New York Cine Video: Roger Corman and The Shooting

A few weeks back the New York Cine gang and I talked about filmmaker Roger Corman and his movie “The Shooting”. The footage above is a small video segment that we pulled from the earlier audio podcast. I consider myself fairly well versed in media and cinema studies topics but my knowledge about Corman was pretty rudimentary. One of the things that I truly love about being a part of this weekly podcast is that I always learn something new. It is great that each of hosts brings different interest and perspectives to the production.

The Knicks really suck!

I went with Jonas to the Knicks game this afternoon. My cousin has season tickets and gave Jonas the tickets as a Christmas present. I had heard from a number of people that the team was really doing poorly this year but I was unprepared for just how bad. The Knicks really suck.

The final score of the game was 110-82, which sounds better than it was in reality. They were playing against the Charlotte Hornets, a team that is currently 14-24, and were down by nearly 50 points at the end of the third quarter. I haven’t seen someone get their ass whupped that bad since I was a teenager and came in three hours late after my curfew. I told Jonas to go ask the Knicks coach if he wanted us to go and suit up. We couldn’t have been much worse.
