I bought a 2019 Corolla, the Camry’s cheaper cousin, for the same reason. Hoping it lasts til 200,000 miles with no issues. 300K would be fantastic. Last Toyota I had was a Tacoma and it made it to 270K buy replaced the transmission twice 😭
Been a while since I’ve seen it but a movie called “A Day Without A Mexican” where rich assholes and middle class white people lose their nannies and field workers picking their food. I believe it was a dark comedy but like I said been a number of years since I saw it…
I think I need to watch that movie a second and third time. The first I wasn’t expecting the journey from a little guy finding success movie trope to literally being an insane bad guy, with a fucking brilliantly nuanced acting job by DDL. All of the layers went right over my head until the closing credits like…… oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Super interesting too visiting the oil exhibit at the Kern County museum…knowing that PT visited it developing the ideas…and seeing the modern day oil fields, pipelines and smog everywhere around the San Joaquin valley now.
I literally grew up there and never thought much about it. I need to watch it again.
Same, Roger’s point of view on movies usually was pretty close to mine. I feel like I have good taste and I enjoy challenging, artsy movies that critics praise. But sometimes there are movies like Moulin Rouge you just enjoy even if it isn’t critically defensible. Roger would go for things like that where Gene seemed more like a hard nosed snobby type. I realized at some point it Roger raved about a movie I was likely to enjoy it.
