The big yawn
Aug. 26th, 2008 12:41 pm( ZZZZZZZZZZ )
I saw a really good movie on DVD the other day - "Silver City" - it's a John Sayles film, a bit of a political mystery, with Chris Cooper channeling the former governor of Texas. Billy Zane and Miguel Ferrer are in it and the script is just wonderful. I just got done re-watching "Your Friends and Neighbors" (I've been waiting for it to come to Netflix). Say what you will about Neil LaBute, but I think he's a genius. He definitely doesn't shy away from anything or feels like he has to go the route of redemption. And sometimes that's a good thing.
Hawks training camp starts in a few weeks (maybe sooner). They've got a great picture before you get into the website of Toews and Kane out there at Wrigley and the tagline - Our Goal: Fly the "W" Flag in January. (It's flown after all Cub victories so the riders on the El know that they won, and since the Jan.1 game is at Wrigley vs. the hated Wings, I'm very much in favor of that statement.)
That's it for now. Off to make lunch and then some more writing or watching highlights from last hockey season (which suddenly seems like a great idea).
