Lobo basketball fans are returning to The Pit Tuesday night to see the team take on Utah State. This, just a few days after a UNM fan threw a cup at another team's player.
On Saturday, a fan threw a cup of liquid at a San Diego State basketball player during the game. Now, UNM is warning fans that this behavior will not be tolerated.
On Monday, KOB Eyewitness News 4 got a statement from Mike Haggerty, the assistant athletic director for events. Haggerty wrote, in part: "The vast majority of Lobo fans are terrific and do things the right way, and we greatly appreciate them. However, we would also like to remind fans that this type of behavior will not be tolerated."
UNM athletic officials told us they think they have the person responsible for the incident. The university received a lot of help from fans in the stands who witnessed the act.
Fans can report any misconduct during games by sending a text message to 78247.

Few know the secret behind the Flying Monks of Ka-zin is not entirely due to their remarkable skill at acrobatics, but also in the colorful belts they wore.
The Macabre style of architecture is common in ancestor venerating societies, or societies that have been afflicted by a long term period of loss of life. The style is best noted for its use of a morbid and gruesome, skulls and bones, severed limbs and the like. It also alternately honors the spirits of the dead with stunning works of art, and mocks death through caricature and comedy. Macabre is the common architectural style in Ozea.

About Patricia Mason
I came to Savannah for a weekend visit about eleven years ago and fell so deeply in love with this quirky and gorgeous city that I soon decided to uproot myself and to leave an established career in order to move to Savannah and make it my home. Having dreamed of being an author since my childhood, I found Savannah to be the inspiration I needed to finish my first novel and now write full time.
Patricia Mason purchased this condo in 2012
Why Patricia Mason chose Savannah
I discovered this little jewel of a condo just recently. Cute and comfortable, I loved it's location in one of my favorite areas of the downtown. I can't wait to share the condo with visitors to Savannah and I hope that it will help to make their stay in the city as magical as was my first visit.
What makes this condo unique
Location, location, location.

Originally written on Pro Football Zone | Last updated 11/3/14
This past Sunday there was a report from USA Today Sports that Redskins orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews said he never cleared quarterback Robert Griffin III to go back into the game against the Ravens in which he originally injured his knee."(Griffin) didn't even let us look at him," Andrews said. "He came off the field, walked through the sidelines, circled back through the players and took off back to the field. It wasn't our opinion."We didn't even get to touch him or talk to him. Scared the hell out of me."Shanahan had told the media after the game that Dr. Andrews had looked Griffin over and cleared him."He's on the sidelines with Dr. Andrews. He had a chance to look at him and he said he could go back in," Shanahan said Dec. 10. "(I said) 'Hey, Dr. Andrews, can Robert go back in?''Yeah, he can go back in.''Robert, go back in.'"That was it," Shanahan said.Shanahan was asked about the conflicting accounts this past Sunday and gave his account.Asked about the discrepancy in accounts, Shanahan on Sunday offered this explanation."Well, after the game we talked in detail. When he went back into the game at that time, I looked over at Dr. Andrews, he said, 'Yeah, he's ok to go back in.' Of course I'm sitting there trying to evaluate Kirk Cousins' play, so when someone says he's OK… Well, what Dr. Andrews is talking about, when I talked to him today, he said, 'Hey, Robert came around and he started showing us he could run; he was sprinting around and then he just took off, so I just figured he was OK. I didn't go through a thorough examination of him until after the game.' I wasn't really sure in what detail he was talking about at that time. He felt Robert – just looking at him run and then take off – that he was ok to go back in. I looked at him for the next three plays, the first time he had Santana [Moss] shell across, the next time he threw a little out-round, and it looked like his footwork was good. But you could see on that last one, where he hit Pierre Garçon, that when he stepped into the pocket that it wasn't right. At that time Pierre caught it and he was trying to kill the clock, but we were going to take him out at that time, and that's when Kirk came in."Andrews, when reached by phone on Monday, concurred with Shanahan's account."Coach Shanahan didn't lie about it, and I didn't lie," Andrews said Monday afternoon. "I didn't get to examine [Griffin's knee] because he came out for one play, didn't let us look at him and on the next play, he ran through all the players and back out onto the field. Coach Shanahan looks at me like, 'Is he OK?' and I give him the 'Hi' sign as in, 'He's running around, so I guess he's OK.' But I didn't get to check him out until after the game. It was just a communication problem. Heat of battle. I didn't get to tell him I didn't get to examine the knee. Mike Shanahan would never have put him out there at risk just to win a game."It really sounds like the Redskins have regrouped and are trying to back track in order to save face.It's funny how when someone says something they regret, their comments were always taken out of context.

because it's boring? But no, this is a great reason for both friends and governments not to immediately leap to, "Maybe you have a problem and need help," when somebody has their first realization that they have maybe strayed into 1 Party 2 Many territory.

