MY BOSS JUST CAME AROUND AND TOLD PEOPLE THEY COULD GO HOME EARLY BECAUSE IT'S BAD OUT (BLIZZARD FOLKS!).


(photo of me with Indian Elvis at the St Ann festival in Hoboken)


I looked at her and said, "I'll stick around, no problemo, everybody can leave, I WILL MAN THE FORT!"

She said "Thanks." But what she meant was "Wade, you are soooooooooo AWESOME!"

Enough said.

"HoHoKam Park, Mesa AZ: While Nomar Garciaparra was signing a few autographs after Cubs practice yesterday, he was asked if he was excited about finally getting a World Series ring. Garciparra replied "I don't want it. They can keep it." And he was not joking. " [Via Bostondirtdogs.com]

YOU DON'T DESERVE A RING, YOU BIG BABY!!!!

I am so happy this guy is out of Boston.

Good luck, Cubbies.

ADAM WADE HERE, third annual On-going Oscar Coverage on my blog!




I got a little cold and feel real tired.

Might fall asleep before the night is over.

I'll do what I can.

Let's begin.

The preshow - LET THE ASSKISSING BEGIN

YUCK OF THE NIGHT SO FAR:
Rene Zellweger calling Billy "the creep" Bush "SWEETHEART!"

C'mon.


Selma Hyek looks great!

Okay, it's supposed to begin... c'mon.


Ohhh
Wolfgang Puck sighting.


STAY HERE

WADE'S OSCAR COVERAGE CONTINUES

Yes, this was my first time. I was at my favorite pub and didn't want a burger.

I wanted something healthier.

It was very good! But not as good as my mom's. A little too meaty, not enough vegetables.

P.S.
The service was terrific.

FORGET THE OSCARS-
HERE'S 10 MOVIES YOU SHOULD SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THEM:


My Anti-Oscars Top Ten of movies that I loved growing up.

10) NEIGHBORS
- Belushi is insane. One of the first rated R movies I saw on HBO.

9) Swamp Thing - Adrienne Barbeau in all her glory. I remember seeing this when I was 7, in the morning during February Vacation at my Aunt Dee Dee and Uncle George's. After we (my brother and cousin) watched the movie we ate Pilsbury Cinnemon Rolls.

8) Strange Brew - Rick Moranis is the man. I love this movie. I don't mind when people say I look like Rick Moranis, he gets all the ladies.

7) 9 to 5 - Good Golly Miss Dolly, she's great in this. But But But, Dabney Coleman steals the show. Another early 80's HBO gem.



6) Breakin - Innovative.
Saw this in Hookset, NH shortly before they tore down the movie theater. My Godfather Joe drove me, my brother, and my cousins Marc and Greg to this 'Citizen Kane' of cool.


5)Take This Job and Shove It - Sometimes I wish...

4) They Live - Roddy Roddy Piper is one tough S.O.B. who is out of bubblegum.

Watched this on a Saturday night in High School with my Grandmother and Great Aunt Arety. They loved it and so did I. (Arety used to always make me nachos in high school - they were also incredible.)

3) The Wanderers - Ken Wahl pre-Wiseguy.

50's nostalgia. Plus 'Meat' from 'Porky's' is in it.


2) Eddie and the Cruisers - No Brainer! This is why I live in Jersey.

The first time I saw this was 3rd grade, at our house. My parents, brother, cousins, Aunt Arety, all watched this movie. It was and still is... GREAT!



***1) Cracking Up! Jerry Lewis' finest performance (A Wade family favorite). Probably the hardest to find movie on the list, but... it made Papa Wade laugh hard.

(*** the most quoted movie in the Wade household.)

My buddy Barry (The Magnum PI of NBC Sports) is not here today, but SETH is. Seth is the man. He let me borrow more of his 'Degrassi Junior High'


(Al Trautwig is in the NBC Sports Studio)

I just ate two chicken sandwiches and a Diet Spirte. I am ready for ARENA FOOTBALL (four games today) and... I am ready for the Oscars!!!

Feel like have a little hot chocolate.

Oh do I love having breakfast at Diana's in Hoboken on Saturdays. I am on my way to meet my buddy Jonny.

THESE LADIES ARE THE BEST!

AMY AND PENNY ARE THE BEST!

(so is ANTONETTE - not pictured here)

They know how to show the love!

Why you may ask?

