I don't have a problem with the fact I'm getting old, for the most part. Frankly, I've felt old and out of touch for years now, watching old movies, listening to old music. That's been a huge part of my life for most of life, really. I remember an old homeless guy asked me for some change at the end of a freeway exit, and as he came close to my window to receive my gift of spare change, he heard my music, which I believe was Robert Johnson. When he realized what he heard, he said to me, "Man, you got an old soul!" To be honest, I loved hearing that, and I considered it a compliment. Still do.
Being out of touch with the modern world never really mattered to me, because, for the most part, modern music, movies and style are pretty ridiculous to me. Be that as it may, I don't have the time nor the inclination to make myself look like I was born in the 30's. I dress (somewhat) modern. At least, that's what I thought.
The other night, I was working the door at The Fake Gallery. Next door, at The Ukrainian Cultural Center, there was a party. Odd, because I've never seen anything that ever had anything to do with Ukrainians or their culture at this spot. My people (the Mexicans) tend to be the only folks that rent out that joint for Quinceaneras. But this evening was different. It was a 15th anniversary party for Vice Magazine. I know very little of this publication, but it doesn't matter, since this piece has nothing to do with the magazine per se.
All night, there were people lined up around the corner to get into this party. All of them kids born in the 80's, when I was in high school. This, I'm kinda used to, really. I know I shouldn't be where I am most of the time, feeling like the creepy old dude in the corner eyeing the young'ens, but a lot of comics are young, and I end up hanging out with a lot of them (well, the ones that aren't assholes). I saw a comic I knew early in the evening, before things got really crowded on Melrose and Heliotrope, and as he explained to me about this party, he also explained that the "theme" of the party was a 90's theme. That is, to dress like it was 1994. He stretched out his arms in a way that said, "See?" Frankly, he didn't look that different to me. "You're pants are still a little tight for the 90's, dude," I told him.
As the evening wore on, and I tried to keep these loud mouthed twentysomethings away from our door, I realized that all these kids looked like they were dressed in some sort of costume, with their band shirts from the 90's, flannels, and other 90's staples. And yet, they looked all wrong. As if they were making fun of it the way people my age would make fun of the 70's. Then, I looked down at my own clothes: Vans, exceedingly baggy Dickies, shirt a little too billowy, a skateboard hat, and of course, flannel.
Holy shit! I'M dressed for this party, and I wasn't even invited! I could walk into this party, and probably get complimented on the accuracy of my "outfit." Unfortunately, this wasn't an "outfit," this is the way I dress. Everyday. And these kids were, effectively, making fun of it! When the fuck did I become Ralph Furley?
Fucking kids. What do they know? I can't wait til they're my age and they have to watch twentysomethings make fun of the way THEY dressed. And, let's face it, there's WAY more to make fun of, what with your stupid hair cuts, and retarded facial hair, and ball squashing girl pants, and t-shirts so worn out and tight that they might rip when it gets cold and your nipples get hard.
Get off my lawn!!
When I go to the gym, it is very important to me to listen to my own music because, by and large, I hate almost all modern music. So, I pick out a good playlist, and try not to pass out. Unfortunately, when I'm on some of the machines, I cannot get the plasma screens out of my line of sight. So, I have to suffer through some terrible videos on "B TV." That's Bally TV, I guess, and sometimes, in between The Jesus Lizard or Bruce Springsteen songs, I can actually hear these aural abortions.
Here are a few of the thoughts that drive through my head like a Ferrari.
* Madonna, seriously, you suck now more than ever. You offer nothing to music artistically, if you ever did. And anyone who brings up your "business savvy" as a testament to your supposed greatness needs to have their eardrums blown out by an excessively loud Melvins show. Music already has too many business people destroying it from within. Marketing is not music.
* Beyonce, shut the fuck up. If a woman wants to remain single, that's her fucking prerogative (as that other shit stain, Bobby Brown would say). Quit cajoling women into putting "a ring on it." And if I were you, I'd beat the shit out the choreographer you hired for that stupid ass video. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy looking at your ass (and that's all I enjoy about you) but that metal, gothic-industrial glove you put on and kept flashing at the camera makes you look way more retarded than even I thought you were.
* Honestly video "directors," haven't we had enough footage of the bad-ass black woman who aint gonna take her man's shit anymore walking up and down a runway with all kinds of attitude? When En Vogue did it, okay fine, I'll admit it was new and cool. Now, you're just copying what someone else did years ago. You guys suck, but then, I guess you'll always suck. You can't teach creativity.
* Creed, aside from being fucking terrible, you're not "hardcore." You're pansies. I don't care how many sit ups you did to make your stomach look ripped, and no amount of head banging from your bass player is gonna convince anyone but your stupid fans that you guys are hardcore. Blink 182 makes you guys look like pussies. Think about THAT! A shitty, no talent punk wannabe band makes YOU look like pussies. Hint: metal and religion DON'T mix. Unless of course, it's Satanism.
* Seriously, Madonna. Kill yourself. You killed modern music, and I think you should repay the debt.
If I offended your taste in music, too bad, you have horrible taste in music, and you should be offended as often as possible. Music is more than just pretty sounds.
Changing the channels, I paused for a moment on the World Series. The commentators were talking about the new game. This is the scintillating, brilliant discussion on strategy I heard:
Jock A: "How do the Phillies get back into the series?"
Jock B: "Well, the Phillies have to get some runs."
Really, Jock B? The Phillies have to get some runs to win the game? Are you fucking sure? There isn't some other brilliant way you've discovered how to win a baseball game? Just score some runs (preferably more than the opposing team)? This is one of the many reasons I find it difficult to watch most sports. The commentators (especially here in the good ol' U.S of A) are pretty fucking stupid.
Look, I don't deny that baseball doesn't require a certain amount of skill and strategy, but if you're going to hire commentators, for fuck's sake, make sure they aren't morons. And somebody tell them that they don't HAVE fill every silent void with their voices. Shut up. Enjoy the game for one single fucking moment!
But then what am I to expect from our american sports? Our teams are world champs after they advance past ALL the other teams… In our country. Man, are we self-centered. And stupid.
Hey Phillies and Yankees, remember to run the bases counter clockwise (to your left) after you swing that wooden thing at that little white thing! Oh, and if it gets hit to you… Catch it!
Jocks. They were stupid in high school, and apparently, still are.

