-The Descendants
-We Need To Talk About Kevin
-Shame
-Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy- I’ve been waiting for this one for months. The reviews have been fantastic. A sure Best Picture nominee.
-Carnage
-The Artist
-Hugo
-A Dangerous Method- Gotta get my Cronenberg fix.
Yes, I’m sure I’ll see The Muppets (based on the remarkable response), Mission Impossible, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and probably a few others, but if you’re going to solidify your chances of seeing the most Best Picture nominees, this list is probably a good place to start.
Tonight, the sports world lost a legend.
Not a legend in the conventional sense. I don’t believe any boxing historian would call Joe Frazier one of the top ten fighters ever (heavyweights, maybe). He lost too many significant fights to be in that category.
He did however participate in one of the greatest rivalries ever, and one of the most significant sporting events of the 20th century. His name will live in sports lore, for his accomplishments, for making the most of what he was given, and for fighting to the last bell. He is truly a legend.
RIP Smokin’ Joe

Happy to help :)
Thank you.
They haven’t had a really great season in the past few years (5 and 6 were pretty good), but I am definitely going to miss the boys. I grew up with Entourage. It is as ingrained in me as an Angeleno as ”Celluloid Heroes”, “Hollywood Nights”, and “I Love LA”. It definitely did run its course, but I’m going to miss this on Sunday nights.
“
Good and evil almost never express themselves as harshly and clearly as they did Tuesday morning. People we don’t know slaughtered people we do, and they did it with contemptuous calm. Yet, even as clouds of dust and smoke rose from the rubble, even as family members tortured by hope and doubt took to the streets with pictures and pleas, even as mobs celebrated in Gaza, Cairo, and Baghdad, something shook itself sluggishly to life and that something is a sense of ourselves. Kindness flourished amid the flames: a couple carried a disabled man down 68 flights of stairs, a priest crouched to give last rites as a mighty tower collapsed, and the hand of God closed above him. A man and woman, their hope gone, held each other and leaped. A solitary candle, a flag, a tear. These are the tokens of our renewal.
The United States had a spirit before it had a nameone of faith and freedom, of ambition tempered by piety. We once were a nation of neighbors and friends, we are again today. We once were a nation of hardship-tested dreamers, we are again today. We once were a nation under God, we are again today. Our enemies attacked one nation, they will encounter another. For they underestimated us. Today in our grief and in our rage, our determination and hope, we’ve summoned what’s best and noblest in us. We are again Americans.

Its just so depressing. I feel like I’m at a minor league game, but then again there’d be happier fans at a minor league game.
