9-10-10 A Happier Junk

Goodness, the last junk drawer got full. It's like the calm last weekend acted as a slingshot. Perhaps this junk drawer will start on a lighter note than recent drawers have.
The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts. Its purpose was simple from its infancy; a place where people could come and chat about all of the "whatevers" that didn't fit with the rest of the site and even be loose in terms of byplay and humor. The goal was to foster community...to let people who wanted to get to know each other outside of what they could discern from the strictly basketball posts. We've had happy JD's, sad ones, drawers that looked like a sharing circle, drawers that resembled open mic night at the comedy club... and people have really become a family here.
So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here. The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:
- Ad hominem attacks and swearing will never be tolerated
- Remember everything you write is visible publicly
- Don't use the JD call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.
- Copy and print the standard JD welcome message:
Be mindful that every image posted slows down the JD, so use discretion in how many you post (you can also link to images you want to share so that they will not overwhelm the JD). When you do post images, put something in the subject line of the comment so that the image can be minimized.

Be My Girl (Sally) by The Police
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my,
Be my girl
I was blue and lonely,
I couldn’t sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious
If I’d had to much to drink
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere,
And each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation
Were growing in my head
I needed inspiration,
A brand new start in life,
Somewhere to place affection,
But I didn’t want a wife
And then by lucky chance I saw
In a special magazine
An ad that was unusual,
The like I’d never seen,
“Experience something different
With our new imported toy,
She’s loving, warm, inflatible
And a guarantee of joy”
She came all wrapped in cardboard,
All pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed
To make her lose that frown
I took her to the bedroom
And pumped her with some life,
And later in a moment
That girl became my wife
And so I sit her in the corner
And sometimes stroke her hair
And when I’m feeling naughty
I blow her up with air
She’s cuddly and she’s bouncy,
She’s like a rubber ball,
I bounce her in the kitchen
And I bounce her in the hall
And now my life is different
Since Sally came my way
I wake up in the morning
And have her on a tray
She’s everything they say she was
And I wear a permanent grin,
And I only have to worry
In case my girl wears thin
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my,
Be my girl

but since i went to bed so early my body thought I was napping, so here I am! But I feel a lot better than I did before bad. The trick’s going to be staying up til a normal hour tonight wihout a nap

Anyone seen Michael Mann's THE KEEP?
Sposed to be based off the Golem legend. I never even HEARD of it, and I thought I saw all of Michael Mann’s movies. From 1983. It ain’t on Netflix so I’d have to make some effort to get it if I wanna see it.
Or anyone seen CIRCLE OF IRON, with David Carradine? I remember watching part of it on TV one night, and wondering why the main character, who was supposed to be a very young man setting out on his own in some fantasy world, was so damn old. It was kinda boring but seemed like a movie some would love a lot.

Is anyone else excited for the new Tron?
I saw a preview for it when I went to see Inception. I almost peed my pants.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I dunno
I feel ambivalent about it.
But I also don’t feel a big attachment to Tron. I liked it, of course, as a kid, but ain’t watched it in well over a decade or more.
#52
I haven't seen it since I was little
But I loved it. The video game, too.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
That's why it was a joke ya n00b
I had forgotten the name for Automan again, so to find it, I had to Google “the tron tv show”.
#52
It basically was the Tron spinoff show.
Elitist.
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
It'll be so dark
You won’t even be able to check your watch to see how much time is left in this boring movie.
#52
prolly true
i hate movies. Especially redux ones. Especially, ESPECIALLY ones that are dark/rough/gruff versions of the original ones.
I have had a pair of free movies passes sitting at my house for prolly 3 years, unused.
Although, the last movie I did see in theatres was the last Rambo one, and after it was over, I accidentally found myself in the Cloverleaf theatre next to it. I liked both but, there are just so many other options man.
I mean dark, like, "this screen is dark"
It looks like it’s being released under the Disney name, so it can’t be TOO dark.
#52
I will definitely see that in the theatre.
And 3d
Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?
I am hoping they don't ruin this
Part of me feels like there is a committee in Hollywood that is in charge of finding good things from my childhood, then beating them to death with a baseball bat. GI Joe is an example we recently discussed.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
There is a committee that finds thing from your childhood that you've heard of
And say “hey, they’ve heard of that, let’s make a movie of it”.
#52
They know you bozos will see it opening weekend either way.
They like to rub it in your faces.
So if it is bad, please don’t go see it! It’s insane how much GI Joe made.
#52
I wonder how much more work it is to make a movie like Batman Begins or X-men
Than something like GI Joe. They cost tons of money and man hours either way, and there are tons of talented people available to make it good.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
G.I. Joe wasn't very profitable, since it cost $175 million
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Wasn't it worldwide box office over 300 million?
Plus the new toys and whatnots….
It cost waaaay too much for how it looked, it was ridiculous.
#52
It is definitely more work and more care to make a good movie like the recent Batmans or first two X-Mens
It requires much discussion and worry and re-writes and etc. If it was just as easy as making a bad one, I think MOST would sincerely try to make it good.
It’s a lot easier to make it quick and breezy, like Gi Joe or the god-awful Fantastic Four movies… they make money, and that’s the whole point of their existence, so why not?
#52
No kidding.
I couldn’t finish either Transformer movie. SO BORING.
I’m glad I never gave GI Joe or Transformers none moneys.
#52
It just makes people think two thing
One, because of the name brand value, audiences will show up and it simply doesn’t matter if it is a lame movie. Making a good movie is hard; why make it hard? Just make money.
Two, it makes them think audiences LIKE bad movies. That while people complain about how bad, say, GI JOE was, they all still saw it.
#52
I saw GI Joe
But they didn’t get any of my money. If the reviews had been decent, they would have. I have to think that they could have made a lot more money by making even a mediocre movie.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
To me there was no reason it even had to be so expensive in the first place
They coulda’ made a lot more money on it than they did, but the budget was insane.
#52
I do feel that lots of people do like "dumb"
And they may not really, deep down, want GI Joe to be good.
The meaningless and thoughtlessness of it probably appeals to a lot of people on a certain level.
#52
I expected word of mouth to kill it
Since it had zero positive word of mouth.
I can’t remember what it came out against, but it feels like it also had no real competition. Right time.
#52
Early August, a quiet period.
G.I. Joe enlisted $54.7 million on approximately 5,900 screens at 4,007 sites, ranking as the fourth highest-grossing August opening ever, but a far cry from its Hasbro toyline stable mate, Transformers. Joe’s estimated attendance was a bit less than XXX, another action spectacle that opened on the same August weekend in 2002, and it was slightly higher than similar pictures like Mission: Impossible III and Wanted but less than the Fantastic Four movies.
No other major movies came out that weekend. This year’s equivalent is The Expendables.
I was surprised Wanted made so much when it came out
I guess that’s the sweet spot to release a generic looking action movie… summer almost over, kids ain’t in school yet though, and the big time releases have already come out.
#52
Timmay, what should I Watch Instantly right now?
I have 480 movies in my queue, I can’t make a choice. Has to be a perfect movie to watch right this second.
What, in your esteemed opinion, should I watch? Dan the Man, you can join in too!
#52
Sumthin' fun, I guess
Can be a classic, modern, anything, but preferably not something I’ve seen.
Fun and fun and new-to-me!
#52
Dang, just watched Warriors
Top Gun and Soldier I’ve seen, and I promised a friend we’d watch OVER THE TOP together.

