IT'S AUGUST.. MIKE AND CHRIS ARE TOGETHER.. TIME TO TALK..... THE OTHER BOLEYN SISTER

AT THE MOVIES WITH MIKE FRANCESCA BROUGHT TO BY... WAIT FOR IT... DIET COKE...

Mike Francesca: I have a new movie for you.. The Other Boleyn Sister. (actually called the Other Boleyn GIRL) It's about a sister who is played by Scarlett Johanson, Natalie Portman plays Ann Boylyn sister... TREMENDOUS. Natlie Portman's performance is good enough to win an Academy Award, that's how good it is. It is a tremendous movie. Acted brilliantly. The Other Boleyn Sister. The hot actor, you see him in a lot of movies who plays Henry the 8th, Eric Bana. Scarlett Johanson is good, Natalie Portman's performance is brilliant. Brilliant. The movie is tremendous. Riveting movie. Movie is phenomenal, no.. GREAT movie. It's on the system. (meaning cable television) It's tremendous. I tell ya. It's tremendous.

Here are what some people who review movies for a living thought of this TREMENDOUS FILM

Manhola Dargis: NY TIMES: More slog than romp, The Other Boleyn Girl tells the salacious story of two hot blue bloods who ran amok and partly unclothed in the court of Henry VIII.

Tom Long: Detroit News: Wow! Hot dueling sisters. Beheadings. Untold wealth and power. Lush costumes. Decisions that change the course of history. And, again -- hot dueling sisters! So how come The Other Boleyn Girl is such a snooze?

Lou Lemnick: NY Post: Unsexy and not particularly good-looking

(editorial note: yes, i did only put the reviews of people saying negative things about the movie. some people did like it, but they don't help my point)

By the way, set your TIVO's to Ebert and Roeper as they open with their review of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball season.

Both Fatso and The Fruit Loop hated The Departed and No Country for Old Men. Curious if they think The Godfather runs too long...

So they are at Giants training camp, the Yanks had a tough loss last night, and they are talking about no country for old men and the departed?

Mike mike must not want to talk baseball cause that could lead to the possibility of a Tampa Rays phone call.

Just one question:

When you use the word "brilliantly" shouldn't you AT LEAST know a LITTLE BIT about the subject you just described in its HIGHEST terms? I mean saying something was done BRILLIANTLY is something you say when YOU YOURSELF have a bit of experience in.

Another totally annoying case of the Blob setting himself up to be an expert.

Time is running out folks for Rays talk today. Mike and Chris might be calling Ahmad Bradshaw in prison to get a little phone time with him instead of talking baseball. The Rays are going to have to hold for another week or so in the loss column so we can get our comeuppance.

anonymous..they talked baseball for about 30 seconds about both teams having a lot of injuries in the rotation and how it just goes to show when you get a guy like marte, it doesnt guarantee anything. all giants all day today. an utter bore.

i'm afraid the Rays will be out of first place when Mike wants to talk about baseball again.

breaking news: they are talking baseball. mike just said Pudge will hit big in the postseason because "he is that kind of player."

hmm. upon further checking, pudge is a .255 postseason career hitter, with a .315 OBP.

Direct quote from Mike, "Tampa(long pause)....we gotta see 'em do it. Especially down the road."

This is cause Mike is a bull shitter.

A few weeks ago he was telling a caller that Jeter had like 17 or 18 post season homers. I think he had like THREE. How the fuck do you make a million a year and are so wrong? Over and over again?
