Bob Rules!

I picked up ol' Bob and I hugged him, like a Bear.  He said 'Have you pet spayed or neutered and put me down son and feast your eyes over there'

Knickerbockers, please.
Season's on the cooling board.
So f__  it, I'm going off-topic for the next 3 months.

Folks, make sure you check out 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days.
Otherwise referred to as the Romanian abortion film.
It's a real kick in the teeth.
Just a powerful film.  Depressing, hell yes.  But very good.
It's playing in NYC at the IFC Center, which is part of the Cablevision conglom.
Wonder if the IFC Center serves Zeke's freaky popcorn?

And if you haven't heard, Romanian cinema has arrived, with The Paper Will be Blue and California Dreamin' also worth your eye-time.

Otherwise, I'd rec Juno and 2 Days in Paris.
Paprika is quite good for those into anime.
While Sicko is a must-see.

I saw that Romanian movie last week with my parents.  My dad had an advanced copy.  It was not exactly "Knocked up".  Definitely not a good first date movie.

No, but two other pregnancy movies from 2007 might work:
Juno and Waitress.

But Once would be a better bet. 
A semi-romance, folksy songs, no pregnancy.
2 Days in Paris was also quite good, in a Woody Allenish vein, but I doubt either of those are playing in and around central Jersey.

Ratatouille or Atonement would be safer first date films, the latter if you want to seem sensitive and highbrow.

I'm Not There would probably offer the most to talk about afterwards --- a good test.

Uh, I'm movie binging during the Chinese New Year holiday.

So how'd you like 4, 3, 2 anyway?

So how'd you like 4, 3, 2 anyway?

I haven't seen those movies you mentioned.

4 months 3 days 2 weeks is just a dark disturbing f-ed up movie.   There was a lot of verisimilitude to the story.  I could identify with the characters, but at the same time, I was so angry at them.   That dinner pasty scene was pretty cool.  One very long shot.  I guess thats this director's style, very long camera shots. It makes things more realistic, but at times painful to watch.  I could've done without the one scene of the bathroom floor after the act.

Did you like the movie?  Its hard for me to like a movie that makes me feel like that.  But i do appreciate the film-making aspect.

Milwaukee continues as the league's choke artists supreme.
Blew a 12 point 2nd half lead to Miami to lose by 6 (gave up 40 4th Q points).
Just terrible coaching, poor shot selection, iffy defense.
Another high draft pick coming right up.

Milwaukee, which has lost six straight and blown its fair share of big advantages in the second half this season, including an 11-point lead against Utah late in the fourth quarter on Wednesday.

"I don't feel like guys have turned me off. People are still paying attention, but that's a rough question to ask a coach," said Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak, who called the team's inability to get stops in the fourth quarter "super frustrating."

They need to shake things up.  I'd take Bogut, Redd (although he hasn't consistently played hard, and takes some crazy shots), and Yi.  Also, Simmons if we were dumping an equally crappy contract.  Gadzooks if we could dump a JJ, etc.
