Junk Drawer - 12/4/09 - Holiday Movie Edition

One of my favorite parts of this holiday season is watching Christmas movies. Over the years I've worked up a Christmas movie rotation. These are movies I try to watch all of or at least most of (if I catch them on TV) at least once during the Christmas season. Christmas movies generally revolve around the same themes: family togetherness, the magic of imagination, warm fuzzies. Sure, they can be corny, but that's part of the fun sometimes.
My rotation consists of classics and modern day movies alike. A couple of them are getting harder and harder to catch on TV and some are pretty ubiquitous around this time. Without further ado, my rotation:
First, of course, is what I consider the greatest Christmas movie, A Christmas Story. It's not even so much about Christmas as it is about the time of year. And to me, it captures what it's like to be 8-10 years old right around Christmas time: the anticipation, the excitement, the spector of disappointment. Here's a clip that capture the general hilarity of the movie as well as the idea that the excitement doesn't just stop with the children at Christmas time.
Second, is Home Alone. I've watched this pretty much every year since I can remember. Hilarious. Some of the finest slapstick work you'll see. Plus, like George Costanza, that old man gets to me.
Next, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Maybe the best "Vacation" movie. HIjinks ensue. Chevy Chase does moronic, but good hearted, well intentioned stuff as well as creating the most tremendous exterior illumination display this side of Tim Taylor. And Cousin Eddy commits a traditional holiday kidnapping.
The other big one for me is a fairly recent Christmas classic, Elf. Will Ferrell knocks this out of the park. Here's the scene that slays me every single time and also kind of captures the spirit of the movie.
A quick rundown of a few others: the original Miracle on 34th Street, the version of A Christmas Carol starring Alastair Sim, Love Actually, the cartoon version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and A Peanuts Christmas.
Lastly, my Dad had a video camera. So we have pretty much every christmas recorded on home video from 1988 until the late 90s. My siblings and I all loved watching these together every year. Now, it doesn't happen so much as we're all busier, it's harder to plan a time, and no one has a VCR. One year, my brother attempted to transfer the tapes to DVD, but with little success. Still, these are probably my favorite Christmas movies to watch. I don't have a clip. But suffice it to say the first home video featurs me running around the living room in a circle at the age of six in my pj's singing Jingle Bells.
I'm not doing a poll because there is no way I will be able to fit every Christmas movie people would want to vote for so let everyone know in the comments. I encourage everyone to enjoy at least one Christmas movie this year if you're needing an extra boost of holiday spirit.

scrooged, christmas vacation
there are a few fun action movies that are christmas related: die hard, and lethal weapon
i didn't include the action movies.
i don’t consider them christmas movies, per se. I did forget the muppet version of A Christmas Carol. That one is pretty good.

I get 39, 40, 46, 50, 46, 48 the next week
All sunny, except one day where it might snow a tiny bit. Much warmer late fall/early winter than last year. Just the darkness at 5 pm gets on my nerves a bit.

early darkness kills me too. It was the worst thing when I lived in Glasgow. Madrid is more tolerable on that.
Hoping for a snowy Christmas, dying to go to the slopes…
Sierra Nevada?
Friends of mine have a house in the middle of nowhere in Sweden. I always wanted to spend a Christmas there in the deep snow. Not this year though. Worst Christmas I ever had in terms of Christmas feeling was on. Fuerteventura

Here we go with the draw for the soccer world championships 2010
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
The system is pretty complicated, separated by regions. But since there are way more European teams, something like a set favorite at the top of a group and a “second tier” team like the Netherlands might happen. If the US comes into such a group, good luck.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
great draw for the USA
In all likelihood, the US will get smashed by England, but Algeria and Slovenia are as beatable as the US could have hoped for.
Draft Ryan Wittman
spain has one of the easiest groups
switzerland, honduras and chile.
The group of death has to be Brazil, Portugal and Ivory Coast. Poor North Koreans are gonna get smashed.
Agree with jake, USA has good chances to get to the playoff round.
Oh what a beautiful day

I was worried about Portgual

I'm not that worried about France
Look set for a faceplant, even with the easy group.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
very likely
since we’d probably be 2nd in our group, we’d play the group D winners— likely Germany.

