"Breakfast on Pluto" Is Really Not About an Alien from Outer SpaceBy: Ed Bagley .... Click author's name to view profile and articles!!!Retargeting by ChangoTweet copy; 2007 Ed BagleyBreakfast on Pluto 8211; 2 Stars (Average)Breakfast on Pluto is a gender preference Capitals jersey
movie about a boy who really wants to be a girl, and settles for being a transvestite trying to find a place in a world that curses his very existence. Irish actor Cillian Murphy plays Patrick "Kitten" Braden in a controversial film due to the subject matter.It is very difficult to make a great film. It is difficult to make a good film. It is almost impossible to make a good film when the subject matter is not even on the radar screen of the average viewer.Alternative lifestyle films do not win awards even if the actors involved get an Oscar (as Hilary Swank did in Boys Don't Cry), get nominated for an Oscar (as Felicity Huffman did in Transamerica) or get nominated for a Golden Globe (as Cillian Murphy did in Breakfast on Pluto).The typical moviegoer does not want to talk about alternative lifestyles much less see them. We are unfortable with what we do not know or understand, and even if we did, men would have a fondness for the distaff side only if they are genetic girls.There will be no great acceptance for alternative films now or in the distant future.Hollywood is OK with accepting alternative lifestyles, but Hollywood is generally far more liberal, permissive and self-absorbed than mainstream America.Some of us in mainstream America are interested in relationship films and put no restrictions on the individuals and lifestyles involved. I endured Boys Don't Cry and Transamerica and am pleased to say I did not have to endure Breakfast on Pluto.I think that Neil Jordan is the reason why. Jordan not only directed the film but wrote the script based on Pat McCabe's novel. McCabe plays the role of the schoolmaster. Jordan's script does not follow McCabe's novel, and the film is made better by his decision.Jordan achieves something that few of his counterparts have been able to do and that is direct and write and produce a good product. I have a laundry list of Hockey Jersey
wannabe writerdirectors who have tried to do both and failed miserably.The only other effort that immediately es to mind besides Neil Jordan is Tim McCanlies' Secondhand Lions. McCanlies is a master storyteller in Secondhand Lions.Unlike Boys Don't Cry and Transamerica which missed a great opportunity to inform and educate people about alternative lifestyles, Breakfast on Pluto delivers big time. Instead of a tragic ending filled with stereotypes and dialog riddled with hatred and bigotry, Breakfast on Pluto has a happy ending.Cillian Murphy's great performance honors a character who stays true to "her" life, and remains in character to win in the end. While the production in the film suffers from sound problems that border on annoying, Murphy does not miss a beat despite narrowly escaping death on three occasions.The film could not have been fortable for the Catholic church as the priest Father Liam (Liam Neeson) impregnates his very attractive housekeeper, being the father (literally and figuratively) of Patrick Braden. He is raised as a foster child by an alcoholic mother who earns her living as a tavern owner.Young Patrick gets into his gender role early on and eventually leaves his small Irish town for Piccadilly Circus in London, being an entertainer and streetwalker.Jordan as the Director concentrates on the character of "Kitten" and wisely avoids taking the low road by using any tawdry displays for ratings. He makes Kitten into a real person that has a lack of direction and real problems fitting into regular society.Cillian Murphy does an excellent job of keeping his character Kitten on task with the famous line "to thine ownself be true." Kitten does not waver or promise who she is despite danger or lack of acceptance. In the end, Father Liam es to terms with breaking his vow of celibacy, reconciles with Kitten, and experiences some personal growth in the process.Do not be concerned about too many of these alternative films making it to the screen. Breakfast on Pluto had to be a financial disaster, pulling in only $751,000 at the box office.I think anyone involved in an alternative lifestyle would appreciate Breakfast on Pluto, not because it makes a statement about endorsing an alternative lifestyle, but because it makes a statement about acceptance of Calgary Flames jersey
oneself without recrimination.Kitten shows it is not necessary to flaunt who you are to gain acceptance, she eventually finds acceptance by being herself, nothing more and nothing less.Article Source: abcarticledirectoryEd Bagley's Blog Publishes Original Articles with Analysis and mentary on 5 Subjects: Sports, Movie Reviews, Lessons in Life, Jobs and Careers, and Internet Marketing.