Because I am working hard here in NYC and unable to be in Hoboken and unable to have an... ITALIAN TUNA SANDWICH AT FIORE'S.



(photo: Happier times)

Keep in mind, I am happy to be working. Money in the bank is nice.

But... I'll probably get a ham sandwich today at SUBWAY. There's a big difference.

I love you Italian Tuna.
I miss you Italian Tuna.

...TO PANCAKES!!!!

'HARD WORK DESERVES REWARD!'

I feel so good (though... actually a little bloated).
I had pancakes today for breakfast. I decided to TREAT MYSELF!

No one else is treating me, so... I treated myself. (YES!)

The pancakes at Johnny's diner (home of the Sloppy Johnny - no joke) were awesome. I wish they could've gotten me a glass of water but... hey, you can't get everything.

Now it's back to working hard.

G'day!

COMING SOON:

Wade's MANTRA

Main Entry: man·tra
Pronunciation: 'män-tr& also 'man- or 'm&n-
Function: noun
Etymology: Sanskrit, sacred counsel, formula, from manyate he thinks; akin to Latin mens mind -- more at MIND
: a mystical formula of invocation or incantation (as in Hinduism).

WADE WORKS HARD:
Yes, it is true.
I am working extremely hard.

Had a bagel with jelly today for breakfast (no butter) and two cups of coffee.

Will get back to tea soon. Just NEED coffee right now.

NYC is gonna get some snow tonight/this afternoon.

Can't wait for Spring a ding ding.

Bob Dylan: the times they are a boring
He launched a withering attack on contemporary rock bands saying:

"groups at the top of the charts... are amateurs".

nme.com

BRAVO!

... from Audience Security. Joe is the man! I hope I see him soon. He still owes me a free meal at Johnny Rockets in Hoboken (I haven't forgotten my friend).


Even though Joe is a Yankees fan (he has a Yankees watch that lights up), he's a cool guy.

(There's a rumor Joe beat me at arm wrestling. NO COMMENT! FYI: I can't arm wrestle for at least 4 months. No re-match. It's over pal. I'm done.)

BOBBY'S COMING BACK TO NYC!
Monday -Saturday April 25th-30th at the Beacon Theater - GREAT VENUE!
BOB DYLAN RULES!

Two years ago I went with my friend Janine and it was like GIANT AMAZON night at the HAMMERSTEIN in NYC. I couldn't believe how many tall men and women were there. I couldn't see anything. At least at the Beacon... I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE MAN!

And guess who we bumped into at the Hammerstein... the GREAT JOHN MARSHALL (Big DYLAN FAN!)!


I saw Dylan 4 years ago in New Hampshire - thanks to my brother Matty, who bought the tickets. That was an incredible show. The best I have seen. Not too many TALL people






(Thanks Janine Michaels for the info)

I realize I went with a potty humor winner for CONTEST #1 (MATT SEARS - REDSOXFAN), but here is a chance to win me over with something very funny.

HERE IS THE INTERACTIVE BLOG #2!
Come on!!!!!! Let's see what you got!

DEFINE THIS WORD THE BEST YOU CAN:

AWKWADE

The winner will be announced MONDAY!

(note: special thanks to CVP)

I just read this post on METHODSHOP.COM talking about new iPod shuffle FASHIONS (see photo)

And this morning on the NJ Path Train I saw this guy acting all cool and smooth with his iPod shuffle. A VERY VERY hot girl asked him what the next stop was... he took off his ear plugs and their eyes met. After a brief conversation, they got off at 9th Street and it looked like a love connection.


NOW! I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!
I am going to purchase a CHEAP SET of headphones and a pack of JUICY FRUIT. Oh, look out ladies of Hoboken. This stud (me) is here, he is hip, and he is cheap!

I plan on riding the PATH train with my faux iPod shuffle in hopes that some girl will ask me what the NEXT STOP is. MY answer will be... WADE-VILLE sweetheart. Wanna piece of JuicyFruit?"

Hit my new favorite diner this morning 'Johnny's' at 124 W 25th St. (aka the mystery diner).


Had a corn muffin and two cups of coffee.
I know, this is bad. Double bad.
What happened to the green tea / white tea (search).
I don't know. I am in a semi-downward spiral.
*Though I ate a huge salad last night.

Everything in moderation. I mean I can have a corn muffin once a week right?