Haha yeah, I've watched a lot of those.
Maybe what I should do, I’ll get some off my queue and you guys can tell me which to pick.

Cuz you turkeys got here through a link
I dunno why it does that sometimes, it’s weird. Because I did click it; I always do.
Since I’m paranoid about them randomly not opening in a new window, I always right-click ’em.
#52
Did You Know?
1993 was the year that Timmay decided to turn his life around, after watching the soul-changing TIME RUNNER.
#52
Wow, that is around the time I saw that.
Well, not all of it. I’m not sure anyone watched the whole thing.
It made you swear
That you were going to make something of your life, so you wouldn’t feel the need for a time machine in 20 years time.
#52
I passed by it a million times over the years, in video stores
My mom would drop me off at Hollywood Video and I’d just walk around and look at all the boxes and memorize stuff for hours. And then when I got my car at age 16, I did it even more.
It always popped out at me because it has Mark Hamill, looked awful, and looked like Blade Runner.
#52
Voodoo gets points for creativity
But I’ve never been wowed by the taste of the donuts. They’re not bad, they’re just fine.
Honorary mention goes to a donut/ice cream place on Alberta and 25th-ish. But only their old fashions. Their other stuff has been meh.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I've never been to Voodoo
Since it is famous-pants, I guess I should go next time I’m up.
I grew up in SW, but my parents live a half hour south of Portland now.

Yup that's right.
Although I find that the one on Sandy has less selection.

It is way bigger but that's because it has a place to sit and a video game.
Even has a parking lot which is the big benefit.

It’s different, and they have donuts you’ll just never see anywhere else. It just isn’t the place I go when I get a hankering for a donut.

I always hear about the bacon maple bar
But I hate hate hate maple bars.
My mom loves those, and old fashioneds, so she would bring those home sometimes. BARF maple bars are YUCKY DUCKY DOO.

I’m going to try their big donut in 100 seconds challenge.

No friends, everyone thought I was dumb, it was awful.
As soon as it was over, I ain’t looked back.

Everyone always says you make your best friends in college. While I had what I would consider close friendships in college, I’m not in touch with many of them anymore.

Yeah, I still got my good college friends
Some annoy me, some I love lots, but I keep in touch with them.
I literally speak to 0 people from HS, but no one liked me anyways so it’s no biggie. I didn’t go to the reunion or nuthin’.
I’ve made friends since college, and I feel like I need cooler friends right now.

I didn't go to my reunion either
I’m in touch with the people I want to be in touch with. That’s why I’m in touch with them. Most of my HS class were D-bags.

when my sister moved back to Portland, she bought a house three doors down from the house I grew up in (in SW). It was partly cool, partly odd. She recently moved across town, though.

Yep, relatively new
I should probably not spoil it for others by postulating here. I think I know what’s up though.
| #11 | #7 | #9 | #15 | #52 |
Ok Timmay and Everyone, what should I pick?
SUPERFLY TNT, the sequel to SUPERFLY (an actually good blaxploitation movie; dunno about the sequel).
INVADERS OF THE LOST GOLD.
The description pulled me in:
Low budget and high camp combine for a cult classic jungle adventure laden with sex and gore. When Japanese soldiers escorting a shipment of gold are ambushed by cannibals, survivors of the savage attack hide the loot, and a group of greedy businessmen hire mercenaries to recover the lost gold. But if the wild animals and hostile natives don’t get them, one of their own just might!
But the reviews, which I expected to be bad, make it sound like it might be just boring and not fun.
ORDER OF THE BLACK EAGLE. I ain’t likely gonna pick this one.
But check out the description:
Duncan Jax (Ian Hunter) and his tank-driving baboon infiltrate a South American lair where a group of Nazis scheme to revive a cryogenically frozen Adolf Hitler.
That just sounds too good to be able to mess up.
PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES.
Allegedly influenced lotsa other movies, like ALIEN, plus I like the director’s style.
I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN YOU, documentary.
Might be too heavy for right now:
the remarkable story of architect turned Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. After losing nearly 90 family members in the Holocaust and surviving a German death camp, Wiesenthal volunteered to help the American War Crimes Unit track down war criminals on the lam and went on to find more than 1,000 of them.
PHANTASM. I ain’t seen it all the way, it’s a classic, and I think it’s in the lead.
YEAR OF THE DOG.
Cutesy, can’t remember if people liked it, something lighter.
FOREIGN INTRIGUE. Film noir with Robert Mitchum. Looks good.
SUBWAY, starring the annoying Christopher Lambert.
But, it was directed by Luc Besson, who I’ve liked in the past.
THE DEAD POOL. Talking about it with EK the other day got it in my head. Ain’t seen it since it came out.
FOLLOWING, Christopher Nolan’s first movie. He directed the recent Batman movies and Inception.
Dunno what it about, really.
#52
I'm not much help here
But I’d give Nolan’s first movie a shot. He does good work.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Dang, I shoulda' numbered 'em
Phantasm, Year of the Dog, and which other two? I try to count but when someone comments it jumps the page around.
#52
Dirty Harry and Nolan's first one
I’d watch all of those.
Probably the Nolan one first and the Year of the Dog last.
| #11 | #7 | #9 | #15 | #52 |
Yeah
Phantasm and Planet of the Vamps both look like they could be interesting or at least funny (if they have aged badly).

