Junk Drawer 12/20/09 - Rudolph, Santa and Reindeer Discrimination

PrintThe other day I recorded Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Flight Before Christmas, which was coming on after Rudolph, because it had Norm Macdonald as one of the voices. Yesterday, I watched all of The Flight Before Christmas and most of Rudolph, and both were disturbing.
The Flight Before Christmas is about a young reindeer named Niko who lives with his mother and a squirrel who also acts as Nico's surrogate father. Niko does not know who his real father is, just that his mother took a ride with one of Santa’s reindeer who had his own sleigh on Christmas day, and then months later she had Niko. She did not know Niko's father's name, just that he worked for Santa.
Nico runs away to find his father and when he finally gets to the North Pole, he finds Santa's reindeer then asks them all at a bar if any of them hooked up on Christmas day with a female reindeer, and they all laugh and say something like, "Who hasn’t?" Then they have Niko prove he can fly by jumping off a cliff, he can’t fly so they save him from his fall and tell Nico that none of them are his father.
Other stuff happens, and he ends up flying, and then I believe it is Blitzen who admits to Niko that he is the father, but he was too scared to admit it. I’m not sure what the lesson was there and in the end Niko goes home to his mom and squirrel surrogate dad. The comments on IMDB kind of mirror my dismay.
Rudolph, the Red-Nosted Reindeer is just as bad. One of my favorite parts is when they find out about Rudolph’s nose and Santa says to Rudolph's father, "Donner, you should be ashamed of yourself." I found a webpage that explains it better than I can, here are the money quotes:
‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ is a cleverly constructed, thinly veiled story of society’s intolerance towards minority groups and the isolation and depression that these groups experience along with the forgiveness that must muster in order to persevere.
He goes on to talk about forgiveness:
Similarly, just fifty years ago blacks had to endure separate-but-equal water fountains and had to enter through the rear entry of many hotels and restaurants. Years later when black athletes started to more heavily populate the NFL and NBA leagues they suddenly had access to a world that once and still to some degree reject them.
Basically the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is that if you are different, you have no use to society, until you can prove your worth. Right after watching Rudolph, I watched a show on the Ironman Triathlon and it touched me to see all the folks with disabilities proving that they belong. Well, everyone but this one guy who was missing a hand an a leg, he couldn't finish the marathon, I'm not sure where he belongs.

A) The aggressiveness with which those two are going at each other is a bit disturbing. Is there some kind of endgame coming up with who will be the #1 carrier for the future (Sprint looks pretty dead, and T-Mobile has nice service but is just an also-ran)
B) The ad agency wants to insinuate that reindeers navigate with 3G maps? How do people who have no 3G network get their gifts, asked little Timmy.
Has there been anything official from the team that LMA is playing hurt?
If he’s banged up, they should say so. Otherwise we assume he is not playing hard, or doesn’t care. Perhaps I missed something. His performance the last 5-6 games has dropped like a rock.
Keep starting Miller.
Roy and LaMarcus are not listed on the injury report
Nicolas Batum (right shoulder), Rudy Fernandez (sciatic pain), Patrick Mills (right foot), Greg Oden (left knee) and Travis Outlaw (left foot) are out.
LaMarcus just has this dry section
LAST GAME: Recorded three points (1-6 FG), a rebound, an assist and three steals in 31 minutes … NOTEWORTHY: Second on team in points (16.0) and third in rebounds (7.6) … Team leader with eight double-doubles … Led team in scoring six times and rebounding nine times (inc. ties).
A lot of guys don't like talking about being hurt or playing sick
I can understand the stoic stuff — why point out weaknesses? LMA has been fighting the “soft” label for years, so I can see him wanting to play through pain without making a big deal of it.
He stunk it up last night and wasn’t great against Phoenix, but I’m not sure where you’re getting bad performances from the last 5-6 games.
Tolliver wears #44. Does that mean he's half a Nic?
Averaged 20.7 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.29 steals in seven starts for the NBA Development League’s Idaho Stampede … 2008-09: Appeared in 19 games for the San Antonio Spurs, posting averages of 2.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 10.9 minutes … HOW ACQUIRED: Signed by Portland under the NBA Hardship Exemption on Dec. 17, 2009 … OFF THE COURT: Full name is Anthony Lamar Tolliver … Son of Johnny Tolliver and Donna Lewis … Has six sisters … Majored in finance at Creighton University.
It means he is Channing Frye