Misconceptions: A "Gay and Catholic" Book Extra
So I initially planned to write this post listing the many weird personal judgments people project onto me when they hear that I'm gay and celibate for religious reasons. I'd then go through the different misconceptions and point out how they're false w/r/t my own life and/or that of other gay celibate people I know.But then I asked myself, "What are you hoping to accomplish with this post?"These projections or Internet diagnoses reflect the fact that for many people my witness lacks … [Read more...]
"Serious Christians Should Abstain From"… Thing I Totally Did

From George Eliot, "Middlemarch"
This was not the first time that Mr. Bulstrode had begun by admonishing Mr. Vincy, and had ended by seeing a very unsatisfactory reflection of himself in the coarse unflattering mirror which that manufacturer's mind presented to the subtler lights and shadows of his fellow-men; and perhaps his experience ought to have warned him how the scene would end. But a full-fed fountain will be generous with its waters even in the rain, when they are worse than useless; and a fine fount of admonition is … [Read more...]

Ideological Turing Test Results–Sin makes me stupid!

Guilt Quotes, Sayings about being guilty - Page 2
Guilt can quickly turn into regret and self- pity. The only way out is through acceptance and forgiveness.
Guilt is a destructive and ultimately pointless emotion.
– Lynn Crilly
No guilt is forgotten so long as the conscience still knows of it.
Don't feel guilty, you should have felt it before.
The best way to owe an apology is just to feel real guilt for what you have done, simple but best, real and true.
Guilty people answer questions with a question.
The guilty think all talk is of themselves.
I wish I could say I felt guilty for what I did.I don't.
– Veronica Roth
I say 'sorry' a lot. Mostly because I feel like everything is my fault.
The only things you give yourself when you cheat are fear and guilt.
Guilt is a useless feeling. It's never enough to make you change direction- – only enough to make you useless.
– Daniel Nayeri
The guilt you feel finally comes to an end when you fully express how it came into your consciousness.
– Luke Garner
If you need someone to blame, throw a rock in the air, you'll hit someone guilty.
My guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted.
– Franz Kafka

That short lived excitement among Met fans who thought the team had a shot to acquire Troy Tulowitzki – It's over. In short the Mets have concerns about doing a deal with the Rockies for the shortstop. The Rockies owe Tulowitzki over $100 million and want a number of top prospects in return. Throw in the fact that Tulowitzki has not appeared in more than 126 games since the...

Report: Mets, Rockies have talked Tulowitzki trade
By now it's well known that Troy Tulowitzki is not happy about the direction of the Colorado Rockies and is looking to move on from the only organization he has suited up for. Barring something drastic changing on that front, Tulo will likely be calling another city home next season. And fresh off signing Michael Cuddyer to a two-year contract, the New York Mets have reportedly...

