|Why are American movies popular in Asia, but not vice-versa?

|Well, you might as well ask why is English taught and used widely in Aisa, and not vice versa~

That's not true for all asian movies. For example "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was popular. "Hero" did pretty well too.
As a general rule, it's not just Asian movies that are not popular. The same is true for most foreign films.
You should also remember that Hollywood spends a lot more on advertising than most Asian distributors would afford to spend.

American movies are also popular in Europe, Africa, and pretty much everywhere else. It is not just an Asian phenomena.

Yes, and it also happens to be the big fiftieth anniversary project. The problem is?

|The best part about the new movie is that it has the Japanese suit Godzilla fight the US cgi Godzilla. I wish they bring this movie to the US already.

I think it's also supposed to be the final Godzilla movie (at least for now) which is why it's called "Godzilla Final Wars".

|Eh, they say that every other decade or so, but they always end up making more about five to ten years after that.

|I think it's different this time. Godzilla has sucked big time at the box office in recent years. So now they want to go out with one big movie, then stop for at least 10 years so people will want more Godzilla.

Uh, that's what Nagisa just said. They've had several "last" movies, then 10 years later they bring out another one.

|You guys are pretty much all right. I actually got to see this film at the premiere in Hollywood two weekends ago and talked to a lot of people about how it was going up against the Incredibles at the box office. Somehow these Godzilla movies always seem to get released along side some big American film. Anyways, yes this is the 50th anniversary film, and yes it's supposed to be the last one they're ever going to do. But, in about 5 years when Toho realizes they need to make a quick buck, guess what, we're gonna get ourselves yet another addition to the Godzilla series. Which, being a Godzilla fan, i won't mind at all.

Yeah, that's basically what I said. Godzilla bombed pretty regularly through the 1970s (I can see why...c'mon, Megalon!?), resulting in Terror of Mechagodzilla being the original "last Godzilla film ever" in 1975. Then they made Godzilla 1985 (known as "Gojira" in Japan and actually coming out in 1984) to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary. Then things began to dwindle again through the nineties (I think the only really big winner prior to 1995 was the remake of Godzilla vs. Mothra), before they decided once again that "this is the last Godzilla film ever" with Godzilla vs. Destroyer in 1995 (why in the hell did Toho make them call it "Destoroyah" for the local release?). This also (I think) had to do with some contract issue with the American Godzilla (something about no competition from Japan while a trilogy is made). And after Develin & Emmerich screwed up royally with their "Godzilla" in 1998 (would've actually been a more convincing Beast From 20,000 Fathoms remake, sans the asexual reproduction garbage which just sucked no matter what), Toho was pressured into doing more real Godzilla movies. These were pretty hit or miss (I think they did better later into the run with GMK and the two Mechagodzilla movies, but I'm not sure), and once again the whole "last movie ever" line came up for Final Wars.
I suspect the next Godzilla movie will come out around 2014. Of course, given how there's never been a gap in production to last longer than ten years (longest was nine, 1975 to 1984), that may be overestimating a bit.

Toho never said anything about the '95 Godzilla Movie being the last one ever. They said that they were just planning on taking a break. And that's what they said about this movie.
There's no such thing as "The last Godzilla movie ever"

This surprised me. So far Howl's Moving Castle has earned less than Spirited Away at the same time (in Yen).
Wonder if they're expecting some holiday surge in sales, or if they're abusing the lower US dollar to say that Howl will earn more US dollars than Spirited Away...
Or are they referring to International Box Office sales...

