Liver & onions was bad, cube steak was bad (though I have a recipe for it from Cook’s Country—RIP—w/a compounded butter that’s actually good).
But the worst was pork chops & kidney beans: just what it sounds, cooked in an electric skillet, with an onion. Horrible stuff, that.
I am almost three weeks into a kitchen remodel and I would give my left tit to be able to make a tuna noodle casserole right now (but I love it, and will even eat it the leftovers cold, so…)
Came here to say this
The joy of showing movies to a movie-loving 20 year old is right up there. We did Deliverance a few weeks ago, and that was a blast.
This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
I regret to inform you all that this guy’s husband has done it again, and it makes me so anxious:

Maybe one of the movies I obsessed over in high school (thanks, HBO):
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Ragtime
Local Hero
An American Werewolf in London
How would I feel about them if I saw them for the first time now?
I rewatched Peggy Sue a few years ago and it sure hits different when you’re middle aged than it did when you’re twenty.
I have made it to February in my DVR!
Oops, I own it now.
A two-fer: Estelle Parsons as Bev, and Shelley Winters and Nana Mary on Roseanne
All of this makes me feel as if I’m starring in a 1976 movie that has only 162 @letterboxd.social reviews.
My friend Billy Preston
My new friend Robert Palmer
Every year, I like to pick a music artist and dip into their entire catalog, especially the early stuff. Last year, it was Billy Preston and (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees) Kool and the Gang; currently, it’s 70s Robert Palmer.
John Glover is the best!
Off topic, I went to IMDb to see who was playing the main baddie: have you all seen Philip Michael Thomas’s chosen profile picture on there? Because that was a CHOICE.
Famous in our house ever after for my husband leaning over to me in the theater and saying “that’s John Doe” when John Doe appeared onscreen (I knew). This has been our mansplaining in joke since 1997.
I have been on a PTA kick lately, and it has been way way way too long since I’ve watched this.
I’m older than George Gobel. His wife has on her best fur.
Bill Bixby: hot
Suzanne Pleshette looks like Sarah Sherman
Yes, I watched all 18 minutes of this
That was 18 minutes of pure entertainment
I’m remodeling my kitchen and haven’t been able to cook anything for two weeks and I have reached the point where eating takeout and whatnot is not fun anymore (I cook 99% of the time), and I emailed this to my work inbox so I could print it out on Monday. I wanna make this so bad.
Oliver Reed hello. One of my problematic favorites.
William Holden
#10 Breezy (1973) also not great, although I love cardigan Bill, and Paul Thomas Anderson named this as an inspo for Licorice Pizza.
Audrey Hepburn and William Holden
#9 Paris When It Sizzles (1964) not great, but these two are beautiful, and they totally banged.
William Holden
#8 The Wild Bunch (1969)
William Holden and Robert Mitchum. The bread for one sexy sandwich.
#7 Rachel and the Stranger (1948) a personal favorite. If I was ever going to write porny fan fiction about a movie, it would be this one. WH is a stuffy widower who gets mail order bride Loretta Young. Old pal Robert Mitchum comes to visit their cabin and sparks fly.
William Holden, very tan
#6 Bridge on The River Kwai (1957) maybe he shaved his chest because it was too steamy. This is a great movie for lying on the sofa on a weekend afternoon.
Audrey Hepburn and William Holden
#5 Sabrina (1954) although he and Bogart are both too old to be wooing Audrey Hepburn, it’s still a great movie, and Holden makes a charming cad.
William Holden
#4 Stalag 17 (1953)
William Holden
#3 Network (1976) (still would)