2009 Audi A4
Picked up my new Audi last week and I LOVE it. I got the 2.0T with Prestige and Navigation in Ibis White. I'm getting a Ventureshield Clear Bra this weekend, then Formula One Pinnacle Tint, JL Audio subwoofer and amp, and 3 piece forged black & chrome Kinesis wheels. It will be sweet!
I changed out my grey front grille for the 3.2 glossy black grille (a couple hundred dollars more), and added chrome tips (makes the back so much better).
My favorite thing is the keyless start. I never have to take me key out of my purse! I also like the LED daytime headlights. I can't lie, I get happy when I catch a reflection of my car. I got a 2007 A4 loaner car while the put on my grille and I have to say the two models were like night and day. The 2007 felt like a tiny sedan... not much difference then the geo prizm I upgraded from. The roomie-ness and features of the 2009 make it feel like luxury! I'm so glad I got the Prestige!
minow Posts: 1Hi kikihow:
I'm thinking of the same color (Ibis White) with the same prestige package and nav. What color interior did you get (Beige/Black). When I did the buid your own Audi at the website it came out to $42900. Were you able to negotiate a better price or is that a relative accurate price? Also how long did your order take for you to get in from the day you ordered to pickup?
Congrats on your car. I plan on shopping in November as currently I have other things to take care of so I'm just reading about the A4 on the net such as here.
Thanks for any input.
Hey Minow,
I paid $500 over invoice. It came to about $41,200 with destination charge, ad fee, document charge and port prep. Taxes and registration fees were about $3600, but where I live sales tax is 8.75%. I was actually offered the car at invoice at another dealership, but would have had to wait longer for the car. Another guy paid $500 below invoice at the same dealership.
It took about 2 months to get my car. It would have been longer but my dealer was able to have the car re-routed from another dealership. I did have to put $1000 down to order the car, although the dealership I didn't go to I talked down to $500. got black interior, I think the beige looks granny-like.
Honestly the best thing about the Nav is that all the controls are moved to the center console. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't search by business name like my Garmin (or maybe I can and I haven't figured it out).
I also recommend to everyone to get the extended warranty. The guy initially offered the Platinum (bumper to bumper) for 6 years, 100,000 miles, $100 deductible for ~$5000. I got him to change it to $3655, 7 years, 100,000 miles, $0 deductible. I was able to do this cause my credit union (Pentagon Federal Credit Union, 4.75%, 72 months) offered the same package for $2965. The reason I went with Audi was because it covered more (stereo, gps, non-covered parts causing covered parts to go out, etc). If you get the warranty, go with the best, NOT the gold or silver.
I've heard stories of people having problems after 30k miles and so I wanted to alleviate that worry! I also looked into a comparable warranty after the manufacturer's warranty expired (I.e. 7 year warranty in 2008 vs. 3 year warranty in 2012) and it is MUCH cheaper to buy it now (about half the price). The take into account that you have the 4 year dealer warranty.
monstergerm Posts: 23Can owners please comment on how they like the navigation system. I could not find any manual online. How does it compare to other cars?
Can you search street names by voice?
Can you search businesses by name?
Can you search businesses by phone number (voice)?
Once it finds a business does it show the phone number and allows you to automatically dial this number through bluetooth connected phone?
I got same problem! My wife's motorola though uploads the phonebook just fine. Therefore i suspect it is something to do with my iphone being jailbroken. How about you? Is it jailbroken or not?
Also, i wonder if the ipod cable is supposed to come with the price of the car or is it sold as separate accessory? I heard that at least one dealer (not my though) gives them away with the car. Not sure how true that information is.
My dealer said they sell them for 50 bucks a piece, but did not have them in stock...
well, that settles it... i'm definitely getting the a4 then...
i'm going to be getting the car in may, how much of a deal do you think i can get?
i've been considering the following cars also...
- lexus es, rx
- acura tl, tsx
- mazda 6
- vw passat
- honda pilot
i've got a couple of kids, so i really need the space, but am trying not to get an suv (even tho i'm considering the new pilot)
btw, do you recommend the extra cost of the prestige package over premium plus?
I didn't jailbreak my iPhone and it's actually the 1st generation iPhone. The iPod/iPhone cable comes with the car and you dont have to pay extra. They were just out of cables when I picked up my car.
I just got a note from the dealer.....they actually have two types of cables in and he wasn't sure which one will work with my iPhone but was willing to try both if I drive over to him.
I HIGHLY doubt there will be any big promotion on the new '09 A4. The guys at my dealership told me the A4 and A5 sales aren't hurting. They might have some special lease program or something. However, I do think you can negotiate invoice price for the car. If you wanted a '08 or earlier you could probably get a sweet deal, but they aren't nearly as nice as the '09.
The '09 A4 is much roomier then previous years (I know this from the loaner cars I've driven). I do recommend the prestige package. If you have your hands full of kids it'll be useful to not have to dig around for keys to open the door (just walk up and open it with the key in your pocket). The audio systems with the Prestige is also WAY better (Bang & Olfsen). I think these two features alone make it worth it. There's also other features... but I forget what they are. Additionally, there are some options that are only available with the Prestige (i.e. sports package).
The only other car you listed that I liked was the Acura TL, but not the new one, the older ones, I hate the grille on the new one. The tsx just didn't have enough torque for me (the 2.0T A4 has 258 lbs of torque, it really picks up).
I think you can get the car for $500 over invoice, if not invoice exactly.
gocolts1 Posts: 1Just to add to the pile, I got the car at $500 over invoice for an avant premium plus... One dealer claimed his "actual cost" was significantly more than invoice, and settled at $1000 less than msrp. Another accepted $500 over invoice, and in this case invoice was IDENTICAL to edmunds, which was the first I've seen someone report that. Usually people get told that the true invoice is more than edmunds.
Someday I will get used to paying this much for a 4 cylinder!
cdepaola Posts: 11I purchased the Premium Plus package and its what I would suggest unless you have the considerable amount of extra cash the Prestige is going to cost you. I've listened to both sound systems and the one included in the Premium Plus is excellent.
As for deals, I also negotiated to invoice price. I've also heard that the lease on this car is going to get more expensive starting in November. The current money factors and residual were set prior to the last several months and thus haven't been adjusted.
dtmcgarry Posts: 5Hello,
I've been car shopping for a while and have narrowed it down to 2 cars-- well, almost 2: various flavors of '09 Subaru Outback, and the '09 A4 Avant. These are very different cars, but among AWD wagons, I liked them the best.
My question is, does the 09 Avant really only have 17.3 cu ft of space with the seats up, or is that some sort of mistake? When I test-drove each car, I looked in the back, and the Audi looked almost as big as the Subaru to me-- I guess the raking of the C/D pillars on the Avant is so extreme that I didn't notice how relatively short in height the back space was, even though it was plenty long/wide-looking? The Outback, by comparison, offers 33.5 cu ft, and looks it too-- that could be a huge difference.
Audi's own site, like Edmunds.com, reports 17.3. The only other figure I found was on the EPA site (http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/Detailsresult.do?vehicle_ID=23424), which gives the Avant 27.6 cu ft-- a more visually believable number. But now I don't trust my eyes.
Is Audi calculating this figure differently than Subaru? Does anyone here have any insight into whether the behind-the-seats space in the Avant is really that small (and smaller than the '08!)?
thank you

The Wives
Earlier, I introduced the Ball brothers, their parents, and their sisters. This month, we'll meet the wives.
William was the first brother to marry. His bride, Emma Wood, was born in Massachusetts, graduated from Concord Ladies Seminary, and then moved to Buffalo, New York, where she met William. In Muncie, she was active with the county humane society and the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her obituary noted that "She was one of those kindly, generous people who derived their chief satisfaction in helping others…."

The next time you drive by Westside Park in Muncie, look to the north as you pass Hutchison Avenue. One hundred years ago, you wouldn't have seen houses, trees or a nursing home. Instead, you would have seen Port Glass Works, a large operating glass factory, where hundreds of workers made fruit jars by hand...

