Coach (Pat) Riley told us on June 8 we'd win the title on June 20.
Basically, for me the psychedelic experience was the path to revelation. It actually worked on somebody who thought nothing would work.

To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental.
