Number of ratings 25 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Prof. Begley is really intelligent, and the funnest part of the class is just the observations about the world he occasionally starts class with. (Ex. "What are these 5 Hour Energy things at Wawa?") The downsides are some of the texts you read are quite surreal and he doesn't give As on papers. Still, I would recommend his class for English majors
Begley is awesome!!!! knows material and his extreme interest rubs off on you. You will not get A's on papers, though but his feed back if very insightful and helpful. Class is very fair and enjoyable most days. Will go over your head with psychoanalysis info but he will dumb it down to a level that your understand. Quizzes are extremely easy.
Prof. Begley is the man! His lectures will go way over your head unless you're into psychoanalysis, but still exciting to listen to his intellectual rants. His quizzes are so simple, like middle school style. He is a hard grader on papers, but I managed to get an A after revisions (he lets you revise every paper). Take him, hands down
Prof Begley is THE best teacher I've had! His classes are interesting, engaging, and inevitably entertaining. He does a good blend of lecture/discussion, and the only real homeworks are weekly readings (to be quizzed on the next day) and papers (which he is VERY lenient on). It does take good insight to get an A on his papers. A class worth taking!
He's definitely hard and it's impossible to get an A on his papers, but he's funny and his lectures are really REALLY interesting. He's very flexible when it comes to dates for tests and due dates for papers, and he tries to make things easy for everyone.
You will NOT get A's on your papers. But if you do the reading and attend class, you can get an A for your final grade. Begley's class will push you to your intellectual limits without screwing your GPA. AWESOME professor. Funny, brilliant, and helpful. Take a class with him before you leave WM.
He may be good looking and smart,but these traits will not help YOU! Assignments had broad guidelines, but grading did not. His lectures left me cruising the internet because it was way out of my league. Asking questions and taking part in the discussion is a MUST, of you will be lost. Had weekly quizzes. Really? Are we back in high school?
the only problem i had with Begley was that he keeps it pretty terse and straightforward outside of class, when i privately wished we could shoot the breeze about pop culture. such a cool guy, SO articulate, and thumbs up to a very dry sense of humor. plus he's attractive.
I have no idea what he is talking about most of the time. It's a pretty useless class...he is TOO smart. Makes no sense at alllllllllllllll.
I am an econ major and I was so happy to step out of my comfort zone with Begley. I hated missing his class because his a brilliant sense of humor and ability to relate the works we read to life. My notes were full of hilarious quotes. Not an easy grader for sure, but well worth the effort.
Intimidating in how articulate and brilliant he is, but also very funny and appealing.
Probably THE hottest professor I've ever had at college. He's terrifyingly brilliant, really dry and witty sense of humor, and very engaging. Even when the material was over my head he kept you interested. Hard grader-very fair, just do the reading and show up and you'll get a B+ without much strife. Plus, it's worth it to just hear him talk ;-D
He's a freaking genius. He's careful and fair in his grading. He's funny and personable. And to top it off, he's hot and has the deep baritone voice of a god. What's not to like? He's simply terrific.

Most engaging professor I've ever had at the college. Absolutely brilliant, truly passionate about the course material, and always manages to keep class discussions interesting, entertaining, and well-focused. Is a hard grader on papers, but is fair and rewards careful work. Extremely helpful out of class.

Take this class again just to hear him talk. Hilarious, brilliant, and not afraid to make everyone extremely uncomfortable. Not easy though, so be prepared.
Professor Begley is by far my favorite professor here at the College...anyone who hasn't taken with him is missing out. Classes are like a stand-up comedy show. Expect a lot of reading for discussion, but assignments are always fun and the material is definitely interesting.
Can the study of modern drama be more esoteric?
Would take any class this man taught--absolutely fantastic lecturer, very helpful outside of class.
VARUN IS THE MAN. Had him for 3 semesters and now I'm going through withdrawal. LCST classes are brutal, but worth it. Smartest and funniest prof I ever had. I can't recommed this guy enough, he's a legend in the LCST department.

You were right.
More lies.
I guess, she feels threatened that the OM's family is going to cooperate with me, and share information if the story I provided, doesn't gel.
Turns out, they didn't go the 20 years without contact and they knew one another in 2010, but they never...talked.
I discovered her yahoo IM. There's a bunch of what looks like spam messages... I confronted her on the phone, she came home and blew me up. Called me names, hostile etc... This is when another drip of truth comes out.
Thanks. I am taking steps to protect myself... I am sorry, it has come to this. I refuse to allow her to speak in such a loathsome, vile manner with me. Blame me for her lies and affair.
I have no where else to just unload... no where. I am strong. I have lived through things that kill an adult inside of 12 minutes. I picked my life up under the sneers and mocking ridicule and scorn and no one asked me, "why" did you shoot youself nearly to death.... because a grown man beat me, locked me in a chair for days and weeks on end. Called me names, humiliated me and I tried to get help. So finally, I took matters into my hands on that night. And when the rifle went off...I realized I was stonger than him.
I am stronger than her.... I love her. She chose to throw it in the dirt, not me. She had to kiss a bunch of frogs to find me....
Believe me, we don't want to be right.
We're here for you - sound off all you need to. This is one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
What is your plan now, Brokenhearted? I really think at this point it would be good to separate. This is tearing you apart and NC=no new hurts.
Again, I am very sorry.
Sending strength...
But please DO not make excuses for her affairs, or make out one is worse than the orpther or, my friend you are in fact gas lighting yourself.
They are all bad...They are all lies...there is no "degree of severity" where infidelity is considered.
Read up on the 180... You have proven you are strong and can make good decisions.... You don't need get...
I'm so sorry to hear about your tragic story. To have survived a suicide attempt and to live through the agony and pain of a WW who blatantly is cheating on you in front of you is too much to take.
However the manner in which you exposed in several steps has only driven your WW's affairs underground further. To obtain the most punch, it is best to expose all at the same time. You have confronted her several times and she still reverts back to her same old ways.
Have you heard of Dr Harley? He publishes a book and website called Marriage Builders. It is built upon Christian foundations of building marriages after affairs. I suggest you go and read his book. Especially Plan B. Plan B is a method for ending an affair in the case of a wayward that doesn't want to stop. However keep in mind that Harley's Plan B is incredibly difficult to implement and requires almost no direct communication between you and your WW.
I would go one step further and go see a divorce attorney. Since you have a mental illness (PTSD) and have attempted suicide in the past, you have a grounds for securing alimony payments from your WW. This mental illness however may impact you negatively when it comes to child custody. The biggest thing you can do at this point is to shock her with the threat of divorce. She is so deep in the fog that the only thing that may scare her back into the marriage is being served with divorce papers. You may or may not decide to continue the divorce proceedings once she is served, but it may help snap her out of the fog.
Don't bother wasting your time checking on her phones, emails, or activities any longer. Stand up for yourself and HAVE SOME BALLS. She is treating you like a POS and walking all over you.
I'm so sorry you are here. Keep posting and we will continue to provide advice.
Sending you peace and strength.........Kali