Hey, my dad also has six sisters!
I can tell you this Tolliver guy has to be special. Very strong mentally.
Panathinaikos coach Zeljko Obradovic is lucky that he isn't in a league with David Stern as commissioner
http://www.talkbasket.net/news/obradovic-it-was-5-against-8-2855.html
“It is very difficult to say anything about the game, simply because there was no game. We were playing against 8 players from the first second. Refs were clearly against Panathinaikos. Absolutely different criteria for each side. I am saying this because we watched the 8 first minutes of the game in the locker rooms, reviewing the game play by play. I told that to the refs too.”
And there comes more. His fine would probably make Cuban weep.
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is canonical for the American dogmatic.
It preaches that if you try hard enough, you can achieve greatness. All you have to do is believe in yourself. Which reminds me of that G. K. Chesterton wrote concerning self-confidence:
Once I remember walking with a prosperous publisher, who made a remark which I had often heard before; it is, indeed, almost a motto of the modern world. Yet I had heard it once too often, and I saw suddenly that there was nothing in it. The publisher said of somebody, “That man will get on; he believes in himself.”
And I remember that as I lifted my head to listen, my eye caught an omnibus on which was written “Hanwell.” I said to him, “Shall I tell you where the men are who believe most in themselves? For I can tell you. I know of men who believe in themselves more colossally than Napoleon or Caesar. I know where flames the fixed star of certainty and success. I can guide you to the thrones of the Super-men. The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums.”
He said mildly that there were a good many men after all who believed in themselves and who were not in lunatic asylums.
“Yes, there are,” I retorted, “and you of all men ought to know them. That drunken poet from whom you would not take a dreary tragedy, he believed in himself. That elderly minister with an epic from whom you were hiding in a back room, he believed in himself. If you consulted your business experience instead of your ugly individualistic philosophy, you would know that believing in himself is one of the commonest signs of a rotter. Actors who can’t act believe in themselves; and debtors who won’t pay. It would be much truer to say that a man will certainly fail, because he believes in himself. Complete self-confidence is not merely a sin; complete self-confidence is a weakness. Believing utterly in one’s self is a hysterical and superstitious belief like believing in Joanna Southcote: the man who has it has `Hanwell’ written on his face as plain as it is written on that omnibus.”
And to all this my friend the publisher made this very deep and effective reply, “Well, if a man is not to believe in himself, in what is he to believe?”
After a long pause I replied, “I will go home and write a book in answer to that question.”

don't you hate lazy folks
I don’t mind as much as I should, when someone doesn’t recycle because it is a pain in the butt, but I just went into the break room and there are two trash cans and three for cans and bottles and someone threw a bunch of cans in the trash. LAME! And at my desk, I got like 20 pages of a circuit design that some guy printed out to just show me one line. LAME!
I do hate lazy people
We have this coffee maker at work that you place your under a spout….below that is a little trap for overflow (drips and such). On this is a label that states “This is not a drain” .

My wife spends a good chunk of her time at work trying to teach kids with about 15% mental capacity
how to point to a sheet of pictures so they can communicate. I keep her telling she should let the poor kid enjoy a life of television and pampering and focus on the kids who will eventually have jobs, but these educators, they think what they’re doing is SOOOOOO important….

People like your wife are admirable
No wonder why they are mainly women. You have to be SO strong to work with these kids…
A friend of mine works with kids with brain parallisis (not sure if this is the right name). She’s always laughing and making jokes about the situations they have to endure with the kids. Just admirable.
(I was kidding about my jerkness, just for the record)
But yes, it takes a ton of patience. She made a mix and match set of Blazer gear, complete with player faces. She has the kid put the “all white jersey on Rudy” or the “road red jersey on Aldridge.” It’s awesome.

It was fun looking at the partners and point out who was a first wife or second wife. Once everyone got dunk, folks danced and had all kinds of fun. I just went for the food and drinks. If I got bored, I’d go talk to women who were alone, starting with the hot ones first.

Seriously talk to as many women as you can
One party I went up and sat with an old lady because no one was sitting with her. It turned out she was a super bigwigs wife and everyone else was scared to sit with her. My wife stopped talking about work with all her coworkers and came and sat with me to make sure I didn’t say anything to get her in trouble. I still asked her if her single daughter was a lesbian.

Regarding Christmas Movies and Minorities
I was watching the Family Stone last night (don’t ask me why). If you have ever watched this thing you will know that it is about this big white family at Christmas time and one of the sons brings his uptight new girlfriend and hilarity ensues (supposedly). Towards the end of pre-production, I think that the producers realized that there were no minorities in the movie. So they then tell casting that they need have a Gay guy, a Deaf guy, and a black guy…but there is only room in the budget for 2 more actors. So brilliantly (in their own minds) the create a son who is both Gay and Deaf with a black guy as the significant other. Problem solved!! At least this is how I visualized it happening ….I may be wrong

I don’t know what setup they have behind the scenes, but he does a great job of knowing what’s going on in every game, and any little back-stories as well.

Ohhhh man. You will not be disappointed.
It is NOT a great movie, but it is the single most amazing experience I have ever had in the movies. I thought this is how people must have felt watching the 1933 King Kong, or Star Wars in 77. You have not seen 3D yet until you see this movie. It completely immerses you in a different world. Sometimes it seems like there are insects floating 6 inches in front of your face, and you can see dozens of planes of depth. It is simply incredible. The story will not blow you away, but the visuals will.

