I remember Simmons' first ever television appearance. He'd been gaining some traction in Boston thanks to a Peter Gammons plug and was invited to Bob Lobel's Sports Final show on the local CBS affiliate. Flop sweat, deer in the headlights stare, and then he started to speak — the first time I heard that nasally,…

'Dragon' is another good Donnie Yen movie available on Netflix. It's not the greatest martial arts flick, but it's shot really well and sort of a Chinese take on 'A History of Violence'.
Yeah, I always thought it was strange that Yen never really got a shot in the US. He spent some of his early years in Boston, so he speaks English fluently. Then again, I think maybe it has to do with the fact that Jackie Chan and Jet Li were more 'approachable' for a Western audience. That is, Jackie has his…
The original version is more balanced, as it pays more attention to Zhang Ziyi's character. It's essentially a movie about two grandmasters. However, I have issues with both versions. It's as if there's one amazing, longer film out there that spawned two incomplete, different movies. Wong Kar Wai said that the…
God, that machine gun punching is amazing.
The cop was just doing his best impression of a Major League umpire.

I totally agree!
For some reason, my father thought it was a great idea to take me to a Robocop/Predator double feature when I was 7. Although I made it through most of the movie okay, the toxic waste/windshield splatter scene put me over the edge. By the time Predator started up, I begged my father to take me home.
I work in the office building just across the street from the In N' Out. At our company, we rotate offices a lot, so occasionally I'm blessed with a window view of the landing area. When the Endeavour came to LA, we all went up to the roof and got to watch it land. One of the few perks of working near LAX.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, masters of failing upwards.
After 'Mean Girls', the only other project I had seen Franzese in was 'Party Down', where he played an asshole pre-med football player. Thought he was hilarious. Incidentally, the episode was about his teammate, the star college quarterback, whose draft status comes into question when rumors of his orientation start…
"[T]hat D-Backs patch is the worst part about this otherwise immaculate uniform." Yeah, they could've at least changed the color to match the grey/blue.
Eh, Red Sox fans have known about this for years:
I can't quite make out the first sentence, but I think the coach said:
"[T]he main character will be named Daryl Wade..." Wyane Dwade wasn't catchy enough?
But what happens if you drink too much at home and wake up somewhere else?
Would've been 561, but John Kerry wrote in 'Manny Ortez'.