HOW'S THE COLD?
Gonna take an Airborn tablet later on in the day. Still feel a little lightheaded. But I'm hanging on.

I am going to dream I am an EMMY winner tonight.


Who will I thank?
'Mom, dad, my brother Matty, the rest of the FAMILY and..."

Well, who's gotten me coffee lately?

Guess who I saw at Kinko's just now on 24th and 7th Ave?

Yep, Carl Weathers was there... making copies. No Dum dum, he wasn't working there he was just... doing his thing. He was making copies and on his cell phone.

I yelled, "Yo Creed!" But he didn't look up.

"You got the eye, the eye of the Tiger."

Still nothing. But a bunch of other people there starting looking at me like I was nuts. It's not my fault they were to stupid to realize Mr. Action Jackson himself, Carl "Crazy" Weathers was amongst us.

Too bad, so sad.

Seriously, this AIRBORN tablets seem to be working.

The only thing is they give you a rush for like an hour and then you're running on empty.


Had a grilled chicken sandwich for lunch in this mini diner on 25th between 7th and 6th Ave (south side of the street). GREAT SANDWICH. I don't know the name of the place, Johnny's? Maybe?

But it was a big sandwich at $5.25. Yes, diner food, but somehow it seemed healthy.

Walking out of there I told the cook/waiter, "That was great! I'll be back!"

Bravo NO NAME DINER, Bravo!

(Victor and "Mona" Lisa get some Winter sun rays, while Wade is stuck doing paperwork in the office.)

Hello from NYC.
A sunny day today. Feel better. Just had another AIRBORN (orange flavored). It sort of tastes like TANG. I love Tang. When I was in elementary school I would get home at three pm, put on Heathcliff (the cartoon) and have a big glass of TANG. Oh, the good old days.

Hello folks.

I am home and not feeling too great. Think I got a cold.

Took an Airborn tablet thing. It helped for like an hour.

Making chicken and rice now with peas.

Trying to take care of myself here.

MEET CORI-

Cori is one of the best! A Hoboken-ite who works hard in TV.

And she plays volleyball.

WADE FUN FACT #456:
I've been on the bus with her a bunch of times.

Eating a ham, egg and cheese on a plain bagel (not toasted) and drinking a coffee.

I am living on the edge.


R.I.P.
GONZO!

'WADE WORKS HARD' TOUR CONTINUES

Yeah! Big day today here at NBC Sports they had eggs and sausages today for breakfast. But I STAYED clear of that stuff. Drinking OJ and Diet Sprite mixed.

I think they are going to have pizza later on... I may have to have a piece.
My friend Barry (see photo) is here today, too. He is a good guy.

My friend Seth gave me a DVD that I am very excited to watch. I promise to let you know more about this DVD soon.

FYI: Tiki Barber is in the studio right now.

Do you remember the 3 point shooting contest at the NBA All Star game in 1988?

My favorite basketball player of all time Larry Bird was incredible that year. I really miss those days. LARRY LEGEND FOREVER!

My good friend Dill up in Keene, NH (who used to drive me everywhere in his hot babe magnet car) still has this on video tape.

Bravo Dill!

I love it!

"Marlon Brando's famous "I coulda been a contenda" speech is such a warhorse by now that a lot of people probably feel they've seen this picture already, even if they haven't. For all its great dramatic and cinematic qualities, and its fiery social criticism, Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront is also one of the most gripping melodramas of political corruption and individual heroism ever made in the United States, a five-star gut-grabber. Shot on location around the docks of Hoboken, New Jersey, in the mid-1950s, it tells the fact-based story of a longshoreman (Brando's Terry Malloy) who is blackballed and savagely beaten for informing against the mobsters who have taken over his union and sold it out to the bosses. (Karl Malden has a more conventional stalwart-hero role, as an idealistic priest who nurtures Terry's pangs of conscience.) Lee J. Cobb, who created the role of Willy Loman in Death of Salesman under Kazan's direction on Broadway, makes a formidable foe as a greedy union leader." [Via Amazon]

WADE SAYS:
I live in Hoboken and after seeing this movie I constantly see things that are... well... I'm waiting for Marlon himself to pop out of a pub and say, "I'm a lowlife stinking bum."

*PUNDERGROUND COMEDY PRESENTS: HOBOKEN PUNS*

Please enjoy the new pun session by yours truly and Ms. Chelsea Peretti!