At its regular meeting on July 15, the Board of Public Utilities voted unanimously to approve and forward to the County Council for their approval the following five agreements related to the San Juan Generating Station (SJGS):
1. The San Juan Project Restructuring Agreement
2. The Amended and Restated Mine Reclamation and Trust Funds Agreement
3. The San Juan Decommissioning and Trust Funds Agreement
4. The Restructuring Amendment Amending and Restating the Amended and Restated San Juan Project Participation Agreement
5. The Exit Amendment Amending and Restating Amended and Restated San Juan Project Participation Agreement
The county council will be reviewing these documents for possible approval at its regular meeting on Tuesday.
The documents are agreements among the nine entities which currently participate in the SJGS and concern many issues. In particular, the agreements provide conditions for exiting from the plant in 2022, or how a decision for remaining in the plant post-2022 would be handled. Other topics include federal and state regulatory requirements, fuel supply sources, site and mine reclamation arrangements.
With respect to the San Juan Coal Fired Power Generating Station Vote in the County Council on Tuesday:
1) We are told that we can't get out from our ownership of San Juan until 2022.
2) We are told it is smart to maintain our ownership to recover our $6 million bond outlay for the NOx abatement equipment to be installed.
3) We are told we will have to pay our share of the expected forthcoming lawsuits whether in or out of the picture.
Here is some background on all of these issues. Flexibility exists if we choose to take it. Going blindly ahead, we could be committing to much larger costs and here's why:
First, the removal of our ownership of San Juan was on the table. Here is how several California cities utilities did it. It is revealed in the document Entitled "City of Colton Electric Utility Department 2013 Integrated Resource Plan," which can be found at ci.colton.ca.us/DocumentCenterView/1830:
Here is a quote on page 17:
"The California owners of Unit 4 (Anaheim and Modesto Irrigation District, Santa Clara and Redding or MSR) are trading their ownership in Unit 4 for capacity in Unit 3 so that when Unit 3 is decommissioned in 2017, they will have no remaining capacity in the project."
Los Alamos' Susan Krohn and Inez Ross recently competed in the National Senior Olympic Games in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Krohn competed in three swimming events: the 50-meter freestyle, 50 backstroke and 100 backstroke.
Ross, meanwhile, competed in the 5K road raoce and won a silver medal in 51 minutes and 51 seconds.
The national meet is held once every two years.
After playing for the New York Knicks and the Memphis Grizzlies in two NBA summer leagues, Alex Kirk found a new team to play a few games with.
Kirk, and his new team, the Armored Athlete, has been competing in The Basketball Tournament — a winner-take-all, single elimination, $1-million tournament.
The tournament began with 96 teams.
The Armored Athlete was one of four teams to advance out of Chicago's Midwest regional to the Super-17.
As of Saturday, the Armored Athlete was among the final eight teams in the running for the million-dollar payday.
The Armored Athlete beat the Illinois Hoopville Warriors, 96-91, to reach the final eight. Kirk had eight rebounds and seven points in that game.
Kirk's teammates include James Thomas, Jordan Hulls, Christian Watford, Mark Lyons, David Dudzinski, Lloyd Johnson, Malcolm Miller, AJ Majar, Jared Callanan and Will Sheehey.
After a first-round bye, the Armored Athlete beat the Chicago Elite, 98-86.
The Armored Athlete then took down Reach 1 Teach 1, 91-73.
Armored Athlete was scheduled to play the Ants Alumni Saturday night.
The Ants beat the tournament's inaugural champion, Notre Dame's Fighting Alumni, 89-84, in the round of eight.
Los Alamos County's junior All-Star softball team took down the Colorado state champs, 19-7, in the opening round of the Southwest Regional championships Saturday in Santa Fe.
"Everyone was playing solid," Los Alamos manager Robbie Harris said. "We had really good defense and excellent bats."
With a 17-9 lead in the fifth inning, Los Alamos' Lauren Harris smashed a two-run home run to end the contest with the 10-run mercy rule.
Harris also hit a home run in the second inning and finished the game with six RBI.
Los Alamos started strong and scored 16 runs in the first three innings to pull away.
Jayde Tucker gave Los Alamos the early momentum. In the bottom of the first, Tucker hit a single, stole third base and then stole home to put Los Alamos up 1-0.
In the second inning, Los Alamos extended its lead to 10-1. Tucker hit a two-RBI single, Harris hit a three-run homer and Reyna Lucero smacked a two-RBI double.
Colorado then had a big inning, but Los Alamos matched Colorado's big inning with a six-run third, scoring on walks by Jordan Jaramillo and Lucero.
Lucero also started the game on the mound for Los Alamos and pitched the first couple of innings.
Russ Gordon hopes Los Alamos music fans will get "satisfied" at tonight's summer concert.
Satisfaction, a Rolling Stones tribute band, will appear at Ashley Pond at 7 p.m. All Gordon's Summer Concerts are free.
Satisfaction dubs itself as "The International Rolling Stones Show." This is the 15th year the group has been together and its website boasts 2,500 live performances during that time.
The group became the first Rolling Stones show to debut on the Las Vegas Strip in 2005 and was given positive reviews for its performance.
In 2010, according to the group's website, it was approved by the Rolling Stones to perform long term engagements with the Walt Disney Corporation.
Chris LeGrand performs as the Stones' legendary frontman, Mick Jagger. LeGrand started Satisfaction in 2001.
LeGrand helped roll out "Gimme Abbey," a multimedia stage production with Satisfaction and a Beatles tribute band that debuted in 2014.
The Summer Concert Series has brought in some different tribute bands in the past few seasons, including The Police Experience and last year's Yellow Dubmarine, a Beatles reggae tribute.
Next week is Los Alamos Monitor night. Big Sam's Funky Town is scheduled to perform.
A sex offender who lived in Los Alamos was recently arrested in Seattle and charged with soliciting sex with a minor.
