So I get the feeling that he rubs you guys the wrong way.

Anyway, I’m not alone in my contention that Lost in Translation sucked. Big time.

In fact, I’d wager that The Perfect Score is a more entertaining movie. It’s certainly more patriotic…

If you showed The Perfect Score to a theater packed with sullen young Muslim extremist males in Karachi, I’d wager that a good 20 percent or more would be less inclined to carry out their nefarious deeds, while about five percent would be galvanized to move up the schedule of their martyrdom, if only out of anger for the sinful thoughts that Scarlett Johansson’s bubble ass might inspire.

There you have it.

And if Allen and Nash are finally dedicated to cleaning up the Blazer line-up, they’ll bring back fan favorites Brian Grant and… Isiah “J.R.” Rider. Remember that classic Portland/ Utah playoff series from the lockout shortened ’99 season? Brian and Karl Malone nearly exchanging blows every possession? Isiah pulling back his jersey and thumping his chest after every made free-throw? The final nail in the Stockton/ Malone title hopes? Those were the glory days…

And remember when J.R. made that comment about people being lynched 40 miles outside of Portland? That’s the kind of insight we’re all going to miss in the post-Sheed era.