GCC legal volumes to go under the hammer
Updated 5:27pm Wednesday 8th May 2013 in News By Freya Leng
KEEN historians are being given the chance to buy a selection of legal volumes from Gloucestershire County Council.
The volumes are largely decorative and no longer of day to day value to the council's legal team while some are duplicates of volumes held by Gloucestershire Archives.
One of the lots is a George II calf-bound volume containing Acts of Parliament of 1741-1742.
They are being auctioned by Chorleys on Thursday, May 16 at 10.30am at their Upper Salesroom at Prinknash Abbey Park.
Christine Wray, head of legal Services at Gloucestershire County Council, said: "By offering them for sale, collectors with an interest in legal history will get the chance to get hold of some really interesting volumes.
"I'm sure the sale will generate a lot of interest."
The sales catalogue can now be viewed at simonchorley.com.

text: t looks like the end for Jamie Moyer and Greg Dobbs in Phillies uniforms. The Phillies said today that Moyer and Dobbs, who was eligible for salary arbitration, have become unrestricted free agents. Both players could return in 2011, although it is highly unlikely. The Phillies placed both players on waivers earlier this week to expedite the process for them to become free agents, which is a pretty good sign they don't plan to bring them back. Once they cleared waivers, each player filed for free agency.

There are so many elements that help create a specific environment or feeling in a space. Color, texture, pattern, lighting, furniture and decor all play a role in the intentional mood you are trying to creating. We've talked about how lighting is essential in the design of a room, because without light, you can't see any of the other design elements. But what happens when you don't have a ton of natural light to help aid the space in the bright feeling we're after?
Hanging mirrors and bringing in reflective pieces to your room is a great way to "fake" it, and actually brighten up the room at the same time. Hang a modern wall mirror opposite a window and the light coming in through the window will be reflected off the mirror, creating the illusion that the room is more bright than it actually is.
Images from Live Creating Yourself, Domaine Home
Today I'm showing you two stylish wall mirror options. The first is a pretty, glam and sophisticated gold sunburst mirror. You can put it in an already glam space, or add it into a more sleek and modern room as the element of surprise and whimsy.
The second round wall mirror is a great classic piece. It's simple, beautiful metallic silver finish can essentially go anywhere. I love how the size of the one in the example dining room really makes an impact on the room. The metallic finish is a beautiful contrast with the wood table.

Honda (yes, the car company) recently made the plans for its experimental smart home available for free. Such open sourcing is de rigueur in software development circles, but in architecture?
Michael Koenig, a project engineer for the company, explains: "We're not in the business of building houses. Honda wants to be involved in this future, and there are certainly some products where it might make sense for us to participate in. It'll be on the energy management side of it, for sure."
By actively monitoring and optimizing energy consumption, the Honda home located in Northern California is expected to generate a surplus of 2.6 megawatt hours per year. Such research into energy efficient may make, at least tangentially, sense for a car company. But the smart home of the future will actually extend far beyond energy management. It will be about each of us individually. About streamlining the way we live.
Take a table lamp with night light for example. Now imagine it communicating with your alarm, switching to the night light in the early evening and fading the lamp back on as the sun rises.
Or consider your front yard. We carry an awesome selection of modern outdoor lights online, but imagine if your outdoor lighting system could sense your proximity and brighten the yard minutes before you arrived home to "secure the property" and guarantee you safe passage from the car to the door.
These are the real promises of a smart home, in which your calendars, GPS, and machine-learned habits are all understood and catered to. Pipe dreams for the future? maybe, but with Honda's open-sourcing just the latest bold move in the smart home arena, I think we will soon see those dreams turn into reality.

You've undoubtedly been seeing hanging light bulbs everywhere lately. You've seen them as art (as in the Madison Park installation pictured above).
They were at the Oscars...

The look is minimalist, utilitarian and endlessly customizable. But before you hire an electrician to build a custom cluster of light bulbs, we've got a few designs that you'll want to see.
These exciting new additions to our selection of swag lamps plug directly into a single ceiling junction box, making them a simple way to replicate the popular design trend at home.
From soft white bulbs...

Are you planning to travel anytime soon? If Mexico is on your list of places to visit, then you must stop in Mexico City for the architecture, design, nightlife... and food!
Romita Comedor Restaurant in Mexico City, located in the heart of Colonia Roma, should be one of your foodie stops, and not just for the fabulous cuisine, but for the cool interior design
The building, protected by the INBA (Instituta Nacional de Bellas Artes), dates back to early 1900s, with a style inspired by grand railway stations.
We love the large windows, high ceilings, vintage style dining furniture and checkered flooring. Romita Comedor is known for authentic Mexican cuisine, great cocktails and live entertainment by well-known DJs. We imagine that the black ceiling fans and cool pendant lighting help the parties go on into the early morning hours...
One of our favorite aspects of the design is the collection of hanging plants throughout the restaurant. The large windows make this beautiful greenery possible.
How to get this dining style in your own home? Here's a start....
1. Emerson Loft Ceiling Fan - 60" Barbeque Black
2. Rio Brass with White Shade Robert Abbey Pendant Light
3. Jamie Young Campaign Silver 30-Inch-H Folding Dining Table
4. Sparrow Modern Brown Wood Set of 2 Dining Chairs
5. Langdon Wood and Bronze Metal 42-Inch-H Barstool

Over here in California, we're in a drought. So, to ease our pain, we decided to read about homes that have an abundance of foliage.
This green home was designed by architects Samyn and Partners for a family to use as both their home and workplace. It's located near Brussels and was completed in 2007.
I only wish I could see the interior of the home styled with modern furniture and unique modern lighting, but I suppose I can use my imagination...
At street level, the home features an entry hall, a family room and a kitchen. The living-room and the stairway are in the extension to the building. The second floor includes the master bedroom with its bathroom, as well as five children's rooms and small bathrooms.
The vegetalised facade is composed of exotic plants chosen by the botanical artist Patrick Blanc.
I must give credit to one of our ESL contributors for the title of this post... Justina Blakeney has a very cool series on her Instagram account called 'Face the Foliage' where she creates art with foliage.

