Y'know, everyone's got it all wrong. The Nuggets weren't blown out by the Pistons, it was actually a tribute to a Denver/ Detroit sports legend. The "let's play no defense and score a ton of points" was actually honoring Mouse Davis, he of Detroit's run-and-shoot and former coach of the AFL's Denver Gold. People are so insensitive.

Ugh. My god we haven't been that humiliated since the Phoenix Suns dropped a hundred on us - by halftime. That's all we need right now, a reminder of the Paul Westhead days.

How do you score 120 points and lose? Pathetic.

Thanks for being my festival roomie. TIFF was a great experience and I love the city. I enjoyed the film and I hope IFLA gets to premiere it. What kind of teaching prep are you doing for your screenwriting class? I still need to pick your brains for good contemporary S Asian films to screen in courses. More on that...
