The Cozy Corner

I just couldn't get into it. I wanted to like it but it never did it for me.

Red Dead Redemption games. Brilliant western stories in those.

I remember you talking about replaying those.

 

[Nylonian]

Yeah, one of my favorites will always be pale rider.

Don't think I've ever seen that.

 

[Orwellian69]

I remember you talking about replaying those.

Yeah on my Steam Deck. Well, the first one. Have got the second lined up after. A real pleasure to replay them.

Line of Fire
Kelly's Heroes
Where Eagles Dare
Escape From Alcatraz
Heartbreak Ridge
Million Dollar Baby

and then all the Westerns.

Some good films. Where eagles dare is great.

Alcatraz well worth a visit so you can get a sense of how big and bleak the place is and just how strong the water currents are.
Only Sean Connery has ever escaped from there

Bond film, don't care what anyone says.

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Absolute Power with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Laura Liney and Ed Harris is pretty underrated.

Also Grand Torino

Bond film, don't care what anyone says.

One of the best Bonds. Daniel Craig in Casino Royale was also sexy AF.

Anyone else never watched a Bond film? Or just me?

I’ve never seen one all the way through

I've seen every single one.

When I was an English major the joke was to make sure you learn how to say “do you want fries with that?”

I was a philosophy major, so I can argue why you want fries with that

Line of Fire
Kelly's Heroes
Where Eagles Dare
Escape From Alcatraz
Heartbreak Ridge
Million Dollar Baby

and then all the Westerns.

Will I break your heart if I say I’ve never seen any of these?

My heart is intact, worry not!

 

[Nylonian]

I've seen every single one.

Same. In COVID I had a Bond catalogue marathon. One of the easiest marathons I've ever done.

 

[Orwellian69]

I've got them all on blu ray. Love them.

 

[Gone_and_Back]

All these Clint Eastwood posts and not one mention of Every Which Way But Loose? The only Clint buddy movies where he has more lines than the buddy are that and the sequel, Any Which Way You Can. In the Line of Fire is a personal favorite too, Clint at his crusty best!

 

[rick_j21]

That’s funny

 

[RDM97756]

I own all of them.

 

[Gone_and_Back]

I've seen every single one.

Has anyone made a short parody where the bad guy shoots him in the head right as he introduces himself?

Bond, James Bo.." BOOM dead.

English with a minor in journalism. Going for my MA in English in the fall

Outstanding! A bunch of my good friends from College were all English majors and they got me to take a few classes in upper level English. I still have my Norton's Anthology of English Literature.
I was a double major in American and European history with a minor in Economics.

Jarring change of topic but I wanted to tell a story from bouldering last night.

For a bit of context, two of the people in my bouldering group grew close and recently got into a romantic relationship. They are 25 and 26, the age sorta matters for this story I promise. They're so happy, mature and stable so far and the group is very happy for them. We love celebrating their love.

Being the cheesy and romantic people they are, they planned a midnight picnic on a small island to celebrate their 6 month mark (I know right). They almost had to stay on the island because they were close to missing the last ferry! The kicker is that, the girl showed up to bouldering with hickies ALL over her neck so the class definitely knew what happened during that picnic and why they almost missed the ferry.

"I take it the picnic went well then?"

-

Ah, young love, you love to see it. What's Cozy's thoughts on hickies? IMO, I wouldn't want one as it wouldn't look very professional on Zoom but the idea of one sounds pretty sexy; being marked by someone. Do you still give/receive hickies? My last one was like... 2019?

 

[NakedStoryLover]

Lunch: hamburger on a bun, Lays potato chips, vanilla sandwich cookies and cornbread.

Tomorrow is my last day to eat as I’m headed to the hospital on Thursday for “a procedure”.

Good luck, Carly

Ooh exciting. All the best with your MA.

I’m not a fan… I’ve only ever had one, I think, and I remember it hurting. Not a good kind of pain

One of my exs loooved giving them. I guess it's that idea of marking again. I don't mind the pain, but it kinda looks a bit tacky when you're a bit older and in a professional setting, IMHO. Maybe a mark in a place that I can cover...

Correct! Its a rite of passage maybe when you are in middle or high school but past that seems odd.
