The Story
Matt LeBlanc stars as Matt LeBlanc in "Episodes", the hilarious new comedy series about remaking a comedy series. When husband and wife writing team Sean and Beverly set out to reproduce their British TV hit for an American network, all of their worst fears come true as Hollywood lives up to its reputation for absurdity. Not only does the network cast Matt LeBlanc in the starring role, but Matt takes the lead in deviously twisting their beloved series into a terrible cliche, while testing the couple's marriage with diversions and temptations.

Oft-injured Dustin McGowan to undergo shoulder surgery
Aug 7, 2012, 2:14 PM EDT
Blue Jays right-hander Dustin McGowan is going back under the knife, this time for arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
McGowan previously underwent shoulder surgeries in 2008 and 2010, and basically hasn't been healthy in four years, throwing a grand total of 21 innings since 2008. All of which is why it was so odd when the Blue Jays decided to sign McGowan to a three-year, $4.1 million contract extension in March.
He hasn't pitched since then in the minors or majors, and the Blue Jays won't know how long he'll be sidelined this time around until Dr. James Andrews takes a look inside his shoulder.
Toronto rookie Drew Hutchison is undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery later this week and the Blue Jays already lost Kyle Drabek to his second Tommy John surgery earlier this season.

You forgot Louis Perez, our Bull Pen long relief guy. Good thing about all that free healthcare, eh? -sigh-
- jaysfan64 - Aug 7, 2012 at 2:24 PM
Hope this isn't the end for McG but it might be – he's said before he won't do another shoulder surgery and the accompanying rehab (who'd blame him?)…just the fact he made it back last season and still had the arsenal (albeit rusty) was phenomenal…I wish him all the best…
- jaysfan64 - Aug 7, 2012 at 2:28 PM
And the contract was not odd – AA thought he should be rewarded for how far he came, it represented a relatively low risk-high reward for the club, and they did not want a repeat of the Chris Carpenter screwup…
- proudlycanadian - Aug 7, 2012 at 2:35 PM
I do not understand why Aaron does not understand why the Jays resigned McGowan to a contract. The Jays watched him pitch in September. He looked like his old self. The velocity was there. Control was a bit rusty, but that was to be expected. The risk reward parameters were good. McGowan has the upside potential to be a top of the rotation starter. The Jays also remember what happened when they removed the often injured Chris Carpenter from their 40 man rotation and did not want a repeat situation. St Louis knew that Carpenter would not be able to pitch for an entire year, yet signed him anyways.
It was also a message about loyalty to their players. McGowan had worked hard to recover from surgery and the team stood by him. They will also stand by Drabek, Perez and Hutchinson as they attempt to recover from their injuries.
- Detroit Michael - Aug 7, 2012 at 3:09 PM
I also thought it was a decent gamble at the time. If he was healthy, McGowan potentially would have made much, much more in arbitration.
- paint771 - Aug 7, 2012 at 3:32 PM
That last paragraph is I think a key point – and one AA underscored himself. $1.3 a year for three years for a pitcher with the capacity to come back and be a rotation starter is not very much, but even if he never came back, there was still something to be gained by what is, on an organizational level, by no means a bank-busting signing – it sends a message to players throughout that the organization has their back and if you're loyal, if you work hard, if you're a team player, you won't necessarily be treated like a piece of meat and may get a contract not based on an actuarial table. That has value, beyond whatever McGowan does or doesn't do, and ultimately does pay dividends.
That same thinking, incidentally, was what led AA to extend Bautista when that looked like by no means a sure thing. It was taking a chance, but on a guy worth taking a chance on. It's also allowed AA to capture talent (Rasmus, Escobar) that other organizations had given up on, because Toronto had built a different kind of environment. I think we may see some upside to that in the future, both within the system but even among draft picks and free agents.

- jaysfan64 - Aug 7, 2012 at 3:06 PM
Proudly: These kids who write these blogs are mostly stats and numbers oriented…and according to strictly numbers, McG should have probably been reduced by 20% or even non-tendered in the off-season…but stats alone do not tell the complete story…you hit it bang on when you stated AA wanted to send a message – to both players with the Jays and outside the organization – that if you put in the work you will be rewarded..thankfully Beeston and AA do not operate by numbers alone…

29 year old woman | Indianapolis, IN, USA | Seeking men 28-35 within 50 miles
Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time--I'm having a ball!
I love to laugh, read, listen to music, attempt to cook, watch nerdy TV and spend an occasional night on the town. I'm quite pleased with life and I'm looking for a man interested in sharing and enjoying life along with me. I've been described as a caring person who would do anything for someone, a dork, fun to hang around with and a little bit ADD. I like watching sports, especially college basketball. Sometimes, I think it's a good idea to try and play a sport of some kind. 2 minutes in I remember that I don't play sports. Don't get me wrong, I like being active and outside, I just don't have the knack for organized team activities. My religion and relationship with God are important to me, but I don't push my beliefs on others. I enjoy learning about how other people worship and practice their own religions. I have a great job working for an organization that serves veterans. I work on a program that educates high school girls about the government process, being good citizens, an appreciation for Americanism and the sacrifices that our troops make for our freedom. I love it and I get to act like a dork for a week around 98 girls from across the country. I just got back from DC where I got to meet POTUS! I'm a mom to a perky daughter. I think she's pretty cool. I take pride in my appearance but I'm not high maintenance. I like trying to help someone who's had a bad day, whether it be buying them an adult beverage, going for a walk and venting, giving a back massage or using self deprecating humor to make them laugh. I am a spacey person so the last part is easy for me. I don't do well with blindly following authority. If you demand that I don't do something, my initial reaction is to do it and rub it in your face. That being said, once I've developed a good rapport with someone I will bend over backwards to please that person. Curious? Shoot me a message!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual

