Anyone watching? We have a lot of international users.

I'll root for the home team. Also Spain (considering moving there and need to get a jump on the national obsession), Haiti (friends), South Africa (for Trevor), Scotland (for Alex). Not sure if Claws cares about Germany. Anyone else?

"I Built You A Tower" by Death Cab for Cutie

My brother wants me to like Death Cab but I'm not feeling it.

Summer School aka Mag Wheels (1977) - This isn't the Mark Harmon one. If you liked "The Van" (1977) I would definitely recommend this. I sort of liked "The Van" for it's authentic, slice of life portrayal of more innocent days gone by and yadda yadda, but it was more of a time capsule than a movie. This one is written and directed by Bethel Buckalew who directed Sassy Sue and other Something Weird delights. It's more hard drive-in than grindhouse, though.

The "hot new girl in town" immediately p**ses off the lead cool guy's girlfriend and basically starts World War 3 in this ridiculous California beach town. It's a lot of pranks, rivalries, and guy- girl drama occasionally broken up by kids hooking up and smoking pot together. I liked the footage of the skate park and also the gang of lesbians who show up and save the main girl all the time. "Aww man, they're lezzies".

It was seemingly designed to be the opener on a summer drive-in bill and it succeeds at that. As an actual movie, it's a bit of a chore to get through, though. They are in the titular school for about one minute at the very end.

I'll go 3.75 /5

As a background movie, it would be higher.

Stella Artois isn't really considered upscale here, but it is one of the few European beers found relatively frequently out in restaurants. Beer snobs turn their noses up at it, but I actually don't think it's that bad--certainly not in Belgium's top beers by a longshot, but at least it's better than Heineken (which used to be omnipresent here but has thankfully disappeared).
