We have not forgotten. Take a moment today and remember a veteran.
I'm worn out from this Notre Dame coaching search. Every schmo coach in the nation is trying to use the search to get himself a contract extension. So naturally, the good folks at ESPN (their motto: encouraging the country to laugh at Notre Dame) come on seemingly every hour to name another guy who "allegedly" has turned down the Notre Dame head coaching job.
What a crock of shit.
If I had a dollar for every coach who claimed he had been contacted by the school--but who really hadn't been....I'd be a rich man.
But still, its much grist for the mill for people that hate the school. Very frustrating.
Time for some DVD reviews, which we haven't done in awhile. I'm going over my DVD collection....alphabetically. We're up too.....
1) The Big Lebowski--one of the alltime great, twisted, weird comedies of alltime.
Jeff Bridges is A-perfect as "The Dude". He lives in a world all its own, never really working, engaging in competitive bowling with his two friends (John Goodman & Steve Buscemi) and a collection of weirdos. Then a case of mistaken identity gets him involved a group of thugs and a millionaire. And along the way, his carpet gets ruined, his car gets stolen....he pays for a quart of milk with a check....a ferret gets thrown into his tub.....its all.....hilarious. May have more great one liners than any film I can recall over the last 10 years, and that's saying a lot. ****1/4
2) Big Trouble in Little China--ya know, Kurt Russell is one of those guys who you don't think of as being a great film star, but if you look at his body of work....the guy has made some really great movies. Escape from New York, The Thing, Breakdown, Unlawful Entry & Executive Decision. And then there was this little gem--my favorite Russell movie of alltime from 1986. Part fantasy, part adventure, part kung fu...and all fun. Russell is trucker Jack Burton, who finds himself thrown into a supernatural world underneath San Francisco's Chinatown when he tries to help a friend find his missing fiancee. Stars a pre-Sex in the City Kim Cattrall, looking smoking hot. Loads of fun and a guaranteed good fun. ***3/4

America's favorite ESPN host. UGH!
