SAMMIE: I’ve got to stop this thing!
JACK: NO! Stay above fifty!
ANNIE: We’ve got a wounded, er, injured –
JACK: You slow down and this team will explode!
(Silence)
JACK: There is a bomb with this team. If we slow down. IT’LL BLOW
JACK: If anyone tries to get off (the team via trade), it’ll blow
SAMMIE: This is great. A bomb on hightops.
JACK: Ma’am, um… sir, can you handle this bus, er, team?
SAMMIE: Sure, I can do this. It’s just like driving a really big Pinto.
JACK (not amused) : Can you handle it?
SAMMIE (sighs): I’m fine. What’s the plan? Is there a plan?
JACK (taking a cell phone out): Just for you to drive. We’re okay for now. Just stay above fifty (percent, record-wise)
SAMMIE: You’re a cop, right?
JACK: That’s right.
SAMMIE: Then I should probably tell you: I’m just taking the bus ’cause I had my driver’s license revoked.
JACK: What for?
SAMMIE: Speeding.
(Jack smiles)
SAMMIE: And stealing cats.
Tim Duncan Totally Fouled The Jane Austen Book Club October 15, 2007
Posted by TheHype in Movies, San Antonio Spurs , 1 comment so far |
The Tim Duncan media frenzy just would not stop. This time, it’s his drop step in entertainment dominance: Timmeh (crossing my fingers) hopefully will be somehow immortalized in the future DVD release of The Jane Austen Book Club … in a round about way … kind of.
But first hetero rep reaffirmation: No, I did not watch The Jane Austen Book Club. Come on, The Game Plan was much more realistic and gritty. Okay, glad I got that cleared up.
So as I was listening to the Creative Screen Writing Magazine’s podcast with the writer for The Jane Austen Book Club (seriously, I didn’t watch the movie, I just like podcasts! I swear!) and at about the 5:40 until 8:20 mark, said writer was talking about trying to fit a sports-talk scene and Duncan had a minor influence in the movie (après le saut!):
Apparently there’s a character called Dean played by Marc Blucas who had to talk about Tim as part of the scene. Blucas impressed the writer/directors during his casting read by saying that he’s actually #21’s best friend in real life. It’s true! Wire Images confirms it though are bastardly making us pay to see the full image! Fuckers. (more…)

Yes, crass is thy name when horrible events happen … I’ll see you in hell! But, at least Mr. 50% was not injured or hopefully involved in any of what happened.
Oh yeah actually, to tie in this non-NBA non-basketball post: movie reviews! Shoot ‘Em Up (see, there’s a reason that’s up there) and Balls of Fury (it’s a sport, right?) because I somehow got to see the early screening the other day.
But not right now, I tease like so. I gots to do something for the big half of the day, so I shall returneth in mere hours to finish this filler post! Back in a flash… Update: Okay, as promised (when no one really even asked) here is my review, after the 5 meter long jump (more…)

 Or maybe she will, I have no idea.
Truthfully, I only watched the season finale of The Sopranos (sorry, Murder She Wrote is a bitch to finish). Check it, Tony S will transform himself into a legend in the basketball world: Sonny Vaccaro
Emphasis mine!!! Lord Baron and Gandolfini… woah, I wanna be in that same room. Gandolfini’s Next Gig Easy as ABCD [E!!!!!! News] |
Adam Silver’s Review of Transformers July 11, 2007
Posted by TheHype in Movies, Unrelatedness , 3 comments |
Yo what up my dawgs. Adam Silver up in this mutha. He he he, always wanted to talk in that “kidz talk”. You know who I am, the Number 2 of the NBA head office. Shit’s serious. Anyways, I was somehow looped into this internet thing… dunno what they call this… blo-gue? Well, I offer thee my thoughts on the blockbuster that is Transformers, here we go:
HEeEeeeeeeLLLLL yesssss.
Like, oh. my. god. Did you see…and the…with his big…and…holy fucktown! GIANT eff-in ROBOTS!
Okok, calm down to level 3 now… it was the shiz man. Lemme tell you, when Optimus Prime finally showed up, I think I cried. And pooped. I think I cried and pooped at the exact same time. I also I think I’m in love with someone in the movie. No, not Megan Fox, I mean, sure she’s got that weird tattoo ink thing going for her all over her bod, but no, you know who I’m talking about.
BumbleBee man.
That kid had my heart from the very beginning. I mean, (MINOR SPOILER ALERT) he helped save a kid life from loser-dom by getting his dad to purchase him, possibly the best type of life-saving, as I have been told. He puts on apropriate yet humourous 80s pop music that made the audience laugh. And best of all, he has a mask that, get this: looks like a bumblebee! How can you not love him?
Oh sure, we can go on and on about Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, but for reals yo, BB’s the man, er, robot.
As for the rest of the flick. I think it made me want to do the following things, in this order:
1) buy a GMC vehicle
2) have sex with one of the many weapons from the US military
3) randomly yell out “ree-ree-row-rit-ree” and pretend like I’m transforming into a car
So, hopefully this review helped you out. It sure made my life happier, to you Bumble Bee!
I love you
Dramatism-ism With X-Men 3 June 7, 2006
Posted by TheHype in Movies , add a comment |
I just finished watching the movie and coming from a casual DC comic book fan (only watched the 90s cartoon) — I thought it was decent. I have to agree with everyone else on the planet that the other two were way better. This one however, was okay enough to say I digged it. I don’t begrudge the director because I think what he did was smart: simply furthering what’s already been setup by the genius of Bryan Singer. Obviously Singer’s storytelling style is what’s so great about him and why X1, X2 were so good, which is why X3 felt like an extension of X2 and not really its own movie — it never really sold me on its theme.
What it DID sell me on though, is that if ever you need to make a dramatic point, and want the audience (or whoever’s 3 feet close to you) to feel what you say… just repeat the whatever you said last:
Logan to Rogue: “If you have to go, GO. But if it’s what you want, make sure it’s WHAT YOU WANT”
[Oooh, gives me chills just typing something that'd make Shakespeare shit his pants!]
Storm to Logan: “If you’re with us, then BE WITH US”
[Hello Winner for Best Script at the Oscars!]
Magneto to whoever that’s still watching: “They’re pawns….(minutes later)…They’re pawns..“
[Sniff...so...inspiring....like....like...it INSPIRES]
But we all know where that type of dialogue is from. It’s without a doubt from the Sheeeeed’s School of Dramatisation