Still on the Rex bandwagon.
i don't see how you even hesitate
Year of the Black Eagle
a guy called Duncan Jax + has a baboon with a tank-driving license + cryogenically frozen Hitler = i’m running to my closest torrent site already
WHAT?!?!?
it’s too much. This film should be considered “culturally relevant” and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
Well, they've got the trained baboons already
It would be irresponsible not to take advantage of their training.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Other Candidates (for funsies)
KILL A DRAGON, starring Jack Palance as the hero (which is rare).
General reviews are bad, but I heard it was good. Sounds good too:
American mercenary Rick Masters (Jack Palance) lives a life of carefree debauchery in Hong Kong until oppressed peasants from a nearby island hire him to help them defeat cruel crime lord Patrai (Fernando Lamas), who wants to claim valuable cargo that washed up on their shores. The volatile loot — a shipload of nitroglycerin — is worth a cool million, and Rick enlists two karate experts and a tour guide (Aldo Ray) for the explosive fight.
TINTORERA: KILLER SHARK
Supposed to have nice shark scenes, real sharks and all that. Nudity and gore.
This gruesome 1978 thriller follows the travails of two shark hunters, Miguel (Andrews Garcia) and Steven (Hugo Stiglitz), on vacation in Mexico. At the start of the trip, all the guys are after is some R&R and a chance to romance the sultry locals. But when bodies start surfacing on the water mangled and dismantled, the pair quickly take it upon themselves to begin hunting down the tiger shark responsible for the carnage.
And it’s in Spanish, Medmelon!
Last but not least, DUCK YOU, SUCKER.
A Sergio Leone film I ain’t seen.
#52
To make it needlessly dirty
A lady’s no-no can kinda look like a shark fun coming out of the water slightly.
#52
The name "Rick Masters" is pretty much the best name ever.
You could pull tail simply by introducing yourself.
“Hi, I’m Rick Masters. Can I buy you a drink?”
You'd probably be good at everything with a name like Masters.
I had a friend in college with the last name “Beers” and, needless to say, the girl could drink.
Following is quite good. i hope you picked that one

You're a spoof
Hot Fuzz was soooo different from pretty much every other cop spoof ever made, the concept was genius and it was hilarious throughout. Shaun of the Dead was more hit and miss for me, with the ending being particularly disappointing.

It's free at a lot of Portland restaurants
And it is really good. I emailed the company (a guy in his garage, most likely) to find out where to get it. New Seasons, for those of us in Portland. I’ve become so hooked on the stuff, I get nervous if we don’t have a backup bottle in the house.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
There was a six month period when New Seasons was permanently out of stock
We resorted to tipping extra big and taking it from restaurants. lean times. I got my dad a bottle for his bday almost 2 years ago and I’ve used prety much 100% of what’s been used. I want to feel bad, but it’s clearly too hot for him or he’d use it.

Anyone seen this?
Bertulucci’s 1900?
Bernardo Bertolucci’s epic tale follows the lives of two Italian men — a peasant (Gerard Depardieu) and a landowner (Robert De Niro) — both born on Jan. 1, 1900. Friends as children, the two become estranged as their differing social status pulls them apart. Their personal conflicts mirror the political events in Italy, as both fascism and socialism gain footholds in the country. Sterling Hayden, Donald Sutherland and Burt Lancaster co-star.

The beginning of TINTORERA: KILLER SHARK
Is pretty cool.
Starts off with peaceful underwater shots, following different fish, peaceful but moody music. It goes on as the credits fade in and out slowly.
The camera follows some long fish (I dunno what it’d be), and then THWAP a harpoon goes right through it.
INSTANTLY CUTS TO a boat on the surface and happy saxaphone jazzy 70s music starts playing.

On December 17, 1969, Tiny Tim married Victoria Mae Budinger (aka “Miss Vicki”) on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, a publicity stunt that attracted some 40 million viewers. Tiny wrote his own marriage vows, including the promise to be "not puffed up." He and Miss Vicki made even more news a month later with the announcement that they were expecting a baby, with comedians at the time suggesting the name VicTim. The baby was miscarried, but a subsequent child was born healthy and survived. In contrast to the romance-oriented publicity of their wedding, Tiny Tim and Miss Vicki mostly lived apart, and divorced eight years later. Their daughter, Tulip Victoria, is now married and living in Pennsylvania with four children.

