The tide is turning

Last night, on my drive home from work, I happened to turn on a sports station. This is something I had gotten out of the habit of doing, since regional sports stations can be boring if you don't like any of the regional teams (I used to like one of them).

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all the hosts and most of the callers were expressing great distaste for the antics of the Arrogant One! This was like getting an early Christmas present of the most wonderful kind. Rationality is prevailing, the veil is being lifted. The truth is coming to light.

If the Lakers miss the playoffs this year, I think the masses will fully turn on their Chosen One and his failure will be complete.

Joy to the world...

The headline on the New York Times' lead sports column on Friday was something to the effect of "The Fall of Kobe." I made a note to remember it for you and then promptly forgot it.

Clay and Adam are a couple of dorks.

But I certainly had nothing to do with this monstosity. Or did I?

Some things are better left uncovered

Sometimes you hear a cover and go to yourself, "hey, that's doper than Sam Perkins at Woodstock." Other times, you wonder (possibly aloud) "that no talent hack! They couldn't even carry [inset original artist here]'s guitar case!" [Ed. note: You should have seen what the author originally wanted to use as the carried item. Believe us, it wasn't a guitar case.] Today was an example of the second. Some fool whose name I cannot even spare the mental RAM for, has covered "High and Dry" by the esteemed Radiohead. This is up there. With the worst covers of all time. Some songs just don't ever need to be covered. Like this one. And like "It's My Life" by Talk Talk. But No Doubt did a decent job with that one, although they crapped all over it with that video. This one today was bad. When you do a cover, you're supposed to bring something to it. Maybe your sound is similar to the original artist's, an

A Sad Day

From Yahoo!: Tara Reid and Christian Slater's scary movie "Alone in the Dark," [underachieved] with just $2.5 million, finishing well out of the top 10. [...]the movie stars Reid as an anthropologist and Slater as a paranormal investigator[...] It is depressing when a deserving art film, such as Alone in the Dark fails to find the audience it deserves. The movie was a labor of love for all involved, with the actors working for scale. Directed by the visionary Uwe "Germany's Scorsese" Boll, the movie tells the heart-wrenching story of gumshoe (Slater) and the woman he loves (Tara "America's Kidman" Reid) as they fight for the future of the world against all odds. The cast is rounded out by Stephen "America's Anthony Hopkins" Dorff. The movie has also missed out on the awards season, because unfortunately, it was not released in time for Oscar consideration because everyone involved wanted to get it right, no matter how lo