I didn't know that either, until I read in on BlazersEdge
I think the female fans on the blog are Travis friendly, hence the white knights of the internet rush to defend them/Trav.
In other words, guys support Travis because chicks dig him. Makes perfect sense to me.
So Travis is to male Blazer fans in 2009
What the anti-war movement was to American males in the late 60s.
Maybe I should change my sig to #25 and see if the ladies can resist such a sensitive white knight.

I still can't figure out what they saw in him
I still wonder if Nike had a say in that draft pick. He would have been there 10 spots later. I remember watching that draft and yelling at the TV when they announced the pick.
That moment was when I wondered if Portland could turn it around with the management in place.
Nike = Adidas
I think that they wouldn’t have gotten to PA, he don’t need their cash, but may have gotten to Nash, who could use that pay off, and against all of his scouts cries slammed the table and said THIS IS MY PICK.
That last part is true, supposedly.
#52
Yep, I've heard the same story.
I still watched the team, but stopped expecting a turnaround after that.
I’m surprised KP made it through the ranks of an organization that brought Nash in as GM. I think KP’s enjoyment of technology gave him an “in” with Allen.
I think failing so much with Nash made it possible
If he had listened to the scouts and drafted Paul, I do not think we have a guy like KP taking over.
#52
His love of technology and stats, making the team fun with the trades and wheeling and dealing...
I don’t think PA is dumb, and not dumb with basketball either, but he went for a “safe” good ol’ boy pick with Nash and Patterson and when that didn’t work at all, he went with a New Wave pick before it was the norm.
#52
I think he went with Nasherson because he didn't have many choices
The super smart and talented guys weren’t exactly pounding on the door to be a part of the franchise back then.
That's true too
We weren’t exactly a hotspot right then in that moment of our history.
It is funny to me that those were the years that I actually came back to following the team hardcore… I always followed the Blazers, but not as much as I do now, and it started right about when we went to Nasherson.
Those years SUCKED.
#52
Yeah I didn't have access to the games
So I listened or followed on gamecast. I mean, they stunk, but I still got mad when gamecast would stop working during the game.
That was only, what’ 4 years ago? Now everyone gets upset if there isn’t an HD quality link available, with free radio links. “I’m not going to just LISTEN to the game.”
During our 21 win season
I stayed up till 4am to listen to us lose horribly from Hamburg, Germany.
And yeah, now I bitch when my LPBB is blacked out by NBAtv, before I realize I just got NBAtv for free.
We are funny whiners.
#52
21 worked out awesome for me
I moved here, had dial up, then got real internet and cable but couldn’t afford league pass so I followed the team on Yahoo and Oregon Live.
I still can't figure out what they saw in him
I still wonder if Nike had a say in that draft pick. He would have been there 10 spots later. I remember watching that draft and yelling at the TV when they announced the pick.
That moment was when I wondered if Portland could turn it around with the management in place.
I also think
No way Telfair gets drafted at ALL if he wasn’t a NYC kid.
He goes to college, and becomes whatever he becomes.
#52
The NYC hype definitely worked to his advantage
Neither the first nor last time that would happen, of course.
And I already decided that just like Fatty, who became bigger in death than life
I think it’ll be funny to attribute beliefs to AK that he would find abhorrent.
AK was smart, but he just has too much of an affinity for combo guards for their aesthetic qualities, moreever, furthermore, however, he also places much too importance on everyone on the team being friends— for that sort of off court chemistry is of the utmost importance— and that is just something y’all diddling dunderheads will have to accept!!
#52
AK and fatty have always been linked in my mind.
flag*magnet.grammar.fanboys
I’m onboard with your plan. Besides, we have the evidence to back it up:
I, however, have an affinity for combo guards for their aesthetic qualities, moreever, furthermore, however, I also place much too importance on everyone on the team being friends— for that sort of off court chemistry is of the utmost importance— and that is just something y’all diddling dunderheads will have to accept!!
And now that I think about it
AK and Fatty together, arguing strongly with each other, would be a good reality show. The tall lanky skinny white AK with the short and round black Fatty… it’s the Odd Couple, for a new generation!

I would say that I find his love for african-american players with short hair who fail to live up to their talent a little more odd. He just loves, loves, loves Gerald Green.

He overvalues the PPG stat as well
I don’t even think he watches the defensive end of the court, just waits for lanky skinny short haired black 6’9" dudes to jack up jumpers when they get the ball back.
Hakim Warrick, Gerald Green, Outlaw— there’s a definite pattern to who AK likes.

not to mention his interesting tastes in point guards. He likes super small, quick guards that score but often fail to make plays for others. I think he might have been banned for arguing too vociferously in Patty Mills’ defense.

