The Filthy Critic says about Igby Goes Down:
"Somebody kill J.D. Salinger so he can turn in his grave."
He gave it three fingers, which a pretty high rating coming from him. Keep it real, Filthy!
Igby gets a 75% fresh rating on the Tomatometer! That is really fresh!
Igby goes down is on my to-rent list.

The adventures of Harry the Hacker, everyman's favorite cyber-criminal.
Harry the Hacker could leave a long trail of lawsuits in his wake.
At the RSA Conference 2003 here on Tuesday, lawyers outlined a hypothetical scenario, in which Harry the Hacker, angry because he's been fired, decides to put his computing skills to work for nefarious purposes. During his cracking spree, Harry's escapades include using the insecure system of We Care Hospital to launch an attack against a bank, stealing the credit card numbers of customers of an online porn company, discovering the medical records of his former boss, which indicate he has just tested positive for HIV, and posting those records on the Web.
Harry then absconds with millions and flees the country, leaving a path strewn with victims of identity theft, privacy breaches, and of course, staggering financial losses. Soon after, the finger pointing ensues.

there's a mentally disabled lady at my job who roles silverwhere. I've never seen her have a siezure before, bet she had one this afternoon. I saw her go down, so I went over to help her. there's not much I could do, so I just held her hand for a minute or two while she was convulsing. It was scary shit. She finally came to and it looked like she just wanted to cry. It took her a long time to finally get her senses together.
I once had a siezure. I was leaving gym class, and a guy rushed me and hit me in the chest - right on my heart. I went down right there in the hallway. I started to siezure, and I was scared. When I finally came to I played if off like it was nothing. I was embarassed. The guy that hit me apologized over and over.
I don't know why that guy went after me. I guess he thought I could take it.
After this lady at work - Lisa - came to, I rubbed her shoulder and tried to make her feel better, but I don't think it worked. I don't think she ever liked me too much. She's always had a big crush on Steve the Bartender.

I called Jim, the Beatles expert, and he said Hamburg was like a sleazy European Las Vegas, complete with prostitutes and seedy bars. Hamburg would pay big money for British bands to come and play, and often bands, incuding the Beatles, would play for eight hours at a time. John Lennon said that there best music was never recorded, referring to these early days on non-stop playing. I assume this is how they got good at playing as well.
Too bad more bands don't put that much playing time into learning their instruments and crafting their sound. Bands like Good
Charlotte either don't care about getting good or aren't encouraged to. Record companies sign up crap that will sell, not necessarily sound fully formed.
As it would happen, similar to the death of practicing has killed music, the death of the independent circuit is what killed Pro-wrestling. The guys just don't get the in-ring experience they used to. That is why Brock Lesner, hailed as the Next Big Thing, landed on his head when jumping off the top rope at wrestlemania. He, like many other of these new generation wrestlers, just don't have the in-ring experience, which is hurting the business.
