    Wow. If I were Sandy Alderson I would fire Kevin Towers twice tonight. Could you imagine the Padres with Peavy, Verlander and Young coming out you? David Bush who?

    Ford is behind Cain, but not far...He's a good prospect...He's the player that TGJ wants to be... I can't see that. The only thing that really seperates the two in their Low A numbers are Ford's and Gwynn's better BB/K ratio. And Gwynn has even shown improvement beyond that. Now if you had said Steve Moss . . . .

    I could probably make a list of just documentaries, but Capturing the Friedmans and Grizzly Man would definately make the list I think the only documentary I overlooked was Spellbound, which was so good that it spawned a slew of crappy semi-indie knockoffs like Akeela and the Bee, (now showing at your local Starbucks). The truth (here, actually presented as such) is always much better than focus grouped fiction, or as in the case of most current documentaries, outright propaganda. Subtle propaganda I can handle. Certainly not Grizzly Man. I lived that film in my youth, we called it Another Dumb Tourist Got Eaten by a Bear. Then again I have never been a Herzog fan. Dot.com would certainly go on my 10 Worst list. Celebrating stupidity is not my cup of tea.

    Mulholland Drive That film is one of my all time favorite "brilliant failures". I absolutly love what he tried to do, love the way he did it, but it's just to dense to figure out even without any sort of key. I have heard of philosophy courses trying to solve it and there is a whole website devoted to figuring it out. And like the last 15 minutes of 2001, without having the mind that came up with it, it's impossible to figure out. I have a similar problem with Primer, but there it's like the filmakers need to feel smarter than you, so they hold back information and coyly answer questions, "maybe". Obviously with my love of Rashomon and Picnic at Hanging Rock, "puzzle films" don't inherently bother me, but at the same time insoluble ones . . . . And I LIKED the film . . . . . .

    you seen Little Miss Sunshine yet? I haven't, mainly because I have seen WAY too much of that little girl recently, including watching her shake her pre-teen "humps" with Fergie on the VMA's. That and I have a low tolerance for Greg Kinnear. also, Shaun should be #1 Both it and 28 Days Later are films IMO that need the key of Dawn of the Dead to unlock their true brilliance (and in 28 Days case, Night of the Comet and Day of the Triffids as well.) It's very odd that those two very different films are much better homages than the "official" remake of Dawn of the Dead, which is mainly only notable for being funny in The 40 Year Old Virgin as a backdrop. And except for the unnecessary pool **** scene, Y Tu Mama Tambien is good too. That scene did have a point. The two guys represent the two sides of native Mexicans and that scene showed that as a country they really needed to grow up and quit wasting their "seed", and the rest of the movie is their journey to do just that. I wish I got the appeal of City of God. You're not the first I've heard this from. I don't know if I can help you there. but I will say for me its trancendence is really in its filmaking more than the story, which I also think is pretty top notch too, and unlike Godfather or others, is firmly rooted in actual events in an area that still suffers from the same problems to this day. But really it is one of the best directed films I have ever seen. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e246/stevenml/city-of-god-web.jpg

    In my search of all things Niko Case, I finally picked up The Corn Sisters album. I had already heard the Fist City cover, which always reminded me that I didn't like Loretta Lynn as much as everybody else, but when I heard Niko wailing out Long Black Veil I was sold. It's not often you can go toe to toe with Johnny Cash (or Marty Robbins for that matter) and come out on top, but she really wins here. The rest of the album is okay, I suggest just going to iTunes and getting Long Black Veil by itself.

    If I had to rank the Top 10 films of this decade. Wow, I actually started to think about that a little bit, and decided I need to see more movies. Here's what I came up with . . . 1. City Of God 2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 3. Y tu mamá también 4. 25th Hour 5. The Incredibles 6. Ping Pong 7. Brick 8. Nobody Knows 9. The Safety of Objects 10. 24 Hour Party People Hmmmm . . . . Edit: I just remembered, Millions, 28 Days Later and Shaun of th Dead all of which are as good as anything from 8-10 on my list.

    Wow, when the old thread got eaten by ez-board, I didn't realize how many of my posts got nuked. It's amazing that the thread got saved anyhow and that we (meaning Robert) have been keeping it going for over two years now. Crikey! I know I haven't had any usefull aditions to it for a while, but I'll try to add stuff here and there. I will say that at the rental shop last week, I see that Criteron has released a disc of The Bad Sleep Well. It's one of Kurosawa's crime noir films and not as good as Stray Dog or High & Low, but it still is as good as anything else. As close to a Hamlet adaptation as it's a fairly straight forward revenge story, well as straightforward as Kurosawa gets. Rented Inside Man instead. If I had to rank the Top 10 films of this decade, 25th Hour would be on the list, so Spike Lee has a little credit going with me, but this script seemed to be just a little unfocused. The performances (especially Jodie Foster) were great, but I just never ever got involved with the plot on any level. A dissapointment for me.

    Brick Loved it. LOOOOVEEDD IT. Saw it in the theater. Twice. "Ask for a show of hands of those that have actually met the Pin and you're likely to get a lot of full pockets." Of course having watched (and read) Maltese Falcon (of which it is VERY derivative) and having read all of Chandler's work and most of Hammett's the plot is somewhat predictable, but man do they pull off the concept. EDIT: And how can you not love the Richard Roundtee appearance. Classic stuff. If I haven't mentioned it yet Robert, you need to get your hands on the Japanese film Ping Pong. Fantastic show and one of the only films to actually use CGI to it's benifit rather than detriment. I have been catchng up on all my crpped that I skipped at the theater like Hitchicker's Guide to the Galaxy and Aeon Flux. Horrible.

    Players in the Alaskan League get "paid" for "jobs" in that age old college athelete way, if you know what I mean. Housing is free with a local family. We get the West Coast players who don't get the call from the Cape.