Very Liberal
I like Butler Basketball, strawberries, sunglasses, The Civil Wars, tomatoes, a clean house, the smell of rain, snowflakes, live music in small settings, being with people, bell peppers, True Blood, quiet time to myself, swimming pools, tall trees.
reading, playing with my daughter, being around people, making things I find on Pinterest, trying new things--I can have fun doing almost anything as long as I'm with positive people!

text: Johnny Depp and The Rum Diary seem to be the perfect mix. But before we say anything else, we just have to ask you to look for a little Jack Sparrow in him while watching the trailer! It's there, right? Must be all the rum. The film's based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, FYI. It follows Johnny's character, a journalist called Paul Kemp, who is so done with America and the Eisenhower administration that he heads to Puerto Rico to write for The San Juan Star. And what proceeds is lurching through a lot of drinking thrown in with some self-destructive comrades, and some alcoholic, violent lust for Amber Heard's character, Chenault.

Yankees decide no discipline for Jorge Posada
May 15, 2011, 10:17 PM EDT
It's case closed for the Jorge Posada drama, as the Yankees said Sunday that there would be no discipline for the five-time All-Star after he asked out of Saturday's lineup for the game against the Red Sox.
Posada had face-to-face conversations with both GM Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi on Sunday, apologizing to each.
"All the frustration came out," Posada said. "It was just one of those days you wish you could take back."
Posada didn't start Sunday because of his struggles against lefties and Jon Lester in particular. He was available off the bench, though. He figures to be held out of the lineup again Monday versus the Rays' David Price, a pitcher who has held him to one hit in 18 career at-bats.
- yankeesfanlen - May 15, 2011 at 10:32 PM
Jorge, was this little tantrum necessary?
- pjmarn6 - May 16, 2011 at 7:35 AM
suck it up and show some class, you took over 120,000,000 of their money. You know baseball careers have to end. You are sitting on over $80,000,000, have two kids, a beautiful wife, a mansion in Puerto Rico and you can do anything you want with your life.
You look like a little boy in a man's body ready to cry. You don't want a future in baseball, and I doubt anyone will give you one now, finish out the season, do as you are told as a nice boy and go home with your 10 million dollars.
- Old Gator - May 15, 2011 at 11:49 PM
I'm really disappointed in the lack of discipline. I know any number of grandmothers in variously advanced stages of dementia who would have given anything to bite Jorge's tushy.

- Jonny 5 - May 16, 2011 at 8:34 AM
It's such an insult to be batting ninth for the NEW YORK YANKEES!!! Waaaaa! I guess everyone would be more understanding if this were in the NL…. But really the fact that the Yankees pencil you in anywhere in the lineup even though you're batting as well as a pitcher is expected to bat, tells you how out of touch and how much of a baby you are. Suck it up and bat ninth Sally. I mean Jorge.
- tejano2k - May 16, 2011 at 10:36 AM
Hey….Where's all the love? Jorge's been a mainstay for the Yankees and has certainly delivered on a lot of occasions. He's been 1 of my favorites for years. Frustration (and pride) sometimes makes us do or say crazy things. He's not used to being in this position, has had a stellar career, has some bumps and bruises and yeah, he may be seeing the end. Many athletes have trouble facing the day "when the cheering ends". Hopefully, he can get out of the slump, man-up and have a great last hurrah. Go Yankees!!!!

Jorge Posada has been my least favorite MLB player for years. This year, though, Youkilis was closing in on the title. But this little incident has ensured that Jorge will remain at the top of the "hate list." frankly, I am sorta happy.

What does it mean when a guy says he wants to kick it with you?
I ran into this guy from my past a couple of days ago I knew him in high school . We always had a crush on each other and we spoke on the phone a... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I think kick it means hang out. I don't speak ebonics though, just l33tspeak.
Agreed!! I always tell guy and girl friends "Lets kick it sometime!" and the last guy was probably because your chemistry was right this guy maybe can't read you either and will just hang out unless you send him hints you want it lol and if you don't want it, don't hint or don't bring up anything to lead to that lol :)
Kitty pidgin is also in my range.
What Guys Said 3
I live in San Francisco, and over here that phrase is generally understood as meaning you want to hang out. I frequently hear guys saying to their guy friends "we should kick it this weekend."
I suppose the answer to this question depends on where you live, because the phrase obviously means something totally different on the other side of the country ;p

So the baby has been getting more and more active (or at least I'm feeling it alot more) over the past couple of weeks. Last night, I went to stand up, and I could have sworn she punched me right in the cervix! This may be my second child, but it is still somehow the only time when I could pinpoint directly where my cervix is located. There was a punch (though I don't know if it was her fist or some other part of her body) and then a sharp pain that went right through me.
Is this normal? Again, it may seem odd to ask, but DS was born at 33 weeks and 6 days. I am now 35.5 weeks with this one. Everything with this pregnancy, including length, has been different than with my first... other than the fact that there's a baby involved, of course.
I joke with my husband that she's not even born yet and already on my last nerve (literally)! lol
Married to DH since February 2005, mother of , DS (8/18/2008) and DD in (4/2/2011)! Expecting February 2013!
I think it's pretty normal. Sometimes this one will alternate between my bladder and my cervix. Owwwwwwww.
I've told everyone it feels like he's got a dental tool and is scraping against my cervix, rectum, and urethra. And then sometimes I get a bonus....as he's doing his dental tool move, he's pushing against the top too..usually my ribs, full stomach..whatever is in his way. Lol!
oh boy do I literally feel your pain! Today I got such a punch to the cervix that I had searing pain down there! ouchies! Maybe cleaning out the entire car was a bad idea hello nesting!
Loving wife to DH mama to DS1 3/13/09 , DS2 4/20/11 and DS3 1/12/13 Professional and attempting to while
LOL Yeah. I'm discovering that it's getting harder and harder for me to move around. Moving too much causes me to have more of those pains!
I also just found out this morning that I'm 2cm dilated. I wasn't too surprised given how many of those pains and contractions I've been having over the past few days!

