📽️ Tommy Boy (1995)

This is my favorite Chris Farley movie. It’s classic Chris Farley. The bumbling idiot with a heart of gold ends up figuring everything out and saving the day. It’s basically the same plot as Beverly Hills Ninja and Black Sheep, just with different scenarios and characters. Of all those mentioned though, I think Tommy Boy is the best one. It’s genuinely funny, pretty much from start to finish; but the actual story is good, too. My family and I quote this movie all the time because there are so many great one-liners. It’s definitely worth the watch.

Sex/nudity: 3/10 (some innuendos, woman in bikini, woman skinny dipping at night with a brief flash of frontal nudity)

Language: 2/10 (no f-words, milder strong language throughout)

Violence: 1/10 (punching, hitting, beating up played for laughs)

Overall rating: 8/10

Currently reading "Loveless"

I think I've gathered like 3 scenes that made me believe Georgia Warr and Neil Josten could relate to each other. Or be friends.

(Probably not bc of Neil's attitude problem and everything that happened in the trilogy being a little bit too much for the osemanverse but-)

So look:

Georgia:

"I'm fine," I said. If I was a doll, that would be one of my pre-recorded phrases.

Neil:

"I'm fine." Neil lied.

I remember this exact line being on the first book while he's on the phone with Matt. According to a tiktok comment Neil says "I'm fine" 32 times through the trilogy.

Georgia:

R- Georgia. We are friends.

G- oh

Neil:

(...)Thanks for taking one for the team, Neil. You're a real friend." (...) "Are we?" he asked, because hadn't Betsy said it just a few days ago? (..) Realizing Nicky couldn't follow his twisting train of thought, Neil forced himself to say, "Friends?" (...) "You are going to be the absolute death of me," Nicky said. "Yeah, kid. We're friends. You're stuck with us, like it or not."

Plus:

Georgia:

so as it turns out, I am aromantic asexual

Neil:

"I don't swing either way," Neil said.

I don't know if it's because I'm obsessed with aftg or not but I can see some similarities 🤣😭

Georgia and Neil can bond over not understanding sexual attraction till Andrew walks in and Neil keeps looking at the color the sun makes his eyes look like or something

Richard: Will you shut the window, Tommy? You're letting moths in.

Tommy: No, it's hot in here.

Richard: Will you please...

Tommy: Look, it's him!

Ray: America, if you need starters, spark plugs, ball joints, gaskets, camshafts, u-joints, or rocker-arms, anything that can be screwed or glued to that car or truck of yours? See ol' Ray! Do you want a guarantee? I got a guarantee stamped on every box.

Tommy: He's got really weird hair.

Ray: But more important is the guarantee that I make to the American worker. I want your truck to help you get the job done. I want your cruiser to get out there safely, so you can clean up the streets. And I want your kids to be safe when you take them for a ride. I do it for li children like him The name's Zalinsky. I make car parts for the American working man because that's who I am. And that's who I care about.

People on screen:(singing) ♪ Drive down to Zalinsky. He's the auto parts king. ♪

Honestly who do you think Billy’s fictional crushes are?

So we have the "I sort of want to be him but I'd also ride him" Category with Tyler Durden, J.D from the heathers, and Michael Myers, we have the "He's so fucking dumb" with Dan Cain and Ron Grady, we have the "I want to watch him kill people" with Jason and Axel Palmer, and finally we have "he's played by Farley Granger" with Guy Haines from strangers on a train and Phillip Morgan from Rope.

#Billy: hahah he's so hot I want to stick a knife in him #and also Billy: shit he's so hot he can stick a knife in me #and thats on being a switch #He's got a thing for blondes #he's got a thing for morons #he's got a thing for knives #but you knew that already #ask

JUST vis a vis turtle iterations interacting in their own styles i was gonna say oh long tradition of that, the 09 crossover movie. BUT THEN I REMEMBERED AN EARLIER ONE

[ID: Two page comic spread of Mirage TMNT, filled with many of the side characters: superheros, aliens, mutants, robots and more. With the turtles and Splinter at the center. The characters are all drawn by the various mirage staff and "friends" artists, including each turtle. Mike is by Jim Lawson, the city at war era style with blocky beaks. Leo is by A.C Farley, very stocky, wide head, very large shiny eyes. Leo has his mask around his neck too. Raph is by Dan Berger, a more horror creature look, with dark shadows by the eyes and a menacing smile with so many teeth showing. Don is by Ryan Brown, a solid, rounded shapes turtle. The toning on all, likely by Eric Talbot, gives them midtone skin, with lighter coloured chins. END ID]

GAH, okay. ya anyway this was in the mirage 50 making it like. 90s. 93? JUST THINK ITS NEAT.

