A Totally Cherry Stadium

December 24th, 2006 No Comments

I’ve always loved Texas Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) even though it was a poorly thought out stadium, it’s always been the coolest, most original looking stadium in the NFL.
Well, now they are building a new and improved version of it in Arlington and man alive…..this stadium is FLY!. It’s going to set a new standard [...]

Son of Albert backs out of a reunion.
Who here is surprised that George Michael didn’t just grab a stranger in the park to play with instead?

The Leftist American Hero

December 13th, 2006 No Comments

To add to my confessions of less-than-honorable viewing habits, I’ve been revisiting lately the old TV series "The Greatest American Hero."
Wow, is it bad, and some of the acting, by star William Katt in particular, is astonishing. I loved this show as a 10-year-old. Now, not so much.
I have been surprised, however, by some of [...]

iTunes’ hard times

December 13th, 2006 No Comments

This story reports that iTunes sales have suffered a dramatic drop. I don’t doubt it. iTunes, while pioneering, is also a headache. But why do stories about this tuff always include ass-head statements like this:
…it is too soon to
tell whether the decline is seasonal or if demand for digital
music is falling.

What about the other alternative: [...]

More movie notes

December 13th, 2006 No Comments

Just watched, finally, Scorsese’s The Aviator. I resisted it for a long time, but it was quite good. However, the brilliant Cate Blanchett was too good at reminding me why I hate Katherine Hepburn. Shudder. That scene in which Howard has to endure dinner with Hepburn’s entire family was excruciating — tenfold what I experience [...]

Worth a laugh

December 3rd, 2006 No Comments

A couple of movies new to DVD that made me laugh more than expected:
The overall quite good Thank You for Smoking, with Aaron Eckhart as a "morally flexible" tobacco industry lobbyist. Some of the smartest anti-PC humor you’ll see. The movie doesn’t pack quite the same punch as Election, but it’s of the same style, [...]

Obama’s name problem

December 3rd, 2006 No Comments

I think I mentioned a while back Ted Kennedy having some trouble with Barack Obama’s name, repeatedly calling him "Osama" in one speech. It’s been speculated that this foreign-sounding name, and its similarity to a name associated with terrorism, could hurt this Democrat golden boy in a national election.
But it gets even worse for him [...]