Los Alamos sheriff Marco Lucero said he'd recently been in contact with Seattle officials about Nolan Cyre.
Lucero, who keeps tabs on registered sex offenders in Los Alamos County, said Cyre was "briefly" registered in the county last year.
Lucero said he'd had several communications with Cyre during his short stay in Los Alamos before he chose to move to Washington state.
Cyre, according to a story in the Seattle Times, was arrested earlier this month while allegedly attempting to pay an underage girl $100 for sex. According to the story, Cyre was allegedly attempting to meet the girl at a Seattle fast-food restaurant when he was arrested.
Cyre was originally convicted of a sex offense in North Carolina in 2010.
Lucero said there are currently eight registered sex offenders in Los Alamos County.
Opera on the Rocks at Bandelier National Monument's Juniper Campground outdoor amphitheater is an annual event now in its fourth year.
This year the performance will take place on the evening of Sept. 26.
Opera Alta will present "Bastien and Bastienne" and selections from Mozart's "Magic Flute." "Bastien and Bastienne" was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart when he was 12. It is the story of the travails of a shepherdess and her sweetheart, helped along by a would-be magician.
The selections from Mozart's famous "Magic Flute" will include "The 3 Spirits and Papageno" and arias from Tamino and Pamina. All will be sung in English.
The event is an opportunity for those not familiar with opera, as well as opera enthusiasts, see the opera in a unique venue.
Beginning at 4 p.m. participants can pick up the Atomic City Transit shuttles from either Sullivan Field in Los Alamos or the White Rock Visitor Center.
Parking will not be available at Bandelier for the event.
Respected drummer Arnold Herrera from Cochiti Pueblo will be the first performer of the evening, starting at 4 p.m. A sing-along prior to the main event and the two main performances will be coordinated by local opera singer Alicia Solomon.
An investigation into a May 15 house fire by the Los Alamos Fire Department has proved inconclusive, said a spokesperson for the LAFD. LAFD Dep. Chief Justin Grider said the department's conclusion is official.
"The rule and cause determination has been ruled undetermined by the fire department," said Grider. However, he said the homeowner's insurance company is still investigating.
Part of the investigation he said includes investigators testing objects within the area of origin.
According to private insurance investigator Matt Williams, the fire started in an area that included a kitchen countertop.
The fire occurred in the Tsikimu neighborhood on North Mesa sometime in the morning.
According to police reports, Cpl. James Keane was patrolling the area when he spotted smoke coming from the house. Keane found two residents who had breached a raised glass door and were trying to get to a 57-year-old resident of the home who was still inside the burning building.
Keane then went inside the burning house and brought the man out safely.
The man was successfully treated at the local hospital for his injuries.
Also rescued from the house were three dogs.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
25 Feb 2010 13:03 GMT
"We want the process of engagement to continue.
"It's an open agenda and nothing is excluded. Pakistan's credentials in counter-terrorism are second to none and the international community appreciates Pakistan's efforts."
But Indian officials have said they want the talks to focus on complaints that Pakistan has not done enough to fight armed groups who have carried out attacks in India.
"Our core concern is going to be terror," SM Krishna, India's foreign minister, told the NDTV news channel last week.
Talks opposedAl Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, said there are political groups in both Pakistan and India that oppose the talks.
"Already opposition groups within Pakistan have said there is no use to the talks because the Indians have not been flexible and have already said that they are not willing to talk on a few issues," he said.
"There is a realisation here that there is a lot to talk about and a great distance to cover to remove the distrust.
"There has to be a great effort on the part of both these countries if they are serious about trying to hammer out their differences."
The two nuclear-armed nations have had a rocky history, having fought three wars since winning independence from British colonial rule in 1947.
The last round of peace talks were suspended in November 2008 after armed men launched an attack in the heart of Mumbai, India's sprawling financial capital, killing 166 people, and wounding more than 300 others.
New Delhi blamed the assault on a Pakistan-based armed group, and accused Islamabad of failing to curb anti-Indian outfits.
Relations have since thawed following a Pakistani crackdown on those suspected of having links to Lashkar-e-Taiba, the banned group accused of orchestrating the attacks.
Kashmir dispute
The divided region of Kashmir has been another recurring sore spot for the two countries.
Both sides claim the predominantly Muslim region in its entirety and have fought two wars over it in the past.
On the eve of renewed dialogue, the issue has again flared up, with Indian border guards in Kashmir saying they have been fired atfrom the Pakistani side.
The Indian army also said three soldiers were killed in a major battle with fighters in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Sajjad Haider, the editor of the daily Kashmir Observer newspaper, said expectations for the talks are "muted" within Kashmir.
"Expectations in the past were high, but this time very few are the people with high expectations," he told Al Jazeera.
"[The people of Kashmir] are not represented at all.
"These are talks between two countries. Leaders from the main separatist lines in Delhi have already met the Pakistani foreign secretary and conveyed their concerns for the exclusion of Kashmiris from fresh talks."
India accuses Pakistan of allowing fighters to cross its border, a charge Islamabad denies. Pakistan has, however, called for the disputed region to be the focus of Thursday's talks.
New Delhi says it wants to focus on counterterrorism - a desire made more urgent by a bomb blast at a restaurant in the Indian city of Pune just over a week ago, which killed 16 people.