Group G wow
and Spain will have a difficult round of 16 matchup no matter what. Spain-Portugal would be exciting.
Draft Ryan Wittman
You and everyone in the world
Except those in Spain/Brazil since it means one of the early favorites will be out in the second round.

World to NK
Thanks for coming, now drop dead.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
NK was so freaking lucky
Iran stumbled very badly in its last few matches, otherwise they would be in instead of NK.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Problem with that team is nobody has ever played against it
But probably one of the easier opponents.

" Welcome to the Bedge....where good, is never good enough"…Rudiculous
Interesting WC Fact
European teams suck in WCs played outside of Europe. Could be interesting that.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
But South Africa is in the same time zone. So only adaptation to the heat and in some cities height required.

Draft Ryan Wittman
I am not anything close to an expert, but I know Ivory Coast is really good and Portugal has choked in the WC before.
Draft Ryan Wittman
Ivory Coast are dependent totally on Drogba
Probably the top goal scorer in the world honestly. If he plays well, they advance but if he plays like last time, they’ll be out early.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I feel like he does do a lot of things that we don’t see, so I was unfair in saying that he only launches jump shots. He hedges on the pick and roll well, he defends on the perimeter well on switches… he really could complement Oden beautifully.
But I am sick of egos and poor effort. I’m quite conflicted. If there’s one thing that just kills me, it’s players not giving effort.
i cry for nic
The effort thing works my nerves too
But you need to also factor in that he’s been playing injured for the last month. Knee contusions are usually quite painful.
The stuff synergy showed
Is the stuff I always say he does well, but he hasn’t been as good at it this year… so it surprised me when Synergy ranked him as really good at it. He usually is, but he has moved so lazily and without aggression this year… either I am wrong (and all of us), or LMA lazily defending in the modern PF way is still pretty good.
I believe he has been underrated defensively because he doesn’t block a lot of shots, and he isn’t an interior menace. But, he moves his feet well, shows on pick and rolls (he rarely gets beat on them), deflects passes, covers shooters, recovers well, rotates (in the past) very well… etc.
That stuff combined is better than shotblocking, though to me this year he just hasn’t been that good at all of that stuff. And extra weak on the interior.
Could be the knee, but I assume it’s a combo of being hobbled AND moody and lame about the lesser role.
Alexi Lalas: "if you are France, you should go to Vegas right now"
Yeah, incredibly lucky they (a) get through on that handball and (b) get South Africa’s group, though Mexico and Uruguay are good enough to challenge them.

I didn't watch any of the game last night
I feel the pangs of missing a good game; but, i did, by mere chance, discover a new favorite local artist to spend the next year trying to plagiarize. Funny story though, I went into a small gallery last night and some of the artists were huddled around a laptop watching the game on espn360. It’s at this point I realized how close the game was, and realized the future of my remorse.

Would you have liked for KP to move Raef for a player like Carter or Jefferson even if that ate most of our cap space, i.e. no Miller?
Both past their primes, but sure wouldn’t be that bad being our wing scorer now, right?

Even though I advocated trading for Vince Carter at the time, I look back at it now and worry about ...
how porous the perimeter defense would’ve been with a wing duo of Carter and Brandon Roy.