If it ain't BOKEN---DON'T FIX IT.

As most people visiting this site know, I live in Hoboken. I refers to the area constantly as "Boken".

I was IMing with the amazing Chelsea Peretti, and we began a... well, PUN SESSION focusing on 'BOKEN'

CHECK OUT THE SPECTACULAR DETAILS HERE ON... punrisepunset.blogspot.com
You'll be glad you did.

Love or hate'em, I plan on taking a little cat nap and then heading out to see the 'greatest Jersey Shore band eva!

Steven Cragg's I Am Not Mark Twain won best One-person show at the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen Colorado.

I saw the show here in NYC this past Autumn, it was really good.

Steven is a former Saturday Night Live writer who was very kind to me when I worked the commissary line for SNL as an NBC Page.


Bravo!

THE WORLD SERIES IS OURS AND SO IS...

BOOMER!!!!

41 years young. Gotta love Boomer.

WADE PREDICTION:
Boomer will go 5 and 0 against the Yankees this year (regular season) with a 2.45 ERA.

CREAM OF WHEAT! with Brown Sugar.

Oh, excellent!

And a small cup of coffee

(Green tea later in the day)

UPDATE ON WADE'S GREAT AUNT ARETY:

My Great Aunt Arety is doing well after her eye surgery.

My spies in NH tell me she went to the OLIVE GARDEN on Tuesday and had a bowl of 'VERY VERY HOT' pasta fagioli (sp) - the way she likes it!
and
Chicken Marseilles (though, the chicken was according to her... fatty).

Glad you're getting better honey. Have a great day.

Love, Adam

Patriot Bruschi is hospitalized
He's plagued by headaches
By Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff | February 17, 2005

Patriots Pro Bowl linebacker Tedy Bruschi was hospitalized yesterday afternoon and kept overnight to determine the cause of headaches.

"After suffering from headaches earlier today, Tedy Bruschi was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston," the Patriots said in a statement. "He is in good condition and will be held for further evaluations. The Bruschi family appreciates everyone's concern, but requests that you respect their privacy at this time."

According to a team source, Bruschi was taken by ambulance from his North Attleborough home. Patriots spokesman Stacey James confirmed Bruschi, 31, will undergo further tests this morning.

Channel 4 reported late last night that Bruschi was suffering from "stroke-like symptoms" -- including partial paralysis and blurred vision.

WOMEN 'GOOSES' WADE:

Today when I got off the NJ PATH TRAIN, I headed up the stairs, not as fast as usual. I was sort of going at a steady pace.

SUDDENLY!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Someone goosed my buttocks.

I turned around and saw a pretty, forty something woman, smile at me and politely say, "Hurry it up, hot buns." I smiled back and just kept walking up those stairs.


WADE, DOES THIS STUFF HAPPEN TO YOU ALL THE TIME?:
This has never, ever, ever, ever happen to me before.

WADE HAS A HARD DAY OF WORK:
So I headed to my favorite pub for dinner and guess who was working?


THE GREATEST BARTENDER IN HOBOKEN!

(Pat is a good man!)

I ate the chicken and angel hair pasta.

M.I.A. AT THE PUB:
Ed Jr, Ed Sr, Nikolai, Sir Walter, Cousin John

WADE WORKS HARD!

LUNCH 'whole food style':

ROLL

2/10 lb of honey turkey

1/4 lb of potato salad

$1.00 piece of corn bread

apple from... Rio (so they say)

price $5.18

DJ WADE ROCKS THE HOUSE:


I believe I am playing some Nick Cave in this photo.

Notice the WADE facial hair.

ACCORDING TO THEDRUDGEREPORT.COM:

ASKED TO RESIGN, 3 AT CBSNEWS HIRE LAWYERS INSTEAD: More than month after CBS head Moonves requested resignations of 3 top journos who helped oversee flawed report on Bush National Guard -- they have yet to step down...


WADE'S PREDICTION:

I know this sounds crazy, but Jon Stewart will be the host of the 6:30pm CBS Newscast by the year 2007!

YET ANOTHER PREDICTION:
Adam Wade will be doing something creative and WILL NOT be a TV Production Assistant by 2007!

(Cross your fingers on the second prediction! Thanks, a little goes a long way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

NO WHITE TEA (PEPPERMINT FLAVORED) IN HOBOKEN:

Is there a conspiracy against this type of tea in Jersey?