The Ball Brothers Go into Business
As the five Ball brothers – Lucius L., William C., Edmund B., Frank C., and George A. – grew to adulthood in Canandaigua, New York, their uncle George Harvey Ball watched for business opportunities in nearby Buffalo. Uncle George, brother of Lucius Styles Ball, was a pastor of a Baptist church in Buffalo. In 1878, the first venture that he recommended was making wooden containers to pack fish in. Frank and Edmund were the principles in this endeavor. This venture ended when their entire product was destroyed in a fire. The brothers returned to Canandaigua...
Mason Jars are Fruit Jars, but not all Fruit Jars are Mason Jars
Several years ago, Minnetrista's former curator of business and industrial history, Dick Cole, asked me if I knew what made a Mason jar a Mason jar. He was thoroughly surprised when I was able to tell him, because he knew that my main interest in our large collection of jars is the stories that they can tell. I am not an expert on closures and markings, although I've certainly learned a lot in my time at Minnetrista. I also know that I can call on Dick to answer my questions, because he loves to share his knowledge of fruit jars. Anyway, read on and you'll know why Mason jars are fruit jars, but not all fruit jars are Mason jars...

Three Steps To Get Prepared for the Canning Season
Canning season is fast approaching! Have you looked in your canned good cabinet, your cellar, or on your shelves to find those few remaining jars from last year? Perhaps you've noticed a dwindling number of total jars. If you are anything like me, and I suspect many of you are, you may have some pickles, tomatoes, jellies, and applesauce left. You may also notice that your shelf of empty jars has fewer occupants than in the past. You might be wondering if it's time to get a new canning rack or other basic supplies. It is time to think about what foods you want to can this year and a good time check all of your supplies to make sure you are ready for the canning season...

The Discovery of Natural Gas Changes the Face of East Central Indiana
Before the discovery of the Trenton Gas Field in the late 19th century, East Central Indiana was almost exclusively an agricultural area. The Gas Boom became a defining moment in the development of the region. Natural gas had an enormous impact on the history, culture, and life of the region and produced a period of economic growth, marked by a dramatic surge in the number of energy-dependent industries that took advantage of the relatively cheap source of fuel to build new factories in the area. Principal among these industries was the manufacturing of glass...

How the hell had I never seen this movie before? It is absolutely perfect.

I bet it was great in '75 back when 2000 seemed so far off. Seeing it in 2014, it had to be even better than it was back in the day.

So ...
- Roger Corman is the best.

- Harold the announcer made me laugh with every utterance. He had me at "Teenagers now rack up 40 points, toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points and the big score, anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points!"

- Forget Logan's Run. This is the 70's dystopian movie to end up all 70's dystopian movies. So Warriors like.

- Mr. President was so prescient about where our reality show culture was heading. "Once again people, I give you what you want!"

- I was reminded often of Spy Hunter. Oil slicks!

- This has to be Stallone's greatest hour, right? He played a character named Machine Gun Joe Viterbo. My favorite line of his: "I've got two words for you. Bull. Shit."

- The clip of Toonces the Driving Cat on Saturday Night Live driving over the cliff into an exploding fireball is from this movie.

- There was a lot of T and A in this movie. The 70's ....

- The Toxic Avenger ripped off parts of this as far as getting points for running over people. I love Toxic Avenger even more now. So many people got run over in this movie. Or exploded real good. Cars blow up at the drop of a hat.

- The 1977 era punks were clearly influenced fashion wise by the Nazi fashionistas in this movie.

- I was also reminded of The Running Man and Idiocracy while watching this. Hell, every movie made after 1975 was influenced by this film!

- When the airplane was after Frankenstein (David Carradine), it was like a 70s B movie version of North by Northwest. Yes! I also loved Frankenstein's Ming the Merciless headgear.

- Best movie ever?

I was disappointed the first time I saw this sometime in the late 90s. I remained disappointed with it 15 years later.

The movie just isn't that good. It is dated in a boring, early 90s kind of way. Some of the Gilliam kookiness doesn't really work well for me either.

Amanda Plummer is so odd that it took me out of the whole thing. Robin Williams was good as usual. And wow, is that guy hairy. Jeff Bridge's hair is funny.

I liked seeing Dumbo from 199. It sure looked a lot different. Then again, who knows what it actually looked like when it wasn't the backdrop of a Terry Gilliam flick?

Maybe I'll like this more when I watch it again in 2029.

It had been awhile since I'd seen an Aki Kaurismäki film. Way way too long. I still think about How I Hired A Contract Killer on a regular basis if no other reason, that movie introduced me to Little Willie John. The last film I'd seen of his, The Man Without a Past, was also very good.

I don't know what it is about his films that grab me so much. They are all so quietly odd. I can't quite put my finger on the technical aspects of it but there's something about his films that are unmistakably his. I feel stupid even trying to place what it is other than the music that makes a Kaurismäki film feel so much like a Kaurismäki film. The measured, sometimes deadpan speaking style of the actors? The Buster Keaton stone faces of all of the characters? The lowkey charm of all of his movies?

Oh yeah, the film has a cute dog, a lovable old shoe shiner, an African immigrant boy, and an investigator with a great 'stache and a possible heart of gold.

As an added bonus, Jean Pierre Leaud has a small role in the movie. Yee ha!

I need to watch some of his late 80s/early 90s films like Leningrad Cowboys Go America (which I think I've seen) but others I have not (Ariel, The Match Factory Girl ) but have heard good things.

