I didn't find a poll on this one...and was suprised. If I missed it, I apologize. I thought this movie was pretty entertaining. Typically, I'm underwhelmed by the big CGI blockbusters, but the graphics in this one were some of the best I've seen. The main monkey, Cesar, was played via performance capture effect by the same guy who does Golum in the LOTR/Hobbit movies and I thought he did an excellent job portraing both the human and animal characteristics. I wasn't even aware that John Lithhow was in this film until I began watching it, but he was excellent as always. The story was predicable, but the pace was great and there were just enough dark features to make it enjoyable for adults in addition to older kids. Of course, I'm guessing there will be sequels, but I'm not sure yet that they will be necessary. I've only seen the original PotA movie from the 60's and not the whole series...and the Wahlberg movie from the 2000's was pretty horrible, IMO. But, I was pleasantly suprised with this one after going in with low expectations.

No worries...I know you didn't mean it that way. Just thought it was funny.

I'm about 75% done with mine. Tomorrow morning sound OK?

I'm not sure we'll ever need another Cedeno.

$1.1M if I recall correctly.

The stadium changes wouldn't help Harris as much as Hairston.

Are the Marlins really getting better?

We got to Citi in 2010, so we've both experienced it. Monkier Half actually loves the ballpark. It would be hard to make a trip to New York in the summer and not sneak in a Mets game. The last few times I've gone on pleasure trips to NYC, the trips have revolved around Mets games. We'll see. We've also talked about waiting until 2013 and maybe looking into the All-Star Game. Hopefully, the Wilpons have given up the ghost by then.

I went with 2.1 million. I'm also rooting for zero. My wife says she wants to take a trip to New York this summer to, among other things, see a Mets game. I think I am going to veto the Mets game part in protest to the Wilpons. That's just me doing my little part.

The story made NPR's Morning Edition this morning. Copmplete with Dickey's quote: "It's not like it's Everest."
-
Ownership should let Dickey climb the mountain and shut their traps. And if they can't do that, handle this shit behind closed doors and not in the papers. This organization is beginning to embarass me on a daily basis...and it's only fucking DECEMBER!

Former manager questions Marlins' moves CBS quoting Edwin Rodriguez wrote: "Knowing Hanley, he's a very proud player. It's going to be very hard for him to move out of shortstop. He's a big league shortstop. He's an All-Star shortstop. In my opinion I think they are going to have a tough time trying to convince him to move to third base. Even if he does that, move to third base, beginning of the season, I think it's going to be very interesting to watch how everything develops, how Reyes takes the front pages and how the people start talking about the All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes. It will be very interesting to see how Hanley will handle all that." Rodriguez, also said he thought it was a mistake to sign Reyes instead of using that money to increase the offer to Albert Pujols.

That's probably best for me too. We'll figure it out once you get back.
