The Weekend Wrap
Things we learned:
- Honestly, you could like his prequels and argue the merits over whether or not George Lucas is a great filmmaker, but I put him in the “Will Smith” category, that son of a bitch knows how to make money (people always downplay Will Smith’s acting & rapping talents, but the guy has loot, twice over in 20 years in the business). He made $17 million in the midnight showings alone, $50 million on Thursday total and weekend numbers were up over $100 million, the next 11 movies at the box office this weekend barely totaled $50 million together. I am going to see Lucas’s latest installment later today and I for one am very excited and will happily fork over my money, maybe even twice rather than seeing Monster in Law or Kicking & Screaming!!!
- Yes it was official; it has been 10 years since this overweight lad strolled the halls of The Castle on the Hill and graduated from the immortal Teaneck High School. There was a reunion Saturday night to prove it. I was unable to attend but I heard everyone had a good time. I hope that some people from sed reunion will become loyal readers of “The Wisdom” (that is what the kids are calling it these days) because they might have some funny an intriguing insights like Yurrie the Fucking Giant, Deuceluv, and D Rich.
- Martin, no matter how much you want to think or believe so we still own your ass and the city so nice they named it twice. The Yankees waltzed into fabled (ha-ha) Shea Stadium and promptly took 2 of 3 from the Metropolitans, proving once again that they are still the City’s number 1 team.
Things I liked:
- When I am right, and this weekend I received some affirmation that for once I was actually correct. Albeit only one game, many pundits believe that the difference in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals was the play of Brent Barry. And they all agree that this type of play from him is what the Spurs need off their bench in order to win the NBA Championship. During last summers free agent period I raved about how this was the steal of the signing period, the missing piece for the Spurs to return to championship glory. I was of course scoffed at by Dan Filowitz (A Great Jew):
The Spurs will not win unless they find an energy-booster like Stephen Jackson. Duncan is too even-keeled, and Parker and Ginobli are too foreign to rally the team when they are under duress. That is why they lost to the Lakers in the playoffs. I don't think that man is Brent Barry. We shall see Dan who proves to be right in this sorted affair. But I still believe Barry’s overall game is the spark the Spurs need of the bench to get Parker, Ginobili, and Bowen rest.
Things I disliked:
- Those freaking Middle Eastern dirtbags who were trying to attack Laura Bush. I do not have a whole lot to say about this, but it makes them look like complete idiots when they do shit like that, I guess it is kind of like when an American rants and raves about how much he hates foreign people…….wooops, my bad!!
- The season Finale of Desperate Housewives was this weekend. Now, while I have never seen the show and never plan on it, I know that it already has jumped the shark. Here is the tell tale sign that any show has jumped the shark. If in a season finale something happens where people get shot or a gun is involved and the show has nothing to do with cops and/or soldiers that show has gone off the deep end. In fact this also happened in The OC this past week on their season Finale. These shows are just fucking terrible and then they tried to heighten the dramatic by pulling shit like this.
- And in other TV Network News CBS and that genius Les Moonves has decided to cancel the best show on Television, Joan of Arcadia. The second season was not as sharp as the first, but they boldly went on to tackle new and racier subject matter. In its first season it was nominated for 3 Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and a won the ASCAP Award for best television show, and a year later it is cancelled? Huh, how is that again? There must be some new reality show coming out that they have to make room for. No, Kris they are coming out with a new show starring Jennifer Love-Hewitt called; Ghost Whisperer, will revolve around the life of a young newlywed (Love-Hewitt) who can communicate with the dead. Haven’t we seen this show before? Didn’t Anthony Michael Hall make a show like this and the same with Eliza Dushku? And what about that dude who had his own talk show who would communicate with the dead?
OLD SCHOOL RAP LYRIC OF THE WEEK:
You're rollin up smilin, but you can't come close
Cos my system is pumpin loud
Like Rakim said: I wanna move the crowd
I warm it up with Kane, fight the power with PE
Tell the cops: you gots to chill with EPMD
This is something devastatin that'll break your trunk
And remember, Uncle L is like the future of the funk
Name the artist and song title and win a prize.

Was that Momma Don't Your Babies Grow to Be Cowboys by Willie Nelson?
The Mets gave them that game on Sun. 2 gimmie errors in the 8th.
So happy to hear many over-confident Yankee fans. Your team is not that good and there more then a great chance you will finish in 3rd place in the East this year. Your best pitcher is done. He's got nothing left. We're a few holes away from being dominant. Good luck with that farm system, and oh yeah that $80 mil paper weight at 1B....
Hey,
Remeber when you're Mom and Dad were here this weekend and they made food for us on Sunday? That was cool.
TINA, COME GET SOME HAM!!!!!!
Wow...
Yes, the Yanks still control New York, like they always have, but I coulda swore that both teams played the same over the three games, except my team didn't take advantage of the errors like the Yanks did.
All you Yankee fans are having too much thoughts about my team. We play in the National League and in case no one told you, I could care less about you guys. Ask Kris, even in the 2000 World Series, I already knew what was going to happen.
I'm fighting back not for all Mets fans because there are idiots that think differently and call WFAN with stupidity, but I'm writing about the fact you dumb bastards used my name, called me specificly out.
FUCK ALL Y'ALL!!!
There, with that being said, I'd like to agree with the Star Wars talk.
If it came out by itself, the intelligent movie fan would have walked out when Ainikan and Padma were talking about love before he switched sides. Overall, the writing was absolutely dreadful, but the battle scenes made the average movie watcher forget.
The only redeeming quality is the fact that it connects everything with a nice pretty bow and after seeing this, it makes me realize that the Phantom Menace really wasn't that bad...
Brent Barry is a bum and nearly sunk my fantasy basketball league with his spotty play and I really don't want to see Spurs-Pistons, but guess what folks, that's what we're going to get.
And at last, the reunion. What can I say besides I'm going to remember the fact that there are people that might die remembering me as a zoologist and that brings a smile to my face. Dan and Josh, you were there...
JOAN EMBRY OUT.