Search "waterbug" and AK
You’ll see at least 3 thousand posts describing why lightning quick, “waterbug” PGs are the key to success—despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. He doesn’t listen.
I’m sick of him constantly wanting to trade Oden away for guys like JJ Barea, Earl Boykins, Rudy Gay…

I don't think the fan is going... it was pretty quiet before, but I think it isn't working now.
The tray of ice that was frozen since last night also seemed watery when I just made me a drink…
Ok, I just muted all sounds in the house, and I hear the fan now. I just went and checked, and the fan is on and it is working. PHEW. I had turned up the cold, which was already at a too-cold level (I like my stuff cold) just to see if the motor would kick on. When it didn’t, I went uuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh.
I do think it had turned off for some reason, because the ice wouldn’t have melted otherwise.

I just want us to play hard-- for realz
We will likely go 0 and 4 on this trip.
This trip was tough before we had the team gutted, I ain’t expecting good things, and that is fine… we can still be an above mediocre team if Roy is good again, but not much more without Oden/Batum/Rudy/LMA-healthy.

"Playing for the Trail Blazers is kind of like being the drummer for Spinal Tap" - Sexual Tyrannosaurus on Dec 20, 2009 10:59 AM HST
Roy has certainly been off all on his own; same for LMA
I think they can be as good as last year again, and with all of our injuries, we need them to be that good to be a good team.
#52
I agree 100%
I think lack of continuity is messing everyone up. Is there a stat that tracks teams sucking together?

"Playing for the Trail Blazers is kind of like being the drummer for Spinal Tap" - Sexual Tyrannosaurus on Dec 20, 2009 10:59 AM HST
Yep. If we can somehow hang around the 8 spot during this rough patch
Then we’ll start getting healthy guys back and can make a push to be trendy upset pick in the playoffs.
We really need Brandon and LMA though. Brandon is slowly improving, LMA… well yeah.
If we do make the playoffs
I’ll count it as a big achievement, with this current crew and with people not playing like they should.
#52
I haven't decided if the achievement would be huge, or if it would say more about the teams below us
I mean, even without Oden, this team is a playoff contender. It’s just a matter of how quickly we get the missing guys back, and if LMA and Roy return to form.
It also depends on how the returning players feel. I’m not sure I should expect much from Outlaw and Batum this season, period.
Without Oden, yeah...
…if we get similar production from Roy and LMA, and Rudy/Batum/Trout are doing decent; basically, if all else is there, we might be able to get past the lack of rebounding and defense and inside scoring Oden gives us, but after Oden is out, the margin of error gets real slim.
#52
Eh…. I am expecting Travis to be out all year, but I hold out hope for Nic.
It’s a shoulder injury, not something that bothers movement… I feel like it’s far easier to come back from an upper body injury than a blow to the legs
Unless you are Mo Speights, then you come back in four weeks and dominate fantasy.
hire tim grover
#52
I think Batum's lateral quickness should be great, so D is good
But I expect little from his shooting, since I presume he’s not been able to work out the upper body as much.
We already have one SF who’s fairly quick, doing well on D, and can’t shoot. I don’t think Batum would do any worse than Martell right now, but I’m not sure a recovering-from-injury Batum will do any better, either.
I’m beginning to think expectations for Batum’s return are getting a bit high. It’s really possible he’ll struggle.
I think Batum will be a perfect role playing point forward for us
But yeah, he gets sorta overrated with his CURRENT ability, and his Euroball play… he was good, but he was up and down as well.
#52
His Eurobasket play was incredible. He had one dunk where he seemingly took three steps from the three point line and was already dunking.
He was said pre-draft to have Rudy Gay type athleticism and potential on offense, but in more of a role player package.
hire tim grover
#52
He had a lot of awesome plays and games
But also some games where he didn’t do much.
I am extremely high on Batum though.
#52
Me too.
I have to stop myself from thinking how good Batum could be by season 4. We’ve had promising players end up disappointing so many times.
His all-round game is what does it for me
Such a smart passer, a smart player on both ends— far beyond his age.
I think there is much of a chance he won’t be really good. Guys like him, athletic lanky marvels, usually don’t have the mental part of the game figured out. Batum is different because he really “gets” basketball.
#52
Yep, I figured.
People can disappoint for so many reasons. He does seem to really get the sport though.
He’s great on the break, in both offense and defense. I bet he could fill in a lane for Andre Miller.
Thinking back to guys with that body type and ability, who didn't work out...
…It seems like it was largely because they didn’t ‘get it’. Too many bad shots, no effort on defense, etc.
If injuries weren’t the reason, anyways.
#52
I don’t think expectations are that high… Batum’s return means less Brandon at small forward, and we all know that’s a good thing.
He will play good defense, rebound well, and be a good offensive conduit. He also shot well all spring and summer with a super banged up shoulder.
hire tim grover
#52
That's before recovering from surgery, which could be a different situation
I don’t know though. I’d like Batum to be a game-changer upon return, but I’m bracing for a very quiet season from him.
I’d be very, very happy if he had a huge splash upon return.
1-3 is what I am hoping for
I think tonight against miami with a hobbled Wade is our best shot, even if it is on a back to back…

