Luckily the match was a complete farce or #India losing a #T20 to #SouthAfrica in 8 overs (thanks D/L!) woulda been humiliating. #SAvInd

Broad Street Bullies: Fun look at the rowdy Stanley Cup-winning Philadelphia Flyers. Too bad they weren't this good when we lived in Philly.
The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games: I liked it better the first time it was called Battle Royale. It looked like it's filmed on backlot. But it was lotsa fun.

RIP Ulu Grosbard. Director of the unjustly forgotten Dustin Hoffman classic "Straight Time."
Game Change
Game Change: Solid stuff from HBO & Jay Roach. Naturally Julianne Moore is great, but methinks Woody Harrelson kinda steals the show.