Back-to-School Shopping with Hooligans
"We need to measure your inseam, honey," Michael announces in a mocking, senior voice. Vince pushes the manikin back, and Michael lets go. The plastic woman crashes into a wall of socks. My mother is mortified, but rather than reprimand them, she takes the high road and exits the store. She stands on the sidewalk pretending to wait for a bus. I remain in the store and watch like St. Peter from a distance.
One of the sales clerks heads toward the noise. She picks up the naked woman and looks about her for the breeze that must have caused such a collapse. There is no reason for her to think a customer pushed it into the dressing room. Why would anyone do such a thing?
Meanwhile, Vince in his new cords is walking around the store as Michael jumps on his back explaining, "We need to test their durability."
Vince takes a third hit before replying. He spins and throws Michael into a shelf of jeans. Michael steadies himself, laughs, ducks his head, and charges toward Vince like a linebacker.
It may seem like a scene from the "Bourne Identity" series, but this was how we shopped for back-to-school clothes. Getting pencils, loose leaf, and binders was not much different. Mom pushed the cart, I picked out the coolest folders and notebooks possible, while Michael threw Vince into every display he could find. Today they are normal, functioning adults and have never been prosecuted for a crime. Go figure.
|Lori Curley, champion mother of two middle-school teenagers, resides in South Orange, NJ. She holds a Masters in Education and has been teaching writing at the college level for 7 years. But can she find a job as a high school English teacher? Or will she pull her hair out first?
Are you freaking kidding me?! You're mother "took the high road"? By leaving HER kids in the store to cause more destruction?
The manikin (Wrong spelling honey and you teach writing? Guess spelling doesn't count today.)crashes into a sock display and they crashed into a shelf of jeans wearing clothes they haven't paid for.
And I'm sure that if they have ripped those clothes in the ill mannered display of "boys being boys" your high roaded mother wouldn't have paid for them. After all she had left the store and pretending they weren't her responsility.
Omg! What is wrong with the mother's on this site?! Why are you so bitter Chrissy? And if you are going to correct someone's spelling make sure you have spelled all of your words correctly first (responsility). I actually found the article funny and really think that was the point! Who hasn't had a crazy experience with their children while shopping and I'm sure her mother made sure her children were taken care of. And did not she say that the children grew up to be law abiding, productive citizens in society? Hmmm…mom must have done something right!
Annie - I'm teaching writing at a college level or have editors. I'm just a mom trying toget some internet time while my kids nap.
So I rushed my typing.
Big deal.
I ever left my kids in a store to run amuck.
And having been a Manager in retail, I'm sure the store employees weren't happy to have been left with those kids.

Moving ahead with our offseason preview, we are up to the running back position. Obviously, we have Steven Jackson in the fold already, but it's no secret that the depth behind SJ39 leaves plenty to be desired. Now, as much as I would love to see the Rams sign a top-notch guy, I highly doubt that it would be economically feasible. I think the move here is for the Rams to look for veteran who is reasonably priced and who can catch the ball and spell Steven, and then use the draft to get his heir-apparent either this season or next. Here is the list I came up with, and although these aren't some of the top names that could be available, they are the guys who are the right fit for us right now.
Darren Sproles – Once again, I like to start it off with my number one choice. Sproles would be a perfect fit here for several reasons: First, he is small and quick, a perfect compliment to SJ39. Second, he is an excellent receiver out of the backfield, which is exactly what we need. Third, he should be reasonably priced and he isn't the kind of back that needs a ton of touches in a game. Finally, he is exceptional in the return game, which means he gives us a boost in more than one position. I've already heard Sproles' name mentioned in connection with the Rams, so keep a close watch on him in the coming months.
Leon Washington – I admit that the chances of taking Washington out of Seattle are slim, but I would love to have him here in St. Louis. We should have gotten him last offseason, but that's a different story. Washington is a game-breaking talent in the return game, and he can be effective out of the backfield when given the chance.
Pierre Thomas – Thomas really fell off the map this season thanks to some injury troubles, but that could be a blessing in disguise for a team like St. Louis. The Saints are rich at the running back position with Chris Ivory and Reggie Bush, so they don't need to keep Thomas in the fold. He has proven to be capable of being a top guy when healthy, and a limited workload behind Jackson could spell a rejuvenation for the former Fighting Illini back.
Ahmad Bradshaw – We know Spags loves ex-Giants, and New York was frustrated by his lack of ball-security this season. I think he would be a nice fit here despite those problems because of the talent he brings to the table, but I doubt he gets out of New York.

Atlanta director Kenny Leon didn't have to look too far to find his composer for "Stick Fly."
Alicia Keys, a producer of the Lydia R. Diamond play that begins previews at Broadway's Cort Theater on Nov. 18, also will compose its music.
"As someone who walked up and down this boulevard as a young girl, I cannot describe the thrill of having the opportunity of composing songs for a Broadway show," Keys said in a statement.
"Stick Fly," opening Dec. 8, stars Dulé Hill, Mekhi Phifer, Tracie Thoms, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Rosie Benton and Condola Rashad. The play explores race, class and familial relationships among an extended well-to-do African-American clan on Martha's Vineyard.
Leon is set to go into full rehearsals later this month, after his other Broadway play, Katori Hall's already-in-previews "The Mountaintop," opens Oct. 13 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre.
"It's honestly been a dream come true," Keys added about her assignment. "I love the humor and humanity of 'Stick Fly,' and I'm so excited to be a part of the emotional journey this show will take audiences on."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I feel that the writing for WoW has one issue that other novels don't have. The 'reading level' if you will, is lower. It's more a Harry Potter level than for example a song of fire and ice. I think it has to be that way so it appeals to all the ages of wow players.
Mind you, I really enjoy the wow novels (esp war of ancients and christie's work). But by being limited to its audience, it can't be compared as easily.
A notable exception to this is the Guardian of Tirisfal book. The author (aaron Rosenbloom?) used words even I didn't know and had to look up. Thats unusual.
I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend two amazing first-in-a-series books
Split Infinity and On a Pale Horse - both by Piers Anthony.

