Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
Had time to watch it again today and can now give my official review:
You’re in an afterhours club. It’s 5AM and you really should be home. The bartender is a gorgeous blonde chick with dreadlocks and tats. Absolutely juicy body. She’s wearing leather pants. You know she’s a mistake waiting to happen, but you make the mistake anyway. Somehow she doesn’t steal...

AN ACTUAL CRAIG’S LIST PERSONALS AD To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last. Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T. I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled…
Read the whole thing. I have a new hero.

About 2/3 of the way through it now and I think I may be watching a great movie. I don’t use the word lightly, and will have to watch the film 3-4 times before I can firm up my opinion. Right now, however, it’s all there. Kind of feel like I’m watching a no-hitter.
SHOOT HIM AGAIN! HIS SOUL IS STILL DANCING!
Here’s the thing, Bro. It’s...

What's that?
You need me to scout big old rambling farmhouses, preferably on the water? No greenlight yet, but I’m packing my fly rod and cleaning up my fishing gear in case it does happen.

2yellows-deactivated20101212 asked: Keep meaning to ask this. Have you ever scouted for Night? He shoots a lot in this area, where I live, since he's so heavily into the Wyeth-esque look. Just wondering.

Spoiled rotten
The guy I buy beef from at the Union Square Greenmarket brought a bag of beef neck bones for Moe. 10 pounds of bones for a 9 pound dog. Grass fed, totally organic beef.

Dear Natalie Portman, You don’t know me but I’m kind of a big deal. My name is Sam and I’m fucking amazing. So are you. You’re a Princess. A Princess wrapped inside an Angel wrapped inside ANOTHER Angel! You make rainbows cry, you’re so beautiful. The only difference between you and the Mona Lisa is that the Mona Lisa looks like a piece of shit…. You can’t be made in God’s...
Cavs-Bulls series wrapup
It took a while, but finally some small measure of redemption for Craig Ehlo and “The Shot”. Hard to believe but this is the first time the Cavs have bested the Bulls in a playoff series. I like the burgeoning rivalry between the teams. Derrick Rose is a great player and a class act and I look forward to some entertaining, hard-fought games as he gets a little more talent around...

I want this framed.
This week’s Sports Illustrated features a tremendous cover shot of the Core Four - Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte - having some fun…
Make sure you get the right SI. 3 out of every 16 don’t have Pettite in the picture.
I love me some Josh Cribbs →
These guys are given such great gifts from God and they are mis-using their talents. We are on a stage for everyone to see. Everything we do is viewed through such a microscope. That is why I am glad our commissioner is doing his best to clean this up. As NFL players, we are told from day one that we are held to a higher standard. These guys know that they need to stay out of trouble. From...

Peter King on Felix Jones
I’m sorry, I hate to be “that guy” but seriously? Here’s what PK had to say about CJ Spiller: “Maybe he’ll be the kind of Felix Jones-ish all-purpose back that, in touching it 12 to 15 times a game, can have four-wins-a-season impact.”
Four wins a season impact? Are you shitting me? In the first place, Felix Jones has only played one season in the...
Peter King on Jimmy Clausen
“Maybe he’s not the kind of guy you want to go on vacation with. Maybe he is full of himself. But what’s Jay Cutler? Philip Rivers?”
An interception machine that kills teams and a guy who has choked in the big games so far, respectively. Your point?
Okay, this is frigging great →
Joachim Noah’s Cleveland Vacation
So effing hung over
My eyes are bleeding
Well that sucked
For me, moving the draft into primetime absolutely sucked. I’ve attended the NFL draft pretty regularly for the last ten years. Last night was likely the last time I’ll go. ESPN and the NFL have done a lovely job promoting it and turning it into a manufactured television event. I understand that is in their best interests, but they have sucked every last ounce of enjoyment out of...

NFL Draft
Always one of my favorite days. I’ve gone probably 8 out of the last 10 years. Weird that it’s in prime time this year. One of the attractions was that it was an excuse to get together with your pals and start drinking early on a Saturday morning. Fortunately I’m unemployed, so I can still get a head start. It’s not the same, but I’m still excited.
A few great...
Bronx Italian Funerals
Elaine’s grandfather passed away at the end of last week. I’ll write more about him later as he led an amazing life. For now, however, there is something that needs to be said. Holy crap was the food amazing over the last three days. Tray after tray of ziti with vodka sauce, lasagna, penne with garlic and fresh tomato, broccoli rabe, chicken parm, veal marsala, oysters, clams,...

C’mon Tumblr, I remember when you used to be cool.
So many reasons to love her.
Last night we found out that someone in Elaine’s family had died. Later, when we went to bed, I attempted to get a little amorous.

BenDawson and I have bet on this Tuesday’s Twins-Indians game. Loser wears the winning team’s cap until the All-Star break. That’s right, none of those Icarane-Catshirt wussy bets for us.

So…I’m doing it right?
First of the season
Just hit Stubhub for tickets, taking my Father-in-law to the Yankee game tomorrow. Sitting in the sun in left field boxes, weather in the mid-60’s. Sounds like a beer drinking day to me.

Danny DeVito frigging loves Moe.
Spoiled little bastard
Yesterday was Moe’s second “Birthday”. Meaning it was the two-year anniversary of when we rescued him from a kill shelter. He went from doggie death row in the Appalachian mountains to the lap of luxury with us in the East Village. When we picked him up he had no fur on the lower two inches of his legs, the vet told us that comes from never leaving a cage. It took a few...
tdpj-deactivated20120420 asked: Stupid question - When choosing a place to shoot would you rather have:
a.) A city that might not have exactly what your looking for, but is really easy to work with.
b.) A city that is has exactly the right elements, but they are going to pain in the ass to work with.
