  4. I went to see the movie on Saturday with my 14 year old son, and both of us were in convulsions of laughter throughout the movie. It was the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. The theater we went to was about 90% full, and it's located in an area with a substantial Jewish population. The theater was roaring all the way through the movie, and the parts where Borat makes remarks about Jewish people(running of the jew, etc.) are so absurd you couldn't take it seriously and you have to laugh at the utter ridiculousness of it all. At the end of the movie he returns to Kazhakstan(sp) and he remarks how his village has progressed and they no longer have the running of the Jew, and they show a guy on a cross being jabbed with a pitchfork! There's something to offend almost everyone.
  5. COOL! Those earrings were wild- it looked like she could detach tha triangles and then throw them like in some kung-fu movie(great for hecklers and loud drunks!)
  6. 'The Eigth' is very good, but if you don't have 'One Too Salty Swift & Not Goodbye', add that also.
  7. I just dropped by the one on Wabash Ave in downtown Chicago to check on progress. 30% off most stuff, 25% off box sets. There was a lot less activity than when the sale first started and a lot of "product" left on the shelves. Anyone have any other Tower sale checkups to report? There is almost nothing worth looking at in the 4th & BWay store anymore. As I originally suspected, it looks like they are trying to shut this one down quicker than the others due to the monstrous rent. I get the feeling that they must be moving product from this store to others, because based on my observation it doesn't look like consumer activity alone can be depleting the shelves at this rate. I went to W 4th Street today also, and there's very little left. The folks behind the counter were talking about mid-December as a shut down time...
  8. Some Ebay stuff: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZphilly616QQhtZ-1
  9. We'll probably never know the truth, but I wonder what really happened in Reynolds' case. Was he too touchy-feely, did he say something he shouldn't have, etc? I've heard(possibly even here), that Reynolds is quite the womanizer, perhaps he got a bit carried away? It also seems rather ironic when ESPN at times pushes sleaze in its programming and attitude.
  10. Joey Bishop Priest Holmes Alexander Pope
  11. Holy Cow(&pig), you must really be hungry!
  12. Last Thursday I went to the Tower on Broadway and West 4th in NYC, to both bargain hunt and to get one last walk through the store. The discs were 20% off, so no great bargains for their full price merchandise. I hunted and hunted and found a half dozen discs(one a 2 disc set) for about $80 with tax. Good, but not great. The selection, however, is pretty well diminished already. The racks looked like they'd pretty well picked over, with lots of blank spaces on the racks. There were signs all over the store that exhorted all to buy now or it might be gone. A litle twinge of sadness after all the times I had shopped there and discovered something new, but life must move on.
  13. Up for final eyeballs...
  14. "My arrangement is too WHAT!!!!!"
  15. THANK YOU, LAZARO!!! That absolutely smoked!!! WOW

    Sonny Fortune

    Those are his best albums ever, in my opinion. Awakening has the most erotic cover I have ever seen. I saw Sonny a few years ago in a quintet with alto saxophonist Frank Morgan, a two alto group. Morgan was tasteful and appealing. Sonny blew the roof off of the hall, taking it to many levels above the rest of the performance. Are those the ones with Charles Sullivan on trumpet & Billy Hart? If so, I loved them- Sonny did some excellent work on those. I even saw that band(Hart, Sullivan, Onaje Allan Gumbs, bassist?) once and they smoked!!

  25. MY $0.02 on what the Yanks need to do to improve the starting pitching: 1) sign Mussina at a reduced price($17MM is too much for one year) for no more than 1-2 years, 2) Get Zito!, 3) Bring up Hughes, in AA now but supposed to be a can't miss guy, 4) Tell Big Unit to get surgery and take his time coming back, like say, return in November after his contract expires , 5) Deal A-Rod if the Yanks can get a package from the Angels similar to what was offered to the Orioles(Ervin Santana, a young fireballer and a third baseman). Does Brain Cashman hang around Jazz bb's?