Tango on the Rios Contract
"Presume WAR of 1.2 for 2009, then 3.3 in 2010, 2.8 in 2011, 2.3 in 2012, 1.8 in 2013, 1.3 in 2014. That's 12.7 WAR expected through 2014. The total remaining to be paid is 61.5MM. If we keep the economy in a depression at 4.4MM per win in 2009 and 2010, and then add 8% per year after that, those wins would cost 62.7MM on the open market. Basically, you can reasonably make the case that Rios' contract exactly pays for his talent level, and therefore has no surplus value. If he's better than I've got him listed, then he's got surplus value. If he wins will become more costly in the future, then he's got surplus value. If he ages better than the drop I've noted, then he's got surplus value. If he's worse than I've got him listed, then he's got negative surplus value (i.e., mortgage value greater than the equity in the property). "

Holy Cross outworked host Air Force to win 6-4 Friday night to record its first victory over the Falcons since Oct. 30, 2004, and its first in Atlantic Hockey Association play.
"They looked like a team trying to beat us for the first time in 11 tries," said Air Force junior Jacques Lamoureux. "We had too many passengers tonight. We had too many guys hanging back looking for someone else to make the play."
And Holy Cross (6-13-5, 5-9-4 AHA) took advantage, especially in the first 12 minutes of the second period.
Air Force was lucky to only be trailing 4-3 entering the third period.
Two power-play goals against the nation's top penalty kill (90.3 percent coming in) gave the Crusaders a 3-2 lead. An even-strength goal by Rob Forshner made it 4-2 with 9:34 left in the second.
"I looked up and we were trailing 28-13 in shots," Falcons coach Frank Serratore said. "I told them during intermission that the first goal scored in the second would be big and we gave up the next three goals."
The two power-play goals that put Holy Cross ahead for good were set up by faceoff wins by the Crusaders in the Air Force end.
"Our intensity was bad and we were bad on the dot," Serratore said. "We were not very good in the 1-on-1 battles."
While the team as a whole struggled, some excellent individual efforts kept the Crusaders from pulling away early.
The Falcons' Derrick Burnett knocked in his own rebound on a power play to make it 4-3, Crusaders, with 6:53 left in the second.
An Air Force rally looked possible headed into the third period, only to see Holy Cross's Luke Miller score on the Crusaders' first shot of the period to go up 5-3.
Lamoureux scored on a 5-on-3 power play to make it 5-4, but Holy Cross was able to control the neutral zone as it did all game long and force the puck along the boards, slowing down the Falcons.
Lamoureux scored an unassisted goal, pouncing on a Holy Cross turnover, to give the Falcons (11-9-5, 11-5-5 AHA) a 2-1 lead headed into the second.

Rosh Hashanah surrounded me yesterday in the streets of Brooklyn and in Prospect Park as the Jewish community celebrated their new year. I loved it. The energy of family photographs in the park, children dressed in holiday best, and the anticipation of what a new year may bring resonated with my own hopes for this new year that we start as a family in Brooklyn.
Associated with these aspirations, and never far from my heart, is the Chikumbuso Project as it continues under the direction of women like Lisa, Trudy, Beauty, and others. Over these past six months I have seen growth in their daily determination to work hard, love, and give back. Hearing from those at the project and seeing photos of all that has taken place over these past six months brings my heart's thoughts to peace, to Shalom, and all this word incorporates. Shalom is more than a greeting of peace, it is a wish for wholeness in the lives of those who receive it. In Ng'ombe it is wholeness brought to these women who struggle daily to feed their families, keep them healthy and send them to school. Chikumbuso has brought wholeness and balance to the orphan children as they attend our free school and learn to heal by confronting their losses and moving on in hope. The presence of Shalom brings a freedom from injustice as young adults pick back up their lives through learning to tailor and cook knowing that facing stigma can empower them to become part of something so much bigger than themselves. Receiving and giving back on a daily basis to the community has healed the wounds of so many at Chikumbuso. This gift of wholeness, that you are giving as you continue to be a part of Chikumbuso, through your support and love, enables each member of our community to stand on their own and to stand together as one in love.
In this "new year" of Brooklyn my worries for Chikumbuso have been alleviated by your willingness to carry on as I transition to a new role, trusting that Chikumbuso is so much more than a project to those in Ng'ombe. It is their life, their reality and I am assured that they will never let it go. And I will continue to help Chikumbuso grow by creating and growing our Chikumbuso community here, for just as in Ng'ombe, our mission statement in the US is: To remember those who have died, to remember where we come from, and to remember to do for others. Please reach out to me if you are interested in having me come and speak in your community, or if you'd like to become more involved in the coming year. There will be many new opportunities to grow your relationship to this whole and loving community.
So I leave you with a Rosh Hashanah blessing, " shana tova u'metukah" may this be "a good and sweet year" to come. Blessings on each and every one of you.

The past month has been a pretty tough one for us as far as health issues.
Concussion, injuries, the flu and now some new illness, including one ear infection.
When we tried to treat the ear infection with home remedies, I got a shocker. A natural remedy for ear infection that was unbelievable. And really worked! I just had to write and tell you all about it.
It all started when we went roller skating with our church and I decided to take a good run at it even though I'd only roller skated once in my life.
In elementary school.
I ended up with a concussion and a badly injured tailbone and elbow. My arm still isn't acting quite normal.
Then, the boys and I ended up with the flu.
A bad one.
One of those "I don't know if I am going to live through this" illnesses.
When we were all starting to be on the mend, we had a meeting at church and our kids hung out with other sick kiddos while we met with the adults.
I figured, "Well, we've all got the same thing that's going around, right?"
Oldest son came down with an ear infection.
Turns out one of the kids they were playing with had an ear infection so I guess we had different bugs.
Anyway, it's been a looong time since we've had one of these in our home. You can read how I dealt with our last bout with the dreaded ear infection in "How We Avoided the Pink Stuff".
He was in a lot of pain.
I tried some things I knew about, like helichrysm and Spice Traders (Native American Nutritional's anti-bacterial blend that's like Thieves) around the ear.
Other Natural Remedies for Ear Infection:
We tried:
1. Vitamin C
2. some Chinese herbal preparations recommended by our practitioner (She always recommends Yin Chiao Jin [this link is to the child's version] whenever we are sick, and Coptis Purge for infections.)
- and my DIY saline wash.
Thought about using:
3. I thought about using garlic oil, but a good natural resource told me that sometimes putting garlic oil in the ear can lead to heavy-duty detoxing that can cause more problems.
I wasn't in the mood for more problems, plus we were out of fresh garlic.
4. And I'm not breastfeeding anymore. Breastmilk was always my standby for ear pain. Sigh.
So I searched the internet for more ideas, and then asked my great Facebook fans for their advice.
One of the ideas from my readers (you guys are great!) really peaked my interest……so after the pain still wasn't budging, I checked it out on the internet.
It looked like a valid option.
What was it?
That's right. Good old fashioned, everyone's.got.some.in.their.home pee.
Any other time I might not have been open to this, but it turns out we're trying urine for another ailment in our home and it really appears to be working.
I'll be sharing that with you all soon, I hope.
Anyway, I talked my son into it (it wasn't that hard since he was feeling so bad. But you know–the idea of putting urine in your ear isn't that easy to deal with at first).
In went 2 drops (yes, we used his pee).
About 5 minutes later, I heard faint snoring on the sofa.
He'd fallen asleep.
To be fair, the pain did come back somewhat after awhile so we put him to bed with more urine and 2-3 drops of basil essential oil on a cotton ball. (And some duct tape to keep it from falling out. Bandaids just didn't work.)
The next morning, he felt a ton better.
And each night since he has asked for the same remedy.
Urine. Basil oil. Cotton ball.
Simple and cheap.
More and more the human body amazes me.
Breastmilk and urine as natural health cures.
Really something.
I'm all about avoiding antibiotics and pharmaceuticals whenever possible. I wrote about how antibiotics and other drugs affect gut health in my Candida and How I Went Sugar-Free series.
When my kid is in pain, I'm for trying almost anything. Almost :).
Here are More Natural Health Topics:
- Eczema and Food Allergies – From Despair to Healing
- Did Vaccines Cause My Son's Autism?
- How a Mercury Filling Almost Took My Son's Life
- Natural Autism Healing–Monster Included
- Natural Sleep Help for Kids–And Adults
Where Do I Buy Essential Oils?:
Interested in essential oils?
I recommend Native American Nutritionals.
Read my Best Essential Oils Series to find out why. It got VERY interesting along the way. And I do have some oils left on my store page on clearance.
Remember, as always, the information in this post is for entertainment purposes and is not to be construed as medical advice. Consult your medical practitioner for advice before doing anything outlined here–K :)?
One more disclaimer. There are some interesting resources on the web talking about urine cures. I by no means say you should do any of these, but if you read through the comments on my post there are some pretty interesting ones.
Wives Tales and Folks Remedies for Ear Infections
This site has some very interesting facts about the composition of urine and the World Conference on Urine Therapy.
And here is book on Amazon entitled, what else—Urine Therapy. It's written by a Ph.D. who manages a naturopathic healing center in Hamburg, Germany.
Who knew?
What do you think? Would you ever try urine in your kid's ear?

