I’m watching Anatomy Of A Murder. Jimmy Stewart is a proto-Stanislavskian beast wandering around a bunch of cardboard cut-out actors. The references to Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Blind River are the icing on the Tim Horton’s doughnut.

Tonight in the NBA the best battle of sub .500 teams features the Minnesota Karl-Anthony Towns against the New York Kristaps Porzingis’sisisss. Other teams featured this evening are Cha, Mia, Chi, Okl, SA, GS and LAC. In the college ball game certain bastards from UNC are playing along with relatively respectable programs like Lou, Bay, (undefeated?) SMU, and Ari. Ice-wise there are only two games but they are barn-burners-Ott/Was and Pit/Bos promise to deliver plenty of, umm, ACTION!
