Well, I guess someone forgot to tell Detroit the NBA Finals were over (and it was nice of Lindsey Hunter to climb out of the grave for a few 4th quarter possessions). Like much of the viewing public I assumed the Spurs had this thing locked up, and I could shift my focus to baseball for the rest of the summer. Apparently the Pistons had other ideas. I will say this about Larry Brown's boys - they have a tremendous amount of intestinal fortitude. The Spurs have a real problem on their hands in Game 7 (The last Finals Game 7? 1994...just days after a certain Hall of Fame running back got into a tad bit of trouble). Post-game highlight last night: Rasheed wore the championship belt over his shoulder at the press conference (after coming up huge late in the 4th). Last thought, what the hell was San Antonio doing planning a victory parade the day of a possible Game 7?
Speaking of baseball, the Yankees won 20-11 last night (after being down 10-2) by scoring 13 runs in the 8th. Kudos for the amazing comeback fellas, but maybe Randy Johnson shouldn't get knocked out of a start against the Devil Rays after giving up 7 runs in 3 IP.
This Bernie Ecclestone guy cracks me up. In case you missed it, he's the 74 year old head of Formula One racing who, one minute after complimenting Danica Patrick on her 4th place finish at the Indy 500, said that he has always felt women "should be all dressed in white like all the other of the domestic appliances." If that wasn't classic enough, he apparently called Patrick Saturday morning, and then repeated the exact same thing to her. Hey Bernie, I got a joke for you:
What do you do when the dishwasher breaks?
Slap the bitch.
There is no doubt in my mind that Jamie Foxx's new movie Stealth will bump Graveyard Shift from the #2 slot on GTB's list of Worst Movies Ever (I think we all know what #1 is).

TJ, "when the dishwasher STOPS"--that's the joke.
ReplyDeleteworse than Gattaca?
ReplyDeleteNot over here it ain't.
ReplyDelete1. The Ring
ReplyDelete2. Graveyard Shift
3. Gattaca
What about Rebound?
ReplyDeleteRebound looks The 6th Man bad. Stealth looks Iron Eagle IV bad.
ReplyDeleteAnother one for lower on the list is Ladder 49. Watched that last night. What a steaming pile of poop.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Rebound?
ReplyDeleteI was gonna suggest "Rebound"...
ReplyDeleteMartin Lawrence could dominate this list:
ReplyDeleteRebound
National Security
Black Knight
What's the Worst That Could Happen?
Life
Steel Magnolias?
ReplyDeleteEnglish Patient?
ReplyDeleteBioDome
ReplyDeleteoh, and I caught Love Don't Cost A Thing the other night. Wow. so bad. the african-american version of Can't Buy Me Love. seriously, exact same plot line and story. exact. but I watched it through to see how badly that they could rip off the original. this was a train wreck. the original was so good. this was terrible.
ReplyDeleteanything with Pauly Shore just oozes original comedy.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Swint so racist?
ReplyDeleteSteel Magnolias wasn't that bad...
What? Who said that?
I mean, it was some of Tom Skeritt's best work...
Tom Skerrit's best work came on Cheers as Evan Drake.
ReplyDeleteSwint - Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts (before she was famous) and Daryl Hannah - how can a guy not love that combination?
ReplyDeleteShut your mouth, TJ. His work as Commander Mike Metcalf is clearly his magnum opus. This is not up for debate.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I also enjoyed the scene in "Poison Ivy" where he buries his face in Drew Barrymore's crotch. That was good times...
And don't sleep on Dylan McDermott's work... And seriously, what is Olympia Dukakis? Chopped liver? She was nominated for an oscar for Moonstruck. She couldn't walk down the street in 1988.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Rebound?
ReplyDeleteI get jokes.
ReplyDeleteOlympia Dukakis...I can't even remember what she looks like.
ReplyDeleteDo you own an old leather purse?
ReplyDeleteOuch. Poor girl.
ReplyDeletelisten, as someone who could be portrayed as enjoying flicks that are marketed towards the female population, I have to draw a line somewhere. Steel Magnolias is one of those lines. I also hate the Bridget Jones movie. well, it really comes down to any movie that is about empowering women or women thinking that they can exist and be fine without men.
ReplyDeletesome may call that chauvinistic or sexist, but I call it realism.
I didn't care for the brigette jones movie either.
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, let's be honest: Stella got her groove back by turning herself into a whore.
ReplyDeleteBridget Jones was about sending the message to women that they don't need men?? All I saw was a pathetic woman with no self-respect obsessed with a few extra pounds that no one could see and her player boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteSo is that what you don't like? Women thinking they don't need men? Did I misunderstand? I think I need a man to explain this to me....
Well, we're not men...trust me...
ReplyDeleteNot? What then? Boys?
ReplyDeletewell, the whole concept that women can get along without men is a bit preposterous. who would they be friends with? women (or maybe just girls) have maybe one or two close friends. why? in my opinion, it is b/c women are not nice to each other and very jealous by nature. while there are exceptions to every rule, this seems to be the norm...that is, if we're just postulating and making overiding generalizations about half of the population.
ReplyDeletebut I have no stats to back this up. sorry, jerry.
one or two close female friends, that is.
ReplyDeleteJerry has Rob Neyer on retainer. Just give it a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was making this up:
ReplyDeleteNEW YORK - An attempt to erect the world's largest popsicle in a city square ended with a scene straight out of a disaster film — but much stickier.
The 25-foot-tall, 17 1/2-ton treat of frozen Snapple juice melted faster than expected Tuesday, flooding Union Square in downtown Manhattan with kiwi-strawberry-flavored fluid that sent pedestrians scurrying for higher ground.
Firefighters closed off several streets and used hoses to wash away the sugary goo.
I think you are right on some levels about most women not having very many female friends...the trouble with being friends with men was perfectly demonstrated in the movie "When Harry Met Sally". I know I don't have any guy friends where there isn't some amount of sexual tension going on...but maybe that is just me.
ReplyDeleteNone of us have that problem.
ReplyDeleteJerry: No female friends
Swint: No sexual tension
Geoff: Broke the tension by hooking up with them already.
For the record, I agree with Swint, despite his shoddy, stat-less case.
Jerry I will be your friend. Swint too, you do like girls don't you? And Geoff - maybe we already met??
ReplyDeleteProbably. I have a general rule that if we've met, you're female, and I like you in any way, shape or form, I have a self-imposed 96 hour window in which to try to hook up with you.
ReplyDeleteGTB has made a match...Chuck, tell the lucky couple what they've won.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, no GTB post has ever had this many comments. From bad movies to chick movies to what makes women tick...who knew...
ReplyDeleteWhat about Rebound?
ReplyDeleteShit...walked right into that...
ReplyDeleteLet's end on this:
ReplyDeleteA baby born with a third leg in Detroit is being called a one-in-a-million case by her doctors, according to a Local 6 News report.
Her name: Tripod
(Ok I made that last part up)
chandy, I can understand that you don't have guy friends w/o sexual tension. no offense, but you're a hot potato. (or, as DQ would say, potatoe)
ReplyDeleteI think that the only way to not have some sort of sexual tension with a female friend is if she is married. That line causes a change in attitude towards the woman for me. My friends' girlfriends are off-limits as well, but we probably shouldn't broach that subject here at GTB.
yes, I do like women, although they haven't seemed to like me for the last year or so.
Well, thanks and YOU can spell Potato anyway you like.
ReplyDeleteGolf clap for playing nice.
ReplyDeleteTJ/Michale--It IS blog sweeps week--might be time to really hash out that story over the internet. And come on, TJ will be married soon anyways.
