It was 1999 when Jim started this site; wow. I remember using blogger in the early days, and agonizing when it went down at inconvenient times. I trust this has no implications for our content at this point..?

Previously unaware of Period of Adjustment, Tennessee Williams serious comedy. An odd lot in the casting dept and an odd time in the post Korean war pre Beatles suburban American south. wiki / imdb on Tcm this morning.
ya know how they always try to sell movie by proclaiming "from the director that brought you..." well i just saw an ad for battleship that went with "from hasbro the company that brought you transformers" in an effort to tie it to that franchise.

was listening to david cross on the wtf podcast today. he has had his credibility called into question for doing voiceover work on the alvin and the chipmunks movies but as they have grossed over a billion dollars and provided him with a lifetime of f.u. money, i think he can live with his decision. and as it turns out two of these were written by a high school friends brother (ive mentioned this before i know) who also wrote both kung fu panda movies. he also wrote the animated monsters vs. aliens. these are his five movie credits, total domestic gross over 900 million and 2.4 billion worldwide. he is now the 28th highest domestic grossing writer of all-time. his first non-animated film is in pre-production with freaks & geeks co-creator and bridesmaids director paul feig behind the camera.
clasico!
barcelona faces off against real madrid today at 2est. with a win barcelona can pull within a point of real but with only 5 games to go they would need madrid to lose or tie another game to have a chance at the title.
meanwhile both teams lost their away games in the champions league semi-finals making their meeting up in the finals of that tournament unlikely at this point.
game today is on goltv but streaming at espn3.
Exactly 200 years after their last semi-successful attempt at razing Washington, D.C., the British are finally back to finish the job with Veep. A funny, transatlantic fusillade of the first order, the new HBO comedy — debuting this Sunday night at 10 p.m. ET — smartly takes aim at the softest target in the capital: the vice presidency. Needless to say, it doesn’t miss.

espn launched a new page today to replace their recently retired page 2. this one is called playbook and will focus on sports intersecting with culture, specifically fandom, gaming, pop culture and money. not sure what the difference is between what its replacing, more a rethinking and rebranding effort.
the champions league semifinals snuck up on me. today is the first round matchup between bayern munich and real madrid while chelsea takes on barcelona tomorrow.
