RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper


just watched trainwreck. was kind of one. amy schumer wasnt bad but she wasnt great either. and it was just too long and tonally inconsistent. probably a lot of that is apatows fault. theres some funny and some poignant moments but it just felt flat. her tv show is so much more interesting as is her stand up. although she did crib a scene from a joke straight out her last stand up special which was weak.

grantland is all in on tom cruise this week. im dipping my toe into an oral history on the comedic turn he took as les grossman in tropic thunder.

tonight at 8 on tcm:

Described by the New York Times as "a master of movies about the American idiom...one of our most original filmmakers," Les Blank (1935-2013) was a Florida-born documentary filmmaker best remembered for his poetic studies of American musical traditions. But, as reflected in this TCM salute, Blank's idiosyncratic films and short subjects covered a wide range of subjects including Cajun culture in the U.S. (Spend It All, 1971): black Creole life (Dry Wood, 1973); the city of New Orleans (Always for Pleasure, 1978); cooking (Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers, 1980); and the polka and its devotees (In Heaven There Is No Beer?, 1984). Of the 11 Blank films shown in our tribute, no less than eight are TCM premieres!

monday is funday at the british open as the second round was suspended due to high winds so play was extended. for the first time since the 1920s an amateur sits atop the leaderboard tied with two other players while golfs newest star, jordan speith, sits one stroke back as he attempts to win a third straight major. its a crowded leaderboard as 13 players are within 3 strokes of the top.

finally on board with the netflix animated show bojack horseman and just in time for season two. takes a few episodes before it shifts into gear but worth the effort.

the spammer algorithm has finally decided to send me j-date spam instead of christian mingle. little do they know that i am a self hating jew. maybe the "j" stands for jihadi. id click through to find out but i suspect id end up on the nsa's spam list, too, and they are the worst. you do not want to know what lengths they go to for penis enlargements.
