New York vs. Boston: Which Is the Better Sports Town?
Mayors Bloomberg and Menino have made their obligatory bet; celebrity chefs from the two cities have made a bet of their own; and even rapper 50 Cent has gotten into the action.
The Giants might have upset the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII and the memory of Bucky Dent’s three-run homer in the run-up to the 1978 American League playoffs is still enough to give some Bostonians hives. But Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have played four Super Bowls since 2000 and won three of them; during that same period, New York’s two football teams have played in two and won one.
So the question lingers: which is the best sports town? Read more.

elvis-shrugged asked: Re: Joss Whedon. You mean like Alien: Resurrection? I rewatched it for the first time in years a few weeks ago and his mediocre script sank what could have been a fun romp (Winona! Jean-Pierre Jeunet!). I'm kind of cold on Whedon in general these days, anyway.
In general he’s much more successful at long-form serialized narratives; he’s very good at both comics and television writing. However his movie scripts are generally awful. Especially considering the only line left of his in the X-Men movie is that “What happens to a frog when it is hit by lightning,” bit. I know Halle Berry completely blew that line (cuz she’s a terrible actress spouting an awful line), but still.
Also, he did rewrites on Waterworld and Speed. That should tell you everything about the calibre of his writing.

*Unless Joss Whedon is involved in a movie. Then I can almost guarantee it will suck.

Bloomberg Businessweek’s new cover: ”Airplanes having sex.”
And I thought financial news magazines were supposed to be all highbrow and stuff.