They needed heavy changes two years ago.
Then after last year, they tried the “it was just a down year, we’re fine” approach. You can only fool the fanbase one time with that one.
I think they should build around their young defensive players and rebuild the entire offensive line and QB.

by dario argento on Dec 20, 2009 2:06 PM PST up reply actions
Their first mistake was letting Steve Hutchinson get away
Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
But in noticeably more minutes
Oden led in rebounding while not playing a lot of minutes. If you move to per-36, Oden takes a huge leap.
That’s not to underestimate the importance of LMA being able to stay on the court (though Oden’s heavier responsibility on D is related to it), but also just a reminder of how much more effective a similar-height Oden is at rebounding. Oden got inside, battled, and simply WANTED that ball after a miss.
But Rudi was winking at you, silly!
Oden boxes out better than anyone I can think of. Even as a rookie.
#52
Funny part is that I missed the wink. Sorry Rudi.
I’m really, really tired today. Earlier today, while walking the dog, my wife said “watch out for your left foot”, to which I turned toward her and put my left foot directly into the dog doo. She sarcastically attempted to explain to me which foot was my left one when I groaned and told her to stop.
Now I’m kind of feeling like I’m in the Matrix. Would I have stepped in the dog doo if she hadn’t said anything? That’ll bake my noodle later.

If Broy and LA can play well, we shouldnt have a problem making the playoffs
Getting Rudy back and actually healthy will be a big boost, and I think we are missing Batum WAY more than people think. It causes half of our players to play out of position, namely all of the point guards. I am hoping that the worst is now behind us, and the blazers will only gain momentum and confidence from here on out…

If the Nets get LeBron and Wall this offseason, they
should start clearing some banner space. The more I watch Wall play, I could see him fitting with any kind of guard, so Harris wouldn’t necessarily need to be dealt. Those three players plus a high pick from a good class, Jersey could be scary. Maybe The Situation could be their Spike Lee…

i’ve been talking about the Jay-Z factor for quite a while. Plus, everything else makes too much sense: he’s close enough to NY for the media stuff.

Stuck a 25 foot three pointer with under 2 minutes left, right in Wade’s face.
game was tied with under 2 to play. Roy hit a tiebreaking midrange pullup with about 1:40 to give the Blazers the lead for good.
Blazers got a stop, Miller hit 2 fts, Blazers got another stop, Roy hit the dagger 3.
#52
I'm glad he's a Blazer.
I still don’t know if we’ll see last year’s Roy consistently this year, but he’s definitely rounding into form. He and LMA might need to address their summer routines to kick this slow starting habit.
#52
do you think Roy's weight loss
has anything to do with him not looking like the Roy of last year? I’ve wondered if this is the case just cause he doesn’t seem to go in the lane as much, like he doesn’t want the contact or something.
by DrivetheLane on Dec 20, 2009 7:52 PM PST up reply actions
I thought it was a combination of weight loss and the lack of active practice
You can do one or the other, but doing both would likely throw your game off until you adjust.

I think he is back and has been since the Oden injury... which is good and bad...
08-09 numbers:
23ppg 5rpg 5apg 1spg 2TOpg 48%fg 38%3pt 82%ft
Since the Houston game:
27ppg 5rpg 5apg 1spt 3TOpg 48%fg 37%3pt 76%ft
Everything is pretty much identical, except his points are up, as are his turnovers. I think both can be directly attributed to him taking on more responsibility than he ever had to in 08-09. His fg attempts are up 4 per game over last year(since Oden went down). For me though, the biggest factor that won’t show up on any stats, is that he is once again taking over close games in the 4th. He willed the blazers to a win in tonights game, as well as the Houston game. I am happy to have him back…

Andre forces the D to actually guard him. If the other team only has one good defensive guard, Andre can make the other team pay for it in a way that Blake just can’t.
#52
It's fascinating to see two playmakers in the back-court
When Roy got doubleteamed after a pick late in the game, the ball moved around to Miller, who could then work in comparatively open space since the defense was still recovering.
This also could work with Bayless. If used regularly, teams will have to make a choice when doubling Brandon on the perimeter: Go 1-1 and Brandon may beat you, doubleteam and Miller or Bayless can beat you before you recover.
i like your point about Bayless.
he seems comfortable in the lane enough to the point that if he’d let Miller coach him up, he could maybe develop those same sorts of post moves that Miller uses. Which would be amazing. The more I watch Bayless the more I think he could be another Miller, but with a better shot.