Kaurismäki!

This was my music find from this film. Little Bob!

Which led me to this. Holy crap! It cuts off in the middle but I can't get enough.

I wanted to like this more than I did. I thought it was pretty good but thought it would be better. It is the kind of movie that had might have been better served to be a New Yorker piece.

I'm not sure why I didn't love it. I just couldn't really get into the character that much - perhaps I've had my fill of Michael B. Jordan? He's charming and all but he plays every role the same way to me. Maybe I just didn't buy him in the role. Maybe I found some of the stuff with his mom and daughter a bit forced - but apparently a lot of that stuff was indeed based on what really happened.

I don't know.

But then I listened to an interview of the director Ryan Coogler with Elvis Mitchell and was kind of convinced that maybe I was wrong. I loved listening to him explain his thinking and what he was trying to achieve with the film. If nothing else, this is a good first film by a promising director. I definitely am curious to see what he does next.

I hadn't seen this film in at least fifteen years but the movie holds up well.

Some thoughts:

- I really felt like I stumbled onto something cool and edgy by liking this movie back in the day. I proudly had the poster on my dorm room wall in college. I still remember how crowded it was the night it played at Grafton Stovall at JMU and how perplexed most people were by it.

- I still can't believe that a movie this strange became kind of a cultural touchstone at the time. People might not know anything about this movie but "That Barton Fink feeling" is kind of a known thing, right? Or am I living in a weird The Coen Brothers are soooo fabulous bubble?

- The incredible moments are plentiful. I can't believe how much of it I remembered. Turturro and Goodman are incredible of course. But the entire cast nails it. In particular, Michael Lerner as the Hollywood exec desperate for a Wallace Beery hit, his right hand man/whipping boy played by Jon Polito, Steve Buscemi as Chet!, the FBI investigators questioning Fink, and Tony Shalhoub as the fast talking producer all delivered the perfect script perfectly.

- I can't get enough of Coen Bros films that are set during the era of screwball comedies. I need to revisit The Hudsucker Proxy.

- I love what a misguided pompous ass the Barton Fink character is. Perfect.

- Were the Coens worried about selling out so they made a movie where they couldn't possibly sell that many tickets? Were they out simply to make fun of William Faulkner? What's the deal with Goodman's character? The turn for surreal at the end still confounds me. Other than the cool hotel hallway on fire scene, I'm not sure Goodman as the devil was necessary - couldn't he have just been a serial killer? Or was this all simply Fink going mad? Who knows? Who cares? I love this movie.

The movie that launched an empire!

Apatow had already had movie success with producing Anchorman but this was his directorial debut and the film that really got the whole thing going.

I still remember being so excited to see Seth Rogen in a movie! I also remember how excited I was to see it while on the 2005 baseball trip in L.A.

The movie holds up well. It's got all the elements of a good Apatow production - before the self indulgence fully took over everything the man did.

- Carell is a comedic genius. The pride, the pathos, the body hair being ripped out.

- Jane Lynch was perfect - every facial expression, every come on. Brilliant.

- Paul Rudd really is adorably cute, isn't he?

- Catherine Keener reminded me of why I like her. The last few things I've seen her in, she has played such self-involved, unlikeable characters.

- Romany Malco is an underrated part of this film. The dialogue and interplay amongst Carell's work friends is all so entertaining and winsome.

- Elizabeth Banks was funny as hell as well.

Bottom line - I want the old Judd Apatow back!

I don't know what was worse - the terrible songs, the ridiculous script, or the fact that the giant was nothing more than a tall dude.

Fresh off the excitement of seeing Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, the boys and I decided to try this movie. What a mistake.

I really should have read more about it before watching it - this film is apparently considered one of the worst (if not the worst) Abbott and Costello film. I don't know who this movie was made for other than undiscerning three-year-olds but it was definitely not made for Team Sam, Otis, and Dan.

The boys liked the sword fight scene though.

Let the Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolfman obsession begin! The boys loved this movie. And what's not to love? Abbott and Costello are hilarious. The monsters are awesome!

The boys were most captivated by Frankenstein's monster though. Sam loved Costello's impersonation of Dracula and the monster. His impersonation of Costello's impersonation is a sight to behold. They both are quick to tell anyone who will listen that the Wolfman didn't want to be a bad guy - that it wasn't his fault that he was a Wolfman.

A few days after watching this movie, we listened to a Halloween show on WFMU. Every time Frankenstein or Dracula was mentioned, they excitedly cried out "They said Frankenstein! They said Dracula!" They already kind of knew about Frankenstein's monster and Dracula but this movie cemented their newfound love of old school monsters.

I don't think I'd seen this movie before. In fact, I don't think I've seen many Abbott and Costello things at all other than a few classic clips here and there. Clearly, I'll be seeing more in the near future. I'm cool with that.

For awhile, I was a bit worried that this was just going to be a rehash of the first movie. I'm glad that it wasn't. Yes, there was more Hunger Games hot killing action. But this time, there was more intrigue. Plus there were fewer cute little kids that we couldn't bear to see get killed. It was kind of like an All Star version of Survivor. Bigger and better than the regular!

The direction was much better in this film compared to the first. Everything was a bit less over-the-top. If the first movie was a B-, this one was a solid B. Can the next one creep into B+ territory?