0 24 Jan 11 2011's Years College Football Recruitment and Predictions 发帖者 Johnny Depp | 时间： 01:45

Jeff Zelevansky/Getty ImagesTop prospects around the nation are still available and are for the taking. Here are the top 10 uncommitted prospects and predictions according to Rivals.Jadeveon Clowney-Right off the bat Clowney grabs your attention with a very impressive physical Minnesota Vikings
presence. In that 6-foot-6 range he carries his weight well and for a kid at about 230 pounds he has room to pack on a significant amount of bulk as he continues to physically develop. He possesses a nice wingspan and has a very physical nature to him and displays good strength. He looks to enjoy contact and will deliver some big hits.Leader- AlabamaDarkhorse- N/A, South Carolina by default but not really a darkhorseTony Steward-Steward is a dominant player displaying excellent athleticism and playing speed. Has the size we like to see for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition. This a very flexible athlete who exhibit the quickness, burst and balance necessary to be effective from any spot on the field vs. both the run and pass; shows the KD skills and instincts which allow him to continually get to the football, on plays both to or away. Possesses the upper body playing strength to defeat blockers however his speed allows him to beat blockers through gaps or avoid contact to make plays.Leader- ClemsonDarkhorse- UCLAGeorge Farmer-George Farmer is not only a physically imposing presence on offense, but we are not so sure he wouldn't make for a great safety prospect as well. Farmer is a thickly built, athletic prospect with great speed to stretch the field vertically, but also possesses the ability to turn the short catch into a homerun. He is built like Dez Bryant and has very quick feet for a bigger player.Leader- USC(near lock)Darkhorse- FloridaCyrus Kouandjio-Kouandjio is a dominant run blocker with excellent athleticism that is very rare at his size coming out of high school. This guy runs very well for a big man. His over all size is what we like to see for the tackle position at the major level of competition. Displays very good flexibility in a three point stance; comes off the ball with good initial quickness and explosion; gets a good fit with a flat back and good pad level; rolls his hips with good base and leg drive; has the playing strength to knock defenders off the line of scrimmage; his athletic ability and balance allow him to maintain contact when he moving defenders into space.Leader- Alabama or USCDarkhorse- VirginiaCurtis Grant-Grant possesses the excellent athleticism necessary to get to the football vs. both the run and pass. His size is what we like to see for the outside linebacker position at the major level of competition. This is a very flexible, smooth athlete; is more productive when pursuing New England Patriots jersey
laterally, although will take on blockers vs. the inside run; works at being a physical player with some success but must improve his ability to hand shiver and shed in 1 on 1 situations. Is aggressive and tough, flashing downhill and stacking skill against the inside run but an overall better and more productive guy when able to avoid blockers and work laterally; demonstrates the agility and balance to work through traffic with excellent playing speed and pursuit habits; displays solid wrap tackling skill with an explosive finishing burst.Leader- Virginia TechDarkhorse- TennesseeRay Drew-There is plenty to like about Drew as this kid is a talented and disruptive defender who still possesses a frightening amount of upside. He has great size and displays a nice wingspan. Despite already being in that 250 pound range he still has plenty of room to pack on more good bulk with time in a college weight program. He can be quick off the ball, but does need to be more consistent.Leader- Alabama and GeorgiaDarkhorse- FSUDevon Blackman-Blackmon is a special athlete that is reminiscent of an east coast version in Quan Bray. Blackmon is a dual-threat quarterback at this level because you want the ball in his hands on every snap, but he has cover corner or slot receiver written all over him for the