Targeted because of skin colour says Lawrence
Stuart Lawrence - whose brother Stephen was the victim of a racist attack in 1993 - says he was forced to complain to police after he was pulled over in November, near his home in Peckham.
The 35 year old teacher claims that when he asked officers why he'd been stopped, he was told they were "naturally suspicious" of him.
He sent a letter of complaint to the Metropolitan Police yesterday, naming officers he claims were involved in the latest incident. Mr Lawrence told the Daily Mail:
– Stuart Lawrence
I am being targeted because of the colour of my skin, I don't think it's because I am Stephen's brother.
Whenever I have been stopped, I have never subsequently been charged with anything, and nothing has ever been found to be wrong with my car.
I have never, ever, done anything wrong. I have never been in trouble with the law. I have paid my road tax and my insurance, and always tried to keep my cars in a roadworthy state.

(From the FanPosts. - TZ)
Tom Thibodeau is not a coaching option. He has no experience. He has no championship rings. He may or may not be able to dunk the ball. He's starting to go bald (a little), and is therefore not sexy enough. Clearly, this paragraph is all crap - we know bald is beautiful baby, Boston defense sure as hell won a championship ring, and he has had lots of experience. Just not the head coaching kind.
While I originally intended to do an exhaustive performance study, I'm not really that kind of guy. And truthfully, I can't really say how much of a defensive addition he's been to most teams, because he's mostly coached with JVG, and I'm not sure how to seperate his performance from Jeffs. Instead, I choose to stare dreamingly at the Google image search of "Tom Thibodeau," "Coach Thib," "Thibodeau coaching" and "Coach Thib upskirt." While these searches revealed various characteristics of the man, the myth, the not-yet-a-legend, it also made one thing exceedingly clear. It showed the truth behind the fire that supports the defense his teams are known for.
How does this man instill that defensive intensity? The intensive defensive is a careful result of the pensive perspective. In less rhymetastic fashion: mean-mugging is the Coach Thib way. The indisputable visual evidence:
The man is not happy on the sidelines when the opposing team has the ball, furious when the opposing point guard is dribbling up the court, and downright incendiary when the opposing big man has the ball on the block (DENY THE POST POSITION). The man is only happy watching his defense crush your opponents offense, and that only results in a sneer. Stare into that face, then tell him you don't want to play defense. I dare you. LOOK INTO THOSE EYES AND SAY IT. Science now allows us to examine the raw fire emanating from this eyes. First I must warn all those who have performed Lasik surgery*, are pregnant, have sensitivity to heat or are shorter than Eric Musselman to look away - you can't ride this ride. Now, an infra-red image of the man's face:
The man is hot fire, he looks through the player and cooks out the man. Unformed dough turns into bread in this man's presence, and not just wonderbread, I'm talking whole grain, baby. Look at him - he's melting through your screen - DON'T TOUCH IT! And if you think that's hot:
LOOK AT THAT - el hombre es muy caliente. As our second-favorite Dominican Al Horford would say: Fuego! Only straight sexy can rock a mullet on national television. Yeah, that was in Houston, what can I say - THE MAN KNOWS TRENDS.
Why do I want Tom Thibodeau? He's not just a defense man; He's a defense, man. I don't know if you're paying attention to the Magic-Celtics series, but they're playing great defense without Kevin Garnett. Kendrick Perkins is locking down Dwight Howard. Locking. Dwight. Down. Rajon Rondo is one of the better perimeter defenders in the L. Hell, even Glen Davis can slow Rashard Lewis, and he's got enough baby fat for the entire Magic roster.
Having Thibodeau as coach is singlehandedly the fastest, most effective way to change the defensive tenacity of this roster. The coaching change would be more effective than any roster additions through draft or free agency. He's not just a coach that will teach defense, he's a coach that will make this team defend. When you have a roster of gifted offensive players, you don't need an offensive-minded coach. When you've got an offensive system in place, with the man who created it teaching your players, you don't need an offensive-minded coach. Why draft Thabeet when you can turn Hawes into a defensive beast (we know he has the toolset!). Should Martin be doomed to be forever known as a defensive liability? Finally, can a brother play Donté?
Now I know he's got no head coaching experience. Apparently he's good with communicating with players, but we know this already (the eyes - NO ONE CAN DENY THE EYES!). I have little evidence to show he's good at developing young players. Selecting him would mean the Kings would need to invest heavily in a supporting staff. Which is fine, the more teachers for the kids, the better. But let's play some defense, man.
*If you have had the surgery performed on you, stare away. But you optometrists better beware.

Niceville Travel Tips
Niceville Vacation Rentals Offer Boating and Comfortable Living
Among Florida Panhandle waterfront rentals, some of the most successful rental properties are found on the Emerald Coast, which includes Niceville. Located in a comfortable suburban area, Niceville beach homes mostly lie along the Boggy Bayou, which opens into the Choctawhatchee Bay. This area is particularly desirable for boaters, since the bay, though filled with ocean water, generally maintains a much calmer and flatter surface than ocean shore waters do, being protected from ocean waves by Santa Rosa Island and the Destin peninsula.
Niceville Beach Homes Have the Best of Both Worlds
Though Niceville beach homes offer the full Florida Panhandle beach experience, they can do so while keeping out of the mix of the most undesirable environments associated with Florida Panhandle waterfront rentals. Despite their proximity to other popular vacation spots, Niceville vacation rentals do not have to worry about the crowded clamor that is characteristic of those areas. With Niceville's population of about 12,000, Niceville vacation rentals offer a simpler, subtler alternative to these more congested areas while maintaining a desirable proximity to some of the best boating areas in the Florida Panhandle.
VRBO.com Offers the Best of Florida Panhandle Waterfront Rentals
Why do things the way everyone else does? While many other vacationers may go to the crowded hotels and resorts of the Florida Panhandle, you can find superior options through VRBO.com. Don't spend your vacation on overcrowded beaches or in a tiny hotel room. Why feel like a visitor in a cold hotel room when you can make yourself feel at home in a comfortable house? You can rely on VRBO.com to connect you with some of the best private rental properties in the Florida Panhandle. Make the most of your vacation by booking a waterfront rental in a spacious and luxurious private rental property.