I've been told that you can get it at St Marks in NYC.


What's up?

What's up?

Just went to 2 supermarkets and ended up empty handed.

Frustrated I went to Starbucks and got a 4 dollar mocha latte.

Now I am buzzing (since I haven't had coffee in a while).

WHAT WADE HAS BEEN READING:
EMPIRE FALLS

I really enjoyed Richard Russo's book about a small town in Maine.

A soon to be movie on HBO (4 hours)

Pick it up!!!!!

Yes, I've never had my own car.

Huh?

Yes.

But this could possibly be rhe first (or second) automobile I plan on buying.

What says 'MAN' more than a BIG RED TRUCK?

Seriously?

Seriously!

A friend of mine got me VERY jealous today. She was drinking white tea (be it PEPPERMINT flavoured).

Now, I am into GREEN tea, but... white? I've never heard of such a thing. She said is was a spiritual beverage. DAMN! Now I need/crave the WHITE TEA!

So tonight I went out in the rain to... CVS and guess what? No WHITE TEA. You'd think CVS would have such a product, but no (though they had ALOT OF GATORADE THERE).

Now I must go to bed tonight without it. I am sad.

Tomorrow I have one objective: A CUP OF WARM WHITE TEA!

HOW TO MAKE NEW YORK GIRLS REALIZE THEY WOULD RATHER
BE WITH ADAM WADE

CURRENTLY ON DAN KENNEDY'S WWW.REALLYSMALLTALK.COM

By Adam Wade

Part 9: Valentine's Day Special: 'Jr. High Love, New Hampshire-Style


Feb 14th 1989. I was in seventh grade at Hillside
Junior High in New Hampshire, and was 'going out' with
my third girlfriend of that school year (fyi: seventh
grade I hit my peak with girls). Her name was
Anne-Marie Decker and she was the prettiest girl in
the seventh grade. She'd been dating Michael
Lewry (who was the most popular boy in our junior high
-consisting of seventh and eighth graders), but she
dumped him when she found out I liked her.


It was incredible, you know, having this power where
pretty girls would dump the popular boys for... me.
The sad thing was I thought this power would continue
to last forever. But no, seventh grade was the only
time something like this happened.

Now his daughter is (maybe) with Prince Vince.

Amazing.

Guess what?
Richie Richie Richie and Giovanni ARE NOT, I repeat ARE NOT Philly Eagles Fans. They just wore these hats (see photo) because they were sitting [sic] in the Eagles section.

They really pulled a fast one on all of us.

Good to hear you are not Eagles fans ("wait till next year? maybe?").

These practical jokers deserve a TV show about pranks and I think GIOVANNI should date Demi Moore (or at least Molly Ringwald).

Yes, there's a chance.

Stay tuned to see if Wade will make it to FIORE'S IN HOBOKEN NJ.

Yes, Richie Richie Richie and Giovanni (gasp) Eagles fans and (okay) Wade fans went to the SUPERBOWL!

Looks like they had a good time, till the Pats won.

Maybe the Eagles will win next year!

I am not, I repeat NOT a big fan of most REALITY SHOWS, but... this 'ENTERTAINER SHOW' with my boy Wayne Newton... I am hooked.

And what a voice on this Jennifer Joseph!

Wow!

THIS 'ADAM WADE BLACKBALLED' FROM GOOGLE.COM:

For the last two years I was always the first link (this blog) when you googled 'adam wade'.

Recently I noticed my status is gone as well as my blog.

This makes me sad:(

Any suggestions out there?



"THIS IS BUSHLEAGUE AND I AM NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT!" - a wise man.

I feel bad for you Met Fans out there. Yes, he's early this year to Spring Training, but... I'm telling you, he's a CREEP!

You'll see,

Paul Giamatt (who wuz robbed of an Oscar Best Actor Nod for 'Sideways') blows a victory horn. While comedian Dave Attell looks on with a big smile.

Who knew they'd be at the Pats Victory Parade?

What is this GoDaddy.com girl?
Oh yes, who is this Nikki Lappelli anyways?

And who is that great actor on the right?

Enjoying green tea.

With just a touch of honey!


2nd cup of the day.

LONNY APOLOGIZES
WADE ACCEPTS APOLOGY!


