OUT OF SIGHT is a good holiday film, but also one of the sexiest, most romantic films since 1990, with only other Soderbergh and PT Anderson films coming anywhere close Soderbergh is just a good director who does almost everything really, really well, but PT Anderson is maybe the only director in Hollywood who actually understands — or at least who accurately portrays — real love.

Josh Hawley's toxic populism and the dark future of the GOP:

reason.com/2021/03/06/jos…

My cover story for the March issue of @reason Hawley probably won't be the next president, or even the GOP nominee. But his does tell us something about the past, present, and likely future of the Republican party.

Yup yup. RELOADED is a bit of a mess, but that pair of sequences remains incredible. FURY ROAD is the only action movie of the last 20 years to match the RELOADED freeway sequence. I watched RELOADED three times in theaters on opening night/day and have zero regrets. I still use it as a home theater test sequence. Semi-truck slow-mo-smash-as-Neo-flies-in-for-a-Morpheus-reeling-into-the-air-rescue kills me every time, to this day.

Love Jungle Birds? Had too many Jungle Birds and want to upgrade?

Put coffee in your Jungle Bird:

cocktailswithsuderman.substack.com/p/tuesday-happ… Coffee is not a mainstay of the Trader Vic/Beachcomber ethos. You won't find a whole lot of coffee drinks in your Ancient Secrets of Tiki guidebook. But like Campari, it works shockingly well with rum, pineapple, sugar, lime.

Biden is giving a speech tonight.

It will probably be bland and generically uplifting.

It will announce some economic policy initiatives that reporters have already previewed because Biden has a competent comms team, and that policy people will disagree about. I should not be so excited/relieved by this.

"I was wrong. As I get older, I realize that a martini is clearly superior. I find myself making more of them these days..." Reminds me that one of my favorite DC bars, before barmageddon, used to list a bunch of Martini variations. You could get a 50/50, a house (2:1) -- all fine and good, but also they offered an Embury (7:1).

One of the things I love about single barrel whiskey is you never know quite what you're going to get. Barrel to barrel, proofs are different, flavor profiles are shown in different balance. It's like watching the same actor, but in a different role. That's even more true with selected barrels. I've been lucky enough to pick up a couple of Beast Masters Club barrel picks over the past few months, and...oh man.

It's fall.

It's dark at 6 p.m.

It's below 65 degrees.

It's election week.

You need a drink. Traditionally, this is Manhattan season. Far be it for me to disagree with tradition. A well-made Manhattan is a good drink any time of year, and even better at the onset of fall.

But what if you've had a lot of Manhattans? What if, somehow, you just don't want a Manhattan?

WhistlePig isn't quite the best rye I've ever had, and it's slightly too pricey, but it might be the most flawless and consistent. Hard to think of another rye that better defines the upper end of the category. As rye goes: Redemption is medicinal. Old Forester is fine but has a funky aftertaste. Sagamore is genuinely interesting but better in theory than in concept. Bulleit and Dickel are workhorses. Old Overholt is the best $18 you'll ever spend, but not exactly a fancy sipper.
