TIL Paramount studio set three conditions for the casting of Marlon Brando in The Godfather: He would have to take a fee below what he usually received; he would have to agree to accept financial responsibility for any production delays his behavior cost; and he had to submit to a screen test.

Nice! My first McCartney album was Wings Across America a few years later.
Ram for me. Fuck I'm old.
Kids and old people. Vulnerable populations.
Eric Burton is full of stories that place him at the epicenter of coolness in the 60s.
Saw him at a dive bar in the 80s. Got the coolest t-shirt. Front said Eric Burton Band. Back said Fuck me, I thought he was dead.

I guarantee you this is what most medium- low income students see in their cafeteria
I was the Chef/Culinary Trainer for a Title I Public School District ....11 ES/4 MS/3 HS. Over half of our students qualified for free or reduced meals.
What does recycling and composting have to do with this? Makes me doubt your entire comment.
Tied in with our sustainability and school garden projects. We were kicking around a grey water reclaim system for irrigation but it got too complicated.
You never heard of Humble Pie?
The good stuff.
Season two of The Wire

I disagree, I think he is AMAZING in Apocalypse Now. Sure, lighting and writing is great, but there's something so ominous and forceful about his portrayal, I love seeing it.
The was he'd jerk his head to the side .. fantastic acting.
If drinking was an Olympic sport, Richard Harris would not have been allowed to compete.
Wow. I hear his son Jared in his voice. I love that he talks about O'Toole and Burton. Supposedly the making of "Beckett" was pure hedonism.
We had a bunch of them when I lived in Chapel Hill. Nice folks. When they finally got evicted from my kid wound up dragging home the store sign.
that was an interesting read, thank you for that
They ran an awesome prison literacy program. Nice folks.
Went to Georgetown, D.C., to see it. It was magical!
Key Theater gang rise up!
Key Theater!!
My days were '79/'80ish. Still in touch with a bunch of folks from back then.
15' square needlepoint Stark Carpet for $100 at a moving sale.
Every morning the thought crosses my mind. Sigh.
Barbarians kept destroying the other copies.
Fair point.
Honestly what is mildlyinteresting to me is seeing someone post from Beaufort NC!
I live in Canada now but we'd regularly roadtrip down from Raleigh just for an order of Clawson's onion rings.
There is a wonderful book called "The Faithful Executioner" that delves deep into the meticulous records kept by a professional executioner in now Germany during the same period.
Have to find a deli that keeps beef frozen for slicing. That’s how we got it in upstate NY. Might be hard to come by in the plains though, you’re right.
I buy beef for hotpot. Super thinly sliced and makes killer cheesesteaks.

The one that got me .. "Men are afraid women will reject them; women are afraid men will kill them."
Mikes was crap- bought terrible quality seafood and sold at a premium. Costco actually has some great frozen options- Canadian haddock, Alaskan salmon, east coast scallops, sustainably sourced Tuna, etc
I'm from a salty water area and been cheffing for 30 years. The downtown Metro's seafood counter is legit.
I have a particularly gnarly fungal big toe nail. I'd have whipped that bad boy out in a heartbeat.
Hot Sour soup
Chef is responsible for everything BOH.
Loved my ‘82 Catalina 25 until hurricane Ian. Great boat, enjoy!
I miss mine!
"My childhood memories reek of booze and cigarettes."
Hairspray for me. When we smelled it we knew we were gonna get a babysitter.
Sigh. My once popular name is now an insult.
Heard.
I mean it's crazy how Big Dishwasher has a stranglehold on the water flow of these dishwashers.
Miele has a pinpoint light that shines on the floor so you know it's running.
The Abominable from Rudolph. That rat bastard
My nan had a massive sofa jammed up against the wall. The first time I saw Abdominal come over that mountain I managed to fit behind it.
Well, The Poseidon Adventure freaked me the fk out when the ship was upside-down. The person falling through the glass/light window and the girl having to jump down from the bolted table, upside-down toilets . . . All bothered me a lot.
I have no idea why my dad took me to see it when I was 9. I'm STILL freaked out by ballroom chandeliers.