#some shit #SRY FOR. delayed then extravagant response. and the ping. had to track this down. thought i had it saved I DID NOT.#but i love it so much ehhehe #PLS IGNORE THAT ONE WOMAN. mr dooney is a whole can of worms #i love fugitoid (the robots) thumbs up. Goofy (positive)#okayyyyy

By: Sami Edge

Published: Oct 19, 2023

Oregon high school students won’t have to prove basic mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate from high school until at least 2029, the state Board of Education decided unanimously on Thursday, extending the pause on the controversial graduation requirement that began in 2020.

The vote went against the desires of dozens of Oregonians who submitted public comments insisting the standards should be reinstated, including former Republican gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan. Backlash against the lowered standard had already delayed the vote, originally slated to take place in September.

Opponents argued that pausing the requirement devalues an Oregon diploma. Giving students with low academic skills extra instruction in writing and math, which most high schools did in response to the graduation rules, helped them, they have argued.

But leaders at the Oregon Department of Education and members of the state school board said requiring all students to pass one of several standardized tests or create an in-depth assignment their teacher judged as meeting state standards was a harmful hurdle for historically marginalized students, a misuse of state tests and did not translate to meaningful improvements in students’ post high school success.

Higher rates of students of color, students learning English as a second language and students with disabilities ended up having to take intensive senior-year writing and math classes to prove they deserved a diploma. That denied those students the opportunity to take an elective, despite the lack of evidence the extra academic work helped them in the workplace or at college, they said.

Board members underscored that state-mandated standardized tests will still be administered to most Oregon high school students – they just won’t be used to determine whether a student has the skills necessary to graduate.

“We haven’t suspended any sort of assessments,” state board member Vicky López Sánchez, a dean at Portland Community College, said during Thursday’s meeting. “The only thing we are suspending is the inappropriate use of how those assessments were being used. I think that really is in the best interest of Oregon students.”

Oregon lawmakers, however, have mandated that families be told each year that they can opt their student out of taking state tests – and one third of high school juniors didn’t take the tests last spring, meaning they and their families don’t necessarily know how they measure up against statewide academic standards.

Proving mastery of reading, writing and math on one of many standardized tests or a teacher-judged in-depth assignment was one of several Oregon graduation requirements. Students also have to earn a prescribed number of credits and complete an education plan that maps out how they can achieve post high-school goals.

During the pandemic, Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill freezing the proficiency requirement, as standardized tests weren’t happening amid school closures. Lawmakers decided to order a more comprehensive review of graduation requirements.

After broad outreach to families, educators, students and employers, with a particular focus on people of color, the Oregon Department of Education recommended new graduation recommendations about a year ago. One of those was to scrap the requirement to show mastery of reading, writing and math. State lawmakers have not acted on that recommendation, and the department in the meantime asked the state board to continue its pause through at least the 2027-28 school year.

Speaking of the academic mastery requirements, Dan Farley, assistant superintendent of research and data for the department, told the state board Thursday, “They did not work. What they were designed to do is protect student interests. We have no evidence that they did that.”

Farley pointed to a 2021 analysis by Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission that found no clear evidence that implementing the proficiency standards improved the performance of Oregon high school graduates during their first year of community college or university classes. The report did not study all possible postsecondary outcomes, Farley told the commission, and the state could do further research on that point.

The report also notes that it’s possible that the level of skill required to meet Oregon’s since-paused academic mastery standards was “too low to improve college and university outcomes.” It’s also possible, the report said, that student success in college relies more heavily on other factors than writing or math skill levels.

Suspending the requirement at least until the class of 2029 gives the state more time to do community outreach about how best to overhaul the grad standards, Farley said, and gives future high school students plenty of time to prepare if this standard does resume.