Here's Andy Kaufman fake rasslin' a woman, which ...
was cutting-edge material in the early-’80s — especially since regional territories within the NWA were the thing during that era — to incite the ignorant Memphis marks.
the Tiny Tim guy seems too over the top to not know what he’s doing. he’s just worse at that sort of act maybe.

Hitchens is against any organized religion, mainly the Abrahamic religions but later extending to any organized religion. So that standpoint is not very surprising. I think people sense pretty well when someone is behaving ethically or at least trying to do so with good intentions.

her lifelong work did more harm than good on the whole. Yet, as the ol’ adage goes, sometimes “ignorance is bliss.” I also think the Catholic Church used her as a cash cow, for she was simple-minded and easy to manipulate to do their bidding by bringing in gobs of donations.

If I recall correctly, Sophia mentioned before that she's Catholic.
Arguing about religion, however, doesn’t seem to be in her wheelhouse, unless it involves some kind of male chauvinism or a reference to a cult. That way, she can relate the topic to her own life experiences.
That's what i was thinking
She doesn’t seem to passionate about that subject.

Yet, when it's strictly about religion without an issue relating to the female gender to ...
attract her gynocentric outlook on human life, I assume she’s relatively disinterested in it.
I’m going to assume that’s ‘cause she’s probably in the middle somewhere on religion. From her, I gather she probably comes from a religious background that’s progressively become more moderate over time due to her reformist viewpoints.
For instance, I’d wager to bet she’s not irreligious like myself — or even an agnostic — rather, my assumption is that she believes in things such as the Christian God being an omnipotent deity and in the Catholic Holy Trinity, albeit in a more modernized context than people who blindly view the Bible with a literal interpretation.
So, even though she’s seemingly a non-practicing Catholic, I doubt she’s a free-thinking non-believer by any stretch. I, however, could be totally wrong, while this is also a topic in which I’d truly be interested to read her position.
i don’t know crap about crap, but I gotta think that Catholicism and feminism have many opposing views.
That's why I'm mildly curious as to how Sophia balances the two, although ...
I’m completely indifferent toward both Catholicism and feminism.

After the discussion in the JD yesterday about reality TV (with Drive The Lane and others), I deliberately recorded and watched a few minutes of an episode of a reality TV show where a 30 year old guy weighing 350 pounds (not estimated, they measured) was sitting on a couch literally surrounded by cake, pizza, chips, cola, and sweets hidden in all kinds of cupboards, and was wondering how he had gotten fat and his life out of control. He had terminated an apprenticeship because people started to mock him, and thus had been unemployed for about 4 years and had given up really looking for work. His sister and his mother living in that same apartment full of ugly crap (both about 250 pounds, both also unemployed and all with almost the same haircut though the sister was in her early 20s and still had some chances) didn’t have a good explanation how this might have happened either. He admitted to be embarrassed to be overweight “for his age” (so that would be a normal weight when you are 50?). He also wore a shirt labeled “Fight Drinker”, and didn’t have anything other than sweat pants in case a job interview should ever sneak up on him, which caused him to cry hysterically when he realized this. It was truly depressing. The most amazing feat aside from all this self-deception was how the producers of that show constantly find people like that for 8 episodes per week for multiple seasons.

Dudley gets no boost from being a Blazer
Not like he was a star.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I meant in terms of support
In terms of $ raising he does.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
We've seen no evidence of that
Athlete candidates have this odd tendency to under-perform their final polling (and that includes athletes far more famous than Dudley, like Lynn Swann in PA and Steve Largent in OK).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Except for the whole being a Republican part
Which is a big problem in Seattle.
Athlete candidates, or sports candidates, almost never win. The only two that won recently are former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne (and he lost the Republican nomination for governor in that state) and US Rep. Heath Shuler from NC (who is the odd sports candidate that is a Dem).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Forgot about him
But is that a partisan race?
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
maybe. I think it’s safe to say he’s not the Repub candidate if he’s not a former Blazer, so obviously he’s had a boost of some kind from it. Hopefully people will realize he has no experience, but some people consider that good, not bad.
Yup on the R nod
If you want my honest opinion, Dudley is going to lose this race. Its going to be fairly close but in the end he doesn’t excite enough of the GOP base to overcome the huge advantage Dems have in this state.
I think it will end up being a 5 or 6 point win for Kitz.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

Bradley’s family crest is a picture of a baracudda eating Neil Armstrong.
I heard Bradley once drank a full glass of liquid LSD with his eggs. Then he slept for 8 months straight. When he woke he rubbed his eyes and said, “All in all, I prefer gin.”
The character of Johnny Appleseed was based on Bradley – except for the apple tree planting and not raping men.

Not going to go into the front page post but
Seriously Ben, you want to reopen that one? Every GM would have made that same choice and I’m still glad we drafted Oden. His numbers, while healthy, were off the charts and something Durant could never do (not because Durant is a bad player, he’s amazing, but he’s never going to be the rebounder or shot blocker Oden is).

I don’t think he was very involved with the Blazers recently though when the KP era ended. Or couldn’t tell.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
What I don't get-- why is this a surprise?
Durant had, at the time, the best statistical season ever for a Frosh, and maybe for anyone ever. Of COURSE he would score higher with only statistical analysis.
What do we think Ma is going by? Stats! Of course the dude with one of the greatest statistical seasons ever would score well.

I love the panicky story in the O today about how the line on Oregon has dropped from -13.5 for UO to -11.5 for their game at Tennessee tomorrow.

