Though it captivated a massive audience when it began in 1989, for the last few years, "The Simpsons" has been to Sunday night what icing is to a doughnut: You'd miss it if it wasn't there, but it's not exactly exciting.
Despite its antics over the last 18 seasons, the animated family from Springfield became as familiar as next-door neighbors. Then came the hullabaloo over the show's 400th episode in May, and after that, the opening of Kwik-E-Mart-themed 7-Elevens across the country in June.
Now, "The Simpsons Movie" is hitting theaters and it's hard not to wonder: Can all of this get audiences excited about an almost 20-year-old series?
The challenge is certainly there. The much-anticipated movie, which features Homer turning Springfield into a toxic wasteland and the Simpsons fleeing to Alaska, comes at a time when people are turning away from the Fox show.
During the 1992-93 season, "The Simpsons" averaged 22.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. An average of 9.1 million viewers tuned in for the 2006-07 season — not a shabby audience, but not the overwhelming one the show drew in the past.
And regardless of how well the movie does or how many packs of Buzz cola the Kwik-E-Marts sell, media experts agree that the glory days of "The Simpsons" are long gone. While the satirical sitcom broke ground and remains a cultural icon, it's almost impossible for it to regain its 1990s' level of popularity.
"I can't imagine that the movie would come out and 'The Simpsons' would return to the ratings that they had 1991," said Bob Thompson, a Syracuse University professor of television and pop culture. "'The Simpsons' is its own toughest act to follow. Everyone is going to go to the movie thinking this is the best 'Simpsons' that they've ever seen."
Besides trying to outdo itself on the big screen, on its home turf "The Simpsons" has to contend with similar shows that didn't exist when it began. Fox's "Family Guy" and Comedy Central's "South Park" followed in its footsteps. Now, they compete for its audience.
"'The Simpsons' started such an explosion of shows like it that now the market is much more crowded," Thompson said. "In 1989, it had its niche all to itself."
Plus, as any veteran channel surfer knows, TV fare today is not what it was in the early '90s. While audiences have soured on sitcoms, they're lapping up reality TV and dramas, according to Joe Lazslo, director of market research firm JupiterResearch. "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening may have to change the core of the show to keep it appetizing.
"Story-arc-based shows are huge right now," Lazslo said. "People seem to be latching onto stories that change over time and plots that take a whole season to unfold. It would take a fundamental change for 'The Simpsons' to do that, but that might be what it takes to revitalize it. Maybe you have to let Bart and Lisa grow up a little bit."
Indeed, if Bart were flesh and blood, he'd be in his late 20s by now. And though the show's cast doesn't cover up age lines or flaunt surgically enhanced body parts, Thompson thinks they're getting a little old.
"Eventually, you wear the characters out," he said. "I would say Homer Simpson is one of the great comedic characters in the history of American TV. But still, you get to the point after so many years that you've kind of said what there is to say about them."

Addons Detector
If you are looking for the app that uses AirPush or other push notifications, you can easily find the app and uninstall.
Besides push notifications, using this app is a great way to see what advertising agencies apps use, and what tools they have integrated.
Does the normal scan not detect the spam ads? Enable the notification monitor and you can easily see which program puts a notification in your notification area.
Another cool feature that we added is the live scanner. This scanner scans newly installed and updated apps for selected addon categories and displays a notification if they are found. This feature is reserved for users that have donated.
If you are getting shortcut spam on your homescreen, we've added a new icon ad monitor that should detect that too.
**To support us you can now easily donate through inapp billing.**
** Beta testers: If you want to beta test new functionality join our Google+ beta test group: http://goo.gl/P1TkpR and follow the instructions to receive beta updates through Google Play. **

