Random bits

On the drive to work this morning, former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Ian Beckles (of WDAE’s Ron and Ian Show) asked his co-hosts what they thought he’d be getting in pension per month once he turns 55 (for his 10 years of service in the NFL). The guesses ranged from $2,500 to $10,000. The answer: $240.00.

I’m not ashamed to say it: I love ABBA. And I was really hoping that Mamma Mia!, the upcoming movie based on the hit Broadway musical, would be good. But the trailer doesn’t leave me with much hope:

Will George Carlin’s recent death have the same media half-life as Tim Russert’s? And will those who got bent out shape over the Russert coverage feel the same about Carlin, or is Carlin’s antihero status a mitigating factor? And the fact that he could be really, really funny: 

The reviews for Pixar’s latest animated release, WALL-E, have been overwhelmingly positive. Off-the-charts glowing, in fact. Take this one excerpt from Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times:

Daring and traditional, groundbreaking and familiar, apocalyptic and sentimental, “Wall-E” gains strength from embracing contradictions that would destroy other films. Directed by Pixar stalwart Andrew Stanton, who co-wrote and directed the Oscar-winning “Finding Nemo,” “Wall-E” is the latest Pixar film to manage what’s become next door to impossible for anyone else: appealing to the broadest possible audience without insulting anyone’s intelligence.

So I definitely have a film I’m looking forward to seeing this Friday.
