the futures so blight....

havent watched any basketball this season but i like to check out the scores now and again. just saw that carmelo anthony has 43 points 3 minutes into the second half. how many players have scored 60 points in a game?

This feat has been accomplished 62 times in NBA history. Twenty different players have scored 60 or more points in a game. Only four players have scored 60 points on more than one occasion: Wilt Chamberlain 32 times, Michael Jordan five times, Kobe Bryant five times, and Elgin Baylor four times.

remember those simpler times when you could ogle scarlett johansson and drink your bubbly water in peace?

anybody remember an ad for mexican tourism with the jingle tagline being --

"mexico... mexico... the arriba country"?

With the release of “Nashville” and “Jaws,” the summer of ’75 delivered both the culmination — and the beginning of the end — of that period. “Nashville” seemed to incarnate a film buff’s hopes for American movies. Here was an artist putting the machinery of popular culture to work for the sake of art, yet entering into the spirit of popular culture and partaking of its energy too. That was the dream: the power of popular art combined with the complexity of fine art, high and low not at war, and not blurred indistinguishably into each other, but embracing.

So had yet another great Alder din last nite w bunch of people....This time got pretty deep w wines....Trebbiano, great...The Riffault Sancerre completely bizzarre, weirdo semi oxidized..pachyderm urine thing going on??  Grolleau Anjou red also crazy, good...and had the Sicilian Frappato...beauty, clear headed, but earthy....All really amazing for price as well, I think....

Food great, never had shrimp thing before....all great....etc

doubtful that anyone less than will ferrell gets this sendup of 70s mini-series made especially with the cast assembled. if you appreciate his sensibility you should at least give this a chance. currently running on ifc.

just watched wolf of wall street. what a slog. way too long and self indulgent much like the characters he was portraying. no wonder his editor didnt get an academy award nomination. some nice performances but i couldnt wait for it to be over.
