Gome of the Week
Yes, baseball season is finally here, and that can only mean one thing: Alex Rodriguez is making more this season than the entire Florida Marlins team.
This Week's Link That's Probably Not That Great
WWF Superstars Taping - Flickr set of some scanned photos that are awesome.
This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
To End All Wars (2001)
When I found this at the video store I remember thinking about how I could never have heard of this. It has two name actors in what seems to be a big budget production. Who knows? Anyways, Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Carlyle find themselves in a World War II POW camp that is forced to build a railroad through the Burmese jungle. This is based on one of the surviving man's books on the subject and seems pretty dedicated to realism. The movie is pretty rough as the men are continuously tortured for years. A great movie about a fascinating, oft-forgotten part of the war.
Love, Biff.
This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
The Ritchie Family - American Generation (1978)
Just when I thought I could go through my life without hearing a disco version of "Big Spender," this comes along and spoils my plans. Other than that failed attempt at a novelty hit, it's some of the most derivative and forgettable disco I've ever heard. Which isn't saying much. However, who doesn't love a young lady in a bikini and shoulder pads?