Where to find tropical mixed drinks in Boston/Cambridge?
I just got back from St. Thomas and unfortunately didn't get a chance to try a painkiller or bushwacker there. Are there places in Boston/Cambridge to get good tropical drinks? I searched for painkiller and bushwacker on this board but the search came up empty. Thanks!
any bar should be able to make a Bushwhacker or Painkiller, they're made with pretty standard stuff.
but i doubt your going to find anything like that on a standing drink menu around here.
better than that i would suggest is to head to one of the local establishments that use freshly squeezed fruit juices (ESK, No. 9, etc) and tell them what kind of drink your after and let them tailor a cocktail to your palate.
you could also try to find a resto with a Caribbean flavor and see what they can do to help. maybe Cuci Cuci in the PRC?
re: ScubaSteve
Thanks, Steve. Sorry, what does PRC stand for?
re: joyosity
People's Republic of Cambridge.
re: ScubaSteve
Second what Scuba Steve says about fresh juices in a mixed drink. It makes ALL the difference in the world to me. The proliferation of "sour mix" in bars and its acceptance as a standard in a $10-$15 drink is beyond ridiculous.
In fact I'd love to see a list of local bars who take mixology seriously enough to use real fruit juice instead of those horrid mixes.
re: Ralphie_in_Boston
We've got a decent number of them actually. A very incomplete list, off the top of my head:
Green Street, B Side (has it closed yet? its replacement will surely be on the list as well...), Highland Kitchen, Eastern Standard, Deep Ellum, The Independent, No.9 (and surely Drink as well, though I have not yet been), Delux, Beehive, Blue Room, Chez Henri, West Side Lounge, Ole Mexican Grille
My list tilts heavily toward Cambridge & Somerville, as I live in the latter, but I'm sure there are more in Boston too. We are a pretty good cocktail bar town these days!
re: jajjguy
Thanks for that list! I was actually at the independent recently, and had I known they use fresh juice I wouldn't have ordered beer!
re: jajjguy
I've had some really good fruity cocktails at Highland Kitchen; they weren't quite "tropical," but they definitely know how to handle fruit.
re: Alica
seems to be:
An understandable urge, joyosity, but be careful. After returning from the BVI we attempted to find/recreate the Painkiller, and while we got very close, we were missing two key ingredients, namely the Caribbean views and the sand sticking to the condensation on the bottom of the cup. As wonderful as the drink itself is, the location is key. A clammy and cold pub in Boston just ain't the same...
This isn't strictly "tropical," but the Diva Lounge in Davis Square has surprisingly good mixed drinks with muddled (or smooshed) berries in them. I like the Shiva (it has cayenne pepper in it!) and the Zen (mashed-up blackberries). A good option for cocktails that will make you feel warm as the weather cools off!
re: AnyaEssen
Quite so! Genuinely exotic in a non-cartoon way.
Hi Joy, if you want to recreate tropical drinks from the Islands, I would eschew the modern bars in Boston and Cambridge and head for the old school Tiki spots just North of the city. There is a raft of them all throughout the North Shore, but my favorites are a few of the closer ones. My favorite is the Ho Win Palace in Chelsea/Everett on Route 16. The owner, Lina, tends bar and has done so for over 35 years at that location. The Zombie will literally knock you over, and it only costs 6.25. Other places would be Tiki Island near Wellington Station in Everett and Bali Hai up Route 1 past Saugus near 128.
These places are great, divey kind of chinese/polynesian places that will satisfy your tropical drink desires...
I believe Clink at the Liberty Hotel has a Painkiller. If not, the bartenders at Vox, CItybar, and Top of the Hub are AWESOME and can probably make you what you want, whether it's on the drink menu or not (all places have great menus).

Aw, thanks Kate! Trust me, though, I wasn't taking 30 so well prior to Sunday. I was a bit mopey and everything. :/ And sick. :/ it really helped for people to just give birthday wishes and stuff. Sounds kind of cheesy, but the love that you get from friends and family really offset the dreadful moment of turning 30. (Okay, maybe not so cheesy, that) I did begin to realize that things aren't so bad and life not so scary. :D And if anything, having a close friend or two to vent to is always ALWAYS a good thing.
Mmmm….Ed. ED.
Jigsaw 30x! Wait, that's bad. LOL.
And so I am thankful that they are not, or…if they are, that photographic evidence of this does not exist. Because if it did, sleep would never never come to me.
And I must have sleep. Now…if I dream of Ed and Cozzie (and I suppose Jonny too) like delivering papers on bikes…like one of those 2 (or 3 if there was Jonny) passenger things…
Or the whole band on a 5 passenger thing…
Or Ed on a motorcycle with that passenger thing and you could just have Coz or Thom in it chucking newspapers….
….I have clearly given this too much thought…
Aw, thanks, Anna! Haha, that would be awesome. Don't have my Mac at the moment…may have to put it on my Mom's laptop, lol….
summer omg
lol jpegs too
Thanks so much, David! :)
And I'm all like:
Mostly it's surprise. I knew 30 would come, but I don't feel it. I've been awfully nostalgic recently, watching music videos I used to watch circa 1995 when I first started finding my own niche in music. Back when MTV showed music videos, and the only non-music related thing was The Real World and Singled Out, and Idiot Savant. Maybe a little depressed, admittedly, but not out and out so. I think I'm mostly surprised because it came so fast. (that's what she said) Like where did 26-28 go? LOL. I'm not having a party, although I should, but I think I just want it to pass without too much event. It's another year, and I'm happy for it, but I don't want to make it a huge deal.
Hopefully today and tomorrow I'll be more like:
Thank you!!!! *wub* It's a bit weird…especially in the back where the clippers were used, but I like it! I'm having fun just messing about with it and making it stand up and everything. :D
Yeah, nothing too major on my island, but there was damage on at least 2 of the other islands. All in all, we're good. Thanks for the concern, though! :) *hugs*
And yeah…my wallpaper. I know, it's bad. It's just…Ed. I can't help it. D:

