7/15: All Star Game Open Thread

I love the All-Star Game.

Only 17 year olds think I’m old.

It is dumb

but we can still root for Ichiro having back to back ASG MVP’s. It’s better than nothing.

At least it's not the Pro Bowl.

I’m still capable of getting at least a little bit excited for this.

Remember when they wanted to change the format to America versus the world?

They did that with the NHL for a few years.

Turned out it didn’t work too well.

Starting to think Jeff isn't a big fan of the allstar game.

I think it's sarcasm

Have you tried the Stone Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout yet?

Just picked some up last Thursday

Waiting for the right time. I plan on loving it.

I'm debating whether drinking one on a 75 degree day would be a bad idea.

by acblue on Jul 15, 2008 5:08 PM PDT up 0 recs

I don't think Stone is ever a bad idea

by Jeff on Jul 15, 2008 5:08 PM PDT up 0 recs

Well, yeah.

But I could also have a 90 Minute or a Brutal Bitter or something.

Did you get that Norman McClaren Boxed set yet? I finally got the Kenneth Anger Volume 2 here at the store. And speaking of things Canadien, Mon Oncle Antoine just came out and it is, (to finish a thought from a few weeks ago on the Blue Jays blog) the best Canadien movie ever.

Oh Yeah, Dave Foley just moved in the building above our store, so I had to catch up and order all the Kids in the Hall series. Actually, I’m ashamed we didn’t have them already.

And just to make this a completely facebook style post, I’m currently watching “Philosophy of a Knife” and it is the most violently brutal movie evah. And it’s over 4 hours long. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Haven't got the McClaren set yet.

I’m going to put it off until I’ve got a bit more wiggle room, budget wise. Mon Oncle Antoine is indeed pretty fantastic.

And

It turns out to be not huge renter from our experience. More of a big box of street cred that doesn’t really earn it’s keep.

That's pretty much half my catalog.

I hear ya

But you kinda gotta have ‘em. Oh, and I’m serious about this movie “Philosophy of a knife” it came out last week and is a psuedo doc. in the style of “Men Behind the Sun”. It’s about the japanese Unit 731 that did attrocious human experimentation in the run up to and during WW2 and it’s the most disturbing movie I’ve ever seen. “Salo” pales in comparison. If you guys have it, be sure to warn people before they rent it.