Jason Richardson scored six of his 21 points late in the fourth quarter, Nick Young had 23 off the bench and the Philadelphia 76ers rallied to beat the Toronto Raptors 106-98 on Tuesday night. Jrue Holiday had 19 points and 12 assists and Thad Young scored 18 to help the Sixers win their third straight game. DeMar DeRozan had 24 and Andrea Bargnani scored 22 for the Raptors, who are off to a 3-8 start. Jose Calderon, who had a season-high 18 assists in Toronto's win over Orlando on Sunday night, got 12 more to go with 13 points. Down 87-80 early in the fourth, the Sixers came back to win their first game in which they trailed after three quarters. Nick Young's 3-pointer got Philadelphia to 92-89 with 5:11 left. After Richardson and Dorell Wright missed 3s that would've tied it, Young nailed another 3 to make it 92-all. The teams traded baskets before Richardson scored on a driving layup, got fouled and made the free throw for a 99-96 lead with 1:54 remaining. Richardson extende...

Gear Review
Testament to Backcountry return policy
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Vest seemed flat, poorly insulated. Tried it on and zipped it up. Zipper snagged the fabric, cutting the shell on first zip!!! Sent back. Refund was not a problem. Will not buy anymore Stoic products, no matter how on sale. That is not true. I am cheap. 90% off i would try it again.
I posted a review with a fix on this, but it seems backcountry.com deleted it. Just sew 2-4 lines parallel to the zipper all the way down. Check out the picture of the blue vest labeled "Mostly good. Bad zipper but easy to fix." If it wasn't so cheap at the time of purchase, I would have returned it and not bothered with fixing the zipper.
nevermind. My review was just buried in the past.

Blackwell House damaged by fire
Historic Bartlett building probably hit by lightning
A 139-year-old Bartlett landmark with a haunting lore and a historic designation was damaged by an upstairs fire Tuesday.
"The best we can tell it was a lightning strike," said Ben Witt, owner of the Blackwell House at Sycamore View and Blackwell in the Bartlett Historic District.
Fire Chief Terry Wiggins confirmed Tuesday night that fire investigators also suspect lightning as the cause.
The fire, which poured from the roof and a top floor gable on the north side, was reported by several witnesses about 3:40 p.m., according to Lt. Rory Mack, spokesman for Bartlett Police. Thunderstorms rolled through the area earlier in the afternoon.
Witt's teenage son and his two dogs were at home at the time but escaped without injury.
A historic marker in the yard dates the house to circa 1869, and over the years there have been stories that the white clapboard structure with the circular front porch is haunted.
"Not that I'm aware of," Ben Witt said when asked about the tales.
The story, according to realhaunts.com, is that one family who lived there continually turned a lamp off, even unplugging it, but each time it came back on. At one point, the bulb burst into flames.
Another tale has a man decked out in his Sunday best wandering the house at night. The Web site says that no family has lived in the Blackwell House more than a month or so because of the spirits.
"We've lived here about five years," Witt said Tuesday afternoon, dispelling that myth.
The house was built by Dr. Nicholas Blackwell. According to a 2006 story about the house, Blackwell was Bartlett's first alderman and second mayor. He was influential in the settlement of the city, including donating land and a building for the first school. He died in 1910.
Witt said the fire, which was knocked down in about 25 minutes, was confined to the attic area above a second-floor room, and there was very little damage in the living areas below.
"It's not as bad as it could have been both inside and outside," Witt said.
He expects to repair the damage and remain in the house.

See How Bryan Singer Brought Quicksilver to the Screen in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'
Posted on Friday, September 26th, 2014 by Russ Fischer
X-Men: Days of Future Past featured old man Wolverine, Sentinel attacks, and a couple of giant battles featuring coordinated X-Men attacks — the sort of stuff we've been wanting from an X-Men film for a long time. And still, the best part of the movie was the one we all underestimated. Quicksilver, played by Evan Peters, looked pretty uninspired when we saw mere costume photos. But Peters nailed this version of the character, and his big action sequence is a standout not just in this film, but in the 2014 summer lineup.
Now, a behind the scenes video shows how some of the Quicksilver effects were achieved. More of it was done in-camera than people might realize, and so this is a treat to watch. (Germain mentioned this in Superhero Bits yesterday, but we figured that might not show it off to enough people.) Read More »

I found a truly rare piece of Celtics memorabilia on Ebay today. Ebay seller swoosh26.2 has a signed deadstock pair of Dave Cowens Nike Blazers. The shoes are also signed by the Celtics legend. Cowens was one of the first NBA stars to embrace Nike. It is very rare for sneakers of this age to come in the original (OG) box. Making the shoes even cooler is the shipping label that reads "Organization Boston Celtics". The shoes are listed for a cool $2,200. High prices, but the seller is accepting offers.