OK, time for a reactionary post about Aldridge
For two summers, LMA has tailored his off-season regimen with the idea of playing with Oden. Just as none of us could predict that Oden would be injured, neither could he. But when Oden went down each of the last two seasons, suddenly he was expected to replace Oden as the primary low post threat.
Now I don’t know if this regimen was completely his idea or completely the team’s idea or a combination of both (although I suspect it was in fact a combination). But it seems as though this current summer, the emphasis has changed so that he can be that ‘fall-back" if Oden goes down again. If that happens and if Aldridge hasn’t shown any improvement in his work in the paint, then let’s criticize. But I’m not prepared to criticize him for not being able to fill a role that he didn’t prepare for…..
OK, rant over. I feel better…..
And this isn’t against you, appel, it’s against what I consider to be unfair criticism by a large number of Blazer fans. You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time….
by Storyteller on Sep 10, 2010 12:50 PM PDT up reply actions
interesting. I am an LMA supporter.
how do you know he was training to be playing with Oden. Was that a team mandate that you heard about?
No but it makes sense, doesn't it?
This summer, we hear from Bayno about working with LMA on his low post moves, going to his left, ability to attach the basket. The last couple of years we’ve heard about him working on his perimeter shot.
That doesn’t really explain how his rebounding and blocking abilities seem to have stagnated or even regressed. I wouldn’t expect him to replace a low-post center, but he still has problems deciding what to do on defense and especially switching that plan. Once he has made up his mind to box out, he boxes out. Once he has decided to help off his man, he leaves his man. He’s a bit like Jerryd on offense: Once he has made his decision, he has problems adapting according to how the play really develops.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
His rebounding is fine by me
Especially considering the pace that the team plays. I do wish he’d go after defensive rebounds a bit more and not always look to release to get down to the offensive end so often…..
His on the ball defense is fine. I did notice that his blocked shot numbers jumped significantly the last couple of weeks of the regular season and during the Phoenix series – I’m hoping that’s a reflection of Camby’s influence and would love to see it continue.
I’m just a little tired of some Blazer fans whining about LMA not being a low-post offensive threat over the last couple of years…..
His team defense leaves a lot to be desired
And can’ be pinned on Oden’s absence. Dude just hasn’t shown the ability to rotate more than 1-2 times per possession or hedge and recover on PnRs
z
fine
you can punk any day wise sage! his potential is awesome, just get so frustrated sometimes when he gets owned down there…
Oh, yes, I understand the frustration
And, in my mind, he doesn’t have this ‘excuse’ this year if his low post offense doesn’t show improvement this year….
OK the Athlon NBA magazine is out
I’ve read about 20% of it, but already am laughing at some of the statements/predictions. For example, I read last night about Gallinari that he was such a 3 point threat last year, “just imagine how many more he’ll get with all the double-teams that Amare will get.”
Hilarious! To imagine that, I have to start by imagining that Amare might actually learn to pass out of a double team, and my imagination is simply not that big…..
Not surprisingly, they have fully jumped on the OKC bandwagon, predicting them to not only win the NW Division but also to reach the WCF. I am collecting more “I told you so” ammunition than I know what to do with…..

God is not an [zach]hole

Well, and succinctly, put.
To further your scatological analogy, I do not believe that God would take a dump on everyone who was not a member of the Christian cultural tradition, nor would he punish those who have lived ethically and responsibly with eternal damnation.
"Hell" is an ancient superstition used as a means of social control. What better way to keep the flock in line, or to encourage converts, than to threaten eternal damnation?

As y’all can see there, I feel my irreligious belief of existential nihilism is philosophically a less grim, dismal outlook than that of Abrahamic monotheism. To me, it’d be even more depressing if a creator was behind our human existence rather than it just being simple happenstance. I, moreover, would actually prefer it if there was no afterlife of any kind, for at some point I just want to check out entirely.

It was fairly humid (the clouds had rolled in) and the wind was in the teens. The firefighters were able to set up a line and held the fire from spreading (though minor damage was inevitable).

Even when this one was new
It seemed a little off. It’s my first junk. I probably poisoned it.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I just served on an interview panel
can I just say to those of you who are looking for jobs:
1) DO NOT RAMBLE – so many people had really solid answers, but then they kept talking and ruined it all!
2) Prepare some standard answers to standard questions- “it’s sort of like what I already do” isn’t a good answer to “why would you be a good fit for this position”
3) If you are asked the same question that was already asked in the application process, there’s no excuse not to have a good solid answer!
Out of five people, only one was a good interview. And I suspect he doesn’t even want this job that much. Darn it. Interviewing is hard, but it’s not THAT hard. Sheesh.
My “favorite” was the guy who must’ve told us 5 times that he’s a great communicator, yet didn’t notice that by the time he asked his 8th question at the end of the interview, we were all yawning and fidgeting. He also used (I counted) seven sentences when answering the “sum up why we should hire you in two sentences” question.
it’s hard to know sometimes how it translates into job performance. Studies show that companies are terrible at the hiring process.
I do know, though, that when I’m well qualified, I tend to interview great. Otherwise, not so much. Oddly enough.
my friend's company is interviewing right now
(well, the company she works for, it’s not HER company) and she watched over a few interviews last week and said one of the girls was so terribly nervous and was completely showing all the traditional signs of nervousness. She felt really bad for the girl
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
I find some companies don’t really want to hear my suggestions of what could be improved and get angry when I don’t agree with their opinions or cases they present me with. Then again, they probably aren’t the ones who really want me anyway and would rather be left alone.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
And yeah, hiring is hard for both sides. What companies usually appreciate but might seem to obvious to many people is explaining how you work, and that you are willing to work hard/travel/whatever else is particularly important in that job. And not just say “I am a hard worker”, but tell stories or explain your typical way to prepare for a week and structure it to be productive.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
I've interviewed others and been interviewed
and they’re both difficult in such different ways….
All I can say is that it’s been my experience that in interviewing others, the more questions that you can phrase in a behavioral fashion, the better chance you have of getting to the heart of qualification.
“Tell me about a time when you” vs “What would you do if”
I had a friend who took some class's and got a concrete inspector cert
Guy is really smart and knows his stuff but has 0 computer skills,we kept telling him you are going to have to get some basic skills or you just wasted your time,first interview they told him ezackly that