The first thirty minutes of this movie blew me away. How could Rodriguez possibly top Machete? It seemed like maybe he could.

Mel Gibson (who looks a lot like George Brett these days), Charlie Sheen as the President (billed as Carlos Estevez) and Sofia Vergara (machine guns in her bosoms) all were put in place. There was a crazy helicopter scene. And non-stop mayhem.

But then I began to get a little weary. I liked it all, no doubt. But the movie dragged a little. 105 minutes easily could have been 85 minutes and would have made this a better film.

Then again, there would have been a lot fewer deaths with twenty fewer minutes. That wouldn't have been good. How about that scene with the helicopter decapitating all those bad guys. THAT was awesome.

I kind of can't wait for Machete Kills in Outer Space.

I definitely enjoyed this movie. So much so that I'm curious to read the book so I can compare it to the movie.

But I'm not quite sure how much I really liked this movie. Some of it just seemed off. Yes, I know that it is supposed to seem off especially in the first half. But things just seemed a bit stilted at times. I'm not sure if it was the story itself, the script, the direction, or Ben Affleck. He's charming, but his range isn't so great. I'd love to have seen this film with a better actor in his role. And neither Jim or I actually noticed Ben's penis.

Still, I was quite entertained. I was in for the ride. And it was a pretty fun ride while it lasted. I'll never look at Neil Patrick Harris the same. This and his role as himself in the Harold and Kumar movies are proof of the man's genius.

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood but I was a bit bored by this film.

It has all the ingredients of a movie I should have liked. It looks gorgeous. It has Holocaust themes. It is foreign!

But I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'm not into movies with a nun as the main character?

I really liked the other Pawel Pawlikowski films I'd seen (My Summer of Love, Last Resort) so I'm fully ready to admit that I'm the jerk here. I mean, look at those reviews on the poster!

Wow!

I liked The Raid but this one is even better. This one expands the scope of the first film. Rather than try to duplicate the craziness of the first movie that pretty much takes place in one high rise building, this film is all over the place.

There are fight scenes within moving cars, subway trains, prison yards, the street. Wherever, whenever. My jaw dropped while watching some of the action sequences.

But there's more to this movie than just the fight scenes. There were echoes of Kill Bill (a pastiche of a pastiche?), the Johnnie To Election saga, and the Elite Squad movies. The first Raid installment reminded me of the Johnnie To movie Drug War and Elite Squad but this one really channels the gangster politics of Election and Triad Election. I can't get enough of that stuff.

The violence in this has its over-the-top crazy fun like the first. But this film might be even more brutal. Things get more realistic and more personal. This movie is a must see.

I loved the old footage. I love the political aspect. I loved the parts about some of the backup singers trying to go solo. The Darlene Love stuff is great even though I'm not sure she really was a backup singer all that long. I loved the individual stories of the people like Merry Clayton who I had never heard of.

But the second half wasn't so great. There was way way way way too much of Lisa Fischer. It almost felt like the film turned from a doc about backup singers to one about just her. And she really isn't that interesting.

I'm done with comic book movies. Or maybe I can simply say I'm done with comic book movies starring Chris Evans. I hate looking at him. As Sujan pointed out, he doesn't even look real.

Yes, ok. Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson were good. And yes, there were a few fun scenes. But enough is enough. I just don't have the interest in watching an entire movie like this. It all blends together in one big stew of boringness.

I think maybe I like my comic book movies to be more stylized and/or dark.

I had never heard of this movie but it was an extra on the Forbidden Planet Blu-ray. So the boys and I thought, why not?

Basically, the movie was made because the studio had spent so much money on making Robby the Robot so they decided to make another movie with him in it. One problem - they apparently didn't put any resources into actually writing a script.

The movie is about a boy named Timmy and his scientist dad. The boy is left alone with the dad's supercomputer and then all hell breaks loose. There's a plot to take over the world by the computer. And somehow Robby the Robot is involved. And oh yeah, the boys turns invisible.

Some thoughts:
Sam: "Why isn't the movie called The Invisible Timmy?"

Me: "What would you do if you were invisible?"
Otis: "We'd take your phone and play Star Wars Angry Birds."

Timmy's father is kind of nonplussed that his son has turned invisible until sex with Timmy's mom is ruined by a spying Timmy. What? The punishment? Timmy is caught and spanked while invisible. Then sent to his room. All while invisible.

The next day, this exchange occurs.
Timmy's dad calls home: "Have you seen Timmy today?"
Timmy's mom (completely nonchalant): Well you know I can't see him. I'll check his room."
Timmy was nowhere to be seen (!!!) because he was doing bad stuff with the supercomputer.

 Near the end, Timmy ends up in spaceship and is told to wait for a year by his dad - someone will get him eventually.

The movie ends with Robby not letting the dad spank his son. Then they they all ate apples.

Clearly this is a must see movie.

Apparently this was a Sundance favorite. It wasn't a 14th St. favorite.

Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally were good but I gave up after 17 minutes. It just was trying too darn hard to be quirky. It seems like maybe it would have gotten better once the real story got going of the teenagers going to live in the woods but I just didn't have it in me.

The boys and I watched this as part of our Roald Dahl fest of book reading. We were all a little disappointed. The book is worlds better.

