I live in Athens GA and I like movies and barbecue.
Pinned
Galactic greetings to all new Bluesky users! I’m Grant, I live in Athens, Georgia, and I like Athens, Georgia, Doctor Who, and fun old movies, particularly the ones with Christopher Lee, samurai, spies, or giant monsters. And barbecue. I like barbecue even more than you do.
My son asked “Why does this town have places called Athentic, Athica, and Atheneum? It’s confusing.”

I replied that I have no idea and promptly drove to the wrong damn place for a holiday market, proving his point. Anyway, here are some soup dumplings that we had for supper.

Without wishing to spoil things, I'll just say that I'm sure I share all of Fire-Breathing Dimetrodon Time readers' pleasure and satisfaction at seeing this beloved location returning to television again this weekend. #iykyk #easteregg

Lunch today at the new BurgerFi outlet on Baxter. The falafel slider is pretty good.

You can all stop looking for the most Athens, GA 1991 photo ever taken, I’ve found it.

The way that these posters on my @letterboxd.social watchlist lined up makes me smile. It looks like And Now the Screaming Starts is ripping down the bottom of the poster above it!

I sincerely love this for her.
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

About once a year, I order the Grill’s feta dressing, once amazing and, these days, emphatically not, hoping it’s as good as it once was and leaving disappointed. I’ll still stand by this excellent pepper supreme burger, but I guess I should accept the feta I loved isn’t coming back.

If you enjoy my food writing, you know I love Calvin Trillin’s story of the fellow who’d stop at Kresge’s for a chili dog on his way to lunch. Inspired, we took a walk this morning, then stopped by Billy Meadows for a chili dog on the way to lunch. #BBQ #athensga

Happy anniversary to the Max Headroom incident, the greatest example of signal hijacking.

I expect that as a Republican member of a school board, Teresa Crosslin is probably a terrible person, but “Fuck you, make me” was indeed the correct response to these moral scolds in Clarksville.
⚡️UPDATE — CLARKSVILLE, TN: Republican school board member Teresa Crosslin now acknowledges her appearance on GIGOLOS (a fully nude sex scene), and WITHDRAWS her resignation from the school board which she had submitted 1 week after being appointed 1.

A Doctor Who sad realization: in "The Power of the Doctor" both Tegan & Ace see their versions of the Doctor as older holographic projections.

Which means, Tegan & Ace both probably think their Doctors lived nice long lives before regenerating.

A 3-way for lunch at the Hi-Lo this afternoon. They don’t normally use quite this much cheese, but I’m glad they did!

Our friend Marilyn, who we haven’t seen in ages, was in town and we took her to Maepole for lunch. Tonight, we’re at Preacher Green’s and this might be the planet’s absolute best chicken sandwich.

I guess one advantage to Flashback not showing any old movies that I want to watch for the rest of the year is that we won’t have to see the godawful trailer for that godawful Cat in the Hat movie until 2026.

Farewell to a titan! We just watched Ran yesterday morning, and that is one hell of a performance.
RIP Tatsuya Nakadai

One of the best to ever do it. An expert at being a wild-eyed, haunted weirdo.

To celebrate Richard Burton’s centenary, I’m watching BOOM! today. It’s beginning as bonkers as I’ve read.

Happy to announce my availability for the post of BBC Director-General.

I know you expect “More Doctor Who” to be part of my manifesto, but no, it’s simply this: when trolls insist the BBC not be mean to Trump / Farage, my response will be: “Fuck you, make me.” This will make the BBC 200% better.