If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
looks like Figgins is now very likely to sign with the Ms
I like that deal for them.
Draft Ryan Wittman
me too i think.
will like it even more if Beltre signs for way less money. He wasn’t nearly as bad as an M as some would believe. He’s a good #6 type hitter I think. and then the defense gets better with Beltre at 3rd, Figgins at 2nd. But the top of the order with Ichiro and Figgins will be scary fast. They still need a big bat though….
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
Figgins is extremely versatile, that's the nice thing about him.
I think Beltre will move on. Great defensive player, good hitter— bad offensive fit for that ballpark.
Draft Ryan Wittman
sure, but they got contact hitters.
i’m talking about a guy that’s a legit long ball threat. Branyan isn’t gonna cut it I don’t think. I think they’ll end up having to get lucky in the farm system with a power guy. You think Figgins might be able to influence Lackey? That’d be awesome.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
what's the use of paying a power hitter
when the park isn’t laid out for that? Let’s get a bunch of guys who hit it down the line for doubles and triples, and defend like crazy. Especially if we get Lackey – then we will have starting pitching galore. – Elgin
Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
because you play half your games
in places that aren’t as pitcher friendly. I don’t know the stats, but Safeco is usually one of the top pitcher friendly places in baseball. I mean, how many time do the M’s play in Arlington? You need at least 2 power hitters in your lineup to compete in the AL.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
good point
It would be interesting to try to figure out how to characterize the other ballparks that the Mariners play in, and whether it is cost-effective to have power hitters if a significant amount of their road games are played in parks similar to Safeco. – Elgin
Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
in my mind, the Angels are one of the perfectly built AL teams.
sure, BOS and NY win, but that’s cause they can afford the superior talent. But the Angels crafted a balanced lineup where they have lots of speed and defense, but they also have the power guys (Hunter, Vlad, Abreu). Now, Vlad and Abreu aren’t what they once were, but that’s 3 power guys instead of two. I think if the M’s got another power guy and Branyan can duplicate last year in terms of homers, they’d be really good. Pitching, of course, has a ton to do with it.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
Angels deserve a lot of credit
They are lucky to have their owner who seems totally into it. – Elgin
Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
Moreno was one of the best things to happen to that organization.
but it’s not like the M’s won’t shell out the dough. they just need to give it to the right guys.

The latest resurrection of man cleavage does raise a not-so insignificant issue: to wax or not? For a number of years, any male chest hair was considered a fashion don’t, but very recently a thin thatch has become quite acceptable. The low-cut look “is better if you have a little chest hair,” says Tyler Thoreson, a New York-based men’s style consultant. “It’s not about showing off chest hair, it’s about it peeking out a little bit.”

Both he and Bass are not utilized in Orlando
I for one, would be happy with either in Portland playing 15-20 mpg as a backup big man
The Blazerverse and The Wire: A comparison
Brandon Roy = Stringer Bell (smooth technician dedicated to his craft)
Nate McMillan = Cedric Daniels (well intentioned leader, but he can be too rigid for his own good at times)
Martell Webster = Wee Bey Brice (straight up solider who follows orders; every organization needs these guys to be successful)
Jerryd Bayless = Marlo Stanfield (he's new to the game, but he's watching and waitng; he will take over and there will be casualties)
Rudy Fernandez = Jimmy McNulty (he gets results, but the leadership wishes he was less of a wild man; the ladies love him)
Greg Oden = Michael Lee (he started off a quiet kid, but he's beginning to tap in to his huge potential to change the game)
Andre Miller = Lester Freamon (do not let the laconic demeanor fool you, the veteran knows what's up)
John Canzano = Scott Templeton (scummy muckraker who stays up at night polishing his award)
Marcin Gortat deserves a chance to start somewhere, so Portland would be ill-suited for him.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
OKC could use both Marcin Gortat and Brandon Bass.
If OKC renounced its cap holds on Robert Swift, Malik Rose, Danny Fortson, and Randy Livingston, then the Thunder could trade Nick Collison and filler (e.g., Shaun Livingston) for both Gortat and Bass.

