  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. 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.

  3. 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

  4. Cue the crickets hopefully......

     

    My best friend is a Jets fan. I obvoiusly am a Bills fan. We've made the Jets-Bills game in Buffalo 17 years in a row, since we've been 20 yrs old. We aren't going this year. It'll be a could day in hell before I personally help that game sellout.

     

    True story.

     

     

    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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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

  7. I have been reluctant to see it because I figured that it would be unfair to the Scott Norwood type character. Is that not true?

     

     

    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.