Government hopes amnesty package will woo back fighters stranded in Pakistan.

Recent Sea Ranch reviews
"We had two families that stayed in this gorgeous home. Our only problem was that we were there too short of a time (just three nights)! The home has wonderful character and the views from each room just swept us away! Also, even though there were seven of us there was lots of space for together time and plenty of break out space for privacy as well. We had a pianist in the group so it was incredible being able to listen to some beautiful music while taking in some of the loveliest coastline in all of California. We also really enjoyed being able to barbecue on the huge deck. Unlike many rental homes we have stayed in before (including others at Sea Ranch) this is very obviously a family home that has been loved and well-taken care of. Everything about our stay was just perfect. John was great with communication (terrific suggestions on restaurants and other things to do!) and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we felt cared for. One of John's tips that I have to pass on was his suggestion to take in a performance at the Gualala Arts Center: a multi-million-dollar cultural facility and an amazing addition to the charming town of Gualala. They have some really interesting art exhibitions and some performing arts events as well. We can't wait to come back to Vista Del Mar!"Guest: Art Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: May 15, 2015View listing
"The magic of this oceanfront home is captured in a slight turn of the house on the property. Great views abound from the master suite, the living room, dining room or kitchen. Take your choice of whitewater vistas with Black Point Beach straight ahead, or turn your eyes to right and scan the ocean for whales. From morning coffee to evening cocktails it is difficult to leave the patio, but the bluff trail on the edge of the property leads to the beach or lodge, or go to the right for the seal sanctuary. A big friendly yard and wildlife visitors add to the delight."Guest: Sea Ranch fans Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 18, 2015View listing
"This place was a perfect vacation home for my family of four. We were very excited to see that the place was fully stocked with plates, utensils, pots and pans and any sort of kitchen gadget you may need! We were also given parking passes and badges for access to the community pool! These also allowed us to access all the private trails within Sea Ranch which was great. Linda and her husband were also very responsive to all of our questions and were easily accessible by phone. Would definitely recommend this place!"Guest: Grace T.

