western_Front

Both highly recommended!

They recently made a movie based on Unknown solider, but haven't seen it
myself. I do expect to be disappointed though.

Otherwise, it's a wonderful car. The movie appears to be an ad for Alfa

It was less Grand Prix than most wanted at the time, but not an
unwatchable film.

Alfettas was best looking wedge shape to that date, those yellow
headlights really scream 70s eurospec.

I already had the beautiful woman. If it was just the woman, my choices
of cars would have been greatly expanded. There was also a boy so we
needed a car with decent back seating. The Alfetta GTV fit that
requirement.

My parents had a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that had a back seat that was
just an awful place to be. You don't ever want to find yourself in that
predicament. The seat cushion needed to be shortened to allow you to
shoehorn a couple of legs back there. You had to sit diagonally on the
seat to fit those legs. The high back of the front seats made the back
passengers feel like trapped rats. The very large door panels were made
from a single piece of vacuum formed ABS, as were the backs of the front
seats. The panels had a pebble texture to them. I bashed my face into
the seat back when my dad made a quick stop. That was like hitting
coarse sandpaper. One never forgets the first time they do a face-plant
on pebbled ABS. I can still feel that burn on my face to this day.

One of the cleaner body and interior styles made.

However, a "wrapped wheel" means the underlying wheel is crap - oh how
that old plastic loves to crack.

And wtf is up with Noo Yawk, too old for a title, sold on registration only?

Yeah, like I want my DMV sorting that kind of action out when it's time
to title it...pass...

That 273 is an odd bird, must be a commando style 318, heh, heh...

https://discover.hubpages.com/autos/Mopar273

"In 1966, a limited-edition racing version of the 273 called the Super
Commando was offered. The Super Commando was equipped with steel tube
headers, a 700 cfm Holley 4-barrel carburetor, a high lift mechanical
camshaft, and made 275 HP. Production of the 273 spanned 6 years,
lasting through the 1969 model year. The low-end version was replaced by
the Mopar 318, while high output versions were replaced by the Mopar 340.


Who In Their Right Mind Would Build a Mopar 273?

Fuel Economy. Since the Mopar 273 is the smallest member of the Chrysler
LA family, it also has the best fuel economy potential. The 318 has an
excellent reputation for fuel economy, and since the 273 is 14% smaller,
it should be able to get even better fuel economy than the 318. If you
try this, I'd recommend replacing the stock 273 heads with late-model
318 high swirl ("308") heads."

The only thing I know about that movie is that he drives an Alfetta GTV.
That's a car I used to own. That was not a good experience for me!
Otherwise, it's a wonderful car. The movie appears to be an ad for
Alfa Romeo.

Did the car bring you many beautiful women?

I already had the beautiful woman. If it was just the woman, my choices
of cars would have been greatly expanded. There was also a boy so we
needed a car with decent back seating. The Alfetta GTV fit that
requirement.
My parents had a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that had a back seat that was
just an awful place to be. You don't ever want to find yourself in that
predicament. The seat cushion needed to be shortened to allow you to
shoehorn a couple of legs back there. You had to sit diagonally on the
seat to fit those legs. The high back of the front seats made the back
passengers feel like trapped rats. The very large door panels were made
from a single piece of vacuum formed ABS, as were the backs of the front
seats. The panels had a pebble texture to them. I bashed my face into
the seat back when my dad made a quick stop. That was like hitting
coarse sandpaper. One never forgets the first time they do a face-plant
on pebbled ABS. I can still feel that burn on my face to this day.

I had a 67 Barracuda. It was just wonderful. It was a notchback instead
of the fastback. "Notchback" is a funny word. The back seat was just
fine and dandy. 273 engine. Woo Hoo.

