Tiki was on Letterman last night. Letterman asked Tiki, "you know what the problem is with Eli Manning?"
"What?" Tiki says hesitantly, and then cringes awaiting the answer.
Letterman says, "He's only 14 years old..."
Holly Robinson Peete was on Martha yesterday talking about the Superbowl and Martha was all, "oh yeah I think I'll go to the Superbowl...*I* have friends in Seattle and it is so nice there this time of year."
Martha blathered on (and on) about the rain in Seattle, etc... until Peete leveled her with, "uuuhhhh, but the Superbowl is being played in Detroit ya dumb ass."
Priceless.
But that's not why I came to post originally(...although I am getting excited for, as Martha calls it, Superbowl Day!)

hahaha...the crazy ones do play defence, he's absolutely right.
I'll do my picks once I've seen some more of the movies. The good news is that "Good Night and Good Times" has six nominations, so it's very likely going to be re-released. And I really need to see "Cinderella Man" now...you didn't tell me Miles from "Sideways" was in it!
I know how you hate free markets and capitalism, but the futures market at Intrade has Bareback Mounting 60% to win best picture, which means it's a virtual lock.
I watch Tiki on the FOX News morning show (primetime for me). He's actually a voice of sanity at times against the tin foil hat rantings of the other hosts. That said he does come out with some pretty hardcore statements at times. The best part is that they often feature his wife watching in the green room and she is a stone cold fox('natch).
Steelers by 10, take that to the bank.

I haven't seen a single one of those movies. Oh my.
The Dude,
Make sure to wear your waterproof mascara and take your tissues when you watch Cinderella Man. And don't drink Merlot.
The Duke,
I shall indeed take that to the bank. Although on Sunday you'll find me cheering for Seattle. Without their 12th man and the fact that Bettis is from Detroit, not to mention proximity, I think The Steelers have a bit of that home field advantage.
The Half-pipe,
We'll be going to see some of those movies in the next little while so I'll see if I can drag you along. I want to go see Syriana and Good Night and Good Times. Apparently I'll be spending my Ralph Bucks on movies.
Yay escapism!
I thought Syriana was good, but it's like "Crash", lot's of interconnecting stories, lot's of badness, moral lessons? I'm not sure.
There is one scene where the little boy dies which decreased my appreciation for the movie, I thought it was quite tasteless and I advise anyone who doesn't want to see that to avoid the movie. (I was watching a pirate "reviewer" copy so it may not be in the cinema version)
Duke
Steelers didn't win by 10, they won by 11. Just saying is all...
Duke
Okay I have now officially seen all the best picture nominated movies and if I were permitted to cast a ballot I would vote for Crash. Hands down.
If it were a preferential ballot, mine would look like this:
BEST PICTURE
5 - "Brokeback Mountain"
2 - "Capote"
1 - "Crash"
3 - "Good Night, and Good Luck"
4 - "Munich"
Munich was much better than I thought it would be and is very realistic and engaging except I don't understand the final sex scene juxtaposed against the violence. If you've seen it somebody please start 'splaining.
Broke Ass Mounting was about 45 minutes too long, but was a really brilliant love story but what the hype is all about I don't really know. And Jake Gyllenhaal should get the oscar for his performance. Heath Leger was too "Boomhauer" for my liking.
"Dang Broke back Mountain Dang ol' Boomhauer, man, tell you 'bout myself woowee uhuh turn ons "Fishing" man.
If you get a chance to see Good Night and Good Luck I would highly recommend it. It was well acted and really captured the tension between McCarthy and The Media in the 1950's.