Keep Your Pet's Bowl Ant-Free!
The Antblocker Pet Food Tray is the most effective, 100% ANT-FREE Pet Food Tray available! The Ant-Blocker Pet Food Tray has been field tested in middle Georgia for 10 years with 100% success. It is designed for use outdoors or indoors, wherever you feed your pet. For 100% effectiveness avoid placing the Ant-Blocker in high grass, against walls, fences, chairs, dog houses, shrubs or trees, anything that the ants can use to form a 'bridge' gaining access to the top of the tray. The Ant-Blocker's secret is the patented water moat; it is 100% effective in keeping ants from reaching your pet's food. Eventually the ants will stop coming to the area altogether, when they can't get to any food. Check, empty, and refill once or twice a week to maintain full ant free effectiveness and to eliminate a mosquito breeding environment (more often depending on your geographical climate).
After placing your Ant-Blocker in the desired spot, fill the water reservoir through the convenient hole in the top of the Ant-Blocker. (Pour water in slowly to avoid splashing) The water reservoir will hold 8 cups of water. We recommend keeping at least 6 cups of water in the reservoir for 100% effectiveness. Place your pet's food bowl on top of the Ant-Blocker and let them enjoy their meal – ANT-FREE!

This is what e-magazines should have always been. A sparkling layout, embedded animations, video and audio. Compared to what Wired has done, the other magazines offered, like Time and Popular Science, feel pretty much like tarted up PDF files.
Adobe created the translation for the iPad for Conde Nast, publisher of Wired. Originally, it was going to be Flash based, but when Steve Jobs put the clamps on that, Adobe re-did everything in Apple-approved Objective-C.
Wired for iPad, released today, is a dazzler. There are 3D renderings you control by moving your hand, videos that look crisp, and some interactive features that are very helpful in getting a full understanding of the subject matter. I especially enjoyed the tour of the Mars missions, the tribute to the Industrial Light and Magic special effects factory, and the interactive view of what is inside Worcestershire sauce. Many of the ads are interactive as well, finally giving readers a reason to learn more about a product.

This Is somtething i've been thinking about after UFC 144.
Just a quick something to think about: After UFC 144 Benson Henderson beat Frankie Edgar to become the UFC lightweight champion meanwhile Anthony Pettis blasted Joe Lauzon in the head essentially claiming a shot at the title next. In the final show of WEC Pettis defeated Henderson to claim the WEC lightweight title then was transfered to the UFC with a gaurenteed title shot but was delayed by the Frankie Edgar/Gray maynard draw so while they figured that out Pettis decided to take a risk and fight Clay Guida figuratively losing the WEC title to Clay. Now the man that Pettis beat( Ben Henderson) also transferred over to the UFC and went on a tear beating Mark Bocek, Jim Miller and the man Pettis lost the "WEC Title" to, Clay Guida. Henderson beat Guida effectively taking back his WEC title and gaining a shot at the UFC title which this last saturday he won by a 5 round decision and now for the ultimate bit of MMA irony: the now UFC (and figurative WEC) lightweight champion Ben Henderson will now fight the man that beat him for the title that he essentially got back anyways in Anthony Pettis! This folks is why I love MMA you could not make up a better storyline than that! Facebook.com/GeekfightMMA

Associated Press - January 26, 2010 12:14 PM ET
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Jackson Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr. says he will seek state and federal funds to make repairs to the city's aging water system.
Johnson says residents over the years have paid for multiple upgrades to the water system through higher water and sewer bills. He tells The Clarion-Ledger that's not an option this time.
A series of frigid days earlier this month caused more than 150 water main breaks and a citywide notice to residents to boil their tap water before drinking it.
Since 1997, officials say the city has replaced 234,800 feet of water line has been replaced at a cost of nearly $40 million.
City officials say updating the water distribution system would cost $76.2 million, based on estimates in a 1997 master plan.

