I like the Jimmy Dean sausage, egg, and cheese croissant.

For health food, the Jimmy Dean sausage, egg, and cheese on an English muffin works!

Yes I indeed watched Apocalypse Now for the first time last night.

I am still thinking about it. Movies about Vietnam are difficult for me to watch. A lot of guys from my generation have much different lives than they would have had otherwise.....if at all....so I don't like to be reminded of it.

This is turning out to be a really major story of Broadway about this year's Tony winning Best Musical.

"‘Maybe Happy Ending’ Casting Change Ignites Debate About Representation
When the show said Andrew Barth Feldman, a white actor, would replace Darren Criss, who is of Filipino descent, alarms were sounded by some Asian American actors."

The State Fair starts today - as does the local Old Settler Fair.

Local TV hosts of movies and cartoons always used to broadcast from the fair including Miss Frances Farmer who looked a bit out of place talking to 4H and FFA winners of blue ribbons for goats, cows, and hogs.

Miss Frances died 55 years ago today on August 1, 1970.

Sending vibes for your play, Jrand.

I see Elizabeth McGovern is starring in a play about Ava Gardner.

I'm no Vietnam movie fanatic, to be sure, but my interest in this one definitely grew over the years. Another I was kind of interested in was Oliver Stone's Platoon, but I actually remember very little of that now.

I don’t know what kind of time I will have this weekend.

Saw Apocalypse Now in the theaters. I try to see all of Coppola’s movies on the big screen, but I admit I have missed a few. I have the DVD on my to-watch table. Maybe soon.

I have a coupon that is expiring tomorrow - so I may have Burger King for lunch today.

DR JANE & Co in Astoria.

Jrand - Have you tried the Burger King burger with brisket?

Delicious! It doesn't taste like fast food at all.

Here’s an amusing call to the Jimmy Dean organization about their sausage.

Now I'm in the mood for a McDonald's sausage with something sandwich. But they switched the menu to lunch already.

I saw Apocalypse Now on its opening night in 1979. I didn't like it much, and I was particularly offended with the footage of the slaughtered bull. It was actually being butchered while I knew full well Marlon Brando's head wasn't actually flying off his body.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #53 on:** August 01, 2025, 08:23:47 AM »

LOL DR FREDDIE no coupon for that but it does look good.

DR RODZINSKI I'm the magazine would have flown off the shelf!

I'm wondering, can we get to page 3 before noon (Eastern time)?

Freddie · « **Reply #58 on:** August 01, 2025, 08:51:39 AM »

It seems like it could be easy enough.

It's worth a try