What's so hard about trying RAMWO?
Where’s the reasoning for avoiding Andre and Martell starting together?
I’m honestly not sure it’s the perfect fit either. But why try so hard to avoid it?
The almighty second unit must be protected at all costs.
(uh, Nate, we keep getting down by 12 points in the first 1 minute of the game with the 1st unit)
I get the paper, so I don't care!
If Brandon starts at SF tomorrow night, I'll be so frustrated
I’d actually rather have Rudy there, accepting the negatives involved, to keep Brandon in his natural position.
It would be increasing frustrating to see Brandon shunted out of natural position whenever Andre starts.
With Oden/Aldridge/Fernandez/Roy/Miller on the court
doesn’t Roy play the small forward?
I’d rather see Webster start and Rudy come off the bench. I don’t see why Webster should be punished. – Elgin
Travis Outlaw, the Funnel Cake of the Blazers
I assume Roy plays SF as well
I’d rather Rudy take that job, despite the problems that will entail.
I’d rather Rudy be out of position than Brandon. I’d rather see Martell start with Andre rather than Rudy.
My assumption as well.
But if Brandon is guarding the opponent’s SF, that was one of his problems during the previous stint. He’d be out of position on defense.
Yeah, that's exactly correct.

I wonder if they're allowed to bring in fresh bodies (recently retired players, people trying to crack the NBA) for practices
Of if that’s against league rules.
I don’t know exactly, I think rather not allowed though you need to have 11 active players at all times (12 really, but you can file for exemptions). I do know if you would bring in an unguaranteed player and he gets injured his contract gets instantly guaranteed. So few teams would do that. It’s also a risk with inviting too many guys to training camp and pre-season. Happened to Miami and Orlando last year.

It was a out-of-league scrimmage….had refs and stuff, but they weren’t in our league.
8 minute quarters and I dropped 35 points…we ended up blowing an 8 point halftime lead and losing by 4 though…so it sucked. So did bouncing off the floor when their big man went Bill Laimbeer on me.

they have a booth at the Rose Garden where they can make any jersey. That’s where I got my Roy one because they were out at the fan shop. They might have some blank ttype ones they can fix up. Chances for that are slim though I bet since it’s a speciatly thing.

I’m glad that the Netanyahu described at the end of it isn’t Benjamin (who is unbearable) but his brother. Most of it is more entertaining than really historically greatly researched, but still a funny look through history. My favorite so far from thumping across the book might be a Soviet bomber pilot from a unit know as the ‘Night Witches’. She flew enough raids to collect the equivalent of 40 honorable discharges in the US air force at that time. And was downed twice, survived without a parachute, and fought back across enemy lines while dragging her injured navigator along only to go on the next kamikaze mission.
I also liked a listing of badass weapons, and decidedly not badass kings.

Bowie was injured with stress fractures in college already and had pretty mediocre stats.

Not to forget Rudy and Sergio buyouts from Phoenix of course. Simmons also has a section on what if the owner of the Suns wasn’t such a cheapskate.
Nash, Johnson, Iguodala/Deng, Marion, Amare, Rudy, plus more role player picks would have been very possible. Instead they traded down from Iguodala/Deng, to Rondo, to Rudy, to nothing, to less than nothing paying OKC 2 picks to take Kurt Thomas off their hands. Basically they traded 3 good first rounders away in order to not pay Johnson, and then gave that money to Q-Rich and Markus Banks. For the win!

Wade's explosiveness and propensity to attack the rim leads to him drawing a lot more fouls
Wade also gets a lot more assists.
Draft Ryan Wittman
the fact that Wade doesn't have a very good jumpshot
has something to do with that as well.
Also, there’s a clear difference in the way they are utilized by their teams — Miami uses Wade more to create shots for their teammates because they lack guys who can score on their own. Portland, on the other hand, has guys like Aldridge, Oden, Fernandez, etc. who can all create their own shot and Nate uses them that way with isos and the like.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"

I’m not sure I’d want my star shooting guard to attack the rim as much as Wade does. The punishment he takes night in and night out has shown before in some of the problems he’s had with his back and other injuries.

