"No, we can't get grapes," Nathaniel says in the produce aisle, putting the bunch of grapes back where they came from. "Susan says we're boycotting them." "Why?" "Farm workers are striking in California." "Does that include wine?" Patrick asks. "It can't," Nathaniel says, alarmed. He and Maria have been drinking a bottle of Burgundy that one of the doctors at work gave her. "French grapes are fine," he decides. "They have unions." Patrick gives him an if you say so look that Nathaniel chooses to ignore. They get bananas.

There is a drinking game associated with the film. The game consists of keeping up, drink for drink, with each alcoholic substance consumed by Withnail over the course of the film. All told, Withnail is shown drinking roughly 9½ glasses of red wine, one-half imperial pint (280 ml) of cider, one shot of lighter fluid (vinegar or overproof rum are common substitutes), 2½ measures of gin, six glasses of sherry, thirteen drams of Scotch whisky and ½ pint of ale.

ESPN 30 for 30: What if he knew geography?
Your review ⭐️ Oct 1, 2025 (SBTB Summer Bingo: turned into a movie or TV show. Could work for character who works in audio.) Was going to go for two stars, but random Yoko Ono slander on the last few pages, so fuck that. I did not like or feel sympathetic for a single character in this book except Isabelle, Solene's daughter. Solene is a self-absorbed asshole who knows from the beginning that hooking up with Hayes will traumatize her daughter, but doesn't tell her to her face and lets her find out accidentally, and STILL continues fucking this guy and gallivanting all over the world to visit him, and it's not too much until Solene starts getting harassed, no matter what her daughter has been going through. I hate to be like "you are a mom," but YOU ARE A MOM. She has more sympathy for whatever that random girl in the hallway has been through than what she's put her daughter through, and it's extremely off-putting.
Headline: “The Idea of You” Author Robinne Lee Didn't Love the Movie Subhed: Her first book - and the subsequent film adaptation — were misunderstood as just romance. Now, Lee is back with a novel that defies the genre.

But Carlitos is the consummate good boy. For an hour afterward I remained in shock, as if I'd witnessed some kind of natural disaster at a remove. My colleague Patrick Redford, watching at home, said it was like watching a puppy smoke a cigarette. With his four smashes, Alcaraz shattered an enduring image of professional happiness.
I was reminded once again about the bell curve of sports commentary. High-decibel talk-show shmucks say it's all about who wants it more; middlebrow commentators like myself try to offer sober technical analyses; transcendent athletic geniuses say it's all about who wants it more.
