Massive big updates from BYN
It's been a while since I've made a post. This isn't because of laziness or a lack of good things to blog about (which are my typical excuses). I attribute it instead to four factors:
1) My state-of-the-art 1999 eMachines eTower 400i is busted and, therefore, I have no home computer.
2) I've been busy at work.
3) I spent most of the weekend in the woods, getting exercise, being rugged and eating food that was terrible for me.
4) My parents are coming to visit this weekend, and, if my girlfriend and I can get our place clean enough, it will be that much easier to convince them to buy me a new computer.
So, without further ado, here's what's on the wires:
Sports
In Monday Night's preseason football game, the St. Louis Rams looked sharp as the shellacked the Detroit Lions in the Motor City. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported this was such a shellacking that, by the end of the game, Detroit fans were chanting "Let's go Red Wings."
That leaves this wire blogger wondering what the Detroit fans will be chanting when the St. Louis Blues dominate the Red Wings in back-to-back games to open the 2005 hockey season in early October. Let's go Wolverines? Let's go General Motors? Let's go Jack White?
Also, Big Yellow Nasty Sports Wire Services is pleased to announce live voice blogging, coming soon to a computer near you. We'll be coming to you live or almost live from the Student Section at Sun Devil Stadium, bringing you commentary on the action on the field and, more importantly, in the stands! It'll be Sun Devil Football like you've never heard it before! And unrated and uncensored!
Pop Culture
Our pop culture wires have been bananas this week, with news that's begging to be blogged about.
For starters, a 25th anniversary edition of The Blues Brothers hit shelves yesterday, containing an extended cut of the movie that is much closer to director John Landis's original than the "nobody wants to watch a comedy longer than 90 minutes" cut we've seen all our lives. DVD Talk has an interview with the legendary Animal House director/Phoenix Film Festival veteran.
But that's small potatoes compared to this next one. According to DVD Fanatic, and confirmed, I guess, on an unofficial-looking coenbrothers.net, we can expect a new special edition of The Big Lebowski on October 18.
In addition to some more special features, the DVD will also be available in an "Achievers Edition Gift Set," which will include such cool swag as coasters and a towel, which will really tie the room together. View photos and details and MSRPs on the official (and officially slow) site here.
That's all for now. I should get around to posting my plans for aiding the hurricane relief effort in the near future, unless those plans fall apart.