Timmay!
I just watched the Lethal Inspection Futurama and I almost cried at the end.
My ideal man would be Italian, dark, muscles, juice-head, guido.
I can't watch some low-brow reality shows -- including many of the VH1 ones -- but Jersey Shore ...
just doesn’t do it for me. For starters, it’s impossible for me to relate to any of them. Without that factor, I can’t even feign interest — much less enjoy it — so the show is a no-go in my book.
that was such a great episode.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
that one was very good too.
this has been a very good reboot.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
yeah I'd have to rewatch the movies to remember which I liked
but I watched each one once as I bought them and remember liking two and being disappointed in the other two
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
Everyone seems to like different ones.
I liked movies 1 and 3, thought 2 was awwwwwful, and thought 4 was a little below average. I know some folks who think the opposite. So I guess, kudos to the writers in a weird way.
I only saw 3 of them
And was rather GB’d for 2, but I wasn’t terribly impressed with any. I’m glad the real show’s back
z
It works much, much better as a 22 minute show
But hey, the sales of those DVD’s helped get the show back on the air, so I’m fine. :)
Agreed
The first few episodes were rough since they kinda had to explain what was up but since then it’s been classic Futurama. And no reason they can’t go on forever, they have then entire universe (or in some cases, multiverse) to work with
z
Amazing episode, isn't it?
It ranks with Leela’s Homeworld and Luck of the Fryrish for well written, deep uplifting endings. (Unlike another ending I won’t speak of).
If you haven’t see “The Late Philip J Fry”, you’ve got another really great episode to see still. The rest of the season was also good for the most part.

Yesterday it was red and puffy. It hurt to walk and I thought I was going to have to go to urgent care today. It stopped being red so I soaked it in warm salt water until the dead skin unhooked. Then I cut it off and pulled a tiny piece of dried grass and some dirt off it. It’s good as new now.

My miniature schnouzer, Mr. Smith, did 15.5 hours in the cargo hold for the trans-Pacific flight. He was in a mid-sized kennel/cage. DIDN’T USE THE TOILET/MESS THE CAGE ONCE. Not once. No pee, no poo-poo. Just one tough little puppy inside.
It was like the saddest moment ever when we gave him to the luggage guys. his little eyes were big as saucers. But he was super happy when we picked him up. and he super had to take a dump. MEGAdump.

"I'd Rather Be Lonely" by Loudon Wainwright III.
“Every night I get the blues
Greens and yellows and chartreuses
You’re still living here with me, I’d rather be lonely
All the thime I look around
For excuses to leave town
Everybody wants somebody but I’d rather be lonely
Lonliness is happiness it takes less than two
I confess that I digress from it when I’m with you
Let’s us make a brand new start
Separate and stay apart
I’ve had enough having and holding
I’d rather be lonely
I think that I need some space
Every day you’re in my face
How can I get rid of you, I’d rather be lonely
Lonliness is happiness it takes less than two
I confess that I digress from it when I’m with you
One more verse, a few more words
Love is for the bees and birds
Not for a human being like me
I’d rather be lonely"
One of the most poignant folk songs in music history.
Trivia: What Judd Apatow created TV sitcom was Wainwright III a semi-regular cast member?
I didn't know he had created another TV sitcom
I just cheated though. I might have to check that show out sometime. IMDB people give it an 8.7, which is pretty good.

When you buy a laptop, some companies offer a “battery protection plan”. That way, two years from now, they’ll automatically send a new one at your request, but you pay now, 50-60% of the battery price.

A court ruling may put an end to the concept of buying used software
Because you’re only buying a license to use the software, you’re not buying the software itself. It’s very possibly that the book, cd, and dvd industries may try to piggyback on this decision to kill all used sales and restrict only to buying new copies, excuse me, licensing new copies.
good thing books can still be bought in physical form
I dare them to stop me from selling books from my shelves!
Can I get an Armon?
I think the bigger concern is telling used book stores they can no longer sell used copies.
I think they’ll realize it’s a big mistake and won’t do it, but I’m not so sure about the CD and DVD industry. They’re already attempting it with the MP3 market, this is just the next step.

How does it work for dvr?
Everything gets stored on the computer hd? I assume you still need a cable box from the cable company. Does it still need to be a dvr capable box?
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
It does full DVR. You don't need a cable box at all, if you get a cablecard tuner
But for the time being, cablecard tuners are fairly expensive and hard to get. That may change toward the holidays.
With a cablecard tuner, you can have a Windows Media Center using one cablecard, but four independent tuners you can use at the same time.
For most cable providers, you can also keep any recordings you want and play them on other computers. The biggest negative: On Demand does not yet work (there is some plans to change that eventually)
It destroys most other options on the market. But the cablecard portion is just way too expensive for the moment. You may get some channels without cablecard in your area, but cable companies are trying to prevent that.
Oh, typically pay cable channels (Encore, HBO, Showtime etc) restrict their recordings
I forgot to note that. But otherwise, you can usually play them elsewhere.

