stevegoz Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 In episode 1 of the new American version of House of Cards (streaming on Netflix), Kevin Spacey's character offers a fellow congressman with some substance abuse issues a nice neat pour of Blanton's by name....

squire Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks for the reference Steve, just clicked and saved it on Netfiix. First ten minutes of the first program looks like a promising adaptation of the brilliant British series of the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPBoston Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Watching the 80's Charles Bronson flic, "10 to Midnight"... and the bad-guy pours a bottle of Early Times whisky into a toilet. At least he did one good deed for society.:bis: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'd say that's just bad manners, he could've used vodka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPBoston Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'd say that's just bad manners, he could've used vodka. Well, he did previously use one shot of it to (apparently) knock out a hooker. Maybe I missed something while I was concentrating on the whisky bottle, but at face value... hard to imagine a shot of 80 proof juice putting a 'pro' to sleep.

stiffchainey Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I sure know Lynyrd Skynyrd sang about Old Grand Dad in there song "Whiskey Rock n' Roller", but I guess I read the Bond thing a while ago, somewhere in the net!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Spent part of Groundhog Day watching Bill Murray in "Groundhog's Day". There is a scene where Murray is in the B&B living room in his pj's with other guests watching "Jeapordy". He answers a question before Trebek gets 2 words of the clue out, then reaches over and takes a swig from a fifth of Beam Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyjd75 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Is that what that mystery bottle is? I couldn't quite ID it.Yep, that is what he's been pouring lately. Recognized the bottle a couple of weeks ago and thought about posting, but held off. Good observation!! Love AAA 10 yr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegoz Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The brown liquor appears again, in I believe what is episode 8 of House of Cards, as Kevin Spacey and three old chums from his military college days (the imaginatively named "The Sentinel"), already drunk, proceed to down two bottles of Maker's Mark that they purloin from the bar at closing time.

smokinjoe Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Just finished watching "Grownups", and noticed a scene where David Spade's drunken character is drining "Old Crow" from the bottle. BTW, here's is Wiki's report of it's Critical Reception:The film was heavily panned by critics; review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 9% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 161 reviews, with an average score of 3.3/10, and its consensus states that "Grown Ups' cast of comedy vets is amiable, but they're let up by poor direction and the scattershot, lowbrow humor of a stunted script."[7] Metacritic awarded the film an average score of 30 out of 100 based on 32 reviews.[8] Rob Schneider was nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor.To which I say:I don't give a sh!$. I laughed my arse off several times during the movie. It's one of those spastic, juvenile, sometimes tacky comedies in the vein of "Meatballs", Caddyshack, etc. that is just funny while drinking some beer and whiskey on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Yep, sometimes "...scattershot, lowbrow humor..." is just what I'm looking for. Salma Hayek in a bathing suit is always a good addition, as well...:yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I caught the tail end of "The Punisher" the other day. At the end, when Frank Castle was about to end it all, there was a glass and a bottle of WT on the table beside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oke&coke Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Watched an episode of South Park last night where they dealt with asperger syndrome and the matrix movies. They used Jamison's Irish whisky as a serum that allowed them to see the truth in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wryguy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Flipping through the channels last night and happened upon a show called Storage Hunters, where they buy storage lockers that other people defaulted on. I was about to keep surfing when the guy on the show opened the armoire, and found a box of cigars and 4 bottles of whiskey, including a Bushmill's, a Midleton, and a Hirsch 28. Made me want to go buy some storage lockers. The guy on the show seemed to think he could get money for it, but as far as I understand it would be a gray-market sale. He should just drink the stuff.

At that party Jimmy Russell got a shoutout as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