Attorney General Kane and Sen. John Rafferty: prescription drug abuse crisis requires cooperation, legislative action
HARRISBURG - Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today reiterated her support for legislation to help address the state's opioid prescription drug abuse epidemic after agents from the Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation along with agents from the Philadelphia DEA Diversion Task Force arrested and charged a Philadelphia woman on 257 counts of fraud, forgery and identity theft for obtaining prescriptions for narcotics.
"A law requiring the use of state-issued prescription pads, as well a reporting requirement when those pads are stolen, would assist physicians, pharmacists and law enforcement in preventing forged prescriptions from being filled," Attorney General Kane said.
State Sen. John Rafferty (R-44) has introduced Senate Bill 556, which would establish an official state prescription form for use by medical professionals authorized to prescribe drugs. The forms would be serially numbered and non-transferable and would be required for use by medical professionals when prescribing Schedule II, III or IV prescription drugs. Under the bill, medical professionals would be required to report lost or stolen pads.
"The growing prescription drug abuse problem is reaching epidemic proportions and is destroying lives in every region of this Commonwealth," Rafferty said. "This arrest is just one more example of the need for swift passage of Senate Bill 556. The Legislature must do everything within its authority to prevent this serious abuse and to ensure that these drugs remain in the proper hands."
The criminal charges state that between January 2012 and February 2014, Jacqueline M. Bernard, 44, 10700 Pelle Circle, Philadelphia, stole the identities of six physicians in Philadelphia and Montgomery counties. Using their names and Drug Enforcement Administration numbers, Bernard allegedly filled approximately 58 prescriptions for oxycodone (Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin) and alprazolam (Xanax) tablets at pharmacies in Bucks and Montgomery counties.
"Prescription drug abuse and overdoses have escalated to a full-blown crisis for families and communities across the Commonwealth," Attorney General Kane said. "I have made addressing this issue my number one priority this year."
An overwhelming majority of the House of Representatives recently passed an expanded prescription drug monitoring program bill, H.B. 1694, sponsored by state Rep. Matt Baker (R-68) in October of last year. A similar bill, S.B. 1180, sponsored by state Sen. Pat Vance (R-31), recently was passed unanimously by the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee and is awaiting floor action.
Attorney General Kane noted Pennsylvania has the 14th highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States. She said prescription drug and related-heroin abuse reaches across all ages, demographics and geographic areas.
Bernard is charged with 58 counts of possession of a controlled substance by fraud, 58 counts of possession of a controlled substance, 58 counts of identity theft, 58 counts of forgery and 25 counts of insurance fraud. She will be prosecuted in Montgomery County.
Attorney General Kane thanked the DEA for its assistance with the investigation.
(A person charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.)

yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of to kill a mockingbird. as such, let's commemorate it with a scout finch post. i never thought of maycomb as a particularly fashionable town, but i always thought scout was pretty kickass. she reminds me a lot of elizabeth bennet, just somebody who'll call you on your shit and knows right from wrong etc. anyway, she spent her summers with her brother jem and their friend dill. after a civil trial hits town, their lives get really interesting. scout's father atticus defends an innocent man charged with raping a woman in town. despite evidence to exonerate the accused, he is found guilty and shot as he tries to escape prison. the girl's family is humiliated and her father vows revenge against atticus. eventually, he attacks scout and her brother jem as they come home from a halloween pageant. luckily, their elusive neighbor boo radley (the subject of many scout, jem and dill's summer adventures) comes to their aid. there's a lot more to it but you should find the rest out on your own. it's one of the greatest books ever.

you don't get a more badass teacher than minerva mcgonagall. she's always been one of my favorite harry potter characters…maybe because she reminds me of some of my middle school teachers. anyway, you can't really get anything by her and she obviously played a huge role in harry's life. the above looks might be a little bit of a stretch, perhaps they're better suited to a younger mcgonnagall. either way, minerva is awesome. this is probably the last of the harry potter posts, unless you guys have any other suggestions.

continuing with willie wonka at the behest of kristina (http://lucaluca.tumblr.com) i give you violet beauregarde. in the book and both films, violet is depicted as fiercely competitive. this spirit is illustrated with her gum chewing titles and her friendly rivalry with fellow competitor, cornelia, ha. anyway, violet always seemed to be simple in contrast to her counterpart, veruca. that doesn't mean she was exactly kind though. she doesn't seem the type that would grow up to be a fashion plate so i'm sure her style would take the backseat to her competitions. however, simple doesn't mean she couldn't be chic.

maria louise of savoy is more commonly referred to as the princesse de lamballe. as was customary she was married at a young age to one of the greatest heirs in france. the match was arranged by his father who thought it wise to pair his debaucherous son with the beautiful and pious princess. despite his wishes, lamballe's husband quickly returned to his ways and soon after marriage died of an STD. too bad so sad. widowed, lamballe traveled to the court at versailles where she became a close friend of queen marie anotoinette. we all know how that ended. lamballe met perhaps the worst end of all, after agreeing with the revolutionaries on the rights of man but refusing to renounce her friend and queen she was brutally (like bruuutallly) given up to a mob. her head was paraded around on a pike in front of marie's windows and that's not nearly the worst of it. oh well, she probably had some kick-ass refined style. 1: let's be best friends, marie: dress by oscar de la renta, coat by reem acra, shoes and tights by ralph lauren2: i feel like we should be working on something: dress by marc jacobs, fur by dennis basso, bag by marc jacobs, shoes by zac posen3: party at versailles: dress by donna karan, coat by brian reyes, shoes and tights by ralph lauren

Hawks GM Danny Ferry says Spurs free agent James Anderson has been invited to join the team's veterans camp. Anderson apparently will accept, according to a tweet by former teammate Danny Green.
Anderson, 23, likely will join the Hawks on a summer contract. If it proves to be a good fit for team and player, Anderson would be signed to the roster on a non-guaranteed contract to fill the defensive-minded wing role Ferry is seeking (though it's notable that Anderson has played most of his minutes at shooting guard).
Anderson, San Antonio's first-round pick in the 2010 draft, has played just 889 total minutes in two seasons. During that limited time his offensive production and efficiency have been bad. Anderson's defensive on-court, off-court and opponent PER have been positive but his Synergy defensive stats have been poor, especially in isolation.
All of that comes with the usual Small Sample Size Disclaimer. Obviously Ferry, who saw Anderson up close as a Spurs executive, believes Anderson has potential. Anderson was a very good offensive player at Oklahoma State, as Michael Kamalsky noted at DraftExpress.com before the 2010 draft:
James Anderson was nothing short of spectacular last season, and it shows here. His 1.07 overall PPP ranks second amongst all players, as do his 20 possessions used per-game. He was above the PPP every in every situation except for guarded catch and shoot situations, and has more experience running the pick and roll (2.9 Pos/G) than any other player on our rankings. High usage/high-efficiency players are extremely difficult to come by, and NBA teams may want to ponder if they're missing the boat on Anderson due to the fact that he has not been spectacular in workouts. The same thing happened last year with Marcus Thornton.
Michael A. De Leon, writing for Project Spurs, says Anderson is a good pick up for Ferry:
The Hawks, who could use some help at shooting guard with the loss of Joe Johnson, could be making quite the sleeper move here. Anderson is a capable scorer and slasher and at times showed signs of improving on the defensive end, but he lost his confidence with the Spurs after he failed to make an impression on the coaching staff when he stepped in for Manu [Ginobili] against Golden State last season.
Anderson had been the sixth or seventh man off the bench and when the Spurs started Green after Anderson's [disappointing] performance, Anderson's time on the floor began going downhill and at times didn't come off the bench at all.
Clearly the Hawks could use more help at small forward than at shooting guard. If Anderson can play the wing and prove to be a competent offensive player and reliable defender, he could earn a job and a role with the Hawks.