next level. He could also develop into a terrific return specialist. He is remarkably smooth and fluid-- ease of movement and change-of-direction skills are excellent.Leader- UCLADarkhorse- CalIsiah Crowell-Crowell is simply an explosive package at the running back position. Looks a tad smaller than his listed measurables but this guy is very well-built and compact. Built low to the ground and deceptively a very powerful back. Hits the hole fast just as the creases open and reaches top-speed almost instantly.Leader- AlabamaDarkhorse- ClemsonStephon Tuitt-Tuitt is an interesting defensive line prospect. He is a big defensive end who you can't help but think will be a defensive tackle in time, but as you watch him New Orleans Saints jersey
you don't want to discount his ability to stay at end.Leader- Georgia TechDarkhorse- Notre DameGregory Robinson-Robinson shows good upper body playing strength as a run blocker; his size for the tackle position is good however this guy may end up at offensive guard as his career progresses. Shows good flexibility in a three point stance; flashes good initial quickness but not consistently explosive.Leader- Auburn/LSUDarkhorse- Oklahoma

0 24 Jan 11 Who Ya Got?: Predictions For The Marquee Games Of College Football Week Three 发帖者 Johnny Depp | 时间： 01:44

Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesAround this time last week, the week two schedule was labeled as Showdown Saturday or Monster Saturday but it fell flat as those games turned out to be blow outs across the nation.First, the Crimson Tide made quick work of the young Nittany Lions when they traveled to Tuscaloosa by a score ofNew Orleans Saints jersey
24-3 while the Sooners smacked around Jimbo Fisher and the Seminoles by a score 47-17 in Norman.Above those two games, the game that was up in lights on the marquee was the rematch of the 2003 Fiesta Bowl as the Miami Hurricanes visited the Ohio State Buckeyes.The U was bitten by the turnover bug in Columbus as Terrelle Pryor led the OSU to a 36-24 victory in a game that was expected to be close to the 2003 match-up but feel well off that game. The biggest lopsided outcome was Oregontrip to Knoxville as they gave the Volunteers their worst loss in the history of Neyland Stadium by a score of 48-13 Saturday night.Arguably the best game of the weekend was the West Virginia/Marshall game from Friday night as the Mountaineers made a great comeback in final few minutes of the game that New York Jets jersey
the Herd dominated from the opening kickoff.Here are the predictions for the games that rise above the rest of the schedule during Week Three of college football action Thursday, September 16thCincinnati at North Carolina StatePREDICTION: Cincinnati 28-20Friday, September 17th10:00 PM California at NevadaPREDICTION: California 38-21Saturday, September 18th12:00 PM- #12 Arkansas at GeorgiaPREDICTION: Arkansas 35-2412:00 PM Maryland at #21 West VirginiaPREDICTION: West Virginia 21-1712:00 PM Georgia Tech at North CarolinaPREDICTION: Georgia Tech 31-211:30 PM East Carolina at Virginia TechPREDICTION: East Carolina 27-213:30 PM - #1 Alabama at DukePREDICTION: Alabama 42-143:30 PM - #8 Nebraska at WashingtonPREDICTION: Nebraska 38-273:30 PM - #10 Florida at TennesseePREDICTION: Florida 42-213:30 PM - #18 USC at MinnesotaPREDICTION: Minnesota 24-213:30 PM BYU at Florida StatePREDICTION: BYU 31-274:30 PM Baylor at #4 TCUPREDICTION: TCU 28-217:00 PM -Oakland Raiders jersey

0 22 Jan 11 West Virginia Mountaineers Football: How To Profit from the LSU Trip 发帖者 Johnny Depp | 时间： 06:25

West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart leading his Mountaineers on the road.Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesBy now, the West Virginia coaches are breaking down the tape of Saturday afternoon's victory over Maryland.LSU is next, and there are 150 odd hours remaining to get ready for the biggest test on the Mountaineerslate. Oakland Raiders jersey
