“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

That’s a step too far for me

Absolutely! Love oxtail, slow-cooked heart, quick-fried liver, wibbly shiz like brain/sweetbread if crumbed and deep fried. Tripe is just a floppy wall of The Blob

What with the whole tripe thing I need to refer the room back to the absolutely lovely pizza I had for lunch: fresh and crispy with spicy sausage and not a whisper of internal organ, PLUS the restaurant was called Elle Effe (LF! Lucy Fishwife!)

Lucy Fishwife 🥐 @lucyfishwife.bsky.social · 1d

Anyway! That’s enough disrespect to the artistic output of classical antiquity. We then remembered to have some pizza for lunch, because we suddenly realised we hadn’t yet had any, so that was nice

I KNOWWWW like a twat I went for Palazzo Barberini except it got “closed during covid and not yet reopened” NOT THAT THE WEBSITE WAS FORTHCOMING ON THE SUBJECT. It had lovely trim gardens and a verrry nice caff though, and zero tour groups

Oh that’ll definitely happen, OBV we need your carbonara, and we failed to snag a meal at either Armando or Roscioli (and blah blah Vatican)

I may never eat tripe again, but I will bear that in mind after another 30 year period has elapsed

Lucy Fishwife 🥐 @lucyfishwife.bsky.social · 17h

IT IS TOO LATE NOW MATT. Plus I had the cacio e pepe at Felice, I think I made a brave showing

I wasn’t trying to eat all the disgusting bits

Lucy Fishwife 🥐 @lucyfishwife.bsky.social · 18h

Si! Trippa di vitello, con mento e pecorino. Unlikely to ever eat it again but it was not bad

I did not cook it (I would not know how), but yes I felt it would be good to escape my comfort zone for one course

Lucy Fishwife 🥐 @lucyfishwife.bsky.social · 18h

I had tripe for dinner. I have only had it once in my life, cooked badly, and never since. I thought I would be brave and give it another go. It was fine! Not monstrous! I will probably never have it again, but I didn’t hate it. Hashtag push your envelope or something
