I'm telling you now (and you can write it down) that if he sustains that level -- seven or eight games -- next season, you should consider that a successful effort on his part. Of course there are qualifiers depending on which games he loses and how dreadful AU looks in those losses, but just maintaining the position would be a win.
You can take the ten-win predictions and file them with the wolf-boy pictures from The Globe.

Tell me if I'm wrong. Didn't I see this movie (recently) with an all white British cast -- and the same midget? Even the trailers are strikingly similar -- right down to the line about the donkey.

And I think what I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda. How we should (airquotes)"legalize pot, man" How big business is crushing the underclass. How homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America. Well what have YOU done to help? I work down at the soup kitchen Brian. Never seen you down there. You want to help? Grab a ladle! And by the way? Driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ! Oh wait! You don't believe in Jesus Christ or any religion for that matter because "Religion is for idiots!" Well who the hell are you to talk down to anyone?

It's good enough to tell twice... Is it not odd that they'd remake a movie less than three years after the original? |

Certainly out of the norm to say the least.
However maybe it is like having two versions of The Office. I actually like the English version better.

Yeah, I actually did know about the British version.
I didn't mention it because I think it certainly takes away from this version. As a general rule, remakes (especially Hollywood versions of recent foreign films) suck compared to the original. As another general rule, British humor cracks my poop up.
However, despite being a carbon copy of another film, this one looks pretty original in another sense. It's the first movie I know of to be a black comedy in both senses of the word. I'm a big fan of the "dark humor" variety. Not so much typically a fan of the Soul Plane variety.
Consisting of a mostly black ensemble cast, yet none of these actors typically appear in those types of movies that typically call for one.
It appears that the rule of this movie is black = British from the original, and white = American from the original, as far as the characters go (The guy that gets drugged, and the dwarf were both Americans in the original).
That's the only reason I can see that they went with the same dwarf. I would have thought with the way this was redone they would have gone with Tony Cox (the dude from Friday & Bad Santa).

Think of the money they would save on rehearsals as well. |

Just watched the original tonight. I was wrong on this assumption. I knew the guy that played the guy that gets slipped pills was an American actor, but he plays a limey in this. It was a funny movie, though. Still kind of interested in seeing the remake. |
