Sorry. Didn't mean to confuse things. The movie doesn't take place in Ireland, I simply commented that I love that kind of music (see trailer above) and it's what I love about Ireland, direct access to that music. The movie is based on a short story, I believe the filmmaker wrote the short story.

Yes. How often does a movie actually handle a scene better than the book? Not often. I don't have it at hand, but my recollection is that In the short story Jack's mom is at most not especially rude to Ennis. In the movie, as you pointed out, she's actually warm*. It's a bit of an uplift, something the story could use at that point. *20 years ago discussing this with a friend, I pointed out how more meaningful was the wordless exchange between Ennis and Mom when he shows her the shirt and she nods, compared to the short story wherein he steals it. My friend postulated something I never would have thought of, in the movie, in a way, she sent him up there to find it. Beautiful.

Wow! Thank you :-)

It's one of the things I love most about Irish towns and cities. You can just walk into a pub, and listen to that kind of beautiful music from beautiful men and women for as long as you like. Leave, and go to another. Two strong actors. I look forward to this movie.

Always thought he had a sexy body and I loved his nose and enthusiasm. What a dumb way to die.

Though played largely for laughs, the gay sex in this movie is much more graphic than most movies. The straight sex is graphic too, but that's not unusual.

"angles wrong"? 20 years later, is it time to quit 'Brokeback Mountain'? WWW.NPR.ORG Back in 2005, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal captured lust shading into love, and love decaying into heartbreak. The movie got a lot of things right — but...

I hope you are able to enjoy is as a movie, even if it ends up not being what you hoped, if that makes sense? You'll just have to see it, Twinless is well made and funny and often sad. To me, documentary "Three Identical Strangers" is the best "Twin" movie. I was quite close to someone involved in data acquisition for the study.

Sorry to hear that, sucks. The NYtimes review said stop reading "here" if you don't want a spoiler, so I stopped.

Quite good with some really dark jokes, keep an eye out for The Giving Tree book cover reimagining.

Though it applies to the topic of this thread, meeting people, that's on the "what can this dog do for me" side of the column and that doesn't seem like a good reason to get one.

My great Grandma lived to be 104 and retained most of her marbles through 102, then they scattered quickly. Were I able to do the centenarian decathlon, I'd be happy to live that long. (I hate that Dr. Peter Attia starts out this video rubbing his eye. Don't rub your fucking eye. A doctor friend of mine was rubbing his eye the other day after touching several things, including my hand. I said, don't rub your fucking eye, you know better. Of course, everyone* rubs their eyes but everyone should also work harder to not do so *I've never seen my partner rub his eyes without first washing his hands, not once in 28 years. He's infuriating).

Not to repeat myself, but there are many reasons not to get a dog and if the primary reason to do so is that occasionally it might make you feel better, you probably shouldn't.

Nearly all my adult friends came to me through sports or escorting. Recently, client-friends died one after the other. Also, as I age, one by one I will shed the sports, and presumably the associated-friends, I enjoy.

You noticed that too :-)

Are the sentences in his letters as Jaw-dropping as in his work?

I heard good things (about the twist) in Barbarian, but never saw it. Wasn't planning on seeing Weapons, and now I won't, thank you. I don't want to see Barbarian, I'm kinda sick of horror movies. But, I'm curious about the twist, it's supposed to be clever (I think it's mid-movie). Manhattan, if you have a second could you DM me the twist in Barbarian? Thanks!

As an escort, I have to admit that I was always (a bit) disappointed when penetration was not on the table (desk, floor, or chair.)

My messages to clients about parking on my street were detailed, off-putting, and necessary.

As a masseur I was (am?) skeptical of Massage Guns, without really looking into them. Recently, Dad hurt himself doing something very very dumb. I saw him recently, someone had suggested one of those Guns, he's been using it and is much better. It's impossible to know if time or time and the gun healed him, but he swears by it. He demo'd it on my arm. It is strong.

SO much better than I would have expected. Quite a funny movie, and there aren't many comedies anymore.

When I was in my late 20s I had two separate consecutive overnight appointments with two separate Nephrologists at the same conference at the beautiful Del Coronado Resort. God, remember those days when Doctor conferences were at the most ridiculous resorts in the most ridiculous places and everyone just signed in in the morning and spent the rest of the day skiing, or golfing, or fucking?

I never charged more. I knew many others who didn't as well. Also, it is absolutely understandable to charge more.

Watched that the other day. Looks amazing. It is very pricey. Nevertheless, I might see it in the fall, it's been a long time since I visited Vegas. https://www.ticketmaster.com/the-wizard-of-oz-at-sphere-tickets/artist/3552227