Slightly off topic but in regards to the Knicks lots of issues remain:
I will say this, when I evaluate teams, I look for things that have worked before….I think amare and felton when they were playing together under dantoni and working well was a huge plus.. it gives your offense something you know that works, besides giving it to someone and say Melo, hey, go score… from that pick and roll a lot of other things can open up.. I love offenses that run that way.. the key is, will woodson stick with that, even if it means less touches for carmelo? I remember Doc rivers addressing pierce and pretty much let pierce know that he was going to have to pick his spots, that rondo will have the ball… also
Kidd is / was a HOF player.. he no longer has those HOF skills, but he can still play and provide leadership.. I trust him with the ball..
chandler is chandler, he will be good.
camby may still have gas in the tank
prigs, I know nothing about this guy and honestly don't expect much.. being realistic
Brewer, the guy is a scrub.. LOL.. but he can defend… nothing special tho..
Felton and amare I think they can pick up where they left off, the problem is, for them to be effective you have to run the pick and roll as a large part of the offense and it helps if you have some shooters.. other than novak, knicks really don't.. it just seems like they are trying to mesh two players in amare and melo that need two seperate offenses to be effective. Melo iso and Amare pick and roll.

Anderson over Morrow or Korver? There's a reason why Morrow/ Korver get lots of playing time, and why Anderson is barely on any team.
I say stick Morrow at the 3, and have Stevenson be his defensive replacement!

AJ – The 6-6 220 being big enough to play the 3 in the League was based on many folks on here, over the course of several blogs, suggesting that they felt a bigger 3 was needed. They didn't want Delfino at 6-6 230, because they wanted a bigger 3.
Was that you? Maybe not, sure thought it was. But if not, the point still remains – obviously you don't want a 5-11 160 guy guarding a 6-7 235 guy on a regular basis. So there are "minimum" size requirements to play a position on a consistent basis, with rare exceptions (Mugsy, Spud, Kenneth Faried, Buck Williams, Fat Lever etc.).
I was just saying 6-6 220 is an ok size for a modern 3 in the NBA – undersized, yes, but it could work.
So what was your point again,other than a dig at me for your pointing out your idiocy concerning Jeff Teague on a fairly regular basis?
August 28th, 2012
12:31 am
Now I will admit AJ, your bias against JT was showing so heavily, and was being recognized by most on the blog, that you have backed off for the most part for a few months.
And as a fan, you have a right to dislike and like whoever you please. Just keep it real. Biases can distort our perceptions of reality.
And we probably all have them to varying degrees.
I do like alot of your posts – keep it up – good for the blog!

Slim – What's up with the Knicks? Folks have them pegged all over the place – from 2nd the East to missing the playoffs. I guess they do have some volatility with major question marks.
I see them as maybe a 4 or 5 seed.
The Nets vs the Knicks is going to be a brutal war this season. That's good for basketball.
August 28th, 2012

The Nets and Knicks sure look pretty even, at least on paper. More questions with the Knicks to me however – Felton, Camby, Amare etc.

Only SF I would trade for is Wilson Chandler from Denver, dude is young and loaded with talent along with being on an absolutely affordable contract.
Denver has a huge jam at SF with the addition of Iggy, unfortunately they have a logjam at nearly every position which would make a trade tough they would probably want picks, but I would do it, Wilson can be our 3 for the future and I think we should go after him when the trade restrictions expire.

For the ones who were too lazy to punch the youtube link which tjhook posted, James Anderson says that the player to whom his game most resembles is Joe Johnson :
"Not flashy, just get the job done type of guy".
He also said that he can score the ball and get defensive stops on the other end which is exactly what JJ did for us.

The only thing that will get the Hawks through this season will be incredible team unity, guts and smarts. Every player….all the time…..doing what has to be done. Without this, the excitement and buzz I see on this blog will soon come to an end.
Smith will have to give up his occasional dumb spells. Pachulia will have to handle the ball and get quicker. Horford will have to battle. Teague will have to think like Rondo….at all times, in control….and use his speed. Everyone is going to have to come up with new all-around skills, work out like it's important and spend extra time perfecting shots and strategies. Then, they gotta watch Boston, LA, San Antonio, OKC and even the dreaded Heat to learn how to win. Otherwise, it's not going to work. And it won't be pretty.
The HEAT…..As we learned last year, they DO try to injure opposing players. No matter how good they are, no matter how many steps they give Lebron, how many palms they give Wade……the Heat beat people up and undercut players in the air. Hard to like them.
Read what Lou Williams said…..He learns from other players and gives them credit. Rather lose with good guys than win with Dwight or even Paul Pierce (who like most Boston players use their brains to win games). But maybe you can win with Lou too.
Maybe you can win with Williams, Teague, Horford, Smith and Harris…….but they all gotta at their very best. Glad it's only a game….

I will say this about John Jenkins. If you follow his twitter account, I think all the kid does is hit the gym and sleep. Heck, he may even sleep at the gym. I think the Hawks made a good pick. This kid is working hard.

Just Joe,
I am very confident that JJ mk.2 will be a very productive player in the NBA.
I think he will quickly get his share of minutes and end up starting along side Teague.
I thought at first that he was strictly a spot up shooter but he has a midrange game too with floaters and fakes.

"Only SF I would trade for is Wilson Chandler from Denver, dude is young and loaded with talent along with being on an absolutely affordable contract." Jae Evolution
I agree with this move. I really like Wilson's game.
I looked at the highlights of Anderson in college, but I also was very impressed by Marvin's also. I even heard the commentator say he was the most talented TarHeel….
The Al hate is so out of control that again steven a smith wants ZaZa to start over Al! He even compares Al to Jon Contract. This is really funny, I want a career 7/7 guy to start over a career 12/9 guy (whom in his last full season was a 15/9 guy. ZaZa started almost all year and didn't come close to producing what Al did. What a joke!

