Obviously Seinfeld is NOT going to get ‘it’ wrong — & how can you fail with him acting & DIRECTING this movie.

It, indubitably, is incredibly CLEVER. Wow. There is an episode that satirizes ‘January 6’ & ‘Mike Pence’ that is so, so, brillant. Not sure how many will get it.

‘I have read some books about ‘Battle Creek‘, Michigan, & as such had some vague familiarity with the cereal wars & in particular “Kellogg’s” (in days gone by).’I have read some books about ‘Battle Creek‘, Michigan, & as such had some vague familiarity with the cereal wars & in particular ‘Kelloggs’ (in days gone by).

I can’t stress how CLEVER this movie is. It is also a hoot.

But, it, IMO it is satire gone wild. Maybe that was the whole point. Over the top satire — & who better to do that than the past mater Seinfeld. However, I couldn’t help but thinking that it was ‘stupid’ — but in a very nice way.

It is definitely enjoyable — though towards the end you can’t wait for it to end. You should give it a spin. I am sure you will enjoy it — or at least large chunks of it. Look out for the ‘January 6’ spoof.

I remember this. I was 16 — in school in London. Yes, I bought the boxed set. I thought I might still have it. Alas, NO. There was a time in the early 1980s when I owned upwards of 600 LPs. Now I have about 40 — which I never play, though I have a cheap record player.

Enjoy.

A NEW ‘The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church’ Website To Augment The ‘Miranda’ Site.

The invaluable ‘Salvador Miranda’ Cardinals website went dark a year ago.

Last time we heard from dear Salvador — June 28, 2023.
Last time he updated the Website — May 8, 2023.

Click to ENLARGE. To access THE ‘Cardinals’ Website (link).

While I have NO intention of trying to emulate ALL that dear Salvador did, I do want to try and maintain an ACCURATE record of the CHANGES to the College.

Salvador’s website will EVER remain good for everything
UP TO 2023.

What I will do is maintain a list (in the form of one of my famed ‘magic’ Excel spreadsheets) of all the changes — i.e., creations, deaths, aging outs & expulsions — as of Jan. 1, 2023. So, this is the start.

The spreadsheet is done. It has some HIDDEN columns. Plus, I plan to add a few more. No point maintaining a magic Guruge spreadsheet IF I don’t milk as much data as I can. I will calculate days between changes, days between deaths, obituary demographic, etc.

This is still a work in progress. Unlike dear Salvador I have other interests, other projects, other commitments …. But, please give me time. I will slowly improve on what we have. IF you can HELP, please let me know. Thanks.

This is in memory of my friend Salvador.

I dedicated my 2020, encyclopedic, 518-page ‘The Conclave‘ book to Salvador.

I am glad I did. He was chuffed.
