I have always wondered what Blah Blah looked liked.


You can see why I didn't recognize him. No idea how she did.


He's at his classic best (worst) during his guest spots on Len's first album. Like a tone deaf hound dog howling at the moon.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....... wot a bUUtteful day, wot a bUUtteful day...

He actually sings. :eek:

The Battered Bastards Of Baseball

Documentary on the Portland Mavericks, the only independent baseball team at the time (1973-77), in a Class A league. Excellent documentary. Must see if you are a baseball fan.

Saw this yesterday. It was a real treat to watch. I'd recommend it not just to baseball fans but any sports fan, or any Hollywood fan since it seemed at least a quarter of the team had done or ended up doing something in acting.

Doing some reading on Kurt Russell it appears he had the chance to be one heluva ballplayer. He was hitting .563 in the Texas League before tearing his rotator cuff.

OK, Velvet Goldmine is on right now. What a great movie.

I'm pretty sure it made a boatload of money, so don't get your panties in a bunch. Unless you don't think commercial success is "real".

He obviously doesn't think Twitter is "real", and as a Twitter user :o, I certainly wouldn't disagree. A "boatload" of money, though? That's probably a stretch.

Pretty sure they got a ton of profit off of the ad-time during the movie (well, relative to what they normally get). Plus, you'll have Amazon/Netflix/etc paying to get that movie, too.

Yeah but they wont be paying a lot...the movie will make money because it is cheap.

I bet they made more than people think off the product placement alone (Subway, DirecTV).

I am watching The Fellowship of the Ring extended edition right now...it just makes me madder about what a joke The Hobbit is. The first half hour of Fellowship is ten times the movie any of the Hobbits have been so far. Jackson was infected with Lucas flu :(

Put down the remote. Read the books. Problem solved.

Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansson. It is visually stunning, there is a great deal of intrigue, and the suspense bubbles just below the surface throughout. But in the end I was quite a bit unfulfilled by the story and message they hoped to deliver.

State Of Play:
Quality conspiracy movie. Leave all belief at the door, mind you, but entertaining.

We Were Soldiers:
Tough watch. Very tough watch. /FTWGA

Exactly. And I'm sure with all of the hype it got they were able to charge quite a bit more for advertising than that channel usually can.