Tom Cruise
Overview: Arguably the biggest star on this list and Planet Earth, Tom Cruise can act -- that is... when he wants to (see this Cruise Essentials list for evidence and or this list of Early Performances Before He Was Famous.) The problem with Tom Cruise, like many of these A-listers, is he usually doesn't get out of bed unless there's he's taking on some kind of huge event movie or tentpole. In other words, Tom Cruise does nothing small and the days of the megastar taking a minor, but essential, part in a Paul Thomas Anderson movie (see "Magnolia," one of Cruise's finest performances) may be a thing of the past. Cruise generally only uses his green light power -- choosing what he deigns to appear in and what is thus instantly whisked into production -- for blockbuster franchises or would-be franchises and very little else.
The Way He Wields His Power For "Good": Admittedly, the star has put his green light power behind two "original" high concept films in the last 12-18 months (yes, original being a very relative term.) One, he greenlit Joseph Kosinski's ambitious sci-fi movie "Oblivion" which was so expensive it would never have been made had Cruise or some other A-lister agreed to star in it (quality wise, well, we're not talking about that now are we...) He agreed to star in "All You Need Is Kill," another sci-fi project from auteur Doug Liman, based around effects and time travel. 'Kill' arguably wasn't getting made unless Cruise stepped up to the plate, which he did. We would argue that Bryan Singer's "Valkyrie" falls into this category, even if it attempts the ridiculous hero-complexing of turning a Nazi (Cruise of course) into a good guy. His hilariously unexpected turn as Les Grossman in "Tropic Thunder" is probably his best left-field choice in ages, but the mooted solo Grossman film seems more dubious. Yes, there are the "Collateral"s of the world, but they feel like a lifetime ago and another era.
The Way He Wields His Power For "Evil": "Evil" being relative, obviously. Cruise, as we noted above tends to take a lot of safe blockbuster choices that will not only do financially well at the box-office, but maybe even more importantly, will reaffirm his position as the world's biggest star. And he's not even looking for financial windfalls; Cruise could never spend all the money he's made in his lifetime. His choices appear to be simply to retain and polish his status. So that means "Mission Impossible" movies that vary in quality and occasionally take on some interesting directors and it means a lot of would-be franchise like "Jack Reacher" (which probably failed in that respect) and the aforementioned "All You Need Is Kill" (which makes the Liman project less appealing.) One could even cynically argue that "Oblivion" leaves the door open for sequels. Even an original project with a respectable director ("Knight and Day" with James Mangold) seemed to be geared towards the lowest common denominator.
Future Projects: Cruise obviously has "Mission Impossible 5" in the works mostly to just continue his A-list, box-office hegemony, but don't expect "Jack Reacher" director Christopher McQuarrie to ultimately helm it. Cruise wants another mega-hit and McQuarrie has probably demonstrated that he can't deliver there yet (though evidence of ultimate "good" would be Cruise taking another chance on the writer-turned-director.) There's remake of the "The Magnificent Seven" which feels all too safe, and we suppose Cruise dropping out of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E. ," a surefire franchise, could be seen as a good sign, but it's possible that script just sucks. If you really want to hear obnoxious however, rewind to 2008 where Cruise lorded over five projects (including David Cronenberg's "The Matarese Circle") and decided which one he would take. Essentially interested, but not sold on any of them, he hired McQuarrie to punch them all up to his liking/specifications and then in the end he chose "Knight & Day" (blech) and "Valkryie" (meh).
In Summary: Regardless of our assessment of "Oblivion" and some of his other recent films, Cruise isn't as bad as some of the people on this list. Yes, times have changed, but we'd love to see him take on another "Collateral"-like character drama for once. He tips towards the evil, but sadly, Johnny Depp makes everyone look good these days.
Brad Pitt
If you'd told us in the early nineties that the eye candy boy from "Thelma and Louise" and "A River Runs Through It" was going to mature into maybe one of the most committed and interesting star/producers in Hollywood, we'd have probably not believed it (in our defense, we'd have barely been a teenager.) But starting perhaps with his terrific, tragic turn in David Fincher's "Se7en" which the actor took as a reaction against "the pretty boy stuff," Pitt deviated from the path we might have prescribed for him in a quietly impressive way. For every all-out, tentpole, name-above-the-title gig ("Troy," "Mr & Mrs Smith,") there've been several big films in which Pitt was content to take a smaller role, often within an ensemble, ("Twelve Monkeys," "Snatch," the 'Oceans' trilogy, "Inglourious Basterds") and several other films from fledgling or auteur directors that feel like they were more about getting the film made than bumping his profile ("Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," "Moneyball" even "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.") As misleading as this might be, a glimpse at Pitt's filmography therefore gives the impression that, unlike some of the other actors we feature here, Pitt's primary focus has never been on making sure he stays super-famous -- instead he uses his profile to help get prestige projects made and in the process lands himself some plum roles ("Tree of Life," 'Assassination.') We can't help but feel that in the topsy-turvy world of Hollywood, Pitt may be one of the only stars going about this the right way round.
The Way He Wields His Power For "Good": Pitt earned our admiration in a big way in 2011 when he singlehandedly (and this is according to superproducer Scott Rudin) brought "Moneyball" back from the brink of death following Sony baulking at the original Soderbergh-directed package. That film, finally directed by Bennett Miller, turned out to be a terrific, smart, adult drama, amply rewarding Pitt's faith and perseverance, and also giving him one of his best recent roles. His involvement in "Tree of Life" (which would probably have gotten made without him, in fairness, but still) and "Killing Them Softly" haven't hurt his image as the thinking-filmgoer's superstar of choice either, especially as both of them boast roles for him as an actor that, while integral, are not necessarily the leads, and certainly not what anyone would call "heroes" (Mr Smith & Mr Cruise could take note.)
The Way He Wields His Power For "Evil": Of course, one big test of Pitt's clout will be the notoriously troubled, soon-arriving "World War Z." While early word on the film is mixed-to-positive, and therefore maybe better than we'd feared, the first trailers, the reports of director/star clashes (uncharacteristic for Pitt, it should be said) and the significant alteration of the story from its source novel all have us a bit muted in our expectation here. It's a shame though, because when we initially heard that Pitt's Plan B shingle had taken the rights to Max Brooks' zombie novel, we were excited, hoping that Pitt & Co would recognise that the genius of the book lay in the docu-realist way it portrayed the aftermath of a zombie outbreak, and that a small-scale "District 9"-style production could do it great justice without necessarily breaking the bank. Instead, Pitt seems to have seen in it a potential franchise-starter (his first) and we have hordes of zombies pouring through city streets and a beefed-up central hero role for Pitt himself… we'll reserve judgement for now, but reports of cost overruns and a fractious set have already dented Pitt's crown a bit.
Future Projects: That said, Pitt is taking an acting/producing role on Steve McQueen's "Twelve Years A Slave" too, and if even a quarter of his other 26 currently listed developing projects come to pass (our fingers are especially crossed for "The Fortress of Solitude" among others,) there'll more than likely be enough to expunge the memory of any missteps. Plan B does take a lot of risks with the material they champion, so we guess that Pitt needs to refresh his big-star tentpole relevance every now and then in order to be able to continue with his good works elsewhere. We can chalk 'Z' down to that if needs be... and meantime we can anticipate the David Ayer-directed WWII tank movie "Fury" which is due in 2014 and in its combination of action and drama again sees Pitt aiming slightly higher than some of his contemporaries, into that territory where smarts and action/adventure meet.
In Summary: Pitt's a force for good, we believe. It feels (mostly) like he seeks out projects and filmmakers he believes in passionately, and only secondarily to that does he look for what those films can do for him.
(Sort Of) Honorable Mention
Well, that's kind of it. Thanks to "Avengers" and "Iron Man 3" (which could surpass the former at the billion plus box-office gross), Robert Downey Jr. will soon be joining this club. His Team Downey production shingle is already starting to develop projects that, like DiCaprio, he will self-green light by starring in them ("Perry Mason," "Pinocchio" "Yucatan"). And his Marvel movies are giving him more clout, but it remains to be seen how he'll use it exactly -- and how he'll have the time -- if he's going to re-up for "Avengers 2 & 3" and "Iron Man 4." There's George Clooney too, and while he's too old to greenlight blockbusters -- see him dropping out of Soderbergh's version of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." because of his back problems (Clooney himself has ruled himself out of these kinds of gigs because he simply can't endure it physically,) he does have some power. You'll recall that Alfonso Cuaron needed some big male star to help greenlight his long-in-gestation sci-fi epic "Gravity." At first it was Robert Downey Jr. and when he dropped out, Cuaron went to Clooney. So it's not like his draw is entirely gone. It's also that Clooney's preoccupations are more about mid-size dramas than A-listers using their clout for gigantic projects. Anyhow, your thoughts? What's your take on how we've sized up some of the world's biggest stars? -- Jessica Kiang, Rodigo Perez