Deng for AL…geeeeeeeeeeeez…this is how bad…things have deteriorated…Al has given his all to this organization…played through injuries…probably came back quicker than he should have after the surgery…and this is the thanks he gets…again geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.
I think the games in the Olympic wasn't a true barometer…of what we are going to see when AL reports back to camp…with the extended time to recover…he will have time to work on his strength. Al has always worked hard in the offseason to improve…DUDE is a first class guy…that represents this organization well…the level of disdain for AL on blog has reached absurd levels.
You would think Al has stole some money from some of these cats…did I mention geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.lol
August 28th, 2012
8:38 am
Ummm, Anderson first of all is no JJ. He couldn't even get minutes in the fair and balanced Spurs attack. Anderson under LD does not all of a sudden blossom.
And does our pursuits of a SF tell you that Danny wants Josh at the 4 in the critical minutes?
I stil can't fathom Josh being the #1 option on a team. If he is, then so is Teague.
August 28th, 2012
8:46 am
Why do you guys call it hate when the majority of the people on this site see Al as a back up or role player? In your minds is Al some kind of God who is above criticism? Really? I think we need to get rid of Al too. We will never be able to upgrade with Al on this team.
His lack of skill on the offensive end stifles us and forces us into to the predictable pick and roll or set screen offense just to get Al involved. He is far to mechanical and predictable.
His lack of skill, and will on the defensive end means we will never get past the second round of the playoffs because you have to protect the rim and paint something Al is Allergic too.
His attitude of " I wanna play power forward " is disruptive and contentions to team chemistry.
He has peaked, his talent is limited. Hes injury prone.
"Deng for AL…geeeeeeeeeeeez…this is how bad…things have deteriorated…Al has given his all to this organization…played through injuries…probably came back quicker than he should have after the surgery…and this is the thanks he gets…again " – Horford Cultist
Al has given a career average of 12pts to this team, however I agree, its his all hes got.
Al has played through injuries, yeah in five (5) years two (2) major injuries. Thats not a healthy sign for a young man. It will only get worse as he gets older. And if he had come to camp in shape he probably would not have had that injury.last year, which speaks to his work ethics
I agree again, Al came back after loafing the whole year to make 3 play off games, pick up a playoff check and make sure the hawks (who were doing fine with out him) would not make the next round.
Al farted through the playoffs committing SEVEN (7) turnovers in one (!) game, to make sure the hawks would not end on a high note after making the second round of the playoffs with out him. That was the worst stink Al had done all year. but of course he hadn't played Al year.
Al's coming back in the playoffs wasn't about the team it was about Al picking up a playoff check. More, Al was the most rested man in the playoffs and should have had young springs in his legs and elevated over Boston, who was not only OLD, Tired, and worn out after playing all season log….
Instead, All put on that 7 turnover performance that pigeon holed the hawks playoff chances and put the hawks on the death kneel.
Those are facts and observations. It has nothing to do with hate. The only hate is that the hawks dont give us a better choice than AL Horford.

JUST JOE-When Reggie Millier entered the NBA, they said the same negatives about him that is being said about John Jenkins. It was said that Reggie couldn't handle the ball well enough, couldn't penetrate or defend, just shoot jumpers. He was also considered a gym rat as well. I think the future HOFer did an excellent job of proving the so called experts totally wrong.
If I'm not mistaken, some of the same criticisms were also said about future HOFer Ray Allen upon entering the NBA. There were also numerous so called experts who said a 6′9″ HOF PG was too tall to defend the position, too slow, didn't have a jumpshot, and couldn't protect the ball against the NBAs quicker faster PGs. If I'm not mistaken, they were wrong as hell once again.
Rip Hamilton had to deal with the same negative assumptions when he entered the NBA. These so called experts had reservations about George Gervin as well, concerning his lack of speed, quickness, athleticism, shooting range, ball handling, and DEF ability being a liability. John Jenkins has enough talent and proven ability to become a very effective NBA player. How good he becomes will depend on him, how hard he works, and the system he plays in.

When you're already a DUMBA$$, you need not worry about making an A$$ of yourself. That's why we continue getting DUMBA$$ suggestions like trading AHorford for LDeng, and Deng is a better rebounder, even though facts prove otherwise. Logic, common sense and facts obviously don't matter to a DUMBA$$. The only thing that matters is the attention derived from being a DUMBA$$.
When one continues with the same BS lies and same approach, then he/she/it reaches the supreme level of ANAL MINDED DUMBA$$, or MORON.

Bjerry has an interesting take on the Knicks [he lives in the area]. See above comments..
The Knicks have so many questions to answer. Also they hope not to be bitten by the injury bug again..
doc, if Larry was coaching the Knicks, doubt he would go 18-6.. just my two cents..
I also believe Anthony is overrated by a mile.. He is too one dimensional. He is a jumper shooter, nothing more…
If he could have been coached by Doc Rivers he may have learned to perform other parts of the game well.. Oh well..It is what it is..

Carmelo is overrated this past season proves it the only reason Denver got to where they did when he was there were the pieces around him.
You know as they say Offense sells tickets and Carmelo certainly has that, but defense wins what….?
As for the hawks people need to realize this we lost Joe Johnson when Danny Ferry came in he knew that was the first order of business. Honestly I'm not mad we might take a step back or who knows even a step forward because if you really think Jason Collins and Eric Dampier were good you're smoking crack.
Those two on a team like Boston would be good, but only because of how the environment is up there. Kind of like Melo in Denver a product of the environment nothing more nothing less.
Still this year wasn't the year for us it's next summer we don't know if Dwight is even going to stay in L.A(doubt it especially with Kobe up in age so bad). Same thing with Bynum no one knows anything right now.
They've awarded L.A National Champs and the season hasn't even started lol.
One more tidbit if I had to choose between Bynum and Howard I might have to take Bynum. Howard is dominate on Defense, but Bynum is also the same as well maybe not to the same extent, but on offense though I'd def love to have Bynum over Howard.

@ Rusty
It's so bad that I might even go lower than that as bad as Woody was L.D is almost 5x worse.
The thing is unlike Woody he doesn't lose the respect of players cause he doesn't single them out.
For things they've done wrong. More or less L.D is the coach version of Rick Sund a caretaker until someone better comes along.

Ray, agree on your take in relation to Denver and Anthony's game..
Yes Rusty, Larry Drew cost the Hawks game two[ and the series] with his miss handling of his bench/starters in the late 3rd,early 4th quarter of that game after they built an 11 point lead and had Boston on the ropes..He let them off the hook!
Yes he coached them out of winning that series with Boston..
He will be found out this year by Danny and be gone..
Larry would have coached the Knicks to a 12-12 record or worse..

