I'd like to attribute boxer Arturo Gatti's success to the fact that he left Montreal and moved to Jersey City. But hard work might have something to do with it, too.

Court Rules Sperm Donor Must Pay Support
I guess it's "her body" and "a woman's choice" only until she realizes she can't pay for the goddamn kids. Then it's "their kids" and "their responsibility".

Unfairenheit 9/11: The lies of Michael Moore

Ping Pong
I caught this Japanese movie on a Singapore Airlines flight a year or two ago, thinking I might get to see some decent ping pong playing. I was right, but I had no idea that I'd be watching an incredibly uplifting movie that is - get this - explicitly about hero worship. And it's directed very slickly by a guy who did CGI on Titanic. I recommend you find some way to find the DVD (e.g., eBay) and buy it immediately. There's a good review on the IMDB, but stop reading when you get to the paragraph that starts with "But! The payoff is another thing" - after that a spoiler is given. Here's another site with a brief review. (Looks like the official site is only in Japanese.)

Stern belongs on radio just as much as Rush
by Roger Ebert
Except for the irrelevant, and stupid, part about the consolidation of media, Ebert is right on. Actually, "feminazi" isn't such a bad term, either.

Without exaggeration, Sports Night is one of the greatest half hours of television of all time. More like MASH than Seinfeld in its combination of comedy and drama, it's one of the most inspiring and well-written shows that ever was. Too bad most people have never seen it. Buy this DVD box set now.

This Tribute to the Ramones is actually pretty damn good. Decent covers by the Chili Peppers, Kiss, Rancid, Rob Zombie, Green Day, Garbage; even the very gay sounding version of Beat on the Brat by U2 isn't bad.

Kids Say the Darndest Things About Classic Video Games
About the game Pong:
John: By the way, is this supposed to be tennis or Ping-Pong?
Becky: Ping-Pong.
Gordon: It doesn't even go over the net. It goes through it. I don't even think that thing in the middle is a net.
Tim: My line is so beating the heck out of your stupid line. Fear my pink line. [Misses ball] Whoops.
John: Tim, how could you miss that? It was going like 1 m.p.h.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes do it again, sort of. Not a great album, but still worth buying. You gotta love punk covers of pop songs like "Nothing Comapres 2 U", "I Believe I Can Fly", and a Cars-esque version of "I'll Be There".
8/18/03

I was sad to hear that Gregory Hines died today. Not only could that guy freakin' dance, but he always seemed to radiate a dignified, contented self-confidence. Check out this mostly-overlooked movie, Good Luck. Ignore what the cynical bastard at Amazon says about it - it's a good, funny, buddy/roadtrip movie worth seeing a few times.
8/10/03

Yet another great CD from Aimee Mann. I can listen to this CD repeatedly, and I only need to skip one song ("Superball").

...don't know much about his book, but he brought a smile to my face last night on his radio show when he talked extensively about The Fountainhead. I'll forgive him for pronouncing Ayn Rand's first name "Ann" since he did call her a genius. (As she put it, her name rhymes with "mine".)