"The Avalon House is definitely a cut above rental houses. It felt like the owners house with a VERY well equipped kitchen, nice towels and linens, books, games etc. The layout of the house was great for communal cooking, eating and talking, TV, and at the same time the bedrooms felt very private, especially the cottage. All in all, it was a fantastic stay and we will return."Guest: hiker Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 29, 2015View listing

Damon Gameau of "That Sugar Film" Blows the Lid on Processed Foods
in Health
If you eat processed foods out of boxes, cans, jars, and packages, you must watch That Sugar Film, an amusing, new shockumentary (shocking documentary), which reveals how eating allegedly "healthy foods" can, in fact, demolish your health.
Australian Director/actor Damon Gameau -- who is today's special Gab with the Gurus guest -- will blow you away when you discover what happened to his poor body in a mere 60 days, when he consumes only so-called "healthy foods."
That Sugar Film -- which opens today in 11 United States cities -- features Gameau, who courageously treats himself like a human guinea pig while she poisons himself with six weeks of consuming some 40 teaspoons of sugar a day from processed foods.
On this Gab with the Gurus Show, discover:
How Damon gained some 20 pounds in only 6 weeks of eating allegedly healthy foods.
How Damon got addicted to sugar even without eating any sweets!
What most shocked Gameau about his hidden sugars-eating odyssey.
How eating only Sneaky Hidden Sugars made wider, manic, confused, fuzzy-headed, aloof and lethargic.
How supermarkets are full of processed foods full of Sneaky Hidden Sugars.
How he cleaned up his diet after his life-threatening sugar odyssey.
What most people, who eat processed foods need to know.
Spread the word about this important Gab with the Gurus Show to your friends and family members.