450 million to make and advertise a movie…..yikes
let’s say they make 350 million in theaters worldwide

they should have just opened it in May.
it would have lasted all summer that way. wouldn’t have to worry about bad weather hurting sales (like it apparently did back East). Better chance of repeat viewings from teenage boys. plus, it would still win all the technical Oscars. They must have really thought it would contend for best picture. it might get one of the noms now just because it’s a 10 picture category now, but it’s got no shot to win.
by DrivetheLane on Dec 20, 2009 9:13 PM PST up reply actions
Not every movie is The Dark Knight
For many movies, their shelf life is shorter in May, even blockbusters. They simply make big money fast then disappear. For every Up, Hangover or Star Trek there are three or four Transformer 2’s.
I think they just didn’t want to open against any other major movie, for fear it would be dwarfed (this movie required a big opening weekend). I’d guess they probably preferred to have opened a month ago (getting the full Thanksgiving to Christmas stretch) if it wasn’t for Twilight messing up the earnings curve.
especially if the weather gets really nice, people might be less likely to go to the theatre after a long cold winter

you may have a point about not wanting to open against other big movies.
I think they did the late opening thing for Oscars. And no, not every movie is the Dark Knight, but that’s one of the best movies of recent memory. I just think this would have made more money in the summer. Fact is, it probably just isn’t a good enough movie, apart from the technical stuff, to do huge huge huge business. it’s not a repeat viewer.
by DrivetheLane on Dec 20, 2009 9:35 PM PST up reply actions
I think it may have been comparable to Watchmen in terms of Summer release
Heavily hyped, technically proficient and interesting to look at, people disagree on quality of storyline. Avatar (I can’t confirm this since I haven’t seen it) likely has the more mainstream accessible storyline.
Watchmen might have done better outside of Summer, with more hype to itself.
It works both ways though. Star Trek was moved from a Thanksgiving opening to a May opening, and it worked like gangbusters. A complete revival of a franchise.
The box office can be pretty fickle.
i think you're right that Watchmen probably has a more accessible storyline.
the problem, though, is that I don’t think it’s a good idea to put story/plot/etc behind technical stuff in terms of how you make the movie. Watchmen had an advantage with a great storyline. that should have been much much better.
by DrivetheLane on Dec 20, 2009 9:45 PM PST up reply actions
It's probably a little disconcerting to the movie studio that Avatar didn't break the December record
That still belongs to I Am Legend two years ago. Avatar might have broken it if no storm rolled through.
I think they’re really interested in next week. Some people are calling this the Geek Titanic (somewhat ominous in some ways). But 12 years ago, Titanic actually made more money in its second weekend.
I’ll be curious if Avatar will even beat out Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel next weekend.
BTW the really impressive box office stat is The Blind Side. Wow. Sandra Bullock is simply becoming a bigger actress as she ages. That’s a rarity.
Geek Titanic.....haha
the storm certainly doesn’t help. neither does the 3 hour run time. The second weekend will be pretty interesting. it’ll be Alvin I think. The Princess Frog? hmm….
by DrivetheLane on Dec 20, 2009 9:52 PM PST up reply actions
Princess and the Frog took a 50% drop
With a new kid’s release (Chipmunks), Princess/Frog is done, even though it may have a higher gross for a holiday weekend.
that's true.
Alvin might have more of a chance than I think. I can’t remember how the last one did.

It was a monster hit, to everyone's surprise.
$217 million in the US alone after a $45 opening weekend.
Sometimes a sequel to a surprise hit will bomb (hello Tomb Raider 2!). But it should do decent business since it’s opening at the right time with little competition.

Yeah, check this out.
Roy – Clearly will go down as one of the greatest bballers of all time.
Oden – Best big man since Hakeem until he becomes the best since Wilt.
Aldridge – Imagine Karl Malone combined with Rasheed and put into a thoroughbred.
Rudy – Rudy > MJ, nuf sed
Batum – Greatest defender of all time will average a double double in a season.. for steals and blocks.
Bayless – UNSTOPPABLE
Dante – Epic role player and future 6th man of the year who will have a bet with Nic to see who can posterize more NBA defenders.