Guys - why would you text your ex your new cell number after you broke up with her?
About a month after my ex broke up with me in Feb, he texts me his new cell number. He wanted to remain friends because he didn't want to "burn any... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Hey now girls do this too. I dated someone who texted her new number to her ex after we been dating for almost a year. So imagine how frustrated I was, when I bought her a new phone with a new number. Kinda did it to see who she would be willing to give it out too. Man, did that blow up in my face.
Any how, the way I see it is that he still might care but not enough to work on a real friendship with you. I think he would be more upset with himself not being able to leave a door open for you and have you call him and get a message like, "this number is no longer in use".
I can't speak for why he acts the way he does but I do know that I wouldn't refuse s*x with an ex with no strings attached (besides from one girl, only because I still kinda care and that could set me back).
Remember that he knows you better then anyone else on this site and that he could be doing this just to see if you would use the number. This way the ball is basically in his court. You have the number, so now you have a choice whether or not to use it is up to you.
I've known he's a selfish a-hole for months, and I STILL hang on...I wish his damn number wasn't branded into my mind! Lol.

Yes, 'chrissyla8706' I kinda do care for the ex but there is so much sexual tension between the two of us, it's crazy. So even tho emotionally I can move on, I have a hard time getting past how physically attracted I am to this person. So when I say it would set me back, it would just make me want all the things we have already tired, but failed. I still think she is amazing and have so much respect for her, therefore will not be a jackass and let her move on and be happy because she deserves it
To the anonymous question asker. "I wish his damn number wasn't branded into my mind". You probably don't have his new number memorized so just erase it and be done with it. This way if he does popcorn you with a phone call you can just say, "oh yeah you did change your number, I just didn't take it down when you sent it to me". Because why would you care to, you know what I mean. Think if you sent him your number and he never called, you do and he was all, oh yeah totally forgot. You get the idea

He obviously cares for you, but not enough to be with you. The guy is acting like a jerk; he will do this as long as you continue to respond... And as long as you continue not to respond. Seriously. You're obviously awesome. He's never gonna leave you alone completely. I still have guys contacting me from years ago. Like one guy I hooked up with a couple times, he was this total badass with strippers tattooed on his forearms and a lowrider and the most confident demeanor I've ever seen, called me out of the blue a while back seeing if he could take me to dinner. Long story short, he knows he is crazy to have let go of you. He is obviously not the guy for you if he can't get his sh*t straight. So get close to your girls now, call them or your mom or your sister when you start feeling weak (when I wanted to call my ex last year I would literally unplug all of my devices of communication, stack them up, and go across the parking lot to my girl's apartment and put them in there for the res of the night, then I would stay and talk to her for a bit before I went home and did something productive, like learning a new hobby... I'm a sewing badass now, btw...). Let them build you up. Be proud of yourself; it's not every woman who can keep em coming back like that. Good luck!
Thank you for the comment. Geez, I wish he was running back to me. But I'm the one who can't let go, even still! I have always initiated contact, and he rarely responds, which is why I'm confused why he even gave me his new number. Boys!!!

Last time we saw the prince of the undead, he was impaled on a cross and turned into that pink sawdust bus drivers sprinkle on the floor when kids throw up. For just about anyone, even the common vampire, that would signal the end, once and for all. But this is Dracula we're talking about, and if Dracula Has Risen from the Grave proved to be a financial success for England's Hammer Studio, then you could bet good money on the fact that they'd find yet another way to bring the Count back from the dead, even if he'd been impaled on a cross and even if series star Christopher Lee was back out on the streets again telling anyone and everyone who would listen that the Dracula movies were awful and he would absolutely, positively, under no circumstances ever play Count Dracula again. Anyone who knows the cycle knows that means that the next film in the cycle, Taste the Blood of Dracula, stars Christopher Lee as the titular count, and that in turns means we'd have to read even more quotes from Lee about how he was practically forced to do this film, but that he'd sure as heck never do another one.

