This is going to be a long post about the Bears.  But if this current staff "manages" to lead them to the worst record in the NFL for the second straight year, they can't be brought back at all.  Pro teams sell hope and you aint selling shit if you are bringing those guys back to ruin their new NFL QB.  Look it may not be Fields fault but he's going to be gone unless he shows major improvement in the next 14 games.

The bigger problem with the Bears ownership is simple: they just haven't picked the right GM's and coaches in the past 10-15 years or so.  They can be as half assed owners as they want as long as the team keeps on winning.  They haven't won because the guys picking the groceries/and cooking them have sucked.  They passed on Mahomes in 2017 for Mitch Trubisky.  That aint on ownership.  I have no idea whether or not the new GM has an idea what he's doing (I'm leery given some of the bad moves he's already made).  But if he doesn't it'd be best if they hired an established GM who has won before, just to steady the ship and run it like an NFL team.

As far as the coach goes, hire an offensive guy, preferribly from the SF and Rams tree since it's a high success rate.  No more defensive HC who like to lean on the run and play tough defense (aka meatheads).  For better or worse, it's video game football and you have to score points at this point and have a guy who can design an offense/scheme and offensive playmakers.

Doherty's problems were that she was really difficult to deal with.

LA Confidential:  seen this one a few times.  First off, great adaptation from the novel.  I've never realized how great some of the acting was in this film.  I totally missed how Cromwell nails the role of Dudley Smith.  Ditto Spacey (even though it's not popular now) as the glory hound cop , Jack Vincennes.  Heck, I even missed how great Russell Crowe was here as Bud White.  When you  rewatch stuff you end up having different favorite characters.  The kicker is that one of the least interesting acting roles--Kim Basinger--ends up winning an Oscar for best supporting actress.  Go figure.

Rosemary's Baby.  I'm conflicted on this.  I was bored in parts of this and really liked some of the set pieces.  It's not really a horror thriller.   It's a psychological thriller with a message on female independence/feminism.  There's nothing wrong with this film, other than it was too long and there were a bunch of dead spots.

Long's problem is she was in the wrong decade.  If she leaves Cheers in the 90s, she probably has a bigger career.  TV actors/actresses leaving shows to pursue movies was more accepted in the 90s.  And she would have had more movie roles to pick from, just in terms of the 90s landscape.  She could have probably had a hit or two playing a neurotic/off kilter female.   This is just a really long way of saying the 90s were a bit creative than the 80s.

On that last point, yeah that's one of the benefits (or perils) of growing old, depending on your perspective.

I'll be honest I have no expectations for this song.  I don't mean this negatively.  But it's just a song.  So I won't go apeshit if it's grand, bad or somewhere in between.

If it lives up to the hype, I'll be a bit sad that they didn't release it sooner or Axl wasted a bunch of his years not releasing music.

This is the appropriate answer.  If you're a hardcore fan, you've probably already ordered Perhaps and Appetite on Vinyl anyway.  Really it's not even a product that was neccesary.  Just a cash grab.
