I don't know for some reason I expected light traffic on MLK day at the movies but film goers
were out in full force so we had front row seats, which I find obnoxious that they even exist. I
think the Regal's line is "well there are people who are willing to pay for those seats so why not
provide them?

Eric Cantona es una de las leyendas del futbol mundial , este ex-jugador
francés tenia mas clase,garra y personalidad que toda la selección francesa actual junta.
Idolo del Manchester United y ahora un actor de pelicula , nada mal para un futbolista que no podia
contener su temperamento y hasta golpeo a un aficionado en pleno juego.

It's been a slow couple of weeks here, one of those periods where I haven't had much to say and,
when when I have, I've been too lazy to write it up. But Episode 3 of the Popdose Podcast is online
and I think it's our best yet. And despite my apology for what I said in the previous show, we're
filthier than ever, learning more about Jason's love of Yankee Candles and football than we ever
wanted to know.

Movies and soccer. Two things that traditionally don't mix well. In documentary form, maybe. But in
scripted Hollywood form? No. For various reasons, it usually ends in either cheesy emotions,
unconvincing action, or Robert Duvall's Scottish accent in A Shot at Glory. But not always. There
are a handful of good football movies out there.

Bulgaria's greatest, Georgi Asparuhov, life tragically cut at 28. Rooney misses a sitter. (Studs

name also TBA. (Futfanatico) John Barnes: Savior of Rwanda, not Don Cheadle. (Fisted Away) Adriano:
The face of crack.

I don't think there have been too many romantic comedies set in alternative universes, and if
there are, there haven't been many good ones. Groundhog Day is the first one that comes to mind,
and Defending Your Life, which takes place in the afterlife of Judgment City, could also qualify.
That's probably because coming up with yet another scenario in which Kate Hudson and Matthew
McConaughey can implausibly meet, hate each other, then fall in love is tough enough without having
to redefine the very fabric of the universe.

I haven't written about too many comedy songs here. That's because they tend to wear out their
welcome if you listen to them too much. When I interviewed Jonathan Coulton three years ago (was it
really that long ago?), I asked him about that, and he spoke about the importance of creating
two-dimensional scenarios and using subtlety for that very reason.

As a guitar player who loves to hear musicians talk about their craft, you would think that I
would have seen this movie on the day of its release. But I kept meaning to see it, eventually
forgot about it, then noticed it was still in one theater here when I passed by it the other day,
and finally caught it yesterday.

I don't go to a lot of movies these days, but it was an ugly, rainy day, and I didn't feel like
sitting around the apartment doing nothing (I had done that yesterday). A few friends had
recommended it, so I decided to check it out.
Adventureland is the tale of a college graduate who takes a summer job at a Pittsburgh-area
amusement park in 1987.

Politico hears from the person who vetted Sarah Palin for the vice-presidential job.
A.B. Culvahouse, a powerful Washington lawyer and former counsel to President Reagan, told an
audience of Republican lawyers that for McCain, selecting a vice president came down to three
questions: Why do you want to be vice president?

I haven't been able to post these past few days due to trying to finish up my project. That
may turn out to be a good thing for my blood pressure because this blog would have been filled with
insults about Wednesday's "Tea Parties." Instead, I'm just going to post this video clip below,
because I couldn't have been the only person to watch the footage and think of this classic
scene.

I was doing some more thinking after my Gaslight Anthem-Inspired Digression post from a few days
ago, and remembered this scene from one of my favorite movies, which happened to have been inspired
by the greatest movie ever made.
I'm not comparing my writing to that of Lester Bangs or Cameron Crowe, but one thing is certain:
Philip Seymour Hoffman is the greatest actor in the world.

I spent roughly two hours watching Goal II: Living the Dream on Netflix last night and normally I'd
be bitching about how I'm never going to get that hour and fifty-six minutes back, when I could
have been sleeping.Although I have to say, as shit as the movie may be, I love the game enough to
watch every minute, from the ridiculous cut and paste La Liga and Champions League play to the

Like with some albums, we can frequently take certain movies for granted and don't always
acknowledge their brilliance as often as we should. But as soon as somebody references them, we're
left with no other option but to watch them and be reminded of why they're classic.
So when I saw Dan Loney's reference to The In-Laws in his MLS Western Conference Preview post, I
had to throw on the DVD.

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau were such a great pairing. One day I'm going to have to watch
this DVD of The Fortune Cookie that I have as part of a Billy Wilder box set. But this was on last
night as I was falling asleep. Sure enough, the punchline in this scene is the same amount of words
as yesterday's post.
