The Super Bowl, plus latest flicks

Ok, First, I want to dedicate this post to my homie, Primo. Primo is one of my many fans who enjoys to read about the talented g. ripley. Ok, so here's the scoop.

The Super Bowl is in 13 hours mountain standard time. The big game is going to be a great one, because it matches the best offense (Indianapolis) against the best defense (chicago). The bears will show why their defense is the most high scoring machine in the nfl. We know that REX (aka sexy rexy) is going to have his inconsistent game. But, his inconsistent game was great for the bears in the playoffs. He can shine and that's what he did in the playoffs this year. As for my dog, peyton manning (aka the quarterback that deserves to win), he has his work cut out. In the end, I am picking the colts by 7. G. Ripley is not good with giving final scores, but he's rooting for the Colts.

Back to my other hobby outside of sports, watching and critiquing movies. This past weekend, I saw "The last King of Scotland" and "Notes on a Scandal". In the former movie, I saw a talented actor, forest whitaker, who does a stupendous job as the ruthless Ugandan ruler, Idi Amin. In the latter flick, I saw two talented actresses, Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench. Cate does another magnificent job while The Dame (judi Dench) shows why she is an academy award winner. Remember that both ladies have won oscar gold once before. Will they do it again in 3 weeks at the academy awards in hollywood? WE SHALL SEE! Cate, I'll be rooting for you to win your 2nd academy award for best supporting actress. Note: Cate Blanchett won the academy award at the 2005 academy awards for best supporting actress for her dazzling portrayal of Kate Hepburn in the Aviator (a great Scorsee movie). The Dame won the academy award at the 1999 academy awards for best supporting actress for her beautiful performance in Shakespeare in Love.

As for Forest Whitaker, he did a fine job of playing the ruthless Ugandan uberdictator (is that a word? Yes!!). He showed the world that he deserves the chance to be in the same category as Leo (Blood Diamond); Big Willie (Pursuit of Happyness); Peter O'Toole (Venus); and Ryan Gosling (half Nelson). Will he win on Sunday, February 25? Right now, he's the clear favorite. Personally, G. Ripley wants to see Leo win for Blood Diamond. Go & See Blood Diamond because Leo deserves to win the oscar Gold!

Hey Rahulio. Talk about a sloppy game huh? The first half of the superbowl was riddled with fumbles, recoveries, immediate secondary fumbles, and re-recoveries. And the second half was BORING. I guess I don't care much anyway though since neither team, nor any other team really matters to me.

But what does matter to me is this: guess who showed up to our lab meeting yesterday? Stephen Gaghan, writer of Traffic and more recently, Syrianna. Crazy huh? I guess he wanted to see what happens in psychology labs.

G. Ripley, I don't think Lovie is going to be bringing RexyBack as his starter next year. I'm surprised da Bears got this far with him at the helm.