Larry Drew is 28-47 against the winners..He does not have it..He has stepped outside his gifts..

LD is an enabler. He just sat there and let the players self manage themselves (Josh and JJ since the others did not have enough pull).
Whenever he did something out of his own mind, it was pure cr@p.
LD let JJ go into ISO mode late in games and let Josh do the foolish stuff that he always does.
That's LD in a nutshell: he was simply JJ and Josh's man.

Steve, first, you were not the only blogger who commented on Anderson's size relative to his ability to play SF yesterday. Review the early blog comments and you will see that maybe, just maybe, I was speaking to a larger audience and not directing my opinion soley to you. My posts yesterday were a simple suggestion that size without competence is meaningless. I doubt that any of us have watched enough of Anderson to determine his NBA competency. So we all can go with one of two things… focus solely on size or attempt to derive information about his competency. Some went the size route, which in my opinion, is silly. Patrick O'Bryant has tremendous size but isn't nearly as effective at playing NBA center as the smaller Al Horford. Pape Sy has nice size and athleticism, but can't find his way onto an NBA roster (or French National team) with a flashlight and GPS device.
I thought it better to consider his competence. Let's see, he was a former 1st round pick of an organization that is the standard for young player development. And that franchise opted not to bring him back for his third season. He signed an unguaranteed contract with a team that has a combo guard in Lou who will easily demand 28+ minutes a game AND 4 wings between 6'4"-6'7" (which suggests to me that he didn't likely have many suitors knocking on his door). So based on those clues, am I supposed to conclude that this guy is ready to provide meaningful minutes on a team that some around here are convinced can contend for the 2nd round of the playoffs? Excuse me if I choose not to go down that dizzying path.
Yes, I was concerned about the lack of size of players like Delfino, Pietrus and Barnes. In an ideal world, we would get a decent mix of competence AND size (i.e., Josh Howard, McGuire, Shawne Williams or Noccioni). I'd look for a solid, clear-cut SF… and not just a "wing". That was my point a few weeks ago and it still stands (until those more traditional SFs are off the board).
Now, since you brought up my history of comments about Jeff Teague (and remember, you opened this can, not me), let me suggest (again) that if my assertion that young Mr. Teague was too inconsistent in his effort, too often had his shot rejected at the rim (because he thought he was playing NC State) and played like he was a-scared of his teammates (and coaches and opposition and Harry the Hawk) to be "OWED" playing time in the early portion of his career, has invalidated any opinion that I may have about any other player associated with the Hawks, then you should scroll. I don't back down from my initial opinion and have not been so narrow minded as to believe that what a player showed early in his career is what he will be later in his career. And I can assure you, that any changes in my opinion are not based on some pressure to acquiesce to the mass opinion of this blog, I lose no sleep at night standing alone in my viewpoints on players or coaches. I am quite relieved that Teague has grown and (hopefully) is still growing. But again, if the fact that I thought he once offered very little to the team from the heart area up was so upsetting to you, you need not waste your time reading my posts.

I feel sorry for Micheal Cunnigham to actually have to wake up every morning and act like he gives a sh.it about this team….

I just noticed that Lou Williams was 14th in the League at scoring per minute.
And ESPN just ranked Ivan Johnson at #312 in the League (ahead of DeWhawn Stevenson at #319). Look what it said – and it didn't say whether he was up and coming or sliding – not enough info I guess.
"Ivan Johnson at 312 in #NBArank? I wouldn't tell him, he's still number 1 in #TerrifyingRank."
This team has the potential to be the most fun of a Hawks team in years:
Lou, Teague, and Harris running
Al and Josh as the All Stars (I think both probably make the team this year)
Morrow, Korver, and Jenkins shooting the 3's
And ZaZa and Ivan keeping it entertaining down low – Two of the best enforcers in the League.
Ivan has just enough of an edge…

I would assume that Anderson may be considering the Hawks as his primary option based on what Ferry may have told him of what are his chances of sticking around (bearing in mind that he has been under his wing already in SA).
My guess, as I believe is yours, is that of all the "backcourt-kind of wing players" guys we currently have, few will be on the roster on day 1 and probably none by the trade deadline.
My guess is that, Morrow, Stephenson and Harris (and maybe even Korver) all will be gone no later than the trade deadline midway the season.
I am almost 100% certain that Harris and Korver where brought in simply because they have trade value for playoff teams and that we will be able to snatch younger chips and picks once someone in the hunt for the playoffs or the title hits the panic button and is looking for help.
The same should apply to Stephenson, due to his defense, and even to Morrow due to his shooting prowess.
I honestly don't think any of these cats has ANY chance of staying here with the exception of Harris which might stay if Ferry feels that Teague is not what he is looking for and finds a good deal using him as a trade chip.
Ferry is cleaning house and everyone is virtually on the block with some guys less available and less tradeable.
He already cleared Gattison and Hill from the training staff and from the roster JJ, Marvin and the whole back-end of the bench (maybe even Ivan – unfortunately) and he is bringing HIS people.
August 28th, 2012
11:17 am
Obviously, I am not saying that Anderson is getting calls left and right from other teams.
SG's are a dime a dozen and he has been injured a lot and kind of lost the train.
On a different subject, I just wish that we had signed Reggie Evans so we could play a whole front court of nasty bearded maniacs:
Reggie Evans, Ivan Johnson and DeShawn… oh man… with a speedster like Harris and either Jenkins, Morrow or Korver as the SG this bench would be a very interesting mix of slashing, shooting and outright meanness down low.

What really ticks me off about Larry is his post game interviews. He presents himself as [I had the perfect game plan] but the players chit on it!!
August 28th, 2012
11:19 am
Aj – Well since your post on page 1 was about 3 or 4 posts after I had made the observation that Morrow was 6-5.5 220, and big enough to play the 3 spot, I assumed I was at least 1 of the folks you aimed your comment at.
And we'll agree to disagree about Teague – you can be wrong all you like – it's a free country.
And like I said, most of the time, when your not biased and trying to drum up negativity towards JT, I like your postings – you keep the blog cooking – so I'll not scroll past your comments – I gotta see if you make an untrue remark about a player you don't like.
Tongue sticking out saying nanana boo boo
Feels like kindergarten in here.
See ya – keep up the good posts!