Horror Express
It didn't take long for the genres of horror and science fiction to start mingling. It's a natural marriage, after all, and the two often blend seamlessly, the best and among the earliest example likely being the first two Universal "Frankenstein" movies. Throughout the 1950s, horror and science fiction were frequent bedfellows as atomic terrors ran amok across assorted landscapes. Increasingly, however, it was the science fiction element of the films that was in the forefront, with the horror placed in the background unless one was genuinely terrified of superimposed grasshoppers. By the middle of the 1950s, science fiction was still enjoying the occasional big budget celebration a la This Island Earth (1955) and Forbidden Planet (1956) while horror films were becoming increasingly cheap, b-movie quickie affairs. Not that that means there weren't plenty of gems in the mix, but compared to science fiction, horror was lagging.
Scream and Scream Again
What the hell? It's rare these days that I have that reaction to a film. By this point, I really have seen just about everything, and the one thing that keeps that from being a depressing revelation is that sometimes something will pop up to remind that I haven't seen anything. This movie was apparently based on a book called The Disoriented Man, and while watching it, that was definitely an apt description of me. Scream and Scream Again seems for much of its running time to be three completely different movies. By the end, of course, things will be tied together, but not in a way that necessarily makes much sense. The end result is not unlike watching one of those Thomas Tang/Godfrey Ho ninja movies where they'd buy bits and pieced of a couple old Hong Kong films, splice them together with some scenes from some unfinished Italian action film, then stick in a series of newly shot scenes featuring white guys in red and yellow ninja outfits with headbands that say "Ninja!" on them and call the whole hideous Frankenstein's monster a movie.
So this is what a Playboy-produced film used to look like. You know, back before they modeled themselves after their brainless FHM style spawns and were still at the very least attempting to inject some cutting edge material in between the shots of naked women with badly feathered 1970s hair. I know the joke is old and tired, but you know there used to even be something worth reading in that magazine. Not so much these days, from what I can tell. I have many vices, but Playboy ceased to be one of them round about the time it forsook that dapper jet-set lifestyle and became just another frat boy publication. And Playboy films? Don't even get me started. Yeah, I've seen one or two. They're awful erotic thrillers, which I know seems like a silly criticism to level at Playboy films until you consider for a moment that there, for a brief spell in the 1970s, Hugh Hefner decided to throw the Playboy name and money at Roman Polanski's stylish, intelligent, and grim adaptation of one of Shakespeare bloodiest plays.
Magic Blade
Chor Yuen's mind-blowing Magic Blade is a prime example of something I've always appreciated about kungfu films. You see, there are certain things that, while deemed horrible in real life, are perfectly acceptable and even admirable activities for the hero of a kungfu film. I'm not talking about the obvious will-nilly killing of anyone who offends you in some way. No, I'm talking about, first foremost, the stamp of approval kungfu films put on beating up senior citizens. Outside of an Adam Sandler film, no one is going to cheer for a hero who beats grannies and tries to skewer them with elaborate bladed weapons. Even street thugs who don't give a damn about anything won't stoop so low as to mess up someone's grandma. That's why grandmas can get in between two jackasses waving guns at each other and send them home with tail between legs using nothing but harsh words and an umbrella or oversized pocketbook or maybe an oversized copy of The Bible.
Don Juan…Or If Don Juan Were a Woman
Where to start with this one? First off, it's a mess. Not necessarily an unenjoyable mess, but a mess never the less. Comparisons to Barbarella are, at least for me, inevitable since this is once again director Roger Vadim constructing a film around pop art, outrageous fashion, and his sex kitten obsession of the week. This time around it's French bombshell Brigitte Bardot. Granted, constructing your movie around Brigitte Bardot wearing outrageous outfits (or nothing at all) and parading around a series of equally outrageously designed space-age pop sets is certainly not a bad thing, but where Barbarella was freewheeling fun and campy enough to make the darker moments seem palatable, If Don Juan Were a Woman is possessed of a grubbier, perhaps even sleazier feel that makes the cynicism and nastiness of the characters difficult to bear. It certainly lacks the sexy-yet-innocent perverse glee of Jane Fonda's space opera.
Bardot stars as Jeanne, a self-proclaimed man-destroyer who recounts her deeds to a young priest. Her goal in life, after deciding that men are contemptible creatures is to seduce them, then drive them to ruin and, from time to time, suicide. She does this all while living on a partially submerged boat that looks to be the end result of a fight between interior designing mods and those weird 1970s people who dressed in flowing, shiny "future wear." Mod meets Freddie Mercury, I reckon. The script has a tendency to be so bland that this orgy of campy fashion and décor becomes the main reason to keep watching. Well that and the fact that, even a few years past her sex kitten prime, Brigitte Bardot is still a wonder to behold. She need only look at the camera to make you understand why men are willing to destroy themselves for her.
As I said, the movie has a real nasty streak. The woman who is abused by men to the point that she seeks to extract revenge on as many of them as possible should be a sympathetic character, but the script never really gives Bardot's Jeanne a chance to do much that is likable. She fancies herself, as the title suggests, something of a reincarnation of the famed 16th century lover, Don Juan. In the end, as befits a broadly drawn morality tale, she gets her (insanely out of proportion for her transgressions) comeuppance, but not before the film has indulged in numerous saucy bits. BB shines in a few erotic moments, but most the film lacks any real sexual charge. It all feels a bit…I don't know. Tired, I suppose.
I think the movie would have been better played as a farce with more drive and spirit. Instead, it takes a more serious approach and sinks under its own attempts to be important. Vadim was never a good director, but he had a great eye for the absurd, both in art design and storytelling. He should have indulged that predilection more in this film. Instead, it wallows not so much in its own mean-spiritedness as it does in its own tedium. It was meant to be sort of a autobiographical stab at the audiences from BB, the fading arthouse sex symbol who saw her life ravaged by tabloid attention. I guess the main problem isn't so much the darkness as it is the fact that everything unfolds in such dull fashion.
Chalk it up to this being a French production. Where Vadim under the guidance of the Italians was wild and free, here as part of the last dying embers of the French New Wave he is morose and dreary, a hipster whose hippest moments are behind him. He goes about making this movie devoid of joy, passion, or insight. It is clinically dry, even when Bardot is reclining naked in her big furry bed with another woman. Vadim was a stylist, and this movie relies too much on storytelling from a man who can't really tell a story. We are left with a train wreck of a film, too listless to be pleasurable, too silly and broadly drawn to be intellectual.
But it's not all drudgery here. There's enough eye candy on display to keep a viewer like me marveling at the tacky beauty of it all. And while they call her over the hill or past her prime, the way I see it Bardot, then age 39 or 40 is still plenty in her prime. This was, however, her last film. Even with her icy, detached performance here, Bardot still can't help but smolder. Too bad for this film that nothing every actually ignites.