Commando was offered. The Super Commando was equipped with steel tube
headers, a 700 cfm Holley 4-barrel carburetor, a high lift mechanical
camshaft, and made 275 HP. Production of the 273 spanned 6 years,
lasting through the 1969 model year. The low-end version was replaced by

Real men (like arnold palmer) drove cars with the giant Chrysler 440
wedge engine, or else the larger hemi engines (383 minimum). This way,
their car's engine was in tune with their large penises. They didn't
care a whit about fuel economy because there's always another oil well
that can be drilled, and real men have plenty of dollars to buy fuel, no
matter how much it costs. It's the same today.

None of these real men would even piss on a 318, much less something
even smaller. That would be more shameful than trump having a goddamn
Volkswagen limousine, or a little Cessna airplane. Shameful. Just shameful.

Trump's tool may be 80 years old, and slightly wrinkled, but I bet it's
as big and stiff as it was 60 years ago.

1993 Dodge Power Ram 150 pickup has 432 miles (title reads exempt) and
is powered by a 5.9-liter Magnum 8-cylinder engine producing 245hp and
330 ft/lbs of torque. The engine is paired with a 4-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive, 4-wheel-drive and a dual-range transfer case.

I sold the 1970 Barracuda in the early 80's. My mom's car had the 318

Yep... if you don't let it go, basically the enemy won, since they
invaded your mind and are still fighting to this day. Greece for
instance, are very affected by this, still whining about germany having
to pay damages.

No question, in fact it has become a fresh scar tissue for decades now,
inspires films as well.

This is the truth! I think it is time for the world to let go, and start
the healing process!

As if turning them into a rape camp for Allah isn't final punishment enough,
sheesh!!!

But frankly it's time to let it all go and realize that both nations are
doormat states to muzzis now.

True!

Go figure, they scraped up the Morrocans, not the Libyans and less
desirable nations' exports.
Home state of the godless EU - a telling hypocrisy.

Oh my... moroccans... in sweden they specialize on robbing people near
train stations. Morocco of course refused to accept any moroccans sent
home, so stupid and naive sweden probably stuck them all in homes, all
paid for by the state, as a reward for their robbing.

And these are the ones from tat caliphate one might consider (and rightly
so) to be civilized, sigh...

Yes! I can't blame the Moroccan king though. He must be happy sending
the barbarians to another country and focusing in tourism instead. ;)

North Africa's Maduro he is then.
No hand removal for scumbags in Morocco sadly, it would make them easier to
ID on entry.

Touché!!

Exactly. And that critique is then revisited later on in the movie. But I
also find it refreshing that in a german movie, nazis are allowed to be
the tragic "heros" in a way and not just the regular bad guys. That's
another thing I like about it. They are portrayed as humans, despite being
nazis.

This scene always gets me.

What gets me is that war seems to be the only time we truly come together.

After finishing Babylon Berlin, I decided to continue with the german
theme. Therefore I am currently wathching the epic movie "Das Boot". But
3.5 hours is a bit too long for one sitting, so I've divided it up into
3 evenings.
If you haven't seen it, highly recommended movie about the
claustrophobic
setting in a WW2 nazi submarine and all the pressures a submarine has to
live through in a war.
Would be interesting to hear from our Navy-people if the movie comes close
at all to depict the horrors of submarine warfare, or if it is far off
the mark.

I've been aboard this boat. As a practical matter most submarine movies
show the inside of subs as being more spacious than they are. What
struck me about the inside is that the flooring was green linoleum -
something like you'd see in your grandpa's house.

I don't know how in earth they get sailors to volunteer for submarine
service. I can't imagine a worse way to spend a couple months than on an
underwater voyage. It would be even worse in warfare. What a horrible
way to go.

I wonder which military service experiences the most comfortable deaths on

That's interesting. Maybe they should just take it out and leave it out
of the water. Yes, there's a lot of nice metal onboard. The surprising
thing is that the deck is made of wood. The slats are spaced so that
water just drains through it. You can see the main body of the sub
between the slats. The body of the sub is a simple cylinder. My guess is
that the sub would go faster underwater without all that decking.