Get here around 11am or 2pm during the week to avoid the nonsense.
I was going to go to OB/House for a late breakfast so I decided to check their menu. I was astounded that their regular breakfast: 2 eggs, roasted potatoes, sausage or bacon and toast is now $14! This is what you get for $6.95 at most breakfast places. When they first opened that dish was $9 here.
Ely has abandoned dinner. A breakfast place downtown should do well late night, but not at $14 for eggs. Ely's prices are now too high to recommend for breakfast. What's interesting is that his lunch prices aren't too bad.
I stopped by at 11:30 on a Friday and the lot was pretty full. I thought if I got there before 12 it would be no problem, but I guess people are already in brunch mode on Friday. There were 4 empty tables outside, 2 couples waiting, and they said it was a 20 minute wait. I left.
I'd been to the OB House a few times, but never for lunch. When they first opened, they only had a couple of lunch choices; but now they've expanded the menu so I figured I'd try something.jump-->
If you don't know about the O/B House; the place is all about the quirky owner, Rodney Ely. There are all sorts of rules at Ely run restaurants, and he's very meticulous about how he does things. Everything is exactly the same every time. They won't seat you until your entire party arrives. And if you dare to complain about anything; well you do so at your own risk.
There were a couple of people sitting outside, but just 2 people in the dining room, Ely and one of the servers grabbing a bite. Luckily he doesn't know what I look like. They sat me at the same table I've sat at every time I've been here. I ordered an iced tea and looked for new stuff on the menu.
The place reminds me of a small New England breakfast place in Newport, RI; nothing has changed since day 1 in the place.
O/B House Interior
O/B House Iced Tea
I reminded him and he brought out some slices. ugh, the lemon slice instead of a wedge.
O/B House Lemon slice
I'll re-itereate to restaurant owners; lemon is not a garnish for iced tea. You actually want to sqeeze the juice into the tea. And you can't squeeze a slice of lemon.
I ordered the Seafood Stew. Music here is superb and they have a good sound system. Tom Petty, The Foundations, Bob Marley and Van Morrison. Good stuff.
The stew took about 10 minutes.
O/B House Seafood Stew
I guess I expected this to be different. Stews have gravy; this is more of a soup. Nevertheless, it looked good. I had no use for the lime; the dish was well seasoned, I didn't even think of reaching for the salt. There was a very slight spiciness to it; it tasted a lot like a good thyme flavored clam chowder.
The "stew" is served with bread; Rodney's bread is thick cut and heavily buttered. I'm not really eating bread, but I did taste it and it's good bread.
O/B House Bread
Not once did Ely look in my direction or acknowledge me; don't expect the owner to come over and ask how everything is. It's just not that kind of place.
O-B House, which is some sort of odd shorthand for Old Fort Lauderdale Breakfast House, opened just under a year ago. I tried it a few times when it first opened, and I thought it was a nice little place with quality food and fairly high prices. It was about time for a re-visit.
They have a section of a big parking lot that's also used for parking for the museum and iMAX; just pull into the section closest to the restaurant. There's an attendant who is just there to make sure you go into the restaurant. There's no charge for parking.
Inside, it's a pretty nice place. It has a New England feel; It reminds me of a place in Newport, RI.
The tables are close together and you'll feel like you're dining with the people next to you; the big flowers in oversized vases take up more table space than they should ; the tables here are tight for 2.
They have a good sound system and the music is pretty good: Jack Johnson, Blind Melon and Eric Hutchinson. The kitchen is open, and the place is well-staffed on a Saturday. Different servers will come by and during your meal.
When they first opened, the small coffee was $2.50 and it was $.75 for a refill. Now, its $3 and you get refills. One thing about the owner Rodney Ely is that he's set in his ways. Water still comes with unwanted lemon. There's no swaying him on this.
On my first visit here I ordered the O-B House breakfast, 2 over-easy with sausage and yukon gold potatoes. For toast your choices are multigrain or white; I opted for the multigrain.
O-B House Breakfast with Sausage, Yukon Golds and Multigrain Bread
They have good sausage here. This was $9 a year ago; now it's $10. I had an omelet my next time, and for $12 I didn't think that it was big enough to justify the price. Frankly their omelets are stingy and not enough food for me. I thought about eggs benedict but they don't have it here; their O-B House Hollandaise doesn't have any meat and I can't see paying $12 for spinach. So I thought I'd try the Mexican Shipwreck, which comes with black beans, guacamole, salsa, and sour creme. The food came out pretty quickly.
O-B House Mexican Shipwreck
The menu doesn't say that it comes with cheese, but it does. This is kind of a strange dish; the black beans are inside 2 soft tortillas, with the eggs and the cheese over it.
O-B House Mexican Shipwreck cut open
I can't say that this recipe excited me much. The tortillas and beans didn't taste like much, and I think it would be much better with Pepper Jack cheese instead of the plain jack. I like their version of guacamole, which has chunks of red onion. It was enough food; I was pretty full when I was finished.
If you go to their web site and go to the OB-House & Owner section, there's a fairly rude About writeup that's also on the front of the menus. He tries to explain his rigidity in preparation; there aren't a lot of options at the OB-House; bacon is served well-done ONLY. Frankly, I find the pricing explanation a bit insulting, as if I've never been to the supermarket and I don't know that even the best, organic eggs are only 35 cents a piece, and how much butter do they really use to make an omelet? Even if you're paying $12/lb for coffee, it's still only 30 cents a cup. The truth is that a totally organic, free range breakfast might cost $1 more than what everyone else uses; but they charge about $4 more here for the food. So it really doesn't fly.
Places are entitled to charge what they want without having to explain it. They take care in the preparation and the place is nicer than your typical diner. Just think of OB-House as a place where you can get brunch 7 days a week. Most places offer some fancier recipes for an extra couple of dollars at brunch; OB-house just does it every day.

Day 3: First flat tire!
Third day on the road, went from Rhinebeck to Waterford, NY. That's about 110km. It was quite a long day. Sores are starting to appear... you know where. The ride was very nice along the Hudson river. Went through Albany, capital of New York, which seemed like a very cool city. Then cycled to Waterford to the "campsite", and just a few meters before we got the place, my tire went flat. First flat tire of the trip, and I know, not the ...