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - A Milwaukee man has been ordered to stand trial for allegedly holding sheriff's officers at bay for six hours while tying up traffic on a major freeway.
42-year-old Donald Hale was bound over Thursday for an arraignment on felony charges of vehicle theft and not complying with police. He's scheduled to enter pleas on January 24th.
Prosecutors said Hale and his girlfriend were in a stolen SUV when they held officers at bay last month on Interstate 94 just west of Milwaukee's downtown.
During the standoff, Hale allegedly held the magazine of a gun out the window and said, "I got rounds for all of you." But no shots were fired and no one was hurt.
The standoff ended when a bomb squad robot broke out a window, and officers sprayed tear gas inside which forced Hale and his girlfriend to leave the vehicle.
The woman was not charged. Hale had been free since last April, after spending 8 years in prison for a robbery conviction.

I dare you to find somebody who doesn't like ice cream sandwiches. Dare you, I say! I mean, what's not to like, right? It's two of the world's greatest desserts combined into one. It's a mega-dessert. And everybody wins when they eat one.
But have you ever tried making your own ice cream sandwiches? Really, it's very simple, and it's the perfect thing to do with the kids.
You can either go the super simple route: Buy ready-made ice cream, cookies, and of course, sprinkles and chocolate chips for good measure. Or you can go the (slightly) more labor-intensive one: Bake your own cookies. (If you're completely mad, and own an ice cream maker, you can make that fresh, too!)
Here is my favorite version of the classic ice-cream sandwich. Enjoy! And let me know yours!
(Chocolate Chip Cookie & Vanilla) Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
3. Beat margarine, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl
until creamy. Add applesauce and oil, beating well after each addition.
4. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
5. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for two minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
6. Once completely cooled, place one scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies*.
7. Eat as is or dip ice cream into chocolate chips, coconut, sprinkles, whatever!
*Yes, these are vegan cookies. Trust me, they are the are just as good, if not better, than the ones with butter and eggs. I prefer these with ice cream sandwiches because they're the tiniest bit lighter than "regular" ones, and it's a nice juxtaposition against the rich ice cream.
Image via arnold I inuyaki/Flickr
not to get off subject Oreos are NOT vegan.
There are vegan ice creams that can be used :o)
@ Rhonda Veggie - Oreos are vegan? Really? Wouldn't there be milk and butter in the cookie, and then milk in the cream in the center? Hmmm... If not, then cool! :) Learn something new every day.
I think these sound good, though I'd probably use butter instead of any kind of margarine. Ever since I found out margarine was a few chemical equations short of being plastic, I've been running back to butter. Now, nobody tell me about all the things that go into butter! :P
My kids love these

Don't settle for imitators who pretend to provide the same level of quality service - thanks for choosing ProClocks! RARE Franklin-Morse Calendar Parlor Clock--RARE Here is the first Franklin-Morse Calendar Clock that I have ever seen, much less owned. I just purchased a large collection of highly collectable clocks and over the next few weeks will be listing some of the over 200 pieces. This Franklin-Morse stands 23 x 16 1/8 inches, and it has a 5" calendar roman numeral dial. It is a walnut case with lots of nice carvings on it, and it has a calendar dial around the outer perimeter of the dial. In addition, it has a slot just under the center post where the month is indicated. As noted in the 'Survey of American Clocks' on calendar clocks, page 150 states that Benjamin Franklin of Chicago, Illiinois, was issued a patent # 279,143 on June 12, 1883, with half interest to Francis E. Morse of Chicago, for a perpetual mechanism which could be attached to an existing clock with no modifications, except cutting a hole in the dial. The clock cases and movements were manufactured by E.N. Welch Co. It shows several pictures of this model clock, the only style ever produced by them. There is also a close up picture of the calendar movement like this one. Their model had two labels on the back as this one does, with Francis E. Morse's name on it. It also has the famous Geneve Stops on the front of the movement to prevent overwinding. Our clock is signed by the E.N. Welch Company, and it has the famous sandwich glass pendulum, but the drawback of it is the small hairline crack in the glass. It is an eight day movement with hour strike, month calendar, and day of the month. If you are a collector of calendar clocks, or of rare american clocks, then this one should be for you. My reference is from the price guide of 1975 in oak and it was priced at $575. I am not sure of the value today, 35 years later, but know it is a very rare clock. I am selling it with no reserve, and shipping charges of $35 within the Continental USA. If you have any questions on this very rare calendar clock, then please email me. As noted, I have a large collection of different and unusual early clocks I will be listing in the near future, so stay tuned for some nice pieces. Good luck on the bidding on this nice clock.

Imagination is Adam Sandler's response to bad times. As Bedtime Stories' hotel employee Skeeter Bronson, Sandler helps his single-parent sister (Courteney Cox) during her new job search by babysitting his niece and nephew. He tells them bedtime stories that spur their own fantasies and—magically—come true in his own life. This is an inspired metaphor for the way pop culture ought to work: It is handed down by one generations, taken up by the next, understood by all, and becomes a source of amazement and spiritual sustenance. Wall-E be damned!
With Bedtime Stories, Sandler continues his winning streak of appealing and humane comedies. Maybe it was seeing how P.T. Anderson's Punch-Drunk Love (2002) went wrong (turning whimsy into dark paranoia) that convinced Sandler how movies ought to entertain. Since then, he's balanced emotion with humor, sweetness with bawdiness, and made an agreeable series of light but
substantive films. Bedtime Stories bests the current Oscar bait by going against today's trend toward "darkness." That Skeeter benefits from what he does for his niece and nephew is an object lesson in responsibility and benevolence—and it blesses the audience, too.
Skeeter's stories range from Ancient Greece, Outer Space and the Old West to Medieval times—a genuinely cinematic panorama. Myth folds into contemporary living, rejuvenating Skeeter's work-life and family heritage—vital things that hipster filmmakers P.T. Anderson and Soderbergh and Fincher dismiss. Sandler outpaces them all. Bedtime Stories parallels Sandler's 2002 film Eight Crazy Nights—Hollywood's only Hanukkah-based animated film—as a comic artist's individual expression.
Like Eddie Murphy in Norbit and Meet Dave, Sandler isn't ashamed to express his ethnicity. He shares his Jewishness ecumenically—as a contribution to pop culture. This recalls the Palestinian professor's credo in Munich, explaining why he translated The Arabian Nights: "I love what this classic tells us about the power of narrative, the relationship of narrative to survival." Bedtime Stories is Sandler's credo.
