  1. I dont care for movies too much, unless it is good. And this was great! Really, the story, the sets, the acting. I thought it would be more of a kids story, I brought my 8 year old daughter, but it is just fantastic. Think Amelie, visually, with 3D that finally works. Sasha Cohen (BORAT) was good too. Wondering if anyone else saw it and there thoughts? Try to see it in the theatre if you can- wont regret it As a point of refernece, I hated the last two Woody Allen flicks, esp that "midnight in paris"
  2. saw them sunday night in Hoboken. No idea who they were, but they were the headline band to close out the night. the lead singer is intense with great style, the drummer carries the band- simply awesome. hope i can see them play again, i was lucky. Crystal castles next please!!
  3. I am torn on this as well. I cant stand the Pats-- rooted hard for the Giants to end their perfect season-- now the Giants are my second favorite team. The Jets-- I have rooted for after the bills season is over (cause im in this area, and come week 7- Im thinking about draft picks. I agree the goal for every team should be to win the super bowl. But the Jets swagger and bravado without winning a regular season game is horrible. Glad the Ravens won big time in the new Giants stadium. I want a tie.
  4. I would try "Second City". Been to the one in Toronto and it was great.
  5. I saw this shirt today!! This was the best post and internet subject I've seen on the web in the last year. Funniest stuff ever.
  6. Two places. Dubliner-- Ive been going the last 5 to 6 six years. Downstairs. I like it. There is a Hoboken Bills Backers-- they used to meet at a bar near City Hall, but they just moves-- Its called "Northern" something, I think its on first street, near Madison and Monroe. I might check it out.
  7. I've sit in section 214 a number of times and quite like the set up on the Jim Kelly side. Is it similar on the Paul Maguire side, with the TV's inside with all the games? Does anyone have a preference, one side vs the other. Thanks!!
  8. I like 16. just enough. The last few years when we are finally elimated in the first week of December, only watch a couple of weeks to see whos gonna stay on the roster and then we are in playoff season. Could you imagine trying to sell out these additional games in Buff, or even better Detroit. Thoughts??
  9. if the moth has a show-- definately a cool NY experience. check out themoth.org. they are pretty cheap too. A lso, you may want to try Carolines in the city for a cheap commedy show if possible. I went 2 weeks ago, my friend was performing a new talent night-- it was like $5, show started at 6:30 or 7. they had like 10 people perform. Some kicked a@@ others bombed, but it was cool
  10. I'm going. Ive gone 8 of the last 9 years to the jet Buffalo game in Buffalo. My friends (somey Jet fans) love going to Buffalo, the excitement, Christmas day atmosphere. They want to go to Toronto-- have to obligue, want to keep the tradition going. They are looking forward to seeing another city. Hey why not? Anyone got good recommendations on what to see or do. We are going up Thursday and coming back Sunday.
  11. If they do this-- I wont watch another NFL game-- ever. THe NFL is a pure American game-- the rest of the world likes soccer. I am not the most patriotic guy, Ive lived in London, married a European--however this just strikes me as wrong-- maybe im at wits end.
  12. Like the Democracy Now! recommendation. Thanks
  13. Looks Ok. I would prefer Sendak-like animation instead. Definately looks a lot more developed than the book-- which I guess is necessary to make a full length film (but if thats the case--why not give it a different name)? The original story Im not sure needs to be corrupted like they have done to so many great Dr. Seuss stories (starring Jim Carey). I think I'll try to introduce my daughter to the original story (that will remain a classic forever).
  14. I like Itunes most of all for the ease of subscription of the podcasts. My favorites-- This American Life. Marketplace (APR), the Moth. Science Times (by the NY Times). Wondering if anyone has any good ones to share? thanks, Paul
  15. Indian-- Jackson Heights Queens-- try Jackson Diner Polish-- Greenpoint, Bklyn--Manhattan Avenue, spend cheap to get the real deal. Italian-- many choices- could go to Bayridge Bklyn, or Queens, or even Hoboken, NJ
  16. As the days wind by and we will be saying goodbye to JP (ie Dave from flight of the concords). Just wondering if anyone thinks the same. Totally an offseason January question with zero relevance to anything other than entertainment (sort of like football). Anyway, if you haven't seen the show or heard the music, heres a good link.
  17. Im going to the game. Im still very upset by the Cleveland and SF losses at HOME. I think the coaching has been horrible since the skid begun and Im still mad at the Dallas mismanaged game last year. Dick has to go. I am rooting for an UN-Win that doesnt kill my main Fantasy team.
  18. because it would make sense to watch our 3rd string QB (potential #2 for next year) -- HOWEVER the bills are used to giving us a product we dont want so it will be Losman instead.
  19. Hello. We got lucky with the Pittsburgh game-- with that JustinTV link. Normally I would go to the bar for the game on NFL network-- but been a bit sick lately-- dont want to leave the house. Does anyone know a link for tonights game? Thanks, Paul
  20. Sid I checked with Texas Arizona (its right near the Path) in Hoboken, they said they are getting the game. I let Liz know as well (Im on her email).
  21. Thought the plot was a little weak. Thought Harrison Ford was very good. Cate Banchett was totally miscast-- she was downright bad. Thought they should have gotten an unknown East European (sort of like Bridgett Nielson was when she was tough in Rocky whatever). Enjoyable film. The jungle chase seen was too long.
  22. At first I thought it was unfair-- but you need to watch it through-- all the way (commit). I dont want to give it away.
  23. Very amusing at times-- very dark. Christina Ricci is in it and is very good. The director and actor-- forgot the name does a great performance. Like the Scott Wood-- ie Norwood tie in. Anyone else see it? What did you think. Overall I'd give it 3 stars, not a feelgood movie for the wife and all-- but for a bills fan-- great.