And of course when it comes to eye-popping art design, Vadim was an ace, and this movie, despite its failings elsewhere, is still quite beautiful to behold. Nice cinematography helps highlight the truly cracked vision of this world that exists somewhere between the swingin' sixties and the self-destructively indulgent seventies. The look of the film is enough to merit slogging all the way through to the end, but just barely. And when you get there, the end is pretty goofy anyway. Still, I can't help but defer to the quirkiness of it all. As big a mess as it is, as haggard and confused and tired as it may seem in some parts, there is still something curiously alluring about the film.
Way of the Dragon
You can't overstate the impact Bruce has had on modern pop culture. Stars have come and gone, names like Jackie Chan, Clint Eastwood, and Jet Li are all familiar marquee names, but Bruce exists above all of them. Take a walk down any street in New York and you will see half a dozen shops with some sort of Bruce Lee merchandise. T-shirts, posters, scrolls, black velvet paintings, statues, action figures, movies — pretty much anything. I even saw one of those blacklight posters featuring the "holy trinity" of Bruce Lee, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Marley.
And these aren't just kungfu film specialty stores or Chinatown curiosity shops. Blacks, Puerto Ricans, whites, Dominicans, Chinese, Vietnamese, you name it and their culture has embraced The Dragon. No other action film star occupies the spot Bruce has obtained in our society. He is a modern day Greek hero, a Jason or Perseus, a man whose legend has grown to epic proportions. So, the obvious question from many people is "Why Bruce Lee?" What was it about this brash, good-looking young guy that made him such a phenomenon? Why Lee and not Ti Lung? Why Lee and not anyone else in the world? The answer is equal parts timing, skill, charm, and mystery.
Bruce hit the scene at a time when a lot of people in both Hong Kong and the United States were desperate for an underdog hero, especially one who wasn't white. The world was gorged on James Bond rip-offs and sanitized Westerns full of chiseled white guy good looks. The Vietnam War, Civil Rights movement, the Native American awareness movements that became things like the Wounded Knee siege — all these cultural elements were combining in an explosive wave of disillusionment with the way things used to be. The urban communities in America, who were hit especially hard by both the Vietnam War (since so many soldiers were minorities) and the frustration faced by the Civil Rights movement. With real-life heroes like Martin Luther King Jr. being gunned down, people were looking for heroes somewhere. Up until then Hollywood hadn't been providing them with anything.
Then came Bruce Lee. It's no coincidence that Lee hit the scene around the same time that black action stars like Fred Williamson, Richard Roundtree, and Pam Grier were starting to make a big impact on the scene. People were fed up with Bond and John Wayne. They wanted someone more modern, more bad-ass, and most importantly, they wanted someone to whom they could relate. Bruce wasn't white. He wasn't big. His characters were not rich or influential or successful. He was an everyman for all other men who could not see themselves in the previous set of American heroes. He was different, and he was the underdog.
In each of Lee's characters, there was plenty for the disillusioned to identify with. The condescension and racism hurled at him in Fist of Fury, having to take shit from a corrupt boss in Big Boss — there were things people recognized, and things people loved seeing Lee overcome. His biggest film in the United States, Enter the Dragon was a wild James Bond type action-adventure film where the Asian was the hero rather than a silly sidekick or devious villain. It was also a movie where the black character (Jim Kelly) is a noble and heroic man of principle, while the white guy (John Saxon) is a sleaze. A lovable sleaze, but a sleaze never the less.
Bruce Lee gave people hope, goofy as that might sound, that they too could overcome the odds facing them in everyday life. They could rise above the poverty and hopelessness of their situation. When Lee died under mysterious circumstances, it cemented his place not just as a star, but as a legend. His mark on society, from his face on a t-shirt to the popularity of martial arts training as a way to cope with growing up in the inner city, will remain in place long after the names of hundreds of other stars have been forgotten.
So which of these films should be the first Bruce Lee film we review? His biggest, Enter the Dragon? How about his first, Big Boss? Or the one most everybody considers his best, Fist of Fury (aka Chinese Connection). I think we've explained the whole Big Boss, Fist of Fury, Chinese Connection thing, but just in case you forgot, here's the deal: when Bruce Lee's Hong Kong films were brought over to the US to capitalize on the success of Enter the Dragon, someone screwed up and got the titles confused. Big Boss, Lee's first film, was mislabeled Fist of Fury. Realizing the blunder too late to fix it, distributors took the actual Fist of Fury (Lee's second, and many say best) and retitled it Chinese Connection, probably to capitalize on the success of French Connection as well as Lee.
Since they were on a roll, they decided to also retitle Way of the Dragon, calling it Return of the Dragon and marketing it as a sequel to Enter the Dragon despite the fact that it was made before that film.
But that brings us to where we want to be, which is the movie we've chosen to be the first Bruce Lee film we review. We chose it because it seems to slip through the cracks a lot, and because it's the only complete film that was written, directed, and choreographed by Lee himself. It's an excellent movie that allows Lee to showcase not just his incredible martial arts skill, but also his ability as an actor. Most people like to write Lee off as a one-trick pony, perhaps the best martial artist to ever live but a pretty rigid actor. Those people obviously go along with hearsay rather than actually investigating the matter themselves. People who claim Lee could only act enraged and couldn't handle comedy should pay closer attention to this film, in which Lee gets to shine as a comedian as well as an all-around kungfu bad-ass. Bruce even gets to do stuff that results in that "wah wah waaaahhhh" comedy music!
We begin at an airport in beautiful Roma — that's Rome to you non-cosmopolitan types out there. Bruce, playing Tang Long, is something of a country bumpkin from the rural land outside Hong Kong. Right away, Lee is great at invoking a sense of sympathy for his character. I mean, we all know Lee is the baddest man to ever walk the planet, but he plays his scenes here so realistically awkward and embarrassed that you feel bad yet amused for his fish-out-of-water character. He goes to an airport lounge and, not being able to read the menu, end sup ordering about six bowls of soup. Of course, he is still Bruce Lee, so he saves face by finishing them all, which allows him to launch a series of "must go to the toilet" jokes that will be a sure-fire comedy hit with the kids for years to come.
Lee also mines comedy gold in the "goofy effeminate guy with bad toupee" department. Bruce was, in fact, a huge fan of the Dean Martin – Jerry Lewis comedy team and the many films they did together. While Bruce's sense of humor is not quite as slapstick (and far less annoying) than Jerry Lewis, you can still see the influence it had on him. The main difference here is that Bruce is both the goofy, out-of-place Jerry Lewis and the suave, competent Dean Martin, depending on what the situation called for. Bruce definitely had a lot more depth than people gave him credit for.
After the soup skit, Bruce meets up with his cousin, played by the lovely Nora Mao (Fist of Fury, Big Boss), his frequent co-star. Nora had written her uncle back in Hong Kong to explain that they were having a lot of trouble with thugs at the restaurant in Rome. She expected him to send a lawyer, and instead he sent Tang Long, which Nora isn't exactly happy about as Tang is ignorant of big city culture, especially in the West. Tang Long explains that, while he may be a bit dim, he can help out in other ways.
