And it is…. Canton Avenue in Pittsburgh’s neighborhood of Beechview. All the better that it’s cobblestoned and frequently covered in ice.

Jesuses gets stolen so often, police are installing GPS trackers in them to track them down. But in Arkansas, everything is more intense. 70 year old grandmas steal the Baby to prove that Jewish babies can have blue eyes, and teenage boys steal him to propagandize some weird satanic, racist, nazi ideology.

Right as the Cold War is ending, Americans bring baseball to Warsaw. Even George Bush comes by to boost the local little leaguers. First baseball, then democracy! And of course, to recognize the great legacy of Polish Baseballers, for the Red Sox and otherwise…

Terry & Gene

Gene Simmons of Kiss takes on Terry Gross of NPR’s Fresh Air. He is patronizing, sexist, defensive, lewd, and otherwise obnoxious. Terry tries to grapple him back down to more usual fare, but Gene is on the attack, and on the defensive –and is purely baffling as well as intensely repulsive.

Junebug

A warm, delightful clash of cultures in suburban North Carolina, with a steady pace, a perfect cast, and a mix of awkward, loving and devastating scenes that make it watchable over + over again.