Of Bill Stewart's30games as WVU's head football coach, this is his biggest opportunity by far. He and his staff mustbeat theBayou Bengal Tigers. Stewart and his players need that signature road win. A victory over the LSU from the Southeastern Conference in Baton Rouge in front of 92,000 crazed fanswill do it.Here are some issues to consider:WVU QB Geno Smith Is on Fire, And It's Beginning To Look Like That's Normal for HimGeno went 19-for-29for 268 yards against Maryland, finding the end zone four times. He'slooking a lot like late 1990s passer Marc Bulger. He's seemingly unstoppable on the gridiron after the two mega-drives to take WVU to overtime at Marshall. He's also emerged as a leader, keeping his offense fired up, especially the offensive line.Geno has the tools in his belt to playquarterback againstany SEC team. He needs blocking and nearly perfect receiver play from Jock Sanders, Tavon Austin, and Steadman Baileyto complement his outstanding skills. Which leads us to:Unfortunately, Geno Needs To Remind the Offense about the Importance of BlockingSaturday against Maryland, the Mountaineer offensive line seemed to respond to the quarterback's attempts to jog their memory. It's a good thing. The WVU blocking built upon the success at Marshall, although in the third quarter the big guys sort of forgot why they were there. Overall they're ready for LSU.The Offensive LineHas ToBe Ready for the TigersLSU seems to have patched together its inexperienced defense. They're 3-0, with a nice sticker onits headgear for holding back North Carolina and another one for Saturday night's convincing win overfellow SEC member Mississippi State.I don't know exactly how many seconds the O-line has been giving Geno, norhave I measuredhow big the holes Noel Devine and Ryan Clarke have been running through. To beat LSU, though,the O-line is absolutely the key. It's asking a lot, but they have to hold their blocks another half-second. That's a half tick on the clock and it has to be there.Speaking of LSU's Defense, All-America Philadelphia Eagles jersey
Cornerback Patrick Peterson Is Absolutely the Best Football Player West Virginia Will FaceOn his corner, Peterson willshutdown any receiver facing him. He's 6'1' and 211 lbson roller blades and can work on an island.Peterson will cover and cover well any wideout WVU lines up on him. Including Alabama's running back MarkIngram, Peterson is arguably thebest player that any of LSU's opponents will see.Thanks to the remainder of the LSU secondary, Patrick Peterson is nearlyimpossible to throw away from, or unfortunately punt away from. He got two picks against Mississippi State and cruised 87 yards ona punt return touchdown against North Carolina.It's imperative that Geno Smithknows where Patrick Peterson is on every play and knows where he's going. Maryland's Wideout Torrey Smith Answered the Question: "What is the State of West Virginia's Defensive Backs?"Not good. The fastest receiver in the Atlantic Coast Conference smoked the Mountaineer corners for two TDs in the third quarter, one from 60 yards and a second from 80 yards. Assuming ostracized corner Brandon Hogan will not be back, West Virginia needs to roll the safeties over to defend LSU's two amazing wideouts, 6'5" 206 lb senior Terrance Toliver and the immensely talented 6'1" 188 lb sophomore Russell Shepard.Fortunately, Junior LSU Quarterback Jordan Jefferson Can Be RattledAnd what Mountaineer is the best at rattling people? Bruce Irvin. Irvin racked up three sacks and a couple of hurries. The best one, Irvin's first sack in aWest Virginia uniform, came when he welcomed Maryland quarterbackDanny O'Brien to Morgantownwith an awesome, wicked blindside in-the-back hit. The Tigers also have a good rushing attack. The Mountaineers have a rather decent run defense. If the WVU linebackers get Jefferson to a passing situation, Jeff Casteel has to have some blitz packages such as the ones West Virginia used against Maryland. The D-backs need that help.As with Every Game, But Especially with This One Against LSU, the Victory Will Be Charted on Tuesday, Pittsburgh Steelers jersey
Wednesday, and Thursday and Won on Saturday NightThe win over Maryland was a sweet win. It was nice to have the return of the rivalry. But sometime, likeimmediately, after those remaining in the crowd sang "Country Roads," it was time to move on. It's time for theMountaineers ofWest Virginia to move on toLSU.