The animation is pretty good but it doesn't really hold up. The non-animated sequences are a bit annoying. The actor who plays James is a bit too precocious for my tastes. And as Sam pointed out, how come we never had any mention of the centipede's 42 boots?

Not to mention this is a bit of a letdown considering Henry Selick's previous film was The Nightmare Before Christmas and his next film (albeit 13 years later) was Coraline.

Somehow I had never seen this movie before I was 41-years-old. My parents must have decided they couldn't bear to take me to see it when it was originally in the theaters. I might never forget them. This movie is insane.

Let me count the ways --
- First of all, the casting. Sandy Duncan! Both colonels from Mash! Roddy McDowall! Ken Berry from Mama's Family! Boss Hogg!

- There's a cat that appears from outer space! Think about that for a second.

- There's a cat that appears from outer space! And he has a special magical collar that allows him to do lots of cool stuff including talking to humans. Yes!

- There's a cat that appears from outer space! And he has a special magical collar that allows him to do lots of illegal stuff like help humans win money by fixing horse races, basketball games, and pool games.

- The cat can freeze people. And he can make them levitate.

- And to top it all off, the cat can fly small airplanes. I guess that makes sense though. He did fly a spaceship to Earth. The cat has to pilot the small aircraft so Sandy Duncan can jump into from a doomed helicopter. Yep. That's right.

Recently, I mentioned this movie to Otis and I used the word silly to describe it. He corrected me with a stern "Dad, the movie was not silly!"

Okay, Otis. Judge for yourself.

I love movies about hit men, small time thugs, and heists. Add in Brad Pitt in a great performance, some artsy and unique ways to show a killing by gunfire, James Gandolfini as a depressed hit man, Ray Liotta as a good time card shark, and Richard Jenkins as a go-between between Pitt and the bureaucratic crime organization, and you've got an entertaining as hell movie.

Some other thoughts --
- Brad Pitt continues to impress me. I like him in pretty much everything I see him in these days. I'm really looking forward to Fury.

- Gandolfini is so funny and sad sack. One hilarious line after another.

- Jenkins is so funny and shrewd in the way he passes the buck.

- Liotta's character is like Henry Hill if he got clean and started a back room card game. Well liked but not the brightest bulb.

- I liked the country is falling apart tone with the 2008 election as the backdrop. It felt a little heavy handed at times but overall I thought it worked.

- Any movie that reminds me of a Jim Thompson novel is a movie I'm going to like. Pitt loves to kill them softly - none of that weepy stuff, you know. I should read the book, Cogan's Trade, that this movie is based on.

- I liked this so much that I think I need to re-watch Andrew Dominik's previous film, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I have a feeling I'll like that more upon second viewing. This film was a tight 90 minutes. I remember that one being a bit sprawling upon first viewing. But I'm ready for it now!

Fresh off a return (of sorts) to his indie roots with Prince Avalanche, David Gordon Green's follow up is a bit of a letdown.

Nicolas Cage was very good though. It was nice to see him in a movie again. I have kind of ignored everything he's made over the past 15 years. In fact, I think this is only the fourth film I've seen of his this millennium (Matchstick Men, Adaptation, The Bad Lieutenant). He is so restrained in this film -for the most part - just don't get the guy angry!

The film looked great and I really liked the work scenes - kind of reminded me of some of my favorite parts of both George Washington and Prince Avalanche. But it just got too violent and too cartoonish for what I was hoping for. Green is so great at finding the beauty in small moments between characters and the environment that they live in. This became a thriller and not a very good one - compared to the recent Blue Ruin, this film comes up even more lacking.

This kind of reminded me of Snow Angels - another movie that started off well and then went places I wasn't interested in. Green has three different kinds of films - the character / setting based ones (George Washington, All the Real Girls, Prince Avalanche), the "thrillers" (Undertow, Joe, Snow Angels), and the comedies (The Sitter, Pineapple Express, Your Highness). I still haven't seen the Sitter but I've seen everything else. This film is an adaptation of a book so Green can't be blamed for the plot developments. But he is the one who chose to make the darn film!

Maybe Green should take a break from the more plot driven films that kind of leave me cold. I like his meandering character films and some of his comedic stuff. You can't go wrong with Eastbound and Down.

Bottom line - I was hoping this would be better.

I don't know what to say about this movie that hasn't been said. It is a remarkable movie. It is fun to watch throughout and moves at a brisk pace for a movie that is almost three hours long. It is heartwarming, realistic, and funny. It is a landmark in movie making history. Who the hell makes a movie that takes 12 years to make? Linklater is at the top of his game.

Some thoughts --
- Ellar Coltrane is super cute as a little kid and a great actor. As he got older, he had a bit of a Peter Dinklage look going on which I wasn't expecting.

- Man, Ethan Hawke has aged over the past 12 years. In a good way but it is remarkable to watch.

- Linklater's daughter kicks ass over the Apatow daughters as far as director's kids being cast in their dad's movies. I want another cut of this film called Girlhood that focuses on her character. Or how about a sequel called Womanhood that charts the next 12 years of her life?

- I like the pop culture and technology focus. I often have the feeling, even when using brand new technology, about how dated it will feel in a few years. Linklater knew that what he was filming back in 2002 was going to feel like a relic in 2014 and filmed accordingly. I loved it.

