I live in Athens GA and I like movies and barbecue.

Galactic greetings to all new Bluesky users! I’m Grant, I live in Athens, Georgia, and I like Athens, Georgia, Doctor Who, and fun old movies, particularly the ones with Christopher Lee, samurai, spies, or giant monsters. And barbecue. I like barbecue even more than you do.

The world has been so weird and awful lately that this seems like something from a bright and wonderful, much better parallel universe: there is a Rogue Trooper movie. A real Rogue Trooper movie. It actually, honestly exists and people are watching it right now.
Living vicariously through texted pics of the Rogue Trooper screening. 💔

Athens has an “alternative” FM station, 93.3, which I suspect is programmed in Indianapolis or Poughkeepsie or someplace not Athens. Today’s “alternative” hit: “Broken Wings” by Mister Mister.

Marie and I lucked into a partially kid-free evening and grabbed supper at Taqueria del Sol. The special tonight is tilapia with delicious green chile rice in a tomato sauce.

ATHENS! My pal @drewweing.bsky.social asked the community to help our city’s Daily Groceries Co-Op, putting his money where his mouth is and joining their board. The deli makes really good sandwiches and salsa from fresh, tasty ingredients and it’s worth a visit. I think we’ll be regulars! #athensga

I don’t read other people’s Letterboxd reviews until after I’ve posted my own, but I was so amused to see so many outraged romantics writing about “Letter from an Unknown Woman” that Louis Jourdan’s character completely forgot about Joan Fontaine’s. How, they ask, could he possibly?! Well… 1/2

I just found out about a second site where my contact info is linked to a restaurant to which I have no connection. This restaurant has had more than fifteen years to correct this. I am just about to claim this page and cause mischief.

Watching Classic Doctor Who and I think modern UNIT tends to treat The Doctor too much like a celeb. UNIT deals with aliens every day, The Doctor appearing should be no different to their average Wednesday
I much prefer 70s UNIT where they're constantly just like 'this fuckin' guy; I swear to God.'

On the way home tonight, I got behind a pickup whose license plate was my initials and my age. Seriously, this truck has my name on it.
I think I should go live on an island without any roads on it until my next birthday, just to be safe.

So, hear me out on this, I want my taxpayer dollars going to feeding, hungry people, educating kids, and building better roads. I have no desire to buy Donald Trump an island, & last time I checked, the power of the purse, still belonged to Congress.
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent administration threats against Greenland didn’t signal an imminent invasion and that the goal is to buy the island from Denmark, according to people familiar with the discussions."

There is still time for David Letterman and Tom Baker to be cast as George Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell in a film about their animosity.

I set myself the challenge of watching everything on Sight and Sound’s 2022 best-of list, 264 films, and I’m tackling the long ones - 5-20 hours each - one a month this year. Jean-Luc Godard’s 8-part Histoire(s) du Cinema is this month’s. It is a challenge, to put it mildly. 1/2

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
