New Conquest of the Planet of the Apes movie

I read on a site last night that Fox is working on a new Planet of the Apes movie, a sort of prequel to the last one with Marky-Mark and Paul Giamatti.It is supposed to take place in modern times, and will be about Caesar leading the ape revolt to overthrow mankind. The one or two sentences made it sound just like the old "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes". Apparently, they are even keeping the original name, Caesar.There's no word on if Tim Burton will direct it. He did the last one in 2001,

JIMMY CLIFF / “Universal Love”

So I get to Jamaica and ask folk who they like. In knowledge terms I’m a baby, so new to reggae, I virtually know nothing except Jimmy Cliff. I had seen and been knocked out by The Harder They Come—thirty-five years later, that movie is still the best intro to reggae, to Jamaica, to the hell blighting the little spots of heaven alleged to be Caribbean paradises, especially that one spot of sand and sun that claims Jah-made-it. But everybody I ask just nod and say, Cliff he good but Bob, man,

The Change is Obama. Obama is the Change. Also, Likely the Walrus

President-elect Obama sure likes inventing symbols that feed his sense of self-importance. During the campaign, he created his own presidential seal, which is kind of a felony, and now he has a big sign on his podium that says “Office of the President-Elect.” I’m just shocked that he didn’t have his people include four exclamation points and a “OMGWTF”  in the sign to inspire that important extra bit of awe.   Small problem. There isn’t an actual “Office of the President-Elect.” Not in the Co

Subtle Prejudice or humor?? Your opinion, please.

I have a good sense of humor, but some things just aren't funny to me. One example was when Liz Taylor gained weight and Joan Rivers, then filling in for Johnny Carson, made 'fat Liz' jokes almost every show. Joan's justification was that she was a celebrity and that made her fair game. Whenever Presidential kids have become a target, generally the President has stepped forward and said hands off, take me on.Recently a spate of Obama 'funnies' have started coming through the mail. One was a vide

Links: What I’m Thankful For…

by Lang Whitaker Today’s the day here in the USA when we gather with friends and families and give thanks for what we have. With the economy the way it is these days, we can all use a mental health break, a day to sit and reflect on what we do have, instead of what we don’t have. I spent the last few days coming up with 50 NBA-related things I’m thankful for. My list is below. Please post your additions in the comments section. Thanks(giving!)… 1. Joe Johnson’s sublime dominance. 2. That I

Knicks Frustration!!

by Susan Price It’s 10:34 and I just walked home from the Garden. The Knicks hosted the Cavs, and all the talk was about LeBron coming here in 2010. From the media in the press room, from the lady selling me my French fries, from the Whoo Hoo guy two rows behind me. (More about him later.) As a Knicks fan for some years now, I’ve been in the Garden for my share of amazing things. Allow me a quick moment to reminisce…Starks dunking on Mike. Reggie’s 8 points in 11 seconds. LJ’s four-point play

Mr Double Down Presents The Hip Drop

Welcome back soul people, I hope the beginning of the new week finds you all well and good? I’ve been pretty tied down of late but have managed to juggle some real life moves to knock up a brand new mix for you all. Today’s selection is a bit of a mixed bag, mainly leaning towards the Rhythm and Blues side of things but there should be something there to hopefully suit all tastes! Kicking things off is a true Hook And Sling favourite, Eddie Bo with ‘Don’t Turn Me Loose’. This is the flip to

Giants O-linemen balance business, pleasure

Hot Not Comprehend Diatribe Text Editor’s note: Michael Silver will not have a Live Trippin’ session on Tuesday, Nov. 25. Live Trippin’ will return on Dec. 2. GLENDALE, Ariz. – There are pranks designed to embarrass your teammates, like making them show up at the Super Bowl with purple-painted shoes. Then there are truly disgusting acts of intra-team treachery, such as putting a charred pig’s head in a lineman’s locker. But a practical joke that makes a prop out of the

BOREALIS CHAR

BOREALIS CHAR Posted by dragonslayer on November 21, 2008 in Fishing stories     It was my first trip to the Ungava peninsula and we were determined to accomplish what nobody with any fishing sense thought possible - catch an Artic char on a dry fly! As guests of a local hunting outfitter who had invited us to evaluate the fly-fishing potential of his territory, we flew in from Montreal on Air Inuit and landed in Kujuuak, formerly known as Fort Chimo. And while it was a mere two hour flight th

The Fundamentals

Johnny Ludden of Yahoo! Sports:  “With O’Neal’s salary no longer clogging their salary cap, the Lakers set about building the league’s deepest roster. They missed the playoffs their first season without Shaq, but that netted them the lottery pick to use on Andrew Bynum. Give credit to Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak and his front-office staff. Kupchak made one mistake, trading Caron Butler to the Washington Wizards for Kwame Brown, and he cleaned that up last season when Brown helped land Pau Gasol. Af

Immoral Parenting: Religion

I grew up in a staunchly religious home. It was hell. Practicing vespers was the worst part of it - from Friday at sundown until Saturday, or Sabbath, at sundown there was no television, no shopping, no secular activities permitted. We were to rest and reflect on the Lord and all he’d done for us in the previous week. I was never allowed to attend dances and rarely to listen to any music other than gospel, which may explain my early affinity for Sam Cooke, Al Green and Mahalia Jackson. If it wa

Can’t Win for Losing

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the San Diego Chargers 11-10 yesterday–good. It was the first 11-10 game in NFL history–interesting. And hardly anyone is talking about either of those tidbits. That’s because the big story was the last play of the game, and what did (and didn’t) happen. The Chargers tried one of those Cal-vs-Stanford multi-lateral desperation plays and it didn’t work out. Troy Polamalu knocked down one of the attempted laterals, grabbed the pigskin, and raced to the endzone. Good
