I am a movie fanatic no matter the genre. Although I love the classic cowboy movies I got the most comedic joy out of movies such as Gene Wilder’s “Blazing Saddles.” Or a sci-fi cowboy perspective in the movie “Cowboys and Aliens.” These two movies also show how you take a classic dusty western and polish it up into a shiny new twist. There are too many movies to name that do hit on the cultural disparities of the west with trying to show diversity among the cowboys.

I first tasted young jackfruit when I was working at Candlenut. While familiar with the highly perfumed ripe fruit, I hardly encountered it in its unripe form. We had a supplier who would bring us produce from Tekka market, and it arrived from the market as uniformly cut, white chunks.

(Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spoilers to follow) “It’s the day in the life of a man sort of going not only through an emotional breakdown and a transition in his career, but a realization that time has sort of passed him by, that culture has passed him by.” — Leonardo DiCaprio on Rick Dalton. “It’s official, old buddy. I’m a has-been.” — Rick Dalton on Rick Dalton. I can’t imagine Leonardo DiCaprio was capable of relating to the plight of Rick Dalton.

Hello! Hello! When I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, there weren’t as many flavors of ice cream as there are now, but we seemed to be able to get ice cream just about anywhere. There were candy stores that sold newspapers, comic books, cigarettes, cigars and candy, and lots of them had “soda fountains,” counters where you could get ice cream scooped into cones, cups, sodas, shakes and sundaes.

Will Emily Monson be the only Boilermaker to depart the program? The freshman from Murfreesboro, Tenn., entered her name into the transfer portal on Wednesday, according to a source. She didn’t play meaningful minutes during her freshman season. Monson was part of coach Katie Gearlds’ highly regarded recruiting class, which featured Mary Ashley Stevenson, Rashunda Jones and Sophie Swanson. The trio played significant minutes this past season as the Boilermakers started building a foundation for the future.

A regular feature for paid Watch List subscribers: I suggest one reasonably under-the-radar movie from the recent or distant past, and you do what you want with that information. Lingua Franca (2019, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐, streaming on Netflix, Tubi) – Transgender actress Isabel Sandoval (above) is a quietly charismatic triple threat as the writer-director-star of this drama set in the Russian enclave of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Sandoval plays Olivia, an undocumented Filipina immigrant caring for the elderly Olga (Lynn Cohen) and attracted against her better instincts to Olga’s grandson Alex (Eamon Farren), a kindhearted screw-up trying to stay sober and put his life back on track.

A regular feature for paid Watch List subscribers: I suggest one reasonably under-the-radar movie from the recent or distant past new movie, and you do what you want with that information. David Fincher’s “The Killer” (⭐ ⭐ ⭐) seems specifically conceived to discombobulate the brain of the average viewer. Simply put, it appears to be a not-so-hot example of one thing, when it is in fact a much more interesting example of another thing.

But even I know about Caitlin Clark. My interest in this groundbreaking player has been extremely limited — until I read two very different items related to her this week. The first one is a letter, published two weeks ago in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, which quickly went viral. The le… ncG1vNJzZmiZna6xqq%2FKoqWsp55jwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89opqedXZy8sLCMrZ%2BippdigaJ%2F
