Yippie-Ki-Yay-Ki-Yo...

Saw "Live Free and Die Hard." Strange how a movie, though streamlined for our modern sensibilities, with the asthetics of the big eighties felt so, well, spry...the movie actually felt fresh, like a fine cerviche with a twist of massive explosions. Go see it with the least of expectations and you'll leave with a renewed appreciation for the excesses of action film making.

Speaking of action films, I never wrote about the most incredibly awesome, brilliant, hilarious, etc etc etc...the movie "Hot Fuzz." Cannot wait for the release...hopefully on Criterion with a second bonus disk with a three documentaries including a thoughtful analysis by Sir David Entwistlyn on the effects of Coronets on marksmanship.

Work is work is work. Funny being a focal point of a tug-of-war, like its the Nathan's Fourth of July Chuck Recruiting contest. Two great groups, one lazy Asian with a master's, who will win?!!

The champ has a busted jaw, so Kobayashi won't be eating for the hot dog title. Sad. Just when we (U.S.A.!) have a decent shot at regaining the trophy (is it a trophy?) in young Joey Chestnut, the champ decides to pull a Michelle Wie and pulls out of the contest.

The draft...no surprises, even the trade by the Celtics, getting an old Ray Allen...bad trades and the Celtics, you don't need my word, just go read any Sports Guy column at ESPN.

Yawn, I need some caffiene...and a fast car, fast enough that I can drive away.
