Realized Hoop Dreams was on Netflix Instant, so watched that.  After watching King of Kong and this in the past week, I'm into underdog documentaries.  Also watched "Elite Squad: Enemy Within" and I'm in love with Jose Padilha.

And that awesome music! It was like Pretty In Pink but with more head stomping. 

Yeah, I just started the wire this weekend.  Season 1 Ep 1. 

From "El Mariachi": "No la mataras.  Yo la matare".  (You won't kill her.  I will kill her.)  Helped me with the test on the future tense.

"mat political analysis"? I'd love to hear how Vince McMahon can utilize this for his own personal advantage.

MTV? They don't even play music videos anymore! I mean, what is that about, amirite?

Purchased the app to listen to all early round NCAA games on my phone, and
it ended up being a good four dollars spent.  It'll be useless now, but
the first round of games weren't on the radio, and I don't have cable,
so when I was grilling or cleaning the house, I could listen to the
games.

Dammit! We just went there! Why didn´t you say that three months ago!

They dumped Robert Englund for the Nightmare remake.  So nothing is sacred now.

The best part of Leprechaun 4 is that the start of the movie needs context.  They immediately need to explain that this group of Space Marines is already traveling to kill the leprechaun who as already captured the space princess.   Lots of telling, very little showing. It's great.

Here's a question that probably no one else asked. Why is he smoking a shamrock? It was revealed in a previous Leprechaun movie that the shamrock hurts him.  Now he's smoking it intentionally?  Why doesn't he die? It makes me think that they were making it up as they went. 

Fuck yes.  Fuck fuck yes.  I totally agree with this comment.  My favorite aspect is that they use DNA in the plot and yet have absolutely no idea what DNA is. 

She's divorced.  You can't feel like a dirty old man for lusting after a divorced woman.

I'm a teacher, and I play basketball frequently and have gotten fat lips and scratches, and my wife gives me a hard time about showing up to school with some scratches on my mug.  But even I wouldn't want to show up with a black eye or broken fingers, so I'll do what old people do: buy the video of the big 4 reunion…

Yeah, I saw the National open for Modest Mouse and REM and they really outplayed the other two significantly.  But one was a 25+ year act and another was a 10+ year act that had some significant mainstream success.  The National was playing for their dinner.

I'm so glad I went to that show.  But you're entitled to your opinion.

I always see Nelly's face when I take a piss at the gym.  He's doing a reality show about getting in shape or something.  How is rapping those songs as a almost 40 year old any more embarrassing then becoming a reality show host? His big diamond earrings make me push out the pee faster from my jealous rage.

Godspeed! You Black Emperor is reuniting, and I don't really care.  I love Skinny Arms and especially F Sharp, but, kind of like Slint, there are points in the songs where it slows down.  That works great in a home setting, but it seems like it'd be boring live.  Then it'd kick in and go nuts, but then later then…

¿Cuál es la clase favorita de un pirata?   Arrrrrrrte.

¡Los bros lo aman!
