Great HBO documentary on the wrestling legend. 300 travel days a year around the world sounds absolutely exhausting.
I wonder if he would have lived longer if his gigantism was treated.
I do know he made a lot of people smile. And that he was just undeniably big.
And I know I liked him as a kid.
I hope with Bill Simmons as executive producer HBO makes more great documentaries like this. Simmons and his team did a great job with the 30 for 30 series on ESPN.
With that name I guess it makes sense I saw someone smoking a joint as I came in.
Place is just massive and loud.
Beer garden with inside and outside seating. Around 50 taps, a pizza and sausage place. And lots of people.
It’s nearby so I think I will check it out again.
It’s fun to just read a romance novel. It is especially good to read between calls at work. And you usually know they will survive their minor peril and live happily ever after. Sometimes with sexy results.
There is a reason they are so popular. Not everything needs to be highfalutin.
I’ve been reading a little about Grenada thought after finishing Audre Lorde’s “Sister Outsider.” The book came out in 1984 a year after the invasion. I think her mom is from Grenada. And the last piece of the book said that things were going better before the invasion. She also suggests that the Prime Minister may have been assassinated with US or CIA help. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time.
It’s now 35 years after the invasion and you have to wonder why we were there. And also why we didn’t give aid.
Seems like more colonizing by.the United States. The long history of US and CIA involvement to remove democratically elected leftists for right wing autocrats is absolutely awful.
Here is an interesting Truth Out piece about Grenada. http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/19551-us-invasion-of-grenada-a-30-year-retrospective
We need to help people, not bomb and occupy their country.
I saw a post from my friend Allie Munier on Facebook about 4 movies that define me.
As usual I want to do more.
I have a Three Good Things Post that usually averages around 10-12.
Those are the five I put in my Facebook post. (Actually skipped Empire at first but it didn’t seem right)
There is other stuff I could think about like Young Frankenstein, Dr. Strangelove, Rear Window, Vertigo and Intolerance but I think those five work.