Which is what I’m also doing on the netbook front, next-gen Atoms are supposed to be great.
Is it my imagination
Or have netbook specs been stagnant for a long time, now?
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I feel that way too.
chime in papa Timmay, give us your wisdom!
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
They just released "next-gen" atoms (Pine Trail), but they bring little new.
They’re basically the same speed, but with some improved battery life. The netbook speeds are completely stagnant and have been for a while. I’m considering a Core i3 or Intel Pentium “Netbook” (officially it’s a mini laptop) because netbook speeds are so awful. I also use Ubuntu Netbook Remix, which uses less resources so it’s faster. But it’s really for browsing and IM, and for advanced users. If you need stuff like Microsoft Office, Ubuntu won’t help you.
Next year, there are real next-gen Atoms expected to be released. They’re called Cedar Trail if you want to look it up. Intel says they’ll have twice the performance and will double the video card ability (which would be nice, current models max at DVD resolution, unless you get a model with nVidia ION graphics). Current word is that it’ll be released in time for Christmas 2011.
It’s also possible AMD will sneak in a netbook chip during the next year. They have one now, but it’s very inferior when it comes to battery life, which is of course a big deal on plane rides and the like.
If you need Office, won't Ubuntu run Open Office?
Or does the netbook version have trouble with it?
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Last I checked, Open Office works just fine
But I know for some folks, it’s just not an acceptable substitute for the real thing.
those silly "some folks"
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
To each his own
But since I switched to OO, I haven’t missed MS Office. Granted, I’m not an Office power user, but OO does everything I need it to do.

yeah I was just teasin'
I like the way office works a little more but it’s not worth paying all that money for.
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
It's definitely a power-user thing
OO tends to fail when you get into some of the advanced features. Honestly, I don’t use those features either though.
Some people just want it to say “Microsoft” of course. To each their own. Same applies to some people using Apple, Cisco, Sony, etc.
I absolutely hate Office
Granted, I’m running on a Mac so it’s clunkier than it’s Windows counterpart, but man does it suck. I only use Word if I need to open .docs other people send me. I do all my word processing in either textedit or indesign.
Yeah, if you're an Apple guy, you're probably not going to agree with much in this thread.

I think it's totally short-sighted to not have current shows on instant play
I mean come on, we’d probably watch a lot of shows that have buzz, if we could go back and see old episodes for free.
i agree completely.
there are a ton of shows i’d love to watch if they were on instant play. i mean, they don’t have to do like Party Down did and show instant play during the season. but once the season is over, it’d be great to have whole seasons on instant play.

i agree.
i’m looking through the fall schedules for the major networks. dang…..there aren’t any new shows worth seeing it looks like.
only returning shows i’ll watch are Modern Family, Survivor, Amazing Race, and Fringe. at least this will leave me time to catch up on the quality cable shows. hahaha

I've set the DVR for a few new shows, but we don't think any of them will stick around
I recorded the CW’s version of “Bring it On” for the wife. It can be cheesy but she may still enjoy it.
With most shows, we just wait until shows reach season 2 or 3, and if they’re not prematurely canceled, and people like them, we’ll check it out. But see my point above for why we don’t check a lot of shows out.
netflix just needs to make a deal or something and then up the subscription by a buck or two. i’d pay more if it meant more recent tv available instantly.
and maybe i’m an oddball this way, but if i like a show, i’ll buy the dvd’s even after seeing it cause i’m a re-watcher.

We'll still have The Office on DVR (for now!), 30 Rock, and The Simpsons
Which is actually better now than it was 5 years ago. We’ll probably also give Community a shot, since it had some good episodes. Neither of us are reality tv fans, so there goes a lot of the network lineups.
I’m sure there are a few others I’m forgetting, and this is only talking about Network shows. Cable is a different story, though I’m not interested in a couple of the current “buzz” shows. (Too bad I can’t go back and view them to see if I’d be interested, huh?)

i only watched the first couple hours and decided not to keep up with it cause i didn’t want to deal with that sort of show. was just wondering if it has changed in to more than just a “conspiracy show”.

Not to get religious again, but I just woke up with a powerful analogy about saints that fits a basketball site
The church, at least the Catholic one, follows a strict official multi-step process to declare someone a saint and therefore in heaven (and it is clear in that it doesn’t MAKE you a saint, it only recognizes one as such. And the church is also clear in that not only officially recognized saints are in heaven since you might have done your good work in obscurity). This includes a long research process with investigation of miracles performed and an argument about if the person is indeed worthy, with the “advocatus diaboli” arguing against it (that’s where the term comes from). But it gets carried out by imperfect humans, and thus occasionally leads to declaring imperfect people saints because it was a popular person during its time that inspired people.
If the application is approved, the person may be granted the title of “Venerable”. Further investigations may lead to the candidate’s beatification and given title of “Blessed.” At a minimum, two important miracles are required to be formally declared a saint. These miracles must be posthumous. Finally, when all of this is done the Pope canonizes the saint.
The analogy: It’s like retiring jerseys and putting people into the hall of fame. Sometimes you put in too many people, sometimes it takes too long to recognize someone.
(Comments are closed, or at least restricted to saying how much my analogy sucks or rocks without discussing individuals)

This is the long-term study on NBA injuries I've been looking for but didn't want to pay for
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1323413/
Got linked in the front page post. It’s not quite as good as I had hoped (e.g. only categorizes almost all knee injuries as “sprains”), but still provides some interesting perspective on factors like age, height, weight, typical locations of injuries, …
But a bit too general.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
I've been following that a little bit this summer, and was kind of hoping it would be more significant (public) as time passed
Patellofemoral inflammation is a significant problem among NBA players.
In other words, NBA guys have sore knees. Excuse me while I file this under BFD.
Hehe, yeah. The suggested cure is also quite “d’oh!”: Less jumping. So coaches shouldn’t include special jump training into training, since the athletes do enough of that.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Actually, if I remember right
One of the more interesting things about the study is that they couldn’t link knee injuries with anything else, i.e. race, weight, etc.
Anybody here buy a ipad? or other new tablet?
I’m curious if they’re any good. Or just over hyped.
Winter is Coming
we have one at work.
they are pretty cool. they feel good holding them. have a nice weight. easy to use. it’s just a really big ipod touch it seems like. it’d be great for watching movies or tv on. and there’s a lot of stuff. if you have a need for one, i think it would be worth it.