Creating work dominated by occult imagery, nomadic themes and heavy linework, London-based illustrator Tom Gilmour says he finds inspiration in "black tattoo art and early 80's skateboard graphics" to achieve a powerful aesthetic akin to something of a morbid blend of Gus Wagner and Jim Phillips. Gilmour draws each piece by hand in ink with splashes of watercolor and digital renderings to achieve certain shading effects.

One way for you to choose a tattoo design that you certainly want you tattoo artist to print on your body is by making trips to several tattoo parlors to browse and compared designs. However, this method is time consuming and is quite inconvenient for your part.

HOUSTON -- Andy Pettitte says he moved from Houston back to
New York because the Yankees put on a "full-court press" and the
Astros showed signs they were ready to move on without him.
Pettitte and the Yankees reached a preliminary agreement Friday
on a $16 million, one-year contract, a deal that reunites the
two-time All-Star with the team he helped win four World Series
The deal includes a $16 million player option for 2008 that
Pettitte's agent, Randy Hendricks, said Pettitte would not exercise
if he were hurt and unable to play.
Many fans in Houston had hoped Pettitte would extend his
three-year stay with his hometown club. Pettitte and Hendricks said
they offered to play for the Astros for $14 million, but that the
Astros would offer no more than $12 million and balked at the
second-year option.
Pettitte said Saturday he was surprised the Astros wouldn't
bridge the gap between the two proposals.
"It shocked me that [the Astros] would not continue to go up,
when the Yankees continued to push and push and pursue and they
[the Astros] really didn't do much," he said. "It was a
full-court press by the Yankees. I've talked to the guys, and
obviously they wanted me to come back up there."
Houston was on the verge of obtaining pitcher Jon Garland from
the Chicago White Sox earlier this week for outfielder Willy
Taveras, pitchers Taylor Buchholz and Jason Hirsh, a move Pettitte
said made it clear the Astros had written him off.
"You've got to figure that was a pretty good sign that they
were going to move on," Pettitte said in a news conference at the
Battleground Country Club.
Pettitte's defection to the Yankees intensified speculation that
close friend, former Yankees and Astros teammate Roger Clemens,
would join him in back in New York. But Pettitte said he had not
talked with Clemens about his decision.
"I haven't talked with Roger one time during these
negotiations," Pettitte said. "I don't know what Roger's going to
do. I worry about what Andy Pettitte has to do, and then go from
there. ... What he does is his decision."

For example, I want to make my own flag, and I want it to be 3-D, and possibly include a monkey banging some cymbals together.
I also want a rollover forum signature that either says "thanks for reading, dawg," or "put down the cupcake, fatty," based on whether or not I've graded the member doing the reading as positive or negative (I also want that grading system implemented).
And then there's customized victory messages for live chess; I'd like a miniature parade of field mice, all dressed in band uniforms and carrying sparkly silver balloons to march across the board whenever I win, and possibly beat up the opposing king just for emphasis (each member can have their own parade, obviously whoever wins initiates).
And finally, I'd like to be alerted to any ongoing games, live or correspondence, whenever anyone plays an opening I've decided to study. I'd particularly like a flashing red bulb whenever someone plays 2. Ke2.
Come on chess.com, it's just a few lines of code!
Who am I parodying?
No, you're right, I just wondered how you caught on so quickly?
Not strictly true; I don't have nearly enough time to keep up with your output. It's hard enough to slack off at work as much as I already do.
(anyway this "why can't chess.com do this or that" is not solely confined to you, and frankly people complain far too much about the most inconsequentail things in these forums)
So you make threads that you know have no practical purpose? Okay, well, let me have my fun, then. I liked the parade idea.
I will get angry if I don't get my parade.
I'd like to be alerted to any ongoing games, live or correspondence, whenever anyone plays an opening I've decided to study. I'd particularly like a flashing red bulb whenever someone plays 2. Ke2.
Heartily seconded
Oh come now, the mice were funny.
You had me at Blue Oyster Cult.
