go see a hero

obviously, not the u.s. men’s basketball team, which unsurprisingly lost to argentina in the olympic semifinal match. it’s not hard to explain: they returned to their poor shooting ways, the finishing just 32-for-77 (42 percent) and 3-for-11 on 3s, and just lost to a better and more fundamentally sound argentinian team.

“We fought as hard as we could. We couldn’t get it done for whatever reason. They were a better team than us,” Allen Iverson said.
the only thing you can say is that we had better uniforms than the argentine team, which was dressed like a bunch of little sailor boys. sailor boys that kicked our ass!

on the bright side, the fantastic movie hero is opening in theatres today. go see this movie! it’s fantastic. it’s beautiful. i’ve already raved about it, but really, go see it. it’s so worth it.

and no, it doesn’t have anything to do with quentin tarantino, despite his name being plastered all over as “q.t. presents…”

hell, call me up. i’ll go see it with you.

yesterday it was in the 50s (!) and rainy here. so i decided to go see “hero” on your recommendation. blew me away. so incredible. i love that kind of layering, storytelling, where reality shifts depending on the storyteller or interpretation…so visually stunning that it’s impossible to put it into words. especially the “suspended over water fight scene” and the fight scene between sky and moon with the red/yellow leaves.

was practically a perfect film. thanks for the utzing.