Hundreds of people submitted written comments to board members about the requirement for students to demonstrate academic mastery, the vast majority in favor of keeping it. Many of those critical emails used the same stock language.

Drazan, a former member of the Legislature, wrote that she had opposed the 2021 bill that suspended the requirement in the first place. Oregon doesn’t need to decrease standards, she wrote, but create and act on a concrete plan to increase students’ academic achievement.

“The board failed to discuss their responsibility for lagging academic achievement in our state. Instead they cast the blame on a tool used to measure a student’s ability to read, write and do math,” Drazan said in a news release sent after the vote. “It’s disappointing that these unelected bureaucrats decided to ignore public comment and continue down a path that neglects their responsibility to help students meet high standards.”

Whitney Grubbs, executive director for Foundations for a Better Oregon, a coalition of Oregon-based nonprofits that advocates for educational equity among other school reforms, wrote in public testimony that pausing or ending graduation requirements without proposing more effective and equitable alternatives “risks leading Oregonians to believe that our state is lowering expectations to artificially mask disparities” and reinforces false and prejudiced ideas that students’ demographics dictate their academic success.

“As Oregonians, we hold high expectations for students because we believe in the boundless potential of children,” Grubbs’ testimony said. “...We urge state leaders to articulate a plan for holding Oregon’s education system accountable for demonstrating whether and how it is supporting all students to meet graduation requirements.”

Album Review: Mudhoney “Plastic Eternity”

Seattle’s Mudhoney are now like elder statesmen of alt-rock! The band formed in 1988 and their sound was highly influential on what came to be known as Grunge. The band’s song “Touch Me I’m Sick” was referenced in Cameron Crowe’s Seattle-set film Singles, with the fictional band Citizen Dick’s song “Touch Me I’m Dick”. The band members intersect with several other WA bands of that era: Singer/guitarist Mark Arm and guitarist Steve Turner had previously been in Green River (read my album review of their 2019 reissue here) with Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard, later of Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam. Longtime drummer Dan Peters was briefly in Nirvana in 1990. The band’s contribution to Singles “Overblown” was a crazy surf rock punk stomper of their response to Seattle’s popularity. Unlike many of Mudhoney’s peers, the band never had a big huge hit on radio or MTV, but they got serious respect from musicians and from critics. I never got heavy into Mudhoney, but I always dug their stuff. The fact that they are named after Russ Meyer’s 1965 cult film Mudhoney got my attention. The band’s song “Acetone” is one of my favorites of the 90s after it was featured in the 1996 college comedy Glory Daze. The band had some pop culture moments like when they appeared in the Chris Farley / David Spade movie Black Sheep! After some time on a major label in the 90s, they returned to Sub Pop and are still on the label today. In Oct. 2019, I saw them in concert at Brighton Music Hall and they rocked (read my review here). This week Sub Pop is releasing the band’s eleventh studio album Plastic Eternity.

album cover

Much of this album is about trying to make sense of a world gone crazy. It’s not just the Pandemic, even though the band had some time to prep these songs during lockdown. It’s Mark Arm’s sharp and funny lyrics about the craziness he’s observing. Case in point, “Cry Me an Atmospheric River” about climate change and asking what it would be like if the climate could play like Hendrix.

Mudhoney live at Brighton Music Hall on 10/5/2019

I can’t say this album blew me away in the way that, say, Pearl Jam’s Gigaton truly felt like their best album in over 1.5 decades. But it is a fun album. The more you listen, the more the album gets better. Dan Peters is someone I’ve always had deep respect for, going back to his brief time in Nirvana in 1990 just before Dave Grohl joined. “Sliver” is definitely one of the 25 Best Nirvana Songs Ever and his playing in Mudhoney has always been an anchoring point. While there might not be a “Touch Me I’m Sick” or “Suck You Dry” level of a banger here, there are some fun tracks.

3 out of 5 stars

The type of dude I'm attracted to is generally just "was relevant 30+ years before I was born"

Dan Aykroyd, Gene Wilder, Christopher Lloyd, Chris Farley, George Harrison. All born decades before me and most died before I was even old enough to remember.