*** Known issues ***
Samsung Galaxy 3 keeps talking to me when on my home screens saying folder is open or similar.
This seems to be an ICS/Samsung bug. It happens for some people and also with other apps that use the accessibility service such as Tasker, Light Flow and others.
Try to fix it:
Samsung S3: - Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Talkback "ON" - Select "Settings" from the bottom of the page - Uncheck all Talkback options - Switch Talkback "Off" again - Go back to Settings -> Application manager -> All - Disable Google TTS (text to speech) - Disable Samsung TTS (text to speech)
More issue details here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23105
We can't guarantee that our results are 100% correct. Sometimes addons, like pushnotifications, are integrated in larger sdk's, and the developer doesn't need to use them, although we detect them. We strive to be conservative about marking apps as suspected, but errors can occur.
Ghost Phone
GHOSTPHONE WORKS ON ANDROID VERSIONS 2.0 OR HIGHER. However, here's a special note just for those using versions 3.1 or higher: When you start GhostPhone for the very first time (or if you manually stop it from the "Manage application" menu), before starting GhostPhone by calling the 9991 number, you must first run the "Glass Wallpaper" app from the Home Screen.
GhostPhone is an application that allows you to manage calls and messages (also MMS from Android 2.2+) in a completely anonymous way. The calls sent/received and the messages sent/received are not recorded in the standard log of the phone. The application allows you to manage reserved contacts from a special phonebook, where you can make calls and send messages without leaving any trace. Messages received from a reserved contact in the GhostPhone phonebook are not logged in inbox, but are registered in the GhostPhone reserved list of messages. GhostPhone is not present among the applications that run from the Home screen of your phone, but you must start it by calling the special number 9991. As you can see for yourself the features of the Ghostphone phonebook are similar to the standard phonebook. Obviously, through the 'Settings' menu you can customize the number to call to access the GhostPhone as well as many other features. Forgot your PIN access code? Call 9999 to receive it on your email. Make your phone vanish into thin air! Try GhostPhone!
GhostPhone doesn't work with a third part messaging app? Try this:
1. Uninstall GhostPhone and third part messaging app.
2. First install GhostPhone.
3. Then install third part messaging app.

It is designed to address critical gaps in teenagers' understanding of key personal finance issues and to teach them how to handle money responsibly.
The initiative stemmed from a comprehensive research project conducted by Carrington Dean which gathered the views of 1,042 young Scots aged between 15 and 17. It revealed 82 per cent of teenagers believe they have not been taught enough at school about personal finance.
The Carrington Dean Financial Education Report 2014 also revealed a widespread lack of confidence in understanding basic financial documents such as bank statements and mobile phone bills as well as deeper financial anxieties, with debt emerging as a significant concern among Scottish teenagers.
Peter Dean, managing director of Carrington Dean, which includes Scotland's largest independent debt solutions business, said: "We firmly believe that financial education has an important part to play in breaking the cycle of poor financial literacy and financial hardship.
"We also believe it is important to give something back to the communities we serve. We are offering to help schools deliver lessons which will help more young people in Scotland mature into adults capable of managing their own financial affairs, of confidently evaluating financial options, and of building a financially secure future."

John Ball Zoo Wildlife Conservation Fund
For more than twenty years the John Ball Zoos Wildlife Conservation Fund has helped fund over 100 projects. These projects have helped conserve wildlife and wild places in more than 30 countries.
Many projects funded by the Wildlife Conservation Fund have been education based with an eye to helping communities learn about the wildlife around them. In addition, the fund has lent support to help conserve some of the lesser known taxa such as endangered reptiles and amphibians.
Animals native to Michigan have garnered special attention from the Wildlife Conservation Fund and conservation fund monies have supported projects ranging from installing interpretive graphics at Palomita Reserve in Grand Haven, Michigan to characterizing what bacteria are normally found in salamander habitats in the Great Lakes region.
When John Boyles had the insight in 1985 to start the Conservation Fund here at John Ball Zoo he was truly visionary. Over the years his vision has been turned into a wonderful reality of support for conservation throughout the world.

Magic try to get new players up to speed
Updated: December 22, 2010, 7:48 PM ETBy Michael Wallace | ESPN.com
ORLANDO -- Amid mounting losses, a brutal stretch in the schedule and trying to get four new players adjusted on the fly, Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy felt the last thing his team needed after having played games on consecutive nights was a day off.
Apparently, there's no rest for the reeling in Orlando.
So instead of enjoying what otherwise would have been a work-free day coming off a back-to-back set, the Magic pushed through a two-hour practice session Wednesday afternoon. ...

