6/6/08: Closed—and Closed Again!

Now it’s Adam Sandler’s fault. We were hoping today’s entry would be a rave review of You Don’t Mess With the Zohan. Instead, the film's a big disappointment. We certainly liked the idea of a comedy about a former Mossad agent who becomes a hairdresser. Unfortunately, the film has a big Up With Terrorism! message. Maybe it’s more of a Palestinian-terrorists-are-people-too message, but that’s lousy enough. Especially since the real villain turns out to be an American real-estate developer.

Note to Hollywood: Most people in New York City don’t feel threatened by the types who want to build landmarks. It’s the types who want to topple the landmarks that give us the creeps.

Speaking of disappointments, let’s discuss this site. We thought about delaying this announcement until after July 4th—that being our second anniversary—but we’ve decided to go ahead with only posting entries on Tuesday and Thursday.

This would only seem to be laziness. The real problem is our impressive work ethic that won’t let us even keep a Grand Funk entry at under 450 words. With only two postings a week, we’ll feel a lot less stupid when we ramble on for over 2,000 words about some important film.

Another advantage is that nobody will even notice when we leave town for a short vacation next week. Also, the new schedule will put an end to lame Friday entries where we’re coming off a disappointing Thursday night screening. That’s a relief. Those were getting to be a problem. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we feel a need to watch Black Sunday.