1. The writers at the Onion have a strange, unnatural obsession with Black children that makes one wonder about the demographic of the editorial staff. There have been frequent sightings of mean-spirited commentary on Sasha Obama, Quvenzhane Wallis, and now Jaden Smith.
2. The star and lead protagonist of After Earth is Jaden Smith, not Will Smith, so it makes no sense to compare Jaden's box office revenue to Will Smith's two decades of greatest hits.
3. Will Smith would be better served with direction by Spike Lee or Lee Daniels or Steve McQueen moreso than Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino's desire for hipster coolness overshadows artistry as a comparison of 12 Years a Slave to Django Unchained will show.
Chinny | July 1, 2013 4:51 PM
Yes, two of the biggest movie stars, Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, really did make a movie together once, and yes, the movie received middlin/mediocre ratings on RT and meta critic (more awful movies get ranked and trashed on a weekly basis though, don't know why this one's 'fair' critiques are overblown)...
....however yes, it did gross almost 300 million worldwide (see the term, blockbuster, defined)...and despite all the odd, intense revisionist jackhole disdain, it was NOT Gigli, nor was it anything approaching the pathetic pablum rom com duds that Pitt's ex assaults us with, seemingly tri-annually.
Get a grip, and please get over it.
Jeff | June 9, 2013 2:18 PM
Call me crazy, but we could see Channing Tatum make a run for this club. He could easily grab Will Smith's spot as being the likeable everyman in blockbuster tentpoles, especially since Will has lost his grasp on what make audiences like him in the first place. He opened up 3 different movies, only one of which was based on an established property, at over $35 million domestic, grossing over $100 million each time. His next 3 movies, White House Down, 21 Jump Street 2, and Jupiter Ascending all look to have a really good chance to either match or eclipse those. In a year or two, this will either read genius or insane, depending on the Wachowskis, most likely.

For a decade, people have been saying, whenever a new DiCaprio movie was announced: Oh, he's all wrong for that part, miscast, he won't be able to pull that off. Every. Goddam. Time. From The Aviator through J. Edgar, Inception, Django and Gatsby. And he always nails it.
Now, suddenly, the criticism is: he's always playing it safe. Good grief, he just can't win, can he?
JD | June 5, 2013 9:17 AM
I enjoy coming to this site from time to time for its blunt and (mostly honest) editorial content and less industry based than some of the competition but I've noticed recently how hard the Playlist team are pushing Lone Ranger as a must-see summer blockbuster seemingly, because you were invited to an early footage screening for the press.
Since when did it become a "sure to be tentpole hit"?. I'm sure what you saw was entertaining but the film itself remains to be seen by most so let's not get ahead of ourselves considering its only tracking to top out at 122 million domestically and critically its highly unlikely to be showered with praise. Can you at least wait till you see the finished package before making outlandish claims.

What about Matt Damon?
MBrane | June 4, 2013 9:46 AM
Spot on about Brad Pitt, he has the most interesting choices. A bit harsh on diCaprio in the Aviator, I thought. Felt he worked there, though not in most of his other Scorsese adaptations. More like Django would be good (he was the best thing in it).
Depp has had a lot of good movies over the years and still attempts the odd interesting thing (Public Enemies, Rum Diary). His Tonto looks fun (ish) and nice to see a Native American lead character (even if he's only marginally Native). Transcendence might be good.
Think Will Smith is the most "evil" on your list - he's had very few interesting movies in his past, very few good performances, and seems to have almost no interest in playing non-schmaltzy or non-action roles. Pity as he has some charm and a bit of talent. Just terrible taste.
Tobi | June 4, 2013 8:29 AM
Your assessment on Depp had me dying in laughter. Even funnier because it's all true. And I've been arguing that point with DiCaprio for a decade now; all of his roles have the same 'anti-hero, emotionally flawed' blueprint to them like you mentioned, just to various degrees and different settings. That's why Django was just a relief. I'm very interested in Jolie directing more films, especially smaller more passion driving projects as was mentioned here. And I was wondering where Clooney was in this, but your points (he's older and his projects are more cerebral then huge blockbusters) are spot on.
Cromby Mouse | June 4, 2013 8:27 AM
There are kinda limited actors like Matt Damon who choose projects so carefully that they practically never have misfires. And on the other hand there is Hugh Jackman who, in my opinion, is more gifted artisticaly but prefers to participate in crap movies.
Ned | June 3, 2013 11:24 PM
Leo really needs to try something new. So far he's been a one trick pony.
Noah | June 3, 2013 8:23 PM
I mean, can you fault the guy for not wanting to star in Terry Gilliamâs âThe Man Who Killed Don Quixoteâ after the disastrous first attempt well-documented in âThe Man From La Mancha?â
I do. It wasn't Gilliam's fault that Quixote fell apart the first time around. But what I really fault Depp for is developing his own Quixote project without so much as a courtesy call to Gilliam, who was supposedly his friend. He's the new Marlon Brando: A boring, money-grubbing sell-out whose best work is LONG since behind him.
Mitchell | June 3, 2013 7:11 PM
Willow Smith isn't starring in Annie, Quvenzhane Wallis is.
Tom | June 3, 2013 6:49 PM
Interesting piece! Indeed, it is disgusting to see Depp's awful track list from the last couple of years.. On the other hand, mad props for Pitt. His mishaps (Mr. and Mrs. Smith!) are easily forgotten when you have the Tree of Life, Moneyball, and the Assassination to counter it.
I maybe expected an "honorable mention" for Ryan Gosling. Drive would have been a generic piece of crap without him picking Refn to turn it into a masterpiece, and didn't he kickstart Cianfrance's career as well? Agreed, he does not have tha A-list allure or franchise to put him in the list as a full-on member, but being (at least partially) responsible for Refn and Cianfrance is not bad, is it?
SUP | June 3, 2013 5:18 PM
I disagree about DiCaprio playing the same role in every movie. The only time that happened was in 2010 when he did play very similar characters in both Inception and Shutter Island. Whether he was too young to play Howard Hughes in The Aviator is a matter of opinion so that's fair, but as I understand it DiCaprio brought that to Scorsese, not the other way around.
AE | June 3, 2013 4:59 PM
Do any of them really hold that much power? They earn a lot of people a lot of money, and I imagine those people are very careful their wards don't stray too far from 'acceptable taste' and the star's projected image.
Thomas | June 3, 2013 4:26 PM
I have to disagree with your assessment of DiCaprio. I think it's a bit unfair and off base. There seems to be an underlying contempt masked as constructive criticism. He's the finest actor of his generation, one who has only gotten better with each role. There's nothing "boring" or "safe" about any of the choices he makes. He's constantly challenging himself and only trying broaden his horizons seeing how much more he can grow. Shutter Island is his greatest performance to date, in fact. He's never less than consistent, and is one of the more versatile actors on the planet. That you find them all to be a variation of the same character is perhaps more an unwillingness to get to the core of the characters he portrays (perhaps through a distraction by his boyish looks, or whatever), and the different complexities and nuances they carry, not through any problem of his own. He's been stretching his wings with quality projects and filmmakers, that maybe otherwise wouldn't have gotten the attention they deserve without his presence since 1993, but for some people, I guess that will simply never be enough. I see the out of place comment about the women in his life, and can't help but think you're letting his lifestyle color your perceptions of him and seep into your consciousness of him as an artist.
There was no miscalculation with The Aviator either. It's one of the best, most harrowing and accurate portrayals of OCD you'll ever see anywhere. That was a revelatory performance. And, judging only from the nominees that year, should've been an Oscar-winning one, too.
If there's one area in which he can improve, I would say that he perhaps takes himself and his work a bit too seriously and could stand a lighter approach once in awhile, which he accomplished in Django Unchained. But it's a minor quibble, at least as far as I'm concerned.
kitcon | June 3, 2013 4:20 PM
Smith -- Django showed how risk averse he is w/ his acting choices. He probably thought he was using his power for good in getting Shyamalan a job. He seems more interested in his kids and producing. The results of After Earth probably worry him more for Jaden's career than his own. Which means he'll next be focused on finding a film that will give Jaden a hit.
DiCaprio - All those directors are great but almost all of them would not have had much problem getting another star in his place and their films still green lit. It would be nice to see him work with lesser known directors in more intimate films.
Jolie - She's next directing Unbroken and got the Coens to rewrite the script which in itself shows her clout. Everyone knows she's a bit of an oddball ( and I don't mean that negatively). She either makes films she is passionate about or as a matter of expediency. She made your fav The Tourist because she wanted her kids to vacation in Venice. But now that she is no longer worried about her physical longevity perhaps she'll be more focused.
Depp - Perhaps it's a midlife crisis kind of thing where despite all he has, he's worried that it might not be enough. He complained about taxes in France too and asked for $15M to make The Rum Diary -- his own passion project.
Cruise -- I think he just loves being a star -- perks, pay and all. And he sees action movies as his best bet to staying in the mix. Hence the back to back to back action flicks.
Pitt - Z sounds like its a decent Summer blockbuster. He can be forgiven for wanting his own franchise. He's got bills to pay and has not had the mega paydays that Smith, Cruise, Depp and Downey have had.