IBEROSTAR Bellevue
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Bellevue
Sven Van De Wal, Belgium says: 9 months
Great stay!
"This hotel is located in the center of the coast line of Montenegro and is an ideal place to start discovering the country. All the "important things to do" in this area are not too far away (even Dubrovnik isn't). In the neighbourhood of the hotel there is no cosy town center where you can have a little evening walk (the distance to the beautiful town center of Budva is too far in the evening). The animation team makes enough efforts to let you forget this. The garden of the hotel is beautiful and very well maintained. The whole staff is friendly (even the guards!) and helpfull (except the cooks "the men in black") but it's hard to communicate with 95% of them in the English language. We stayed here during 12 days and were still loving the variety of food the kitchen offered us. For this amount of guests the hotel needs more staff in the "Grand" restaurant which also needs a little reorganisation. It's too noisy and there is no cosy atmosphere. We had the feeling of eating in a dining room of a factory. We have no complaints about the "Terrace" restaurant which is more quiet, more cosy and more relaxing than the other one. In 2014 WIFI should be free of charge. All these things together we decided to give you an 8/10!"Rating: 8,0
Denys says: 9 months
"We are waiting for fridge for a two days, hotel doesn't found second pair of slippers, bad room cleaning, very bad wifi and not for free, at the Grand restaurant waiters every time forget to give all cutlery. But you have very pleasing and friendly hostesses in all restaurants, on reception girls try to help in everything all time, thanks for this."Rating: 5,0
Ivan Maes says: 10 months
very nice hotel, only personnel should act more severe to guests that don't respect the rules. A lot of guests agree with this problem.
"Hotel was very good, very nice personnel, e.g. Susanna from reception terasse, Emin, the waiter from our restaurant, Stephan, the cook, Dragan from the animation team and lots of others! The food was very various, but after 5 days a little bit boring as the same food returned. It was a marvellous hotel with for us only two negative things: 1) people that reservate towels at the swimming pool and even don't show up at te pool till the evening. Bath master should take away these towels! 2) People that spoil food, this makes the all-in much cheaper for all guests, also for us who did not spoil with food and there was also no control on the all-in-bracelets so that a lot of people who did not pay for all -in profited from all-in-avantages, there were we did pay extra for all-in and they not! Please give a big thank you to the people who made our vacation stay fantastic: Susana from the reception, Dragan from iberostar animation and Emin, the waiter, they were really very good!!!!!!! Kind regards Ivan, Petra and Romy Maes from Belgium"Rating: 8,0

Using this dryer for regular loads couldn't be easier and more fun. You press the nice round power button and watch as everything lights up and it plays a happy sound, then you just press Play and walk away. Simple. If you like your regular loads done a little differently (for example: more or less dry at the end) you can save your preferred settings for single-button recall every time. Of course it can do plenty more than that (steam injection to remove creases from clean but wrinkled shirts and drying sneakers being just a couple of its neat tricks). I definitely recommend the stand accessory. It's much easier on your back to have the door up higher off the ground when transferring laundry in and out. It also makes using the controls easier because they're closer to eye level. I'm really enjoying owning and using this dryer. It's really nicely put together and clearly a lot of thought went into how it should work.

The first time this unit was started you could not even tell it was running. Thereafter, when it runs it emits a rumble that is similar to a UH-1 military helicopter hovering over our home. The laundry room is upstairs over the living room so you can imagine the pure joy we experience during laundry times !!! The retail store where we purchased it was called and they sent out a factory certified repair person under the warranty coverage. He disassembled the unit and inspected it. He even lubricated several places and reassembled the unit. Upon start up to test it he pronounced it was "better" and packed up and left after advising that if I made a recording of the noise and emailed it to him he would forward it to LG for resolution. I did so and have never heard back from anyone. Now we get to enjoy the background sound effects from " Apocalypse Now " every time we do laundry. Oh the joy !!!

Love it!
By Satisfied
from Tacoma, WA
As it turned out, we didn't need to replace our old dryer, which was the same one, only older. A repairman had accidentally broken a wire in the attic. My husband ordered this dryer, as it was like the one we had. Oh, my....Love it! I believe it's even more efficient than the old one, and I loved that one, too!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very quiet, love the steam feature.