(Lonny and Wade with their pal, PAT COOPER)

Lonny:
"In m my defense, I'm having technical difficulties with IM. You were not singled out. There are probably 500 other people wondering why I did not answer them back. I hope they all don't have blogs, and I hope they all don't make it a headline so Lonny looks like a pr*ck.

Congtrats on the Pats. Too bad Brady was dull as a stump on Letterman."



Wade:
"No worries Lonny. I knew it had to be some TD with your IM. You are a good man. I knew you'd never blow me off (IM-style).

PS Brady can be the dullest guy in the world, as long as they keep winning Super Bowls!"

I didn't know that Lonny Ross was an Eagles fan, but he totally blew me off yesterday when I IM'ed him.


THAT'S JUST WRONG LONNY!


(more IM's to come in the future)

Forget fake wrestling, check out 'THE DIRTY DOZEN'
I checked it out for the first time in years (via the Hoboken Library).

Wow, what a bunch of tough guys!

Damn.

You have to see this movie, it's a who's who of tough guys.

Has anybody seen the GoDaddy.com commercial that was played on the Superbowl?

Just saw part of it, funny!

BASEBALL!
Hello, Yankee fans. Are you ready for some baseball?

A-ROD? Is he going to do something this year?
I heard the BOSS gave him some choice words recently.


How about the defending World Series Champs, THE BOSTON RED SOX?

Can you feel the excitement!

THE LATEST-------

TOBASCO SAUCE AND POPCORN:
Never had it, but might try it soon.


WHAT KIND OF WEATHER IS THIS?:
Today is beautiful!

IS BILLY B THE BEST FOOTBAL COACH EVER?:
Perhaps. You can't doubt it.

SUGAR-FREE JELLO PUDDING:
Love it!

GREEN TEA WITH HONEY:
Not bad!

NO MORE COFFEE?:
Laying off coffee.

BRAVO!

Pat-Haters. Believe it!!!!!!!!!

The real deal!

The more Superbowls the Pats win, the less I think about being 2nd string on my high school (golf) team.

How can I not be happy the Pats are in the Superbowl. Of course I want them to win!

But overall I am just thankful to have been able to watch such a great 'team' over the past 4 years. This made up for all those years I watched them when they stunk!

Though I loved Steve Grogan, Craig James, and that Hannah guy.

PHONECALL OF THE DAY:
My buddy Barry called me today.

Barry is the best!

Oh Italian Tuna
Oh Fiore's in Hoboken, New Jersey.

I miss you so much!

WADE'S TWO CENTS: AT THE MOVIES-


50 First Dates
this movie wasn't 'Citizen Kane', nor did it pretend to be. It was what it was: a Sandler Barrymore vehicle. A couple funny parts.


Bad Santa

I liked it alot! Fresh, original, raw! Billy Bob is Nucking Futs in real life but he a damn fine actor. The supporting cast (including John Ritter) all very good!

(note: doesn't have to be XMAS time to see this movie)




WHITE

I haven't seen this movie in 10 years (part of Krzysztof Kieslowski's 'Red, White and Blue trlogy'.

I saw it free then (my college film society) and I saw it free this past week (Hoboken Library) - some things never chance.

Julie Deply is so hot! Yikes! What is this film about? IMDB says, It shows a man dealing with a Polish immigrant whose wife wants to divorce him because he can't perform in bed.


I'm hooked! Very well acted (supporting cast too!).

BEWARE: THIS MOVIE IS ANTI- HOLLYWOOOD!



Lastly

The Man Who Wasn't There

Damn you Billy Bob, you've done it again. Another under-rated performance. WOW!

Not the Coen Brothers' best, but still so so so so so SOLID!

If you like old film-noire this has everything. And it is shot so so so so so perfectly!

Tony Soprano was even in it and wasn't half bad playing... pretty much Tony Soprano.

Scarlett Johansson's in it too! And has a few great scenes.


But a few of the supporting actors almost steal the movies including TV'S MONK Tony Shalhoub, in a slick lawyer role. Michael Badalucco as a barber that loves pie. And Jon Polito as... a weird dude.

Great actor, great man!

He'd been in a lot of great movies.

My personal favorite....

'Bubba Ho-tep' (2002)
Where he played...

John F. "Jack" Kennedy
(no joke)

The prune is ... catching up with you.

Love it or leave it!

I love it!!!!!!


(Eagles have a good team... and some great fans, should be fun.)
