The Movie Blog
Just too many to mention! I did love The Godfather trilogy (even Godfather III, which most people felt was not very good). But I propose a new category: "Movies That Never Seem To End." In this list I'd include "Beaches," "I'm Not There" (the one about Bob Dylan), "The English Patient," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (which had an interesting premise, but was just tooo long!).— April 28, 2009 8:48 a.m.
Music Notes...Metallica, Michael Jackson, and a Monkee in the Middle
"Daydream Believer" isn't catchy???? C'mon, I know the Monkees didn't write it (it was written by the late John Stewart), but they did record the most popular version, and it is a VERY catchy song!— March 9, 2009 7:25 p.m.
A sampling of San Diego's vanity license plates
I saw a plate once on a Jaguar that said JAGOFF, and I also saw one that said BOOBS - I'm surprised those got through! And I read a story about a car (in another state) that had the license plate JEW PEW. An observer (who was not Jewish) complained to DMV about that one, and the owner voluntarily gave it up. It turns out that the seemingly derogatory comment was only the initials of a guy and his wife!— February 25, 2009 9:53 p.m.
Let's Get Physical -- with Newton-John!
Great article, because I was able to show it to my husband and use it as an excuse for not exercising!— February 15, 2009 3:29 p.m.
Leaving Off the Airplane
This is a really tough issue. I believe it is a religious directive for Muslims (women, at least) to wear headscarfs. Therefore, except for places where they are specifically prohibited (i.e. DMV), they should be allowed to wear them. And, except for direct threats or highly offensive comments (subject to interpretation, which of course is another can of worms), they should be allowed to talk about whatever subject they wish, including where to sit on an airplane. On the other hand, I have to admit that I would be among the first to get jittery if I heard such a conversation from someone dressed in traditional Muslim fashion. It may not be fair, but events in recent years have caused many of us to "profile" people. I feel for the Muslim people, the vast majority of whom are law-abiding people, but I don't see things changing any time soon.— January 4, 2009 4:04 p.m.
Top 50 Movie Characters
Out of 50 characters listed, only 3 were female!! I guess that shows how many good rolls are available for women, doesn't it?— December 17, 2008 3:25 p.m.
A San Diego Sinner in Dear Abby
First of all, I thought Abby was right on with her thong comment. They are uncomfortable! Secondly, one thing to do in Galveston is bail out water from hurricanes. Thirdly, those mannequins are a heck of a lot smaller than 36-24-36! And lastly, talking to mannequins is ok - but if they answer back, watch out!— November 22, 2008 3:07 p.m.
Jack in ze Box...Schnell!!
Bravo to you, Josh! I wish more people would stand up to these racists and anti-Semites. They are offensive to people of all races and religions. Thank you for standing up to those obnoxious people!— October 25, 2008 5:17 p.m.
The Girl You Want
While I can't argue that you would have more memories with an older child, I still feel that the loss of a younger one would be equally devastating emotionally.— October 1, 2008 12:07 p.m.
The Girl You Want
I understand your point, but I must disagree. Although a child's personality does not manifest itself at such an early age, once you hold that warm baby in your arms, a bonding occurs that would make any loss devastating. Gotta side with your girlfriend on this one!— October 1, 2008 8:48 a.m.