I chose the cherry red and it looks beautiful in my laundry room. It is very quiet, and has lots of options for drying clothes.
By Cleigh07
from Odessa, TX
I have the matching red washer and dryer and I absolutely love them! They are both extremely quiet and efficient. The dryer actually gets everything dry every time on the first cycle. I also love how easy to use the dryer is and that it gives me multiple options for settings. I would definitely recommend this dryer to anyone!
Worked great for six months
By Ed
from Havertown, PA 19083, USA
We bought this dryer with our wedding money and within six months the heating element stopped working. When it works, it's fantastic--the steam fresh option is great for getting shirts "work ready" in a pinch. We bought it for the steam sanitation option for our newborn's clothes but it has broken three times in the past four months. For the number of headaches and trips to the laundromat we've taken, I'd say look elsewhere for a dryer.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Best thing since sliced bread too!

We bought the washer and dryer to match. Love the color. The dryer actually dries the towels in no time. Something my old dryer took forever to do. I can't say enough about LG. I am never buying any other brand if I have to replace an appliance.

By 1stHome10

I have a small laundry room/entry from garage so I was excited to get my pair of front loading washer/dryer so I have room on the top to fold clothes. The dryer has worked very well so far. Nice and quiet, easy to use, and I like the steam option. The only thing that didn't dry all the way was a thick rug, so I should have used timed dry because the censor thought it was dry too soon. Other than that it has done great with heavy loads like jeans and sheets and towels. It even has a cute chime at the end of the cycle that my mom thought was so neat!
Great dryer!

Very quite, dries clothes with very few wrinkles and the steam fresh works great!
Love, love love this dryer!!
By Suzanne

This is the perfect dryer for my family! It thoroughly dries loads of jeans, has the wrinkle free steam feature and is very quiet. It evens plays a little tune to let you know that your clothes have finished the drying cycle. It is a quality item at a great price!

The Associated Press, March 22, 2006
HOUSTON — The man who brought the indictment against former Enron Corp. Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling visited his fraud and conspiracy trial Wednesday with a slew of law students in tow.
Sam Buell, a former prosecutor with the Justice Department's Enron Task Force who now teaches a course in corporate crime at the University of Texas School of Law, brought his students to sit in on the biggest fraud case to emerge from the recent era of corporate scandals.
"I feel like this is a distant memory in my life," Buell said, "but it continues on. It gives you a sense of how epic these cases are. They just go on for years."
Buell was assigned to the task force at its inception in January 2002 and joined the university as a visiting professor after he stepped down in March 2004. He secured the government's indictment against Skilling a month before.
Skilling's co-defendant, Enron founder Kenneth Lay, was indicted in July 2004.
"I miss the opportunity to try this case a little bit. It's the white-collar trial of the century," Buell said. "But it can completely capture your life. It's trial by ordeal, not just for the defendants."
Buell helped prosecute Arthur Andersen LLP in 2002 on an obstruction of justice charge for destroying tons of Enron-related documents in the fall of 2001 as regulators began investigating the energy company's finances. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned that conviction last year, citing vague jury instructions that allowed jurors to convict without finding criminal intent behind document destruction.
Buell and his students on Wednesday observed testimony from former Enron Treasurer Ben Glisan Jr., who corroborated previous witnesses linking Lay and Skilling to a web of lies about Enron's health. Glisan pleaded guilty to conspiracy in September 2003 and is halfway through a five-year prison term.
Matt Nickson, a third-year law student, said he was impressed with what he saw, but he had no predictions of the outcome.
"I don't like to judge. My tendency is not to want to condemn people," he said.
Skilling faces 31 counts of fraud, conspiracy, insider trading and lying to auditors, while Lay faces seven counts of fraud and conspiracy. The government contends both lied repeatedly about Enron's financial strength when they allegedly knew the company was propped up by accounting tricks.
The two defendants counter that there was no fraud at Enron, they did nothing wrong, and negative publicity as well as diminished market confidence drove the company into bankruptcy protection in December 2001.

