Weekend Sweep
Things are about to get interesting around here. Friday Night Lights hits the shelves here in Odessa, TX., approximately one week following Gary Gaines appointment as Athletic Director for Ector County Schools. (FYI for the lost--Ector County Independent School District includes PERMIAN, Gaines former team, and the subject of the Peter Berg's film Friday Night Lights and H.G. "Buzz" Bissinger's book of the same name.) A mutual friend pointed out to me last night that Gaines and I even share the same look these days. Bald is definitely the comb-over of the new millennium. Best Buy is giving away the book with movie for $15.99. Circuit City is selling it $14.99 sans novel.
The Aviator took best drama last night at the Golden Globes while Sideways took best comedy. An obvious crowd favorite according to The Bull Durham Applause-o-meter was Hotel Rwanda. Go ahead and pencil these three in for Best Picture nods at the forth coming Oscars along with Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby. The last one or two spots are going to be a crap-shoot, but those four should be in the running.
Other winners included Clive Owen, Clint Eastwood, Natalie Portman, Teri Hatcher, William Shatner, Geoffrey Rush, and Annette Bening.
No Elektrafication took place at the Box Office this weekend as Jennifer Garner could ne'r o'r come Samuel L. Jackson's Coach Carter. In fact, Alias had better numbers last week than Elektra, which finished fourth behind the pad-lock-happy Coach, those irrepressible Fockers, and that Zebra flick The Bull's father wants to see so badly.