Indeed it would, but your first answer is the best one - I'd support dry
dock elevated so we can appreciate the design and side chines and so on.

They're really quite lovely designs, for instruments of war.

Actually I saw one in central Stockholm once. There was some kind of Nato
operation, and they parked about 15 boats (including one submarine) in the
city center.

We've been watching "Bluestone 42" and I've been thinking about

And occasionally the soundtrack overrides the speech even on the

Never seen Trollhunter and the Dragon Tattoo, but I will add them to the

For a somewhat unique take on a vampire movie I recommend Let the Right

your vampire ways, it might not be for you.

As a bonus you get to see a very nice depiction of depressing suburb life

I've prepared a giant pot of vegetable beef soup and
will dig in when it's done and that should be in about
an hour.  Twas a busy day here; I'm pooped and starving.

Fried chicken. I picked up a to-go box at a nearby gas station.
They inject the chicken with hot sauce so it tastes nice and spicy.
I'm probably going to watch 'Village of the Damned'(1960) on TCM.
That was a fun, creepy old movie.

I'm probably going to watch 'Village of the Damned'(1960) on
TCM. That was a fun, creepy old movie.

After finishing Babylon Berlin, I decided to continue with the
german theme. Therefore I am currently wathching the epic movie
"Das Boot". But 3.5 hours is a bit too long for one sitting, so
I've divided it up into 3 evenings.
If you haven't seen it, highly recommended movie about the
claustrophobic setting in a WW2 nazi submarine and all the
pressures a submarine has to live through in a war.
Would be interesting to hear from our Navy-people if the movie
comes close at all to depict the horrors of submarine warfare, or
if it is far off the mark.

I'm surface Navy as was Don. I know a little, but not much.

So based on what you do know, what's it like on a submarine? How bad
does it smell? And is it true that they generally select little
people to serve on submarines due to the cramped space?

They do have a height limit and some guys who enter at 18 are still
getting taller, so fall astray of it and have to shift to surface Navy.

Is there a lot of animosity between surface navy and the guys "under the
sea"?

Beautiful fall day here and I hope it's as nice where you
live.  What will you be having for supper tonight?  Any
special plans?
I've prepared a giant pot of vegetable beef soup and
will dig in when it's done and that should be in about
an hour.  Twas a busy day here; I'm pooped and starving.

Fried chicken. I picked up a to-go box at a nearby gas station.

Oh, and another question! In the movie the submarine crew live in constant
fear of destroyers and sink bombs. Once a submarine is spotted by a
destroyer, is it generally "game over" or is it an even fight?

I think it's an even match, if the destroyer can catch them.

Depth charges will even things up some.

During WW II the Germans had a total of 1162 Uboats. Of those 785 were
sunk. Ships and aircraft sank pretty close to the same number each. The
Japanese had 174 submarines and lost 128.

It would be pretty nasty to be assaulted with depth charges. The
concussion from the explosions underwater would be devastating.

We had BBQeed hamburgers. Mine had a chunk of blue cheeese stuffed
inside and my wife's had cheddar. They were dressed up with deli
mustard, sweet pickle relish, sliced tomato and onion, and radishes and
spiced olives on the side.

I'm two days late. We had beef tenderloin, soupy mashed potatoes
(oops!) and canned green beans. Last night we had country fried steak
with homemade biscuits and gravy, and tonight will be salmon patties and
fried potatoes. My wife made the biscuits and is making the entire dinner
tonight.
As usual, when posting to rfc, I'm high-carbing it with some "St. Louis
Magic Liquid" and will eat later. ;)
It all reheats well, and I will do the leftover dishes. I promise.

Last night was a complete break from our normal.
Using big slices of the 'looked like a bunny while cooling' bread, we
did a sort of grilled cheese and beef (thin cut from the deli). Had
French fries (air fryer) with it.
Ran mustard about the beef (a spicy grainy brown).

Ah, another near vegetarian dinner by cshenkie.
