The Orlando Magic’s home court has been renamed Amway Arena, and to read True Hoop’s Henry Abbott on the subject, you’d think Dwight Howard had just joined the Zendek Farm.
Take some Amway advice from me: if you meet some potential new friends, and they come over to dinner packing an easel, some catalogs, and the idea that they want to talk to you about “an exciting business opportunity”–send them home immediately. They don’t want to be your friends. They want to sell you crap, and even better they want to make a percentage when you sell your friends crap. It might be good for business, but it’s not good for friendships.
The only funny scene in the motion picture “Go” is sort of based on this, but I don’t want to give it away if you’re ever having a Sarah Polley film festival.
On the bright side, at least the Magic didn’t sell the naming rights to Main Street USA, Inc.
I don’t know, I like the scene where she deals the ravers aspirin…”You know what makes it even better? If you take like a lot of pot with it. I mean like, like a lot of pot. “
culture as we know it would be in much better shape if all future productions subscribed to the theory of “sarah polley = good, jay mohr = bad”
Although a nice diversion from Kenny Williams trading away starting pitching, I’m struggling with the Sarah Polley praise. Go was arguably Polley’s peak, but really just an ok movie, and Jay Mohr surely turned heads in Cherry Falls.
“Go” was Polley’s peak? Uh, “The Sweet Hereafter”, anybody?
Glad we’ve each seen the same film, but I wouldn’t even call “Go” an OK movie.
re : Mohr. Must Die. Thank you.
I’ll be honest, I had to look up Atom Egoyan on IMDB, and I was going easy on “Go” as to not ruffle the feathers of the Sarah Polley fan club, but the heavily-rotated-on-cable “Cherry Falls” does have Jay Mohr at his lowest point; a gender-bending serial killer who gets impaled on a fence post, all in a direct to video release.
Well, maybe it was Jay Mohr’s second-lowest point – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOfJPalS4Yg
I guess I just find Polley to equal average, and for some reason felt strongly enough about it to comment.
