Great read and a sharp review! I would have to say, though, that Knocked Up is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and to second the vote for Walk Hard as a better choice....
"I am going to wear black for the rest of my life." Boston may have traded Manny away, but as a result, it has gained a fan with even less emotional stability. Please keep this raving madman on the W...
Amen, Kerry. Especially on that last point....
Venkatesh's article is intellectually lazy, but it does raise the good question of whether there aren't significant differences among kinds of racism. I am sure that racial "incidents" in Boston are f...
Excellent and very witty review. I agree completely. As sexy food goes, Barely Legal Seafoods has never done much for me....
What a revealing story. I knew from anecdotal evidence that Mass does a poor job of funding its college students, but I had no idea of just how bad it is. To me, what was most significant about the st...
I really enjoyed how this writer speculated on the reaction here in Boston. What a great, funny list! It's a wonderful idea, though I think the Sox would do it only because they were afraid the Yanke...
Fantastic choice of photo, as always. That flash storm yesterday was pretty scary, and the photo does a great job of capturing its ominous descent....
I don't think I've ever been to a Sonic Youth show where the band didn't go on 2 hours later than announced. I understand that festivals are on a schedule and that's difficult, but it's pretty much pa...
How they could not like Kanye, for chrissake? The guy's mom just died, so maybe the audience can wait a few minutes. A lot of boors wearing Celtics jerseys: surprise, surprise....
Ewww. I'd like to see the guys who signed up for this have their names published and the full story sent to their mothers....
Anyone remember that simply adorable footrace between Bavetta and Charles Barkley? The pictures of their make-out session afterward still make me chuckle. Oh, those were innocent days for Mr. Bavett...
Wow, that 3rd quarter had some of the worst play I've seen all series, especially toward the end. Shooting ran dry, neither team could grab a defensive rebound, missed FTs all around, 14 turnovers (in...
I wonder if there's a little ambivalence among C's fans about this comeback, some desire to see these guys back in Boston to close it out?...
To be perfectly fair, "Beat L.A." is a pretty weak idea for a shirt, too. It's been 20 years and, come on, our creative city should be able to come up with something much better than that. Those are j...
Yup! Well-heeled Charlie is now a capitalist Laughingly fleeing the commie blacklist - He don’t use the Red no more Thinks the Orange an eyesore; No plans t’expand the Greens Or let the Silver grow p...
What a heart-stopping finish, as the Lakers showed their first life of the series. What was that, a 31-9 run? People are going to be groggy tomorrow morning. Incidentally, the close finish is good fo...
Powe is the most likeable guy on a team of all-around likeable players. I am overjoyed to see him having the game of his life, and I'm sure it's the first of many. Objectively, I don't think you could...
That poor woman. That is awful news....
I love it: A yellow light isn't even a yellow light in MA! Long live our fondness for idiosyncrasy....
