Tomorrow
atlanta and chicago are also decent places to go. atlanta has cnn and chicago has some big media outlets if new york doesn't work out. He's already established that he doesn't want to work in the news industry. And what's in Chicago besides Oprah and Dr. Phil? Good luck, man.

Cloverfield
AKA 1-18-08 & Cloverfield Those who went to go see Transformers, this was the one that looked like a cross between Blair Witch and Godzilla. Written by Drew Goddard, executive producer of Lost. http://www.1-18-08.com I'm not even sure it's a real movie. Nobody knew about it until the trailer came out during Transformers.

For the other Cubans on the site
Most people that wear these shirts don't have a clue who the person is, i'm surprised people haven't started wearing shirts with Hitler on it yet. Stupid people. Wearing Nazi symbols is much worse, imo.

2007 All-Star Selection Show
Every team should be represented. The only way I'd be against it is if the fans don't vote for the starters. But, seeing as they do, it can't ever be a true 'all-star' game. Which is why all teams should be represented.

I'm still puzzled by the Hanley "error." In fact, I don't quite understand it.

I saw two great film noirs today
Double Indemnity (1944) and Sunset Boulevard (1950) Both films of Billy Wilder. The former possibly my favorite movie ever. Such a great and unique genre (some would argue it's a sub-genre for crime films). Too bad this genre is all but extinct (Sin City being the notable exception).

Overrated Movies
Casablanca (my dad is obsessed with this film) I know this is an opinion thing but come on. It's responsible for several of the most famous quotes in movie history, it's easily one of the most watchable movies of those considered classic, it doesn't waste any time(Clocking in under two hours) every moment of the movie is advancing the central plot unlike other classics, and it's the seminal film of the consensus greatest actor to ever live. Casablanca is the perfect piece of art that is both great and highly entertaining. Marlon Brando was in Casablanca? :blink: Bogart is widely considered to be the greatest actor ever (by critics and such.)

I've never actually met a person who's pro-Fidel. I don't know how I would have reacted, so I'd probably not say anything.

Entourage
I wonder if this show is starting to fall off. I still love it but this thread is kinda sending me a message. Drama and Turtle were classic as usual and it was interesting to see E and Vince not agree on the movie. I just don't see how Medillin would fail in the box office because it has so much appeal. Spanish people would watch the movie as well as Americans who love violence, drugs and an organized crime story. Even if the movie sucked it would still make a lot of money. Plus the studios already know that Vince can act so I don't get why they are waiting to give him offers. It's not backed by a major studio (marketing, marketing, marketing). The chances of it making a lot of money at the box office are slim.

I'd be more worried about arepa and empanada ads.

Unsolved Mysteries to return!!
The host (Robert Stack) was a vital part of the show. For it to succeed, it needs a host that can scare the crap out of you, but will also be your best friend throughout the telecast. Any nominations?

FIU Students
UPDATE: Looks like it has finally happened. Over a dozen sculptures were removed yesterday including the four statues that were sitting on the couches in GC by the entrance. Here's the news story: It seemed the perfect crime: over a dozen of sculptures worth millions of dollars disappeared overnight from University Park. While yellow tape marked the space where Michael Heizer's Elevated, Surface and Depressed sculpture of three volcanic rocks used to lay next to the Green Library, other works such as George Segal's Three People on Four Benches sculpture of three white figures in the Graham Center seemed to have vanished leaving behind no signs of ever even being there. The 19 sculptures and installations removed last week from UP are part of the Margulies Z. Collection loaned to FIU more than a decade ago. Some of these sculptures had become landmarks of FIU and the Frost Art Museum usually carried tours of the sculpture park for visitors and school groups. Although by the time of publication the University had issued no official statement about the removal of the sculptures, Maydel Santana-Bravo, director of FIU's media relations, said in an interview that Margulies decided it was time to take the sculptures to a different location and give them more exposure after loaning them to FIU for more than 10 years. "I don't know how long this has been in discussion, but sculptures of this value don't get carried out overnight," Santana-Bravo said. Marta De La Torre, interim director for the FIU's Frost Art Museum, said that the museum was notified a few weeks ago that approximately 18 sculptures would be removed. "Mr. Margulies did not give a reason for ending his loan and we do not speculate as to his motivations," De La Torres said in an email. According to Katherine Hinds, curator of the Margulies Z. Collection, Margulies had been considering recovering some of the sculptures sometime this summer. "We had a great experience at FIU and after other universities showed interest in having some of the sculptures, we decided to relocate them after more than a decade [of having them there]," Hinds said. According to Hinds, the FIU's sculpture park was the third largest university collection after University of California and University of Pennsylvania. The sculptures will be relocated at different universities including University of Miami, University of Florida and Miami-Dade College. Among the sculptures being relocated is Eight Unit Cube, a white aluminum cube by conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, which stood between GC and Primera Casa. Another one is Charles Ginnever's Hangover welded metal sculpture behind GL, which will go to MDC's Kendall campus. Other sculptures will go back to Margulies' warehouse in Wynwood in preparation for an exhibition which will open in September titled Sculpture: 1940 throu the Present. While some art students suggested Margulies was taking the sculptures because FIU did not provide proper maintenance to the sculptures, Hinds denied this. "Sculptures are in good condition by all standards. All maintenance specifications for the loan were met at its highest level," she said. FIU's Faculty Senate Chair Bruce Hauptli, who plans to brief the senate about the relocation of the sculptures during the Steering Committee meeting this week, said that he has been hearing the rumors, including that Margulies had some concerns regarding the amount of publicity and recognition accorded to the sculpture park. However, he said there is not much substance supporting them. "The items belonging to Mr. Margulies are on loan to the University?€?.he is free to reassign these pieces to other location at any point," Hauptli said in an email. "The reassigned pieces will be missed, but we should be appreciative of his willingness to share elements of his collection with us. "The sculptures are invaluable. Without them, the university is just a bunch of buildings," said Associate Art Professor Pip Brant. According to Hinds, it's hard to know whether the sculptures will ever return to FIU, adding that the best thing about being involved in the art world is that you don't have answers about the future. She did reassure, however, that the popular Tony Rosenthal Marty's Cube, which students traditionally rotate for good luck, will stay at FIU. This really sucks. I never knew they were on loan.

Which Director Has the Best Top 5 Movies?
How do you expect us to answer if we don't agree with the top five you've selected? That doesn't suprise me, you've shown your affection for Kubrick far too many times in the past. Pick from the poll (or not), then make your own list on this thread. The poll was meant to be a guideline.

Freaks and Geeks
Really sad when you finish watching it and you know it's over. Damn NBC and their absolute horrid handling of the show same thing that plagued another favorite of mine: Firefly. Airing episodes out of order, pre-empting it, cancelling it before the end of the whole season. What a joke and its no secret why NBC is the shittiest network. Firefly was on FOX. NBC renewed Friday Night Lights. I'm on their good side at the moment.