Brandon Roy = Stringer Bell (smooth technician dedicated to his craft)
Nate McMillan = Cedric Daniels (well intentioned leader, but he can be too rigid for his own good at times)
Martell Webster = Wee Bey Brice (straight up solider who follows orders; every organization needs these guys to be successful)
Jerryd Bayless = Marlo Stanfield (he's new to the game, but he's watching and waitng; he will take over and there will be casualties)
Rudy Fernandez = Jimmy McNulty (he gets results, but the leadership wishes he was less of a wild man; the ladies love him)
Greg Oden = Michael Lee (he started off a quiet kid, but he's beginning to tap in to his huge potential to change the game)
Andre Miller = Lester Freamon (do not let the laconic demeanor fool you, the veteran knows what's up)
John Canzano = Scott Templeton (scummy muckraker who stays up at night polishing his award)

I don't think that's that bad. He is still doing a good diabolic impression.
The movie where they packed it full with stars was the atrocious one. Nicholson’s comedies also aren’t bad, even though he obviously doesn’t give full effort at times.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
Regarding comedies, Jack Nicholson is currently filming another James L. Brooks movie.
As it is, I liked As Good as It Gets. I also enjoyed Brooks’ most recent feature film, Spanglish, which pulled a good performance out of Adam Sandler. Concerning Nicholson and Sandler together, however, I didn’t like Anger Management whatsoever.

Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
I know Dave felt the situation is a no-win for Nate
But I think the opposite. Nate gets a reprieve from the pressure for a few days, while his hand-picked assistant coach takes over. Then he’ll get a fresh chance with the guys after the trip.
It does seem as if Dave is getting a bit defensive for Nate McMillan.
If anyone gets too much blame around here, it’s Steve Blake. It’s not Blake’s fault for starting, as that’s what the coaching staff — as well as Brandon Roy seemingly — asks from him.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
I've been on record a few times reminding folks that if they're mad at Blake, they're actually mad at Nate.
Nobody’s going to turn a coach down if he tells them to play lots of minutes.
I try hard not to bag on Brandon, because I think it’s really over the top right now. But I will say this: If Brandon really wanted to sacrifice for the team, he’d walk into the coach’s hospital room and tell him that he’ll make it work with Andre and Webster, so move Blake to the bench.
The odd thing is that Brandon probably really likes playing with Blake and Travis a lot. While he probably also respects what Miller can do from playing against him, he himself is mediocre when playing off the ball, knows that and doesn’t seem to have much desire to change it after having success with that way so far. So what he needs around him more than anything are spot-up shooters who he can serve the ball to if he himself gets stuck. Blake is good for that, and Travis maybe even better because he can get off a shot even if a guy is draped all over him. Rudy is nice too with his constant moving off the ball – which Roy for some reason has not incorporated into his game. Webster and Batum can at least hit the corner 3. I wouldn’t put it past Roy if he would prefer to have a guy like Z or Okur who can shoot from mid- to long range at center too. And LMA playing like Dirk.
What he does not want is another player dominating the ball. Baron Davis would be a nightmare for him. Or AI. He didn’t enjoy playing with Paul a lot either.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
The Synergy stats that Ben posted seem to show Roy is a better catch and shoot player
Than an iso guy so is it Nate’s fault that he runs lots of iso’s and dosen’t use screens where he is much more effective or is Roy just doing what he likes to do?

Russia’s Federal Security Service blamed the incident on an improvised explosive device that had been placed beneath the tracks by unknown bombers. It was the most lethal terrorist act outside of Russia’s troubled North Caucasus region since 2004.