Noooo Grooveshark is down
Here’s the pic the put up.
In an attempt to befriend Asian investors and increase office morale, we here at Grooveshark established some connections with the Chinese black market and imported our very own black-and-white Giant Panda (hereby known as “Pickles”). Unfortunately, due to circumstances no one could have foreseen, Pickles became agitated at the fluorescent lights and near-constant belly rubs and began clawing at our computers.
Pickles is currently thrashing about in the server room, causing the technical difficulties and temporary outage you just experienced. As soon as our interns return from Pier 1 with synthetic bamboo, a picnic basket and an oversized net, we will be able to return the servers back to normal and, if we can, rescue the coder that Pickles has taken as a prize.

I'm yawning and my stomach is growing. I think the yawning may win out.
Apparently I’m boring on Friday nights. :) Anything interesting going on down there?
The shark one
This gruesome 1978 thriller follows the travails of two shark hunters, Miguel (Andrews Garcia) and Steven (Hugo Stiglitz), on vacation in Mexico. At the start of the trip, all the guys are after is some R&R and a chance to romance the sultry locals. But when bodies start surfacing on the water mangled and dismantled, the pair quickly take it upon themselves to begin hunting down the tiger shark responsible for the carnage.

The Shark one has some real good water scenes
Then it cuts to cheesiness of watching babes on the beach while crappy music plays.

And I believe the sharks and other sealife are actually being killed
So if that bugs one, don’t watch it.

Ran my standard 2.5 miles morning round, 10 stair runs, and did a few minutes of my own kind of Tae-Bo/Tennis/Boxing moves for a few minutes to cool down. Nothing major, but I try to do it regularly again after slacking a bit while in Boston when I had no good running area unless I took the train outside.

Tintorera
About two playboy sharkhunters who live carefree lives on the Carribean, living on the rich one’s boat, romancing tourists and hunting sharks.
#52
And then it gets REAL.
Both dudes “marry” the same girl and all 3 have a monogamous relationship with each other (it’s an agreement; they don’t go after other women, and she is only with them) and then a tiger shark eats one of the friends.
#52
Have you seen “Open Water”? That’s based on real-life events, making it scarier.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
Yeah
I kept wondering during it, how no one missed that the girl with the bathing suit undone past her navel didn’t get back on the boat.
I also thought the flashbacks were annoying.
But the situation is scary, and I liked how they did it.

You could buy the rights to the life story of Bison Dele. NBA player, NBA champ, retired, skippering through the Pacific with with girlfriend and a French guy and his brother, and then only his brother arrives in Tahiti. Not quite as compelling as The Talented Mr. Ripley, but could still be a decent movie.
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
I did, though the French (?) original is a better version of the story
"Listening to the media only increases your odds of failing at whatever you are doing" - Mark Cuban
I'm not sure which I like better, but I like both
You’re right, it is French… in the US, it was called PURPLE NOON, but the French title is Plein Soleil.
I like that Ripley gets away with everything.
#52
I read about the original just now
I forgot that SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Ripley turns himself in at the end, or it suggests he does. I don’t like that. He doesn’t do that in the book, for one, and two, it’s rad he gets away with it all. It’s ironic that the American version has the darker ending.
#52
Now the friend who is still alive
Wants revenge on all sharks, and has got local fisherman and the military helping him look for the tiger shark that killed his friend… and he’s killing all sharks he sees along the way.
And I believe they are actually killing real live sharks. I read a quick blurb of a review, and they were hoping they used stock footage for these kills, and watching it it’s easy to see they ain’t. They are doing these just for this movie, and aren’t using stock footage.
It’s an odd film, rather aimless, which I kinda liked about it.
#52
I read some weird IMDB user reviews of Tintorera
Many call it a softcore movie, which I found odd, because while there is male and female nudity, there are almost no sex scenes. Just kissing.
And one reviewer talks about a rape scene, and there were no rape scenes. I woulda’ noticed, as those scenes in these 70s movies bug the hell outta me. This was also the long version, about 40 minutes longer than the previously released versions.
The movie gets called homoerotic a lot too, and the two leads are good friends who are naked a lot around each other (and their “wife”) but I wouldn’t say it is homoerotic… they’re just buddies who’re okay with that sort of thang.
It’s a unique movie, not very “good” but interesting, and like I said above I enjoyed the aimless nature of it and the setting. I can’t recommend it to anyone without knowing a lot more about them.
#52
Last two notes
It was set in Mexico, and is a Mexican-British production.
The ending is very cheesy. It’s too bad.
#52
And if I get to hang out with EK sometime and become blood brothers
Our life would probably be a lot like Tintorera.

So I watched The Usual Suspects
Just as good as everyone had told me. Only problem was that someone told me it was legendary for the twist at the end, so I was looking for who might be Keyser Soze the whole movie. Nevertheless I loved the heck out of it.

It's a good one
Even if you knew the twist, it’s still good. It’s such a great cast.

Cool; glad ya liked it
I remember I had a dumb girlfriend in college and we were watching that movie with a friend who hadn’t seen it, and we had already seen it, and my girlfriend kept saying to the friend “you will NEVER believe the twist” and “you won’t believe who Keyser Soze is!” and then during the movie she’d say “and remember, he’s only a cripple” pretty much revealing who Keyser Soze is.
When you said you were gonna watch it, I was worried that the twist was blown for you, or you had heard too much about the twist and waiting for it would be annoying, or it was just too built up for ya.
I’m glad ya liked it.
#52
I knew nothing of the twist other than it existed
I guessed who it was by process of elimination but it was still sweet with how it was revealed etc
As someone (was it you?) said last night, there really were some fantastic performances in there. Needed that otherwise the whole double twist thing could have come off gimmicky.
