  1. Would a Santos/Blanco platoon be so bad while waiting for Thole?
  2. having constructed this list and looked at everyone else's, I'm convinced this was a bad decade for movies compared to both the 80's and 90's. That was essentially my point all along. Hell, I did a quickie search of just '71-'74 and came up with: French Connection, Last Picture Show, Cabaret, Godfather, Deliverance, Jerimiah Johnson, American Graffiti, Mean Streets, Papillon, The Sting, Godfather Part II, Chinatown, The Conversation, ... and obviously a bunch more. I really hate to sound like one of those 'it was all better in the old days' types and I know the movie biz (and society) has changed and there are a bunch of reasons for the disparity between eras ... but Geez! Good movies all..The Reader, Slumdog, and a few other do sit well in any decade. There is quality in every decade, sometimes it may just not be as obvious. I consider The Wonder Boys one of the more underrated movies of this decade

  4. Time flies!
  5. BBR has an article on NL Rookies for 2009 and has nice things to say about Mets 2B Reese Havens..
  6. I would be very surprised if the Mets got Bay or Holliday... The Mets are being perceived as a team and situation that agents don't want to send their clients too. Mets will be fortunate to land Pineiro and hope Pelfrey can keep his E.R.A. under 5 and Ollie & Maine can be durable and effective Screw big dollars for an LF, the starting pitching is a more pressing issue
  7. Long on technology, short on character development and about everything else..ughh
  8. We can almost always use some nudity

  12. Vic Sage wrote: Cazale was a well regarded theater actor in NY when he started his film career. That's where he met Meryl Streep, doing work at Joe Papp's Public Theater. He was engaged to Streep while making DEERHUNTER. the director, Cimino, and Streep kept the fact that Cazale was sick from the studio, who would have had major insurance problems if they'd known. Not to be insensitive, but i think his sickliness added to the character. Meryl Streep used to work at an Arts & Crafts store in Morristown after school many moons ago. Sharp kid
  13. Capote Seabiscuit The Wrestler The Reader Little Miss Sunshine The Departed Wonder Boys Babel Frost/Nixon Borat Rambow Slumdog Millionaire