He gets to show everyone his "other ways" when the thugs show up at the restaurant to smash things up and convince the Chinese to sell their land. It's always something like that, isn't it? The Man and The Mob are always trying to build malls on land owned by kungfu schools, community centers, and restaurants. It's a tried and true film formula, but it's also a comment on gentrification. In my old neighborhood, you could make a movie about The Gap trying to buy up land belonging to community gardens and outreach centers. Same shit, different era. I think The Gap stuck mostly to financial strong-arming, though, rather than sending thugs to beat up a guy named Pops.
Realizing that the thugs, one of whom I swear is Oliver Platt, won't listen to words, Bruce decides to speak with kungfu. He thrashes them soundly in a great sequence. Great not just because Lee is so fast and crisp with his art, but also because Lee's character undergoes a wonderful transformation. When dealing with the restaurant and the city of Rome, Tang Long is lost and vulnerable. But when he steps into the back alley to beat the shit out of the no-goodniks, he immediately becomes confident and in control. Ass kicking is a universal language, after all.
In between visits by the thugs, who keep arming themselves heavier and heavier only to still get the shit kicked out of them by Bruce, the film takes full advantage of its Rome locations. Hong Kong movies that filmed outside of Hong Kong were still very rare in the 1970s, so Lee takes in as much of Rome as can be crammed into a few "travelin' all around" montages. Then it's back to the alley behind the restaurant to kick ass on some more thugs. This is a pretty weak-ass mafia, I must say. But I guess they're not the big-time guys we see in films like The Godfather. After all, those guys are controlling international drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and resort casinos. These guys are trying to muscle out a restaurant. It's sort of like how most leprechauns get to guard gold and countless treasures, but Lucky the Leprechaun has to guard a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal.
In a theme that is present in all of Lee's Hong Kong films, he teaches other Chinese — other minorities — not to be ashamed of themselves or their heritage. When he arrives in Rome, the staff at the restaurant is practicing Japanese karate because they feel Chinese martial arts are weak and embarrassing. Once they see Lee in action, however, it fills them with pride and reinvigorates their interest in their own culture. This was an important theme for a film in 1972, and it's a large part of why Bruce Lee became so popular. He fights for the right not to be ashamed of the color of your skin, and he shows that minorities can survive the pressures put on them by the established white majority. They can rise above racism by learning, relying upon, and believing in themselves.
Once the boss finally catches on that his thugs are a bunch of fat-ass losers, he hires some karateka bad-asses in the form of Bob Wall and Ing Sik-wang (Stoner, When Tae Kwan Do Strikes, Young Master). Wall is best known for his role as the right evil O'Hara in Enter the Dragon. After a while, Bruce gets sick of beating up the thugs, who just never seem to learn their lesson. So he goes to their headquarters, beats them up there, then does a very impressive kick in which he leaps up into the air and smashes an overhead lamp, completely without the use of tricks or wires. To accomplish the same simple but impressive kick these days would require Yeun Wo-ping to use ten miles of wires, pulleys, and CGI effects.
Pissed off about their light, the thugs hire their own kungfu bad-ass in the form of Chuck Norris. I know, I know. You guys here Chuck's name and it makes you grimace and roll your eyes. Great. Now we gotta watch Lone Wolf McQuade. But take heart, li'l buckaroos. There is a vast difference between Chuck Norris the Bruce Lee opponent and Chuck Norris the Texas Ranger. For one, bash him all you want, but Chuck Norris was an amazing martial artist at his peak (which is when this movie was made, and why Bruce chose Norris). Legit martial artists and kungfu fighters all recognized Norris as possessing one of the fastest, deadliest spinning back kicks in the world. Judging Chuck's abilities based on his American films is like, well, judging Cynthia Rothrock by her American films or Sammo Hung by his work on Martial Law.
The finale sees Lee face off against Norris in the maze-like arches of the Roman Coliseum, invoking the not-so-subtle image of modern-day gladiators. The ensuing battle is one of the best kungfu one-on-ones ever filmed, with the Benny Urquidez – Jackie Chan fight in Wheels On Meals being a distant second. Part of why the fight between Norris and Lee is so great is because it hurts. In 1972, kungfu film choreography was still pretty basic outside of Lee's films, and a lot of the over-choreographed fights, while looking spectacular, lacked any sense of injury or power, especially when the guys would hit each other over and over with no real sign of damage.
When Lee and Norris hit each other, you can feel it. Their blows carry weight, and the weight shows. It's obviously a result of two legitimate martial arts bad-asses being involved rather than two guys trained in Peking Opera, dance, or stage fighting. Of course, despite all the flesh-pounding-flesh action, the most painful scene comes when Lee uses Norris' thick, Piltdown Man-esque coating of body hair (it's possible he was one of the cavemen laughing at farts I talked about earlier) as a weapon, ripping out a big chunk of chest hair (he could have used a little off the back as well). Of course, ripping out a man's chest hair makes you bad, but then proceeding to blow it into the man's face makes you bad-ass. It's the little things, you see.
There's some end-of-the film shenanigans after the fight before Lee wraps everything up and heads back to Hong Kong. The film is absolutely superb. Lee shines as both an actor and a fighter, and his skill and charm should be more than enough to win over pretty much anyone. Watching this movie, you'll have little question left in your mind why Lee has become to celebrated by so many different types of people. One could even take the Civil rights slogan "We Shall Overcome," and apply it to the work of Bruce Lee.
Bruce's direction is good. Nothing overly inventive or unique, but more than competent for a first-time director. It's a bit raw at times, though he really shines at filming the fight scenes, which probably shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Sammo Hung, in many ways a student and master of Bruce Lee's, would be the one director more than any of the others who would realize Lee's ambitions in filming and directing kungfu films. What Lee began in Way of the Dragon and never finished in Game of Death, Sammo would carry to fruition in films like Knockabouts, Prodigal Son, and Project A. Makes you wonder what the "Three Brothers" of Sammo, Yuen Biao, and Jackie Chan would have been like if it had been four brothers, and one of them was Bruce Lee.
Way of the Dragon, aside from being some of Lee's finest stuff, is notable for launching the film career of Chick Norris as well. I don't actually know if this is a good thing, but I guess it was good for Chuck. He went on after this film to play a bigger role in another Hong Kong actioner, Slaughter in San Francisco, aka Yellow-Faced Tiger. That movie gave him ample opportunity to throw back his head and laugh in an evil fashion while he stood with arms akimbo. He also got to kick people. From there, it was the big-time, as he went on to play heroes in one crappy film after another, thus endearing him to the American public. If you have to watch any Chuck Norris film besides Way of the Dragon, make sure it's The Octagon, because that at least has some ninjas in it.
Chuck Norris and Bob Wall would reunite many years later to make the film Hero and the Terror, and even later to appear as themselves in Sidekicks, a film best left undiscussed. Bruce, of course, went on to make Enter the Dragon, the film that would become his ladder to the realm of modern-day legend and launch the kungfu craze in America. Lee's contributions to the genre are sundry. He gave it it's banner star. He gave it the refinement of fight choreography, which up until Lee had been stiff and stage-like. He gave it comedy and heart. He gave it international appeal. He gave it Bruce Lee. A man full of anxieties, flaws, genius, ambition, fear, and fearlessness. A man whose name and face would become ubiquitous.