I have a Ph.D. degree from Rice University with background in math and computer science. I am now an independent investment advisor. Before this, I was a financial advisor. Before that, I was an assistant professor. Even before that? I was studying at Rice University.
I love teaching. Being able to explain math in a way that most people can understand is so rewarding to me! To some people, math is hard or scary and the step-by-step reasoning seems like a magic show. It does not have to be this way! In fact, understanding the fundamental concepts and getting a clear big picture will help the students a lot. Quite many times, when I tell tutees that logarithm is just taking the exponents, they will stare at me with disbelief and shock. Then after trying some simple examples, they can actually appreciate the logarithmic operations.
As a tutor, I have found that many times, the small tips and tricks can shed light to the tutees. Then many things can turn out to be bright as if a new window has just opened. Going from the initial frustration to the enlightening "click" in their mind, the tutees become excited and the subsequent homework/test will not seem to be a daunting mountain any more.
I have two daughters, one in elementary school and one in middle school. As they grow older, I become very interested in helping them learn faster and more efficiently. I wrote a computer program "DearBank" so that they can deposit (or withdraw) their allowance money into this bank and enjoy a much higher interest rate (for example, 3 percent per month!). Inside this program, they use algebra and calculus to handle banking and also play the stock market game.

He knows Java well, and he provided me an excellent tutoring session in Java at an introductory level. He is patient and thorough in his explanations. He's also willing to answer any questions you have. When the time comes, I will definitely tutor with him again.
His style is simple. I'm able to apply his suggestions to many areas. I feel his expertise is valuable. Many areas were confusing, but by using his techniques of understanding, I feel more confident in my knowledge and comprehension.
Finished up for this year and Ming was outstanding. He both grasps Portfolio Theory very well and is very good at communicating it. As with any tutor, it is important to be able to supplement the instructor, so it's a win-win situation. I felt with my instructor, his TA, and Ming, I could grasp the subject and understand its content better. It takes a village sometimes to learn. Also, it can be very hard to try to prepare a question on what you don't know you don't know, in time for office hours, so a virtual one-on-one was advantageous. As courses become more theoretical to compete with "free online versions of plug and chug", it is important to have such virtual tutors, for it makes us better students and maximizes our time with our primary instructor.
Ming Z. is really patient and good at tutoring. I would recommend him to other students who need help studying statistics.
I embarked on my Series 7 studies with the knowledge that I had only one opportunity to pass this exam. Knowing my weak area was Options, I searching for a tutor with that expertise. I'm so grateful I found Ming. Not only did Ming help me conquer the options portion of the exam, but additionally, he provided tips on how to prepare for the exam overall. Ming's communication style is very crisp & clear, he was always punctual & showed great patience. I unequivocally recommend Ming as I believe he was instrumental in my passing the Series 7 exam on my first attempt!
I am happy to report that the most difficulty experienced in the process of obtaining a tutor has been my own procrastination and worry - Once I was able to make a decision and reach out to Ming for assistance - everything seemed to change. It was as if my ability or lack of when it comes to helping my daughter with the challenges she faces in Algebra II - vanished after the first communication with Ming which happened to be late one night since that was the only time in my hectic schedule that allowed me to actually stop and research these options. Ming was very accommodating, understanding, and encouraging. Enough about my relationship with Ming as a Parent - let's move on to what really matters and what I am convinced to be Ming's passion - facilitating the process of revealing math to his students.
I must preface the following by indicating that my daughter has not received any quiz grades since meeting with Ming, however there is an undeniable confidence in her ability to discuss/explain her understanding of the areas covered in the initial tutoring session. Additionally, she was encouraged by the way that Ming communicated complicated subject matter clearly. Lastly, and probably the most indicative sign that Ming has made progress - (remember prior to grading) -is that my daughter was comfortable and is now even excited about her next tutoring session.
As you can tell, I am excited also and in some sense I compare this to when my daughter needed braces because at one time she avoided smiling because of her teeth and since meeting with Ming we have been able to be happy about her ability to learn Math
Our first experience with Mr. Ming Z. has been wonderful, although my 8th grader and I have a long road to go with pre-algebra I'm feeling more confident and optimistic now that we've selected Mr. Ming as our tutor.
Ming is such an incredible tutor. He is very patient and makes everything so clear. I learned so much in the 1st week of our sessions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Computer Science focuses on the science part for tasks involving computers (as opposed to computer engineering). On one side, computer science studies how to make computers work (e.g., operating systems and compilers).

