You know, I actually saw two fairly exceptional movies yesterday, making it a truly banner day in my book, but I'm really not quite ready to say anything about "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire" just yet, so instead I'll start with what for me was a truly pleasant surprise, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil." Actually, I will say this about "Precious": Don't ever...
California tailback Jahvid Best was rushed to the emergency room Saturday night after landing on the back of his head after scoring a touchdown.

With Japan Fashion Week shows now running concurrently with the Tokyo International Film Festival, it was hard sometimes not to liken the collections to films. Theatre Products had "A Passage to India" theme in its collection of traditional Indian embroidery and linen fused with European lace and modern commercialism (one model cradled a giant bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin).
The gray-haired curiosity-seekers assembled by the Tea Party's Wonder Woman, Michele Bachmann, in D.C. is part of the GOP purge that plays well on cable TV. But that's not the party's biggest threat. The gathering of Tea Party sorts on Capitol Hill to...
Rock dinosaurs U2 shocked Berlin residents by erecting a wall to block the view of their free concert celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Though MTV characterizes the twelve-foot metal fence, which is draped with an opaque white tarp, as a temporary security measure, the good folks in East Berlin are understandably peeved. The barrier effectively blocks the view of...
Yankees supporters were out in force last night, and a few Twitter-Wood citizens were right by the field uploading pics. Brody Stevens may have shot the most enviable of the day, apparently getting soon-to-be-MVP Hideki Matsui in the dugout before the game. Jeremy Piven caught another high-quality photo-op, though, standing with his fellow Chicagoan Brian [...]

From: Fox, Ashley To: Brookover, Bob; McLane, Jeff Re: Super Five There was a lot of blather yesterday at the NovaCare Complex about how Donovan McNabb has evolved into the vocal leader in the Eagles locker room now that everyone who came before him - Tra Thomas, Jon Runyan, Brian Dawkins, to name a few - is gone. With McNabb in his 11th year here, isn't that as it should be? He is the old head.
Call them "cult classics." "Guilty pleasures." "Comfort movies." We all have a mental rolodex of flicks that may not be terribly popular but, for one reason or another, they resonate in a very special way. Maybe you saw it at the right moment. Maybe you just see gold where everyone else sees feces. Whatever the [...]
I’ve often made the assertion that quality video production is important for successful online video marketing. Sure, some viral videos aren’t the most professional when it comes to the video production aspects, but, if you plan to produce your own videos for marketing your business, why not shoot for the best. Several months ago, I stumbled upon [...] This is a post from ReelSEO Video...
We finally watched Anvil: The Story Of Anvil last week. Anvil is a seminal heavy metal band that enoyed a brief burst of fame with their album "Metal On Metal" in the early 1980s. They influenced everyone in that genre, basically, but their influence never translated into commercial success. Incredibly, they kept recording, and they've been releasing records in virtual obscurity for the last...

If you weren't at either, don't worry. We've got Chanos's eye-opening presentation right here. "You should also note, in homage to Spinal Tap , that my list 'does eleven!'" Chanos says. Find out...
James Taranto: It looks as if we were right on Wednesday when we suggested that the Democrats had written off Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee for a special election to a New York state House seat tomorrow, and were waging a two-man race against the Conservative, Doug Hoffman. It was a busy weekend for Scozzafava, as the Washington Post reports. On Saturday, she dropped out of the race, and...
