Tonight's Guest Backpasser: LB
One of my favourite movies of recent times, and I cannot understand why it seemed to fail so completely and utterly. Pullman and Stiller work surprisingly well together as a idiosyncratic Sherlock Holmes & Watson, the script is fresh, the characters compelling and funny, and you can't go wrong with a soundtrack by the Greyboy Allstars, no sir. As I lie awake with LB jr taking a late-night nap on my belly, I'm reminded of its excellence Plus Bill Pullman drinks Tab! That's just insane!
Anyways, around this time in the early hours of Saturday, July 25, a bunch of us will be stumbling around Baltimore's Inner Harbor. I cannot wait!

Glad you finally got to this.
Nice call, LB - I'm a big fan of that movie, and was confused when it sank through the national consciousness without a ripple. It's not even a cult classic, fergawdssake, and it really ought to be. The whole soundtrack album is fantastic, too.
Ditto on the movie. I could not remember ever hearing anything about the movie, even in passing, when I came across it on one of the Showtime channels, and was instantly hooked. Then made a point of watching it almost every time it cycled through the Showtime schedule for the next month or so...haven't seen it in ages, though. Its got to be due for another cycle through the encore channels by now...
Zero Effect is streaming on Netflix, I'll check it out.
Kudos to the Keeley's suggester as well. Christ on a cracker I got too drunk too early there today. I was the only one in there from two until noon so I had nothing to do but pound.
has said group figured out your pregaming situation for the milan match?
Mr. Aggro -- there will be a post or two on the blog closer to game day with such details.