âThe Imagination of Doctor Parnassusâ is a near-abomination
Really? I think that's quite extreme. It's not up there with the best of Gilliam's work but I didn't think it was anywhere near terrible.
Chris | June 3, 2013 3:55 PM
Sorry, but DiCaprio was fantastic in "The Aviator." He would have been a far more worthy Oscar winner than Jamie Foxx and his shallow mimicry in "Ray." (Though my personal choice of the nominated bunch, since Paul Giamatti wasn't nominated, would have been Don Cheadle from "Hotel Rwanda.")
Nolan | June 3, 2013 3:49 PM
Surprised there was no mention of Pitt nearly putting "The Fountain" to bed. Then again, the film may have been better off with a smaller budget, but who knows. Honestly, though, I think Brad Pitt has done better work than most of the people on this list. Leo plays it safe (and Gatsby is awful,) and I can't remember the last time Johnny Depp was in a good movie. Oh, wait, he was in "Before Night Falls" for a few minutes.
Sexton Blake | June 3, 2013 3:17 PM
Angelina's recent announcement regarding her double mastectomy far exceeds any film she could greenlit for 'good', no?
blahblah boo boo | June 3, 2013 3:17 PM
Does Cruise really still have "greenlight power" In the Mountains of Madness and the Cameron Crowe Marvin Gaye film were shelved with Cruise attached. Disney even shitcanned Oblivion, Universal grabbed that in turnaround.
Dave | June 3, 2013 2:57 PM
Downey has joined the dark side. Dropping out of Inherent Vice for Perry Mason and Pinnochio? Evil.

Yum! Serve it up with some Maitake mushrooms, garlic, and roasted potatoes, then top things off with some giant cheese crumbles and sliced fig!
Those sausages sure look good! I would serve them hot off the grill with a side of coleslaw and homemade dinner rolls with honey!
Chilean style with Mussels and boiled potatoes!
I would enjoy these on the grill while the weather is still nice enough to go outside here in Michigan! I would also put some of the zucchini relish I recently canned on them with a little spicy mustard! Yumm! :)

U.S. Claims to Support Mideast Uprisings... Then Helps Suppress Them

In recent weeks, Yemeni protesters calling for an immediate end to the 32-year reign of U.S.-backed President Ali Abdullah Saleh have been met with increasing violence at the hands of state security forces. A recent pledge by Saleh to step down, one of many that haven't met demonstrators' demands, has yet to halt the protests or violence by the troops backing his regime. During a demonstration earlier this month in the city of Taiz , protesters marching down a central street were confronted by security forces and Saleh supporters, while government helicopters flew overhead. "The thugs and the security forces fired on us with live gunfire," Mahmud al-Shaobi, one of the protesters told the New York Times. "Many people were shot."
In the days since, more demonstrators have been attacked by government forces -- with the death toll now estimated to exceed 130. Witnesses have also been reporting the increased use of military helicopters in the crackdown. Some of those aircraft may be recent additions to Saleh's arsenal, provided courtesy of the Obama administration as part of an $83-million military aviation aid package.
Since the beginning of 2011, under a program run by the U.S. Department of Defense, the United States has overseen the delivery of several new Bell UH-1Hs, or "Huey II" helicopters, current models of the iconic Huey that served as America's primary gunship and troop transport during the Vietnam War. Although these helicopters are only the latest additions to a sizeable arsenal that the Pentagon has provided to Yemen in recent years, they call attention to how U.S. weapons and assistance support regimes actively suppressing democratic uprisings across the Middle East.
How to Arm a Dictator
Last December, 26-year-old Tunisian fruit-seller Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire in front of a local municipal office, touching off popular protests that continue to sweep across the Middle East and North Africa. By the end of January 2011, the country's U.S.-backed dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had fled and demonstrations, which would eventually also topple corrupt autocrat and long-time U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak, had broken out in Egypt. In Yemen, as is the case elsewhere in the region, anger at government corruption, rampant poverty (40% of all Yemenis live on less than $2 a day), high unemployment (also running at 40%), and decades of harsh rule by an authoritarian strongman brought tens of thousands into the streets.
In January, as freedom struggles were spreading across the region, President Barack Obama publicly avowed support for "certain core values that we believe in as Americans[,] that we believe are universal: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, people being able to use social networking or any other mechanisms to communicate with each other and express their concerns." Just days earlier, however, his government had transferred military equipment to the security forces of Yemen's so-called president for life .
Under the terms of a $27 million contract between the Pentagon and Bell Helicopter, Yemen received four Huey IIs. Prior to this, 12 Yemeni Air Force pilots and 20 maintenance personnel were trained to fly and service the aircraft at Bell's flight instruction facility in Alliance, Texas. "The swift execution of the Yemen Huey II program demonstrates that the military departments -- in this case the U.S. Army -- can quickly deliver defense articles and services to U.S. partners with the cooperation of U.S. industry," said Brandon Denecke of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the branch of the Pentagon that coordinates sales and transfers of military equipment to allies.
