Mr. Saturday Night Blog Special
7:42 - Kyle and I just got back from dinner. Veal Parm and Chicken Frances at Il Forno. That place just isn't the same, and I don't mean better.
7:43 - That brunette in the Caddy CTS commercial is quite lovely.
7:45 - We're watching "About a Boy" as a Celts pre-game. A scene just opened with U2's "Zoo Station" from "Achtung Baby" which Amazon tells me was released over 16 years ago...
8:02 - Cate Blanchett as Russian Irina Spalko was about the best thing in today's matinee of the new Indiana Jones flick. When's the last time Stephen Spielberg made a great film?
8:07 - Sir Stevie's "Munich" (2005) was short of great, so it looks like it's been a decade since "Saving Private Ryan" (1998). Let's hope for some magic with "The Trial of the Chicago 7" due in 2009.
8:25 - My Dad just called. He's got bronchitis, but seems to be doing OK otherwise. He's planning a visit in late June.
8:34 - I can really do without the "Hollywood" introductions of home teams in the NBA. Although the Pistons Chauncey Billups really can do an entrance...
8:42 - Celts up 8-0. That's like the old Sox being in first in May...
8:49 - 13-4 C's, but back to the finish of "About a Boy." The kid is about to sing Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly."
8:52 - Poor kid is getting jeered, but Kyle and I agree Kyle is a vastly superior singer to this kid. Now the cheesy Hugh Grant is on stage with a guitar. Kyle just "Avardra Kadavra'd" the Grant character. Not sure why.
8:57 - 15-12 now, plus KG and Ray Allen are both on their asses with 2 fouls. Time for Kyle's meds a face scrub and bed for the boy...
9:05 - Sam Cassell just threw up a lead brick followed by a Rasheed Wallace second effort bucket. 13-0 run and a 17-15 Pistons lead.
9:43 - While I've been searching for a better Johnny Most clip than this, the Green has built a 19 point lead.
9:46 - While the Pistons are hosting the Celtics, the Red Wings are also home for game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. They're also faring better than the boys from Auburn Hills: Wings 1, the plural of Danny DeVito's character in a "Batman" flick 0.
9:58 - Just saw a promo for a new ripoff ABC series called "Wipeout," that's clearly a fax of the classic MXC, hosted by Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship. Right you are, Ken.
10:29 - Sweet pass by KG and a 22 point bulge!
10:36 - Isn't Coldplay just a U2 tribute band?
10:50 - What is up with Ray Allen in these playoffs? Slump or done?
11:09 - Paul Pierce just fell very awkwardly and so will the Green if he's out.
11:12 - I've never seen "Lost," and the 34 commercials for the "2 hour season finale" won't get me to.
11:13 - The Celtics are trying to give this one away with poor charity stripe shooting.
11:15 - Nope. They picked a good time to snag their first road win of the playoffs. As the "Couz" would say, they "increased the defensive intensity" to win this one.
11:22 - Wasn't that an exciting Saturday night? Uh, yeah.
