I watched most of the first half of Spain-Greece with Manolis. He’s not that happy right now. Only Spanoulis is doing anything for Greece in a very gritty, defensive (i.e. brick-filled) game. Spain is slowly starting to assert their dominance though as Rudy Fernandez and Jose Calderon are playing well.
Thoughts?
Angelina Jolie is in he bone collector and her dad’s corpse has been resurrected for the Transformers. What movie was it that they both appeared in?
BTW, I liked “Wanted” with Jolie. It was a good summer popcorn movie even though it made no sense.

I’ve seen porn with better acting than Wanted. It was terrible.

There you are. The acting was bad? No, that was the writing. Out of the idiotic summer comic book movies, I found it to be the second most enjoyable.
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
Everything about that movie was terrible and I wish everyone involved with it a gruesome death, with the possible pardon of Angelina Jolie if she is willing to collect a bone I have for her. The writing, the acting, the special effects, the story, it was too cartoony even for a popcorn flick. This is as B movie as B movies get, but without the unintentional comedy.
Or as Manolis summed it up, “I’m not even sure if the fourth Batman movie was this bad.”
Seriously, if you want to see a movie that Wanted was trying to be, go rent “Shoot ‘Em Up” with Clive Owen. A thousand times better in every way.

I saw Shoot Em Up. It was halfway decent as well. Those kind of movies aren’t really my faves though. I just enjoyed Wanted as piece of popcorn. A guilty pleasure. Do you never indulge yourselves in such.
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
My guilty pleasures are more comedies like Step Brothers. For a popcorn movie, Iron Man or Batman is about all I can handle. I had expectations of Wanted. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have seen it. It was like a hundred times worse than I could’ve imagined, yet about two minutes into it, I knew it was going to be as shitty as it wound up being. That’s the one positive thing about it I can say – the director didn’t surprise anyone by striking a sour note a third of the way in or halfway in, no he pretty much announced he made a shit film from the opening credits.

Iron Man was about as dull as Wanted IMO. Another piece of popcorn. Not as funny as I thought it would be considering the reviews, and the actions scenes were predictable and uninteresting. I thought it would have made a good series but felt a little ripped off at the fact that it was just a movie.

Have you seen the outtake from Step Brothers where the guy has the heart attack? That is hilarious. Unfortunatley I have heard that is funnier than the whole movie (I haven’t seen the movie).

that movie was better than I expected it’d be, really. Some really funny sequences, and some that didn’t work as well. Much better than Semi-Pro.

I'll check it out
Watch that outtake if you haven’t…it is good.
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
Generation Kill is great
You watching that? I have been enjoying it even more than the Wire. Well, it is essentially the Wire in Iraq…Ed Burns is hand is as easily identifiable as Albrecht Durer’s
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
I have never seen a second of Generation Kill or the Wire. I have never seen any of the three Godfather movies. I’ve never watched a Spurs game in San Antonio or set foot in San Antonio. I’ve never known the loving touch of a Brazilian woman.
If you all are looking for a hero, I suggest you look elsewhere.
(I have been catching up with “Lost” though, and it’s okay. Better than I thought it’d be. It’s like Seinfeld, but with a bigger cast and on an island. Everyone is stupid and selfish and awful to each other.)
Greece-Spain
Not as one-sided as the score suggests.
Greece had wide open looks at three all game long and bricked most of them terribly. Also, they were unspeakably awful from the stripe and their Baby Shaq guy played way too much like the current model to be effective. God is he fat.
It wasn’t the prettiest game to watch, but I doubt very many of these tournament games will be. The refs are poor and you never know what’s going to be called and what will not be. It’s completely random from moment to moment.
Right now I see horsies on my screen. If I don’t get it switched back to hoops by 1:45, I’m going to be seriously fucking pissed.
I missed most of the last season of Lost. I do dig that show. It is best watched with the entire season in hand though.
Russia and Georgia? Thoughts?
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
not qualified about thoughts on that. Don’t know enough. Generally though, I’m a pacifist.

My knee-jerk reaction is to be pissed at Russia since they appear to be the aggressors, but what the hell do I know. This hopefully isn’t like the assasination of Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand.
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
Here we go...Manu on parade
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
and by US, I mean the Turkish team, of course.

Thank Odin that Nocioni is not a Spur
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
Bite your tongue. I’d love him on the Spurs.

Argentina cannot medal with this point guard.
No I don’t think 8 minutes into the first game is too soon for such a rash statement.
14-11 Lithuania after one
I sincerely hope that was their worst quarter of the tournament. They look awful.
Manu 0-2, 0 points, 2 turnovers.
Very bad play by Manu. Should have been called for travel, then turned it over anyway
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
I think your feed is about 20 seconds or more ahead of mine.

good steal by Manu
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
Lithuanians all look alike
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
Javtokas is looking decent
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
The second Argentina’s point guard checks into the game, Lithuania goes on a run. God I hate this guy already.
Yeah, it would be like starting JV for the Spurs
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
JV is Chris Paul compared to this guy.

34-30 Lithuania at half.
Manu with 6 pts, 2/5 FG, 2-2 FTs, Delfino with 10.
Nocioni rebounding very fierce, but can’t hit the ocean. Argentina needs Scola and Manu to step up the second half and score about 35 or so between them.
mentally challenged means you can’t help it. Scola is fucking retarded.

Okay, I have a few words.
this Priogini character has to be the worst professional basketball player I’ve ever seen. He has to be paid off by gamblers to play this poorly. Has to be.
61-49
and good night gracie. Argentina lost contact when Manu went to the bench. Perhaps coach should’ve risked playing him with with three fouls and trusted him to be smart. A dicey proposition, but really, what’s the alternative?
Lithuania wins 79-75
I think Lithuania got away with a foul on Manu at the second to last possession. Oh well, they didn’t really deserve the win anyway. They played awful for the first 35 mins. The offense has to be much, much better.
