Was in Chicago for the night Tuesday night and was going to see The Third Man at a small theater there. Showtime was 5pm. Who the hell can see movies at 5pm? And why JUST 5pm?

On the plus side I got a recommendation from Michael for a good cocktail place, which was nice.

Retirees, who are probably 95% of the audience.

Ha, well I am seeing my namesake next Tuesday. At the much more accommodating time of 7 pm.

I enjoyed Happy Gilmore a long time ago. I also liked Funny People after its massive failure of an ad campaign, that movie was depressing and earnest after marketers tried to promote it as a big accessible comedy. Punch Drunk Love was terrific.

Adam Sandler has made more terrible movies versus good ones then just about any current actor or director or costume stylist that I can think of. Good God.

I turned Draft Day on. Take a shot every time you hear a cliche.



Good luck.

50 First Dates was also good.

Watched "Mean Streets" off of TCM. That one scene where the low-level Mafia hoods were brawling in a pool hall while "Please Mr. Postman" plays? The Martin Scorsese formula, right from the beginning.

Yup. Along with DeNiro's entrance to Jumpin' Jack Flash.