A pizza with 1,760 pounds of cheese and 1,980 pounds of sauce.Tonight begins an incredible menu of non-conference football for the teams hoping to contend for the Big East title. It all begins tonight with a national telecast of the Miami-Pittsburgh game. Some really big offerings. So, in that spirit, we have provided Reebok Dallas Cowboys #9 Tony Romo Realtree camo Jersey
you with enough pizza to feed an army of Big East fans and players. So, chow down, eat all you want while you perusethis weekend's football offerings:Miami (1-1) at Pittsburgh (1-1):A lot of good athletes on the field tonight. Don't know about you, but I can't wait for this one. Pittsburgh is going to get a healthy dose of "THE U," up close and personal. Randy Shannon has tried to rebuild the program with speed and athleticism, in the image of Jimmy Johnson's teams. This should be a great contest to watch.Miami has the quarterback advantage with Jacory Harris. Pittsburgh will need for Dion Lewis to emerge from hibernation if it wants to compete, but Miami has a lot of speed on defense.Look for the 'Canes to put a lot of pressure on Tino Sunseri, which means Pittsburgh will need a running game to survive in this one.Edge: MiamiGame on ESPN, 7:30 p.m.West Virginia (3-0) at LSU (3-0):Big East and Mountaineer pride is on the line here, ladies and gentlemen.If you've never been to a game at LSU, you've missed one of the great atmospheres in college football. A night game in Death Valley is awesome. You're talking about thousands of screaming fans with some Cajuns mixed in. Outside the stadium will be pyramids of empty bottles and cans from adult beverages consumed before this game.This will be a supreme test for Geno Smith and his ability to stay cool under fire. You have the athleticism of a big-name SEC program up against the team that is perceived to be the current front-runner in the Big East. This game is winnable for the Mountaineers but they'll have to play a near-flawless game. Smith will have to play well, Noel Devine needs a big night, and the defense needs to step up. Don't miss this one.Edge: Toss up.Game on ESPN2, 9 p.m.Oklahoma (3-0) at Cincinnati (1-2):Form says this could be a massacre. Cincinnati has shown little life this season, and this is big, bad Oklahoma, a team that took Florida State apart at the seams. If the same Bearcat team shows up Saturday that showed up in Raleigh last Thursday, it could be a long evening for Reebok Denver Broncos #15 Tim Tebow Realtree camo Jersey
Bearcat Nation.Once again, Big East pride is at stake and Cincinnati needs to find a way to keep this one close. Someone will have to convince me that Oklahoma won't win this one easily.Big Edge: OklahomaGame on ESPN2, 6 p.m.North Carolina (0-2) at Rutgers (2-0):Hate to sound like a broken record, but Big East pride is on the line. Who expected North Carolina to come in winless? Butch Davis has had nothing but problems with suspended players this fall.This will be a great test for the Rutgers defense, and that defense will need to lead the way if the Scarlet Knights are going to have a chance. The Rutgers offense has been dormant, to say the least. Another national telecast and nothing but opportunity for Scarlet Knight nation. Look for a huge turnout and a great effort from Greg Schiano's troops.Slight Edge: North CarolinaGame on ESPNU at 3:30 p.m.Colgate (1-1) at Syracuse (2-1):The Carrier Dome should provide ample home field advantage for the Orange to notch their third win of the season. Ryan Nassib has done a good job settling into the quarterback position. This is a game Syracuse needs to win and win convincingly. Surely, the Big East can prevail over the Patriot League.Big Edge: SyracuseGame on ESPN3.com at 3:30 p.m.Western Kentucky (0-3) at South Florida (1-1):After a week to recover fromits foray into The Swamp, South Florida should be sufficiently rested and recharged to handle the Hilltoppers. Not sure if Skip Holtz's team will find this an easy win. Western Kentucky has an incredible runner in Bobby Rainey who has chalked up 444 yards and five touchdowns in three games. He put up 155 against Nebraska, 184 against Kentucky, and 105 against Indiana. USF should be able to take advantage of a weak WKU defense. USF wins comfortably.Big Edge: South FloridaGame on ESPN3.com at 7 p.m.Buffalo (1-2) at Connecticut (1-2):If ever ateam was in need of a quick recovery, it is UConn. The Huskies were flat-out embarrassed at Temple last week, and who knows what to expect from them on Saturday? Look for a heavy dose of Jordan Toddman, as usual, and hopefully, Randy Edsall's defense will find a quick cure for what ails it.Slight Edge: ConnecticutGame on ESPN3.com, 12 noon.There you have it, Big East fans. There's a lot at stake as far as Big Reebok Green Bay Packers #12 Aaron Rodgers Realtree camo Jersey
East perception around the country is concerned. The Big East has taken it on the chin already this season and needs to get up off the mat and fight back. If nothing else, enjoy the pizza! See you on Monday when Professor Tom passes out the grades.