- I didn't like the music that much at the time but when I read that Linklater asked young people what they were listening to each year during the filming as the basis for what he put into the movie, I was won over in retrospect.

- There are so many great scenes throughout the film and I love that Linklater didn't focus on milestones like the loss of virginity, etc. I loved the haircut scene, the last scene between Hawke and Coltrane, the first scene with the Britney Spears torture scene, the dad sells his car discussion. Hell, I can't even list them all. The whole movie works. I really appreciated that there were at least four or so years that feature Star Wars discussions - first as a literal discussion then as metaphor.

- I look forward to seeing this film again but more importantly, seeing it with my boys some day.

Netflix recommended this to me due to my interest in Forbidden Planet and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Thanks Netflix. Sort of.

This movie is not good. But it was still super fun to watch with the boys. It was a fascinating mess.

Some thoughts
-- I love all the 50s era science fiction and kind of want to raise Otis and Sam by only showing them movies and TV made in the 1950s. It would lead to a completely skewed take on reality - it would be like a gentle Dogtooth upbringing.

- There was some ridiculous yet perfect elements to this film. Cinemagic! There's a reason why that new special effect didn't take off. The best part was when one of the crew members (poor Sammy!) was eaten alive by one of the Martian creatures.

- The lead male actor was a dead ringer for Morton Downey. And he had perfect chest hair. His upper buttons were always unbuttoned - that is until the end when he went shirtless. Huzzah!

- My favorite lines were "I've had enough swashbuckling adventure for today" followed by "Yeah, I've had enough swash, it's been buckled."

- Basically, the bottom line is don't go to Mars. There's bad stuff on it for humans.

Some thoughts and questions:

- Luc Besson is out of his mind. He must be using 100% of his brain capacity or something.

- Was Besson serious about this script or was it a joke? That was the debate Steve, Jim, and I had after watching this movie.

- The whole brain power thing is beyond silly but if you just buy into it, then the movie kind of works. Sort of. Johansson's character does completely implausible things but I guess when you are working on such high brain capacity, you do stupid things. Why shoot the innocent cabdriver? Why care so much about a patient's survival chances in the operating room before killing her but then needlessly wreak havoc in the streets of Paris in a crazy car chase!

- I hadn't seen a Luc Besson directed movie since The Fifth Element. I remember thinking that movie was boring in its ludicrousness. At least this film was never boring. The action scenes were pretty captivating if nothing else.

- Steve said he had never seen a movie quite like this and was pretty sure that that was a good thing. But he wasn't 100% on that.

- Scarlett Johansson is amazing. I can't get enough of her these days. I might actually have to see that latest Captain America movie and we all know what I think of comic book movies.

- I hope that this movie doesn't distract Besson from his real calling in life - making sure that the next Taken movie is super awesome! Jim even referenced that the car chase scene in this film would have been better if Liam Neeson was in it barking directions. Exactly. I had forgotten that Besson writes those movies.

I liked this so much more than I was expecting. I had no interest in seeing it back in the day but is time to catch up on the Robin Williams filmography.

A few thoughts:
- Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest! I had no idea they were in this movie because I barely paid attention to it when it was out. In fact, I don't think I even knew who the hell Nathan Lane was. And I definitely didn't know Hank Azaria was in it. Hackman and Wiest were perfect. Azaria was so over-the-top.

- Lane annoyed me at first but definitely grew on me by the end.

- Williams was so restrained. I love the restrained performances of his. I wonder if this had been made before Mrs. Doubtfire if Williams would have played the drag queen character.

- I'm curious to see the original 1978 French version now.

SPOILER ALERT: BUT COME ON - IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE ALREADY, THEN YOU ARE AS LATE AS I AM.
- I must admit - I did not predict the Nathan Lane character dressing up as the mom part. I was taken by surprise and loved it.

- The movie is interesting. It obviously played well in the red states, right? They like their gay stereotypes which this film has fun playing with. How was this movie seen by the gay community in 1996?

- I read that this was the first screenplay that Elaine May wrote for her husband to direct. They followed this up with 1998's Primary Colors. Also, I read that apparently PT Anderson has said that he always has to watch this movie it if it's on. And why not? I'd watch it again.

IONIA, Mich. (AP) - A convicted multiple killer who broke out of a Michigan prison in February has been arraigned on escape, carjacking and kidnapping charges.
Michael Elliot appeared Wednesday afternoon in Ionia District Court. Judge Raymond Voet entered a not-guilty plea for him and scheduled a court conference May 5.
Voet also set a probable-cause hearing on the charges for May 7. Elliot is being held at the nearby Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility.
Elliot was captured Feb. 3 in LaPorte County, Ind., one day after escaping Ionia Correctional Facility in western Michigan. Authorities say the 40-year-old slipped under gates and made holes in fences before carjacking a woman in Ionia.
Elliot is serving life without parole for first-degree murder in the shooting of four people during the 1993 robbery of a drug dealer.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival's production of "Merchant of Venice", directed by Bill Rauch and starring Anthony Heald as Shylock is a magnificent indictment on the cost of prejudice. Set both in contemporary and Elizabethan times, it rings true to today's issues while still balancing the comedy and the tragic elements of this fine Shakespeare play.