Also I have developed a FREE computer program to train people on stock trading with real data.
Finite math is a quite broad collection of topics that are anything but calculus. I will help you with mathematical model building, linear algebra, linear programming, combinatorics, probability, statistics and logic. I have over 15 years of experience working with educational and research projects in the field.
I had heavily used linear algebra in my studies and research for over ten years. From the algebraic viewpoint, linear algebra is the "art" of manipulating matrices. From the geometric viewpoint, it is the study of vector spaces. One trick in linear algebra is to "dig holes". If you have not heard about it before, this idea will definitely help your understanding of linear algebra.
I had rigorous and formal training in mathematical analysis. I also had extensive exposure to logic in computer science study and research. During my previous logic tutoring sessions, I had covered the topics of set theory, propositional and first-order logic, completeness, and other logical issues.
I have used MATLAB for over 10 years on daily basis. I develop most of my computer programs in MATLAB now.
I held a Series 7 license when I worked as a financial advisor. Many people find the Series 7 exam hard because of the options problems. I have developed my own trading algorithms based on options (calculation and valuation). The math behind the options can be explained and learned in a relatively easier way.

Dog Microchip
Lost Dog Success Story
It happened in an instant. The gardener left the gate open and the family's dog ran away. Two years later and more than 3,000 miles away, someone across the country identifies the lost dog. The dog reunited with his family thanks to his microchip. Watch the video below to watch this amazing story unfold.
Thankfully, stories like this are becoming more common due to microchipping. A microchip is a system that combines technology and old-fashioned database management to help lost pets return to their families. Below we take a look at the pros and cons of microchipping your dog.
- Pets are not bothered once the microchip is placed.
- The device can be implanted in less than a minute.
- Microchips can't be disfigured, removed or tampered.
- Microchips are more expensive than tags or tattoos.
- Most devices are standardized.
- Many people wouldn't know to have a lost pet scanned at a local shelter or veterinary hospital.
Microchips, as with identification tags, can greatly benefit your dog should he ever get lost. If you do decide on microchipping your dog, make sure your contact information is accurate and in the system. For more questions concerning microchips, contact your local veterinarian.
Watch this heartwarming video of a missing dog found 3,000 miles away from home.

