“Like others, I really do not like Tarantino. The gratuitous violence is lazy filmmaking in my opinion, although I guess it has worked for him.”
Best thing I read on the internet all day, courtesy of JP.
Lyrka did very well against a strong champion today
Is Nick related to Karen Arciero who was on back on July 14, 2005?
I’d forgotten all about that fun song, VJ, thanks so much for reminding me!
Yeah, Rhonda, it is a fun song. It’s one of a bunch of songs that my kids were astonished to find out I already knew. Another was Bohemian Rhapsody.
@VJ is there a misspelling of Istanbul after the name of The Four Lads written over the video? I see “Istambul.” Perhaps my eyes are playing tricks on me.
Rhonda, I remember that song too. Our age is showing.
There is, Jacob. Whoever made the video apparently hit the M key instead of the N when typing the title and didn’t notice it till later. Still, it’s the best live performance by the Four Lads I found on YouTube so I used it anyway.
@VJ thanks.
I didn’t like the first Daily Double clue. It makes sense when you see the answer, but I thought the wording in the clue was too vague to point to the correct response. But maybe I’m just being a poor sport because I didn’t figure it out.
Oh, I don’t think you’re being a poor sport. I was wondering how the clue writers figured the players ought to know that.
Well it was interesting to learn of its origin, nonetheless.
Those daily doubles were not so nice to nick today. Also I was wondering if this FJ clue today is sort of a combination of Ancient civilization/Western Civilization sort of category? Glad that two people got final right. A good start to the week for Kelly as I am definitely hoping he can end this streak of leader curses and get a fourth win.
As Richard Corliss says, darn those daily doubles.