I keep thinking that the big guy is supposed to be with them :(
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
He is an entirely different kind of awesome.
Watching him go off is like watching some phenomenal event… like a star exploding or a volcano erupting. It’s almost unreal. Plus, he was loving it out there so much; it made me love watching games even more than before, even though they team struggled to adjust, because watching him get excited and having fun realizing that no one can actually stop him was priceless.
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
I love it when he gets really pumped up
and claps his hands all the way down the court. We don’t have anyone else that does that.
Rudy would get pumped after he would make a three, but besides those two no one really gets emotional like that.
No words.
#52
I know, it's hard to remember we actually started playing him.
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
Maybe because he wasn't allowed to play when Oden was playing.
The team that was playing around Greg was a very stoic bunch except for Rudy.. and a little bit of Martell. Especially because he also didn’t have Travis for most of it, he also can give you some emotion.
But yeah. Bayless is way more emotional than even Rudy. He is so excited to be playing; it’s like when I get home and my dog is just so happy to see me that she rolls around and flops herself every which way. Bayless acts like a puppy, but I like the energy
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
yeah
There is something about seeing Greg being that emotional. Very few big men in the history of the NBA have such a great mix of emotion and control at such a young age. He is.. just so awesome.
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
Yes, because last year he was so down for parts of the season.
And everyone had to keep calling him out on it. And the Blazers won in spite of it. But it was such a different Greg who came into this season. I really hope we get to keep this Greg when he comes back to training camp next year.
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
It'll work.
It just don’t make no sense if it doesn’t. It is basic. A great guard and a good center. It is not that complicated.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
if you call Brandon “great” then Greg is “great,” because he was just as good this year as Brandon was last year, plus tremendous defense.

I really want this to be true.
I have to believe it will be, too. But how many plays did we see involving Brandon and Greg? How many of them succeeded? I’d just feel so much better if they could have had more time.
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
That is just it
B Roy wasn’t himself earlier in the season. Just cuz he wasn’t doesn’t mean the two can’t get along. That is like a negative negative negative.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
He wasn't on.
And the team was adjusting in a lot of ways. I know. I still want to see it work. The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
This is about the first time we’ve seen some ball movement that was comparable to the last 20 games of last year.
It would be very nice to see Oden and company playing together when the ball is moving like it was tonight. There will be a lot of dishes to Greg like Bayless gave LMA tonight. I think we’d probably have a completely different perception of how Roy & Oden play together if Oden could have been in a game like we saw tonight.
I actually felt like they were trying to move it against Orlando , but Orlando was just doing a good job of shutting it down.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
Greg has a nice touch and head for passing.
If we can just get him and keep him on the floor, he will be great. And Brandon should be able to learn how to play off of that and get a lot of easy perimeter and slashing looks. And Lamarcus should be able to learnto play off of that and use his athleticism and skill to kill on rebounds, fast breaks, and midrange J.
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
It was funny (ironic, not haha) that you brought up Greg.
There were several times in this game I was thinking how great it would be to see Greg in there. And frankly, I haven’t thought about that for awhile.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
Most of the time offense sets can’t have guys out there thinking about what they want to do with the ball (I say most because I realize not every set will be perfect), or where there counterparts are located on the floor.
I was impressed with Orlando on several sets night before last. They would be swinging the ball and on the last pass of the swing when the pass began the guy receiving the pass wouldn’t even be in place when the pass started. But then boom, he would appear just at the right moment. They did this several times in the game. If you can run an offense like that you also have a better idea on defense what the other team is trying to do.
I’m starting to see why AK had hire Stan Van Gundy in his sig. (Or something like that)

I was just re-reading that post and thinking the same thing!
I want to believe that this group just needs time playing together to get to that level of offense, but Nate has not shown himself to be a great maximizer of talent on the offensive end. And other teams do incorporate new players much better than the Blazers have with Miller.
#25 - No more than three at a time, ladies.
I mean I do talk basketball, I’m just not sure if much of can be called wisdom.
But yeah, that’s probably our biggest enemy right now, we just haven’t had the time together. And when we finally get some time logged, Greg goes down and we have to adjust again. At least some of the bad taste of this season is for the moment looking like we can still have some fun this year, and some good basketball.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
The thing I like about Rudy is he’s always watching for when his guy takes his eyes off of him, and then he cuts. Plus he creates a lot of his own picks by rubbing his guy off.
I’m no coach but I’ve always thought we should throw in some sets where each and every player notices when his guy watches the ball and then cut immediately.
Some of those bad games we had recently the other team was cheating so bad it was ridiculous, but we just stood around. Man that looks bad when 3 guys are standing there. I realize some plays are drawn up that way to free up the middle. But when the other team is cheating the whole game like that you gotta try something else.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
yeah, we make it really easy to play defense when we stand still. Rudy is rad because he knows how to annoy the entire defense by himself.

Nice game from Roy and LMA and Martell and Bayless and Dre. That’s all it takes to win a close one against a mediocre Eastern team these days!
I really liked the Heat announcers, they called a great and fair game.
#52
You guys have likely talked the game to death already-- I shift-a'd so I didn't see
I like how Spoelstra ran out of timeouts, how Beasley just lets muscle man LMA get position 2 feet away from the hoop, and how Marty bounced back from an awful shooting night. And howzabout Bayless, still hitting that corner 3…
Fun game, I was worried it’d be ANOTHER keep-it-even-for-3-quarters-and-lose game, but Roy showed why he is Roy.

