I understand all the concerns voiced here but you can't really speak to how disappointing the movie is if you haven't seen it yet. Just sayin', Spike.

"When you consider how much venom could be directed at a white person for
merely treating a black person as an equal, and how that would pale
(hah!) in comparison to what black people had to endure, it is a wonder
that any progress ever happened in race relations."

Those were the days when even superstars of the game had to have jobs in the off season.

Jay-Z just gets more insufferable with each passing day. Ugh. Is this what Michael had in mind when he planned on making the Corleone family legit?

Oh, yes…

Agreed, but compared to Seacrest he's Richard Pryor.

…and Spacehog as special guests.

Can't get with Beady Eye. Meanwhile, the High Flying Birds record is outstanding.

Meanwhile, U2's detractors took the opportunity to "enjoy" them in the same spirit of irony the band…

That might be their best one yet.

Only 40…way too soon to go.
He was the Dad in Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" video, btw…

HBO sports docs are the shit, as the kids say. And the Curt Flood one was tops.

Second.

Yeah, Eight Men Out…

A great baseball flick although not my fave. (That would be Billy Crystal's 61*.) But I still find funny that Crash Davis believes Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