Despite my somewhat low rating, I was impressed with this film. I thought I wouldn't be able to stand it and it's 2 and 1/2 hour runtime would drag on and on. Luckily, this wasn't true. The movie is basically an exaggerated view of football to add a whole lot of drama on and off the field. The drama isn't that impressive (and it sometimes causes eye-rolling) but it keeps the film amusing enough. The film sways back and forth between good and bad. We sometimes get surprising thrills, interesting speeches, and enjoyable characters but then we get some predictable events, inappropriate dialogue, and forced complications. The film's best aspect, however, is Oliver Stone's style. His style, more than anything else, holds the film together and helps keep everything somewhat appealing.
I enjoyed this one. It does a good job of representing the sport as well as what goes on behind the scenes.
Oliver Stone's examination of the ego-driven, inflated world of professional football does not contain the passion or energy of Stone's best work...even though he tries to cover that up by using the rapid-cut editing that has become a staple of his style. Any Given Sunday examines so many storylines that it seems as if Stone is trying to cram every single pro-sports cliche into the movie. In addition to the backup quarterback who proves everyone wrong and then is undone by his growing ego, we get a corrupt team doctor, an aging player trying to hang on for one last game, an interfering owner, and a craggy coach who is tied to his romantic notions about the game of football. Stone has never been known as a subtle director, but his use of caricatures in this film makes it a tedious exercise. The cast is excellent, and most of them transcend Stone's vision and create believable characters, but since their fates are so predictable, there is not really any drama in the film. Al Pacino plays the head coach of the Miami Sharks (a fictional franchise), and through his eyes we see the ups and downs of the team as they suffer through injuries, egos and an owner's daughter (Cameron Diaz) who is convinced she knows what is best for the team. The central storyline involves the injury of the team's aging quarterback (Dennis Quaid), and the success of his stopgap replacement (Jamie Foxx). While Stone intends to make points about the greed and selfishness that is inherent in pro sports, the effectiveness of his point is undermined by his own frenetic style. The film drags on for three long hours, with nothing particularly insightful or profound to tell us about the world of pro sports. Worse, Stone doesn't find an engaging way to shoot the actual football scenes, and so the games seem like a hodge-podge of hits and grunts, with no sense of the strategy that is integral to football. The performances are all quite good (I particularly liked James Woods as an oily team doctor), but the actors are abandoned by Stone's ego and his obtrusive style. Any Given Sunday has the content of a standard sports drama, but Stone believes he is making an epic statement about American culture. In sports, it is important to understand what type of team you have, and in filmmaking, it is important to understand what type of movie you are trying to make. Stone is going for a Hail Mary when the playbook clearly calls for a short pass.
Here's my 1999 review of Any Given Sunday. I was sick with Pneumonia when I wrote this and had been for about two months and, therefore, it sucks. Still, enjoy!
Picture this: I'm sick... and I don't mean sick as in "I have a cold" or "I have the flu", I'm sick as in "I've had pneumonia for a month. Will I live to see 2000?". Yep, that's how I spent the last two weeks and my Christmas holiday... at death's door coughing and hacking up stuff that you only see in your nightmares. Well, I'm on the road to recovery at last and now I'm worrying about how to see the final wave of '99 releases before the big two-zero-zero-zero kicks me right in the butt. So, my little brother decides to drive me into town and see a movie right. Nice of the little guy (I say little even though he's going to be eighteen in two weeks and he's just a hair taller than I am now) since he knows I love the movies and haven't been able to go for a while. He asks me which movie I want to see... now, keep in mind I still don't feel very well... and I respond, "I don't care.
Big mistake.
My baby bro picks Any Given Sunday knowing full well that the only thing I hate more than football is a football movie. In fact, the best football movie I've seen in the last five years has been The Waterboy. Still, I was in that depressed sickly just-don't-give-a-crap stage and I went anyway.
I will say this, Any Given Sunday was hands and yards better than Varsity Blows, but in the long run it amounted to an NFL highlight film sporadically interrupted by a movie. Imagine... Monday Night Football: The Movie!
Oliver Stoner... I mean, Stone... God bless him, he has such mastery over the moving image. He manipulates action and imagery as though it was fine marble and he was Michelangelo.
Al Pacino... the guy totally rules. He can take a piece of shit role like the one he had in Dick Tracy and make it into a scene-chewing bonanza! I want to be just like Al when I grow up!
Cameron Diaz... My god, even when she's a total bitch on wheels, as she is in this movie, she is hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!
LL Cool J... Does anyone find it odd that right after Deep Blue Sea we would find him playing football for a team called "The Sharks"?
And finally, Jaime Foxx... Our boy has really grown up. From Luwanda "I'm Gonna Rock Yo' World" on In Living Color to his big screen dramatic debut in On Any Given Sunday, Foxx proves he's got the acting legs to make it in Hollywood.
Any Given Sunday is chock full of excellent stars, but the story is paper-thin, full of every clich
Just saw.
Being John Malkovich.. just awesome!
I so wanted to like this one. Al Pacino and Cameron Diaz should have been great. But this movie is a snooz and the football uniforms look like ballet outfits. Stay away!
The performances are great, Al Pacino, and Jamie Foxx's being the best.A great movie rental, and if you love movie, and football, you are in for a very juicy treat. However, the film does tend to drag on in some respect, and Stone isn't on the top of his game.
:rolleyes: I don't like sports. I don't like hockey, Football, Tennis, baseball, or any other sport. So you can imagine what I thought of this movie...:rolleyes:...well what can I say. It is well acted, It is probably one of the best sport movies out there...if there is such a thing....:rolleyes:...But alas....I am willing to give this a six since the only reason I didn't like it is.....did I mention? I don't like sports!
This is my last update for the night, I promise.
Oliver Stone

There's an old cautionary maxim in business, "If you torture the data long enough, it will confess." Sort of like rigid ideologists continually pounding those square pegs into round holes.
One gets the impression this is what the bureaucrats at Los Alamos Public Schools are striving to do with University of New Mexico-Los Alamos as their latest brain flatulence envelops the room: i.e., "High School 2.0." They've at once swerved into something creative and then overcompensated. It looks like what's taking shape is yet again, another standard local community college, in which nebulous promises are made to guide the appropriate students into pre-career fields. Oh, the humanity!
People, we live in Los Alamos … stop and fully take that in for a second. Maybe a little dusty, maybe a little rusty, maybe a little shy, but our "global brand" is right up there with Coca-Cola.
Our kids are the best and brightest in New Mexico, and I can only say to the older dim-witted or unimaginative, "you're not thinking big enough, Bucko." Get a clue, this isn't grad school any more, you can stop your ramen noodle diet and shopping at Goodwill.
