Watching Le Tour again.
Four days ago, Tadej Pogacar came out of nowhere to establish a five minute lead over the field. Most of the commentators seemed to assume that the race was over and Pogacar had it won.
Two days ago, Ben OâConnor smashed the field and closed most of the gap to Pogacar.
Yesterday was a flat sprint stage, so no change there for the GC standings. But today is a mountain stage with an HC climb near the end. Expecting an epic duel between Pogacar and OâConnor towards the summit of Mont Ventoux.
Should be a good night, if I manage to avoid dozing off halfway through. The finish is likely to be at 3am or so in local time.

Made it to the finish line intactâŚwhich is better than many of the riders managed.
OâConnor cracked a few kilometres short of the summit; he didnât completely collapse, but he had no chance of keeping up with the leaders after that. At the end, heâd dropped about four minutes off Pogacar, who retains the yellow.
Rigoberto Uran moves into second, but heâs five minutes behind Pogacar. Unless something dramatic happens, Pogacar seems likely to hold his lead all the way to Paris.

Been a long time since I last saw it, finally got it added to my collection.

Oh yesâŚthe musicâŚthe first Oscar for Best Picture that was awarded to a female producer (I recommend very highly Ms. Phillipsâ memoir, âYouâll Never Eat Lunch in this Town Againâ). Harold Gould (swoon!). The costumes.
Was there ANYthing in this film to offend anyone? Except rich people, maybe?
âThe EntertainerââŚScott Joplinâs work, brought to light by Marvin Hamlisch; I wasnât up there with the clarinet yet, just learning, so I didnât get to play it in the school band, but I do remember whoever did, did a great job for a 7th or 8th grader.

Wasnât sure I should put this in the NF101 thread or not. I guess the olâ nostalgia for my preteen years is kicking in - anything to do with the 1970s gets my attention, as I wanna know what I missed when I was a kid. Anywho, this is based on the investigative tome by Gail Sheehy that was published in 1971:
What the sex workers are wearing in this film are what is stylish for everyday wear today. HA! And I had platforms almost as tall as the ones that Ms. Clayburghâs wearing at the beginning of the film - when I was in middle-school. Gack.
Todd Rundgren is in charge of the music, FWIW. At least for the first episode Iâm on s1e3, and itâs been Al Kooper and some other person for those two.

Grabbed Breakfast at the Motel today where it was an actual sit down restaurant.
The three TVs over the bar were playing:
-
Some PBS yoga channel that kept glitching and pixelating
-
Old Yeller (?!) and this TV had the sound on
-
What I determined was Thomas and the Magic Railroad but would have called âThomas the Tank Engine Goes to Hellâ A very surreal experience to watch out of the corner of my eye.

Note the change in the narration; does he sound more or less like Morgan Freeman in the owl episode, lol?

Who here saw âSilence of the Lambsâ?
Who remembers the man who played âBuffalo Billâ?
Welp, he is in nearly all of the episodes Iâve watched so far of âCrime Storyâ as Frank Holman; thatâs one more reason to watch the show.
He does go on stage, too; the episode Iâm watching now has âFrank Holman and the Holmanettesâ:
BTW, this has its own Universe, itâs like ours only warped a bit.

2/ Female gaze. Yes.
3/ Fun story
4/ Premise of personalities changing w the brains being eaten makes for a lot of hilarious acting set ups.

Good fun for two or three seasons, then they tried to get serious with a grimmer story arc and things went downhill fast.

We are in season 4 now. We like the broader narrative and itâs still fun to see the outrageous characters and setups. It definitely is a shift but it makes sense that a virus would spread quickly. It feels a little deja vu pandemic.

Iâm re-watching this episode because itâs great. And I think it takes place in a mirror universe, but their time runs later than ours sometimes; the Frances Gary Powers incident took place in 1960, whereas this is sometime after that, judging from the autos and the cars.
And Ted âBuffalo Billâ Levine is in it!
And if Ivan had married Fawna, wouldnât he automatically have US citizenship?
Yes, I somehow made it this long without seeing this one. No, I have no idea how I survived in the cave sealed off from the rest of the world all these years. 
I wasnât able to go in entirely spoiler free, of course. But, I still was mostly in the dark aside from knowing the very general plot in advance, and it kept me on my toes. And, boy, do those practical effects still hold up pretty well.
