the director adam mckay was on colbert last night but he had a funny baseball story to tell

Also of note about McKay, he's a Philly guy who went to Temple University and also happens to be a sports fan. He told a fun little story about how he prank called the Phillies GM back in the day.

"One day we were sitting around, very high, I said I'm going to call the Philadelphia Phillies and make a trade. This is true. This is actually a true story. So I called the Phillies and I knew a little bit about baseball. The GM at the time was Bill Giles. I knew the Red Sox guy was Lou Gorman. So we're all in this room and we're high so I just pick up the phone and dial the Phillies' general number and I lower my voice because I'm 20 at the time, 'Yeah, it's Lou for Bill.' 'One second please.' And then a secretary picks up, 'Bill Giles office.' 'Yeah, it's Lou for Bill. Is he around.' Then it's like, pause, pause, pause. And then it's like, 'Hey Lou, how you doing? It's Bill.' I'm like, 'I'm good, man. We like what Randy Ready has been doing for you at second base. We got a left arm if you're interested.' It was just a long pause and he goes, 'who the hell is this?!' and I went, 'Ahhhhh!'"

My favorite theater closed today. Camelview 5 in Scottsdale. Mid-Century built, got limited releases as quickly as any theater outside of LA or NY. Allegedly they'll still get the same limited run movies but it will be at some megaplex down the street. I'll miss the wooden chairs and carpet that smelled of cigarettes.

I generally like Singer's X Men movies and probably will like this, but seriously... New York blown up? Again?