I didn’t like how we let Beasley waltz right to the bucket.
Did the refs mess up those time outs for them, or did they really use them?

We could also take Kwame Brown, put Greg next to him, and say "see, now that was a wrong #1 pick..."

I wonder if expirings might be worth it… but, even though Chalmers was benched, he had a very good rookie year and I just remembered it was punishment for being late to a practice.
So that, plus what happened during the rookie thingy the NBA does where he was smoking pot, likely means he has some maturity issues.

So many more charismatic and prettier girls down here who “deserve” to be in stuff, while someone who is like cardboard is successful…

It had too much sauce
But, it was good I guess. For fast food. I don’t think it’d be so special to everyone if it wasn’t always for a limited time.
It might be my last McRib, so I will always cherish it.

I normally only get chicken sandwiches if I eat fast food
Probably just as bad for me as their hamburgers but I like to pretend I’m being healthy.

I hope they’re not like those old chicken nuggets, when we finally found out what was in them, we all barfed. I remember it well, the whole country collectively barfed together.

I think it was a bunch of stuff you’d normally never eat from a chicken.

As long as it was from a chicken, I'm cool with it.
I eat everything on a chicken except for the liver, and bones.

Some people like them bones, the crunchy ones on the wings. I ain’t ever tried ‘em.
And yes, they do eat them.

McDonald’s Chicken McNugget is 56% corn + 38 other things, but i think these are the new ones.
But perhaps the most alarming ingredient in a Chicken McNugget is tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ, an antioxidant derived from petroleum that is either sprayed directly on the nugget or the inside of the box it comes in to “help preserve freshness.” According to A Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives, TBHQ is a form of butane (i.e. lighter fluid) the FDA allows processors to use sparingly in our food: It can comprise no more than 0.02 percent of the oil in a nugget. Which is probably just as well, considering that ingesting a single gram of TBHQ can cause “nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse.” Ingesting five grams of TBHQ can kill."

eeeewww it get worse
The 2004 documentary Super Size Me alleged that McNuggets were made from sick chickens unable to lay eggs, and that they included chemicals such as TBHQ (a preservative), Dimethylpolysiloxane (an anti-foaming agent), and other ingredents not used by a typical home cook. While, in 2005, these two ingredients are not listed by McDonalds USA as being in McNuggets, they are listed as ingredients of other McDonalds foods. McNuggets do contain genetically modified ingredients.

I’ll take spam spam spam over McDonalds any day.
I like to slice it, oh I don’t know, about a ¼ inch thick. Then fry it like bacon, goes great with scrambled eggs.

I’ve had that too. Great minds spam alike!!
Seems like I also used to put scrambled eggs on 2 pieces of toast with honey (no spam in this case).
For now I refuse to look up the ingredients of spam.
But I feel confident it’s not too bad.

Glad that I'm always eating Big Macs, Double Whoppers and Big Steakhouses ;)
Those are way healthier… I think… probably not.
Honestly I very rarely eat chicken or fish at fast food restaurants, except for a store in Europe that is specialized on sea food, and as a kid one that was specalized on grilled chicken (not fried) after swimming for an hour but those have become rare.
I’m pretty sure Big Macs, Double Whoppers and Big Steakhouses
are part of the 4 basic food groups. You’re probably safe.
Those McDonald’s apple pies aren’t too bad. I like ‘em.

It’s nothing, my heart beats 30 times a minute at times.
Freaks the general doctors out so they won’t let me do the treadmill test I need for work, but the cardiologist said I would outlive him.

You might be able to rival Jonestr riding a bike with that
Some pro riders have crazy low heart rates. Miguel Indurain was notorious for it.
It was always about 30 a minute when I was running 100 miles a week in high school.
Now it only goes down there when I fast for that treadmill test.
The cardiologists thinks it was my heart back then, but I’m not so sure, I never felt it skip back then.

Trevor Ariza's PER stands at 13.5
That is below league average, and below his career average. Didn’t Jake or Cabbie say he would be so efficient?
Whoa, his shooting and FTs are awful
But he’s got a TON of steals.
39% from the field from a SF, 64% from the line. A lot of threes, though.
#52
17 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals
It would likely be more efficient if he wasn’t keyed in on by defenders so much.
#52
yeah, I admit I expected him to be a lot better offensively.
I missed pretty badly there. Still time to pick it up, and I think he will, but its been much more of a struggle than I thought.
Landry is their MVP this year, by far.
#52
I would be playing him more, but they do have a lot of good 4/5 options
in Scola, Landry, Hayes and Anderson. I would think Landry should be playing 30+ with Anderson playing less, but that’s just me.
#52
So, does he have a low PER because his shooting percentages are awful?
Doesn’t that put a hole in the argument people use against PER that it rewards people for shooting more?
#52
I don’t think I said that… maybe.
