I got the song that plays during the credits of Grindhouse in my head.

The theatre in Gurnee, as far as Grindhouse goes, gives you the option of seeing the entire double feature, or either of the movies. All the same price, so not sure who would turn down two movies for the prove of 1. Some people did, because about 6 or 7 people walked in during the trailers before Death Proof. I liked the Grindhouse experience. I was entertained by both movies, althought Death Proof had too much dialogue at times, but damn, Rosario Dawson makes me feel kind of funny. I noticed a lot of omages in Death Proof. The long take around the table as the girls eat a la Reservoir Dogs and the Big Kahuna Burger mention. I think if people understand was Rodruiguez and Tarantino are doing, they will enjoy it. If you are going looking for art and Oscar worthy filmmaking, you are in the wrong movie. Death Proof came off as a short movie by Tarantino. Car chases were awesome. FU MANCHU looks like a great character!

Gonna catch "Grindhouse" this afternoon. I noticed the listings for the theatre in Gurnee has Death Proof and Planet Terror separately. I'm assuming that you can see both for the price of 1 or either movie. I better not be told that I have to leave after the first one and pay again like it is rumored.

us.imdb.com: Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is planning to re-release Grindhouse as two separate films - after the double-bill flopped at the box office. The film, a double-feature directed by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez made just $11.6 million in its opening weekend in the US. Producer Weinstein is disappointed - and thinks Tarantino's Death Proof, starring Kurt Russell, and Rodriguez' Planet Terror, with Rose McGowan, will perform better on their own. He tells PageSix.com, "I don't think people understood what we were doing. The audience didn't get the idea that it is two movies for the price of one. I don't understand the math, but I want to accommodate the audience." Bad idea, IMO.

Sox Loss Postgame Thread
QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 09:03 AM) White Sox 3 blown save opportunities, directly resulting in two losses in the FIRST WEEK...at this rate, we WILL HAVE 69 BLOWN SAVES THIS SEASON. What the White Sox record SHOULD BE...5-2 (first place) Actual Record...3-4 (fourth place) That will be our season in a nutshell. Maybe the media pundits are all correct. The only flamethrowers we've ever had were Colon and Jenks for two months in the 2005 season. Other than that, the White Sox have been bereft of legit fireballers since I can remember following the team, which dates back to the mid-80's. And please don't say Roberto Hernandez or Billy Koch. How accurate! OMG! 69 Blown Saves, how poetic! I'm on the ledge!

Sox Loss Postgame Thread
QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 08:06 AM) I didn't catch the failed squeeze play, so I'm not sure what the deal there was. The ump said the ball hit Pods when he was out of the batters box, but it hit him while in so it should of been a foul ball, but the ump called Pods out.

Sox Loss Postgame Thread
QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 12:16 AM) Maybe, maybe not. But it would have been a hell of a lot closer. It looked like Bradley was limping home half way down the 3rd base line. If pods hits AJ, I believe Bradley is out. Anytime the middle of our order wants to start hitting, that would be great.

She would stalk Jordan and Pippen back in the day. She would always tell us about it. She is hot, but a nut job. BTW...Jamie Kotsay > All

I kinda of feel bad for Stern. He has lost everyone around him in the last 8 months. Has to be hard. Hopefully this saga will go away now.

Entourage
I was watching Season 3 Part 1 on DVD and the scene where Ari goes to talk to his employees and tells them they need to find Drama a job, one of the agents is Larry Birkhead, or at least a dead ringer. Just funny because of all the current events.

2007 MLB Catch-All Thread
Coming soon to a video store near you...The Sandlot 3!!! And the description is enough to make you puke. "Sucessful, arrogant baseball superstar Tommy "Santa" Santorelli travels back in time to 1976 and relives his boyhood days on the sandlot baseball team, this time choosing friendship over glory and ultimately earning both.." We'll always have the original and Wendy Peppercorn.

Blackhawks win top pick in NHL Entry draft
I'm not up on hockey payroll and such. Does a #1 pick like Esposito require a huge signing bonus and pay? If so, Wirtz goes cheap.

Yeah, Lashley is being pushed way to fast. Leave him on ECW as champ with this angle. If you want to put him on Raw, fine, but have him drop the title to RVD or Cor Von.- The Sopranos
