Funny Funny Hebrew
My buddy Adam Taxin, mentioned previously here, has been doing a weekly movie review segment (as "Hungry Hungry Hebrew") on 610 WIP, the main Philadelphia sports-talk station. Here's a snippet of his last one:
Adam Taxin: [following banter about the Indianapolis Colts and "The Apocolypto"]... Now I have a bit of a public service announcement for your listeners. I've done a lot of movie reviews, and it is a bye week [for the Philadelphia Eagles], and the weather stinks; the Flyers and Sixers are only gonna disappoint you, so I think I should do a little summary [of current movies] before I get to "The Prestige." This is for everyone out there except for Coach Reid. Andy Reid, in case you're listening, bye weeks, if you make the most of them, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck ...Posted by Karol at November 3, 2006 03:40 PM | TrackBack
Big Daddy Graham: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, ADAM, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD ?!?!

BDG: Oh, jeez. That one went right over me.

He is convinced Senator Kerry is going to cost them the Senate seat out in Montana and probably the election as a whole. It'll be two elections in a row. I just can't believe the way that story has developed, even though I think Senator Kerry really did mean it as a joke and just missed a word. Summary of the movies ...

So what did he say about The Prestige? I saw it yesterday and loved it. It was truly a conservative movie and had a metaphorical, anti-abortion (and other ethical issues) message. Which means it can kiss its much deserved Oscar goodbye.

It's like this season's "Where's the Beef?" or "Show me the money!"
Hell, I think one can take the old fortune cookie schtick of appending "in bed" to the fortune and replace with "or you'll get stuck in Iraq"
Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well as "in bed", but hey.
