Movies and Sports: can't blog too much today, but it is obvious that audiences can smell an agit-prop stinker from a million miles away, in spite of (or because of??) all the Lefty critics telling them how "important" it might be. I refer to that feminist rant called North Country which opened with around 7 mil. The only audience for this kind of movie is hard core lesbians and feminists (there's a difference??). Girls won't drag their dates into the theatre for that shit unless they are trying to dump the guy. Bad weekend overall with top movie grossing only 15mil. Of course it's all the white male's fault. The Clooney Murrow epic did shit but only opened in a few theatres. I couldn't make it to the Libertas Film Fest because one of my relatives plays high school football and the kid was in the biggest game of the year and I had tickets for the UCLA Oregon State game....BTW don't be surprised if UCLA kicks the crap out of USC. They have a great offence but not much D. 63-62 might be the final. Whoopsie emailer Ron S informs me that USC has a bye week before the UCLA game, which is better for them than you might suppose. Their schedule has been brutal, they have lots of injuries, and they still have to play CAL and Washington State (has an offense that can score a lot of points on anybody). Anyway a bye week really helps them so I think a UCLA win would be an upset, but hardly a surprise. BadJocks.com has more dirt on the Vikings Slut Boat Cruise. BTW the "rookie" who supposedly set the deal up is hardly a rookie. All American at Mississippi State, was drafted by Redskins in 2001, became a free agent this summer and the Vikings grabbed him. Smoot was a backup in the pro bowl is one of the best corners in the League. Now the good stuff: this guy is deeply involved in charities and community service, sponsors a youth football team--meaning he buys all equipment and uniforms---works in the Redskins Relief Fund to aid victims of the September 11 attacks at the Pentagon, and other stuff. He may be a good guy who just did one favor too many.