Storage gets dropped off this morning
That is pretty much everything I own. I am on my air mattress right now in my new place, stealing someone’s wifi.
I bought a fridge off of Craigslist for 100 bucks with free delivery, and it’s much nicer than I expected. Seems in perfect shape, is really cold, and (most important to me) has no old fridge smell. That was nice.
A friend just happened to mention to me that he’s getting a new couch, and I’m like “well I have no couch” so he is giving me his and dropping it off for funsies tomorrow. So, that is nice too.
I hired some dudes to help me unload everything for a few hours, but all I really need them to do is unload my uber heavy TV, help me carry my non-heavy but awkward bed, heavy bookshelves and boxes of books, etc. Not much really. They were a company I found on Craigslist as well, super cheap.
So, tomorrow I spend the day arranging everything, and then Sunday my cable and internet get hooked up at the same time. I’ll likely have more arranging to do, but I’ll be done at that point I believe. Everything all settled in.
Oh, it’s kinda weird and I didn’t notice it, but my tiny kitchen doesn’t have a silverware drawer, and barely half a junk drawer! So, since I cook and use a kitchen a lot, I gotta get a thin-but-wide thingy with drawers that I can put off to the side, so I can put the silverware in the drawers and other kitchen crap. Seems like such an obvious thing to not have, but until I started putting what little I have right now away, I was like “hey… wait a minute”.
I like my place though
Perfect size for one magical boy like myself, and of course the price and location and that it is an actual 1 bedroom were things I didn’t think I’d be able to get in the rush of getting a place.
AND I didn’t wear out my welcome with my friends, and in fact I think they wish I wasn’t leaving. Especially the wife, who beforehand never liked me (I always thought she just didn’t know me, even though she has known me since 2000), but we got along great and I was good with the kids so she will miss me being around to entertain the monsters.
I am glad I got into my own place while things were still perfect with them, so we can keep it happy and perfect and not make me being there a chore.
nice. I hate it when the drawers are placed in dumb areas. We rented a house while our house was being built and most of the drawers were on the wrong side of the kitchen. So annoying.
Didya hear that JVG called out Roy a little bit tonight? Said that the five best players should be on the floor.
i cry for nic
I didn't hear it
I saw the fanshot and wrote that AK’s toes curled when he heard it.
I don’t know any details really though.
I can’t wait until Roy gets his head straight and starts being Brandon Roy.
I was thinking today, we always say that you need at least two top ten players… Well… if Brandon becomes Brandon, that’s two top ten players if Greg makes a small step next year.
We have a big two.
i cry for nic
w0rd
Brandon was a for-sure top 10 player last year and can be again, and Oden would be way up there if he’d just foul less. If he isn’t a top 10 next season, he will be soon, and at least be a for-sure top 3 at his position.
Since Oden is a defensive player first and his offense is only just coming around, he doesn’t need to be a top 10 player, just one of the best at his position.
oh, and the Lakers rallied from 4 down with 9 seconds left to beat Miami in regulation. Three by Fisher, 1 of 2 FT from Wade, Hedo-esque bank three by Kobe to win.
i cry for nic
Haha, lame for both Tiger and LA winning.

he’s such an odd fit in LA to me. You have the Rick Foxes, the Kobe Bryants…then you have a classy guy in Fisher. It just don’t seem right having such a cool dude in the midst of such blams!
Derek Fisher is supposedly a good buffer between Kobe Bryant and the rest of the team.

Andre Miller doesn't fit the triangle offense.

I think Nate is just being vague
He said something like “well we have him now”, right?
If we trade him before letting him START as the PG in a real lineup, I’ll be annoyed.
Oh yeah, and one more thing
Kobe sucks. Of the last few possessions, he has turnovers, missed shots, and a lucky bank. whoopdeedoo.
Just watched Blind Side....really good movie.
Good movie to go to…’specially with your wife/gf/significant other.
Not that any of us have any, according to Tinfoil.
Sunday Night Football sort of ripped that movie
They all said it was good but they made the black guy seem a lot dumber than real life when it comes to football.
Start Andre Miller NOW to showcase him for a trade.
yeah that was a really good movie!
did you tear up at all?

I didn't say you don't have one
I just said you aren’t getting any. Which to everyone but you is an insult.
But I love you :-(

Do you think it will be deleted?
I thought he was going to change the title to Junk Drawer and he didn’t.

I'm going to attempt to leave it open and save it
