I’m happy. I love O-line guys (my all-time favorite NFL player was a center), and KC needs to bring back the glory days of Joe & Tim & Will & Willie. How’s your team doing? Andy Levy already tweeted his greatest fear: @andylevy assuming the jets will draft a point guard
In honor of the Men (& Women) in Blue, who — as ever — rose to challenge after challenge this week, pick your MOVIE cop favorites. 5. Irish cop Pat O’Brien: His Mulligan in Some Like It Hot was a career homage. 4. Crazy cop Mel Gibson: Hard to remember now, but once upon a time, he was [...] It’s time to play the music/it’s time to light the lights… Tootsie is on TCM; the second Doctor Who special (about the 2nd Dr Who) is on BBCAmerica; Desperately Seeking Susan is on LOGO; and this week’s General Hospital episodes are screening on SoapNet. These are all things I would rather be watching. *sigh* [...] Tomorrow’s the Academy Awards (ugh; that time AGAIN)…there will be a live thread Sunday; feel free to jump in and snark away (or read for updates if you can’t bear to watch). Here, as usual, we make no predictions (3Ders = not known for their love of the Current-Run Film). Rather, we look backwards: when [...] Now that VDay 2013 is in the history books, it’s confession time! What grand romantic gesture have you made/received/heard about/seen in a film (or on TV)? I’m calling this the “-fritz- Five” because…of course. One of my favorites probably belongs in a Nora Ephron movie (or a John Hughes one). It was 1993, and my [...] Not father/son, not father-figure/son-substitute, not actual brothers. Just two men who see each other through thick & thin: court cases, knife fights, unemployment, old loves, run-ins with Gary Busey…and in the process, give us chemistry to remember. 5. Riggs & Murtaugh (Lethal Weapon): It ended, many sequels later, as cheap overkill. But the first one was a [...] So there’s a spiritual malaise across the land, and it’s spelled “We have to sit through four more years of this guy?” In an effort to buck up the 3D soldiers, today’s Five is your list of Conservatives Who Give You Hope: 5. Jonah Goldberg: the scribe. This NRO writer has a Buckleyesque turn of phrase [...] Sorry, meant to post this Saturday night, after Penn State’s season-ending OT victory over the Badgers: Michaels Mauti and Zordich, the seniors who held the Penn State team together en route to an 8-4 record when the football world (including many in the Nittany Lion fan-camp) figured the team would be lucky to notch three [...] Gone With The Wind (1939): Classic tale of Scarlett O’Hara’s battle to save her beloved Tara and find love during the Civil War. Dir: Victor Fleming (&co.) Cast: Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Thomas Mitchell, Hattie McDaniel, Leslie Howard, Olivia DeHavilland. 223 min. 9:15pm CDT. TCM. We’ve been here before but nothing wrong with going ’round [...] Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969): In this musical remake, a conservative boys’ school teacher falls in love with an actress. Dir. Herbert Ross Cast: Peter O’Toole, Petula Clark, Michael Redgrave 2:00 pm CDT. TCM. None of the songs are particularly memorable (the late 60s = a terrible time for the movie musical), but the script [...] The Governor of New Jersey? or Carnack? Chris predicted it, all in the face of both teams lowering expectations. And now it’s schadenfreude time. Here’s a Weekday Five: what were your favorite moments/tweets/responses from last night’s debate? 5. DrewM: My guess is about 75% of MSNBC’s audience tonight is conservatives ODing on schadenfreude. 4. Herminator: That [...] h/t to Eric for today’s Five, which started in yesterday’s Open Thread. Bill Murray is 62!! Unbelievable. Thought we’d carry the celebration over a day and discuss favorite Murray performances, roles, films, SNL skits… 5. Coffee & Cigarettes (2003) : In which he waxes eloquent as a waiter in a diner serving a couple of rappers. [...] Meet one of the Tampa elephants! Google the city project that inspired this — pretty cool! Share on Facebook The Full Monty (1997): Six unemployed steel workers form a male striptease act. The women cheer them on to go for “the full monty” – total nudity. Dir.: Peter Cattaneo Cast: Robert Carlyle, Tom Wilkinson, Mark Addy Midnight CDT/OvationTV What could have been a one-joke premise turned out to be a touching, hilarious, memorable [...] (tumblr photo from the Hey Girl It’s Paul Ryan site) Because I love a man who’s The Smartest Guy in the Room, but doesn’t rub it in. Because ”…starts with AC/DC & ends with Zeppelin” was one of the best lines of the night. Because, really, I can’t choose his best line — he had more [...] It’s Back-to-School time! Name the actors/characters/films that you think showed what teaching, and teaching well, is all about (Note: I’m leaving “coaches” for another thread, but if you want to include them, go ahead). 5. Daryl Mitchell as Mr Morgan (10 Things I Hate About You/1999): One reason I loved this teen-flick take on Taming of [...] Since Floyd’s done such a great job of keeping our minds there with his July OTs, I thought I’d pick up the thread (see what I did there?), and share favorite Summer Olympics memories. 5. Olga Korbut (gymnastics/1972): Her backflip off the top of the uneven parallel bars is my first Olympic memory. 4. Nadia Comaneci [...] |
