just to clarify...

I wasn't saying I hated Grizzly Man, I was trying to do Horatio Sanz' semi-brilliant impression of Gene Shalit reviewing a movie using exclusively bad puns. I couldn't think of any cowboy puns so I went with bears. Interesting how without vocal inflection or visuals, impressions really don't work too well. I bet Gene Shalit hated Grizzly Man, though, for the record. Oh, and in other "Brokeback"-as-cultural-flashpoint-news, Larry Miller, the owner of the Utah Jazz (easily one of the more detestable NBA teams ever) is refusing to show the movie in his Salt Lake City megaplex. In the "Revenge is a Bitch" category, this is awesome-man catches mouse, throws mouse into pile of burning leaves, mouse catches fire and runs back into man's house, burning it to the ground. Last night I had a basketball game up in the west hills, as I came around a corner on Mayberry St, I happened upon a view of town more amazing than any I had seen so far of Portland. The city's tallest building was slightly to the left of center, Burnside Ave ran straight off into the distance and the whole city just spread out in every direction, lights everywhere and it was of course pouring rain. I literally stopped my car in the middle of the street it was really breathtaking. I'm going back up there this week with a camera.

did you ever see Incident at Loch Ness? It got really mixed reviews but I thought it was totally awesome and goofy...
