    A Current Flaw In The Diamond

    If this is the biggest issue we have, wow are we gonna have a great year. Communication on the floor is essential, but everybody does not need to be a leader. Especially not a Freshman who hasn't had a chance to learn the mind of the coach. Let the more experienced team members do the talking...

    OT: Worst movie of all time

    Simplex or zoster? Just kidding, but, I didn't say it was in good taste. Only infantile. A dumbed down version of Science Fiction adventure, written and produced by people who didn't understand SF. Maybe I missed the mark by overstating the age group?

    Ah, "Cat Ballou" one of my favorites spoofs; it's bookend "Barbarella", couldn't stand it. She looked great in both though.

    OT/ Most Pasta for your Buck in Connecticut

    Nothing replaces Sunday diner with Mom. My sympathy for your loss. For solid, not fancy, Italian fare at reasonable prices try Bellini's in North Haven. Linguine and whole clams white is always good, chicken parm, most any pasta and tomato sauce. Best clams casino in the state.

    OT: The eight perfectly made films

    I agree with the critique, elevation of female characters, disagree with the conclusion. Just wasn't a real problem for me that Jackson saw the work thru his own, more modern, eyes. Was sad not to see Tom Bombadill, but saw the necessity Also agree that The Hobbit was stretched way to thin...

    OT: The eight perfectly made films

    I too am a fan of the genre and in particular the Master and Commander series. Thought the movie was very good but not great. Did any of you read the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell? Great series and good TV show staring Sean Bean (LOTR Boromir and GOT Eddard Stark). Speaking of which I...

    OT: Worst movie of all time

    Consider yourself fortunate. I was with my 5 -6 year old son. It was aimed at his age group. He loved every second of it's infantile humor and false bravado action. I sat thru the (w)hole thing. BTW, he still remembers it fondly.

    Could I ask you guys for a favor?

    Like most on the BY I am an old guy. Most of what I see that passes for discussion on the internet is nothing short of caustic diatribe, of the nature that if you don't agree with me then you should die now. The BY (especially the Women's Basketball forum) is a beacon of civility and respect...