Dominique + Ken | Alberta Wedding Photography
Posted by ElizabethD On September 11th, 2014
What an incredibly gorgeous summer Alberta got this year! If there is one thing we can all remember about Dom and Ken's day, it. was. HOT! But oh so a perfect, the heat made this country wedding even more authentic.
Although I'm pretty biased, we do have the most amazing couples in our Eee + Bee family. Bee and I are always so blessed and honored at the fantastic couples that walk through the doors of our home and allow us to be a part of a very important day in their lives. Dom and Ken are right up there with the kindest and funnest people around. And their day reflected them perfectly.
We drove out to Ferintosh, AB, a place we'd never heard about until they inquired with us, I was sure it was fake! But it was an adorable little town on the edge of a lake where the couple grew up together, so it was only fitting this is where they would tie the knot. Perfect.
A relaxed set of bridemaids hung out on the balcony of the B&B and an equallly casual set of groomsmen at his cabin by the lake. This is the best way to start a wedding day. The sky was so blue and the canola was a perfect backdrop as we wandered around the countryside and then headed for a fun party full of heartfelt speeches, hilarious videos of the couple, and an accordion tribute to Dom and Ken, and everyone knows anything musical automatically makes the wedding amazing, so this fantastic day just kept getting better and better as the night went on!
Congrats to this lovely couple!

Sometimes June and July can have the most terrible weather. But we are always happy when the skies clear in June, because that means summer is coming and Alex and Evan got a beautiful day out of it too!
This is the first time we got to experience a Ukrainian ceremony and what a treat!! The colours of the altar, songs in praise of God and the couple, and the beautiful traditions throughout made this day truly memorable for us. It's often hard to choose a favorite part of the day (that's right we have favorite parts of your day too) but I have one from theirs for sure. After their beautiful ceremony and pronouncing them husband and wife, the priest had Alex and Evan turn to each other, stand face to face, hand in hand, and spoke to them about the wonders and hardships that marriage will bring to them, and may this moment serve as a reminder of their love for one another to overcome and stand by each other in everything. Of course, I was silently sniffling behind my camera as they smiled hugely at each other and it was the most beautiful moment to capture and be part of.
The rest of their day was spent laughing endlessly with their amazing bridal party, gazing at the stunning decor, and listening to touching speeches about this sweet couple. And to top it all off a personalized song at the end of the night. Amazing!
We were so happy to be a part of this day. Congrats you two.
