Saturday’s Doubleheader==>AWESOME!!

OK my loyal and faithful readers out there in cyberspace, let’s get right to Billi Pod’s report cards on yesterday’s awesome entertainment doubleheader ...

But, before we do ... let me make this observation as a response to several recent kinda snarky comments/texts ...

Yes ... yes ... I know I use the terms “awesome,” “terrific,” and “excellent” probably way too often in this blog, but ... remember ... in planning my entertainment schedule and events I make a conscious effort to make sure things are indeed “awesome,” “terrific,” and “excellent.” On any given day Billi Pod will have the option of choosing between 20-25 entertainment events. He will also have the benefit of reviews, chat board discussions, and friends recommendations to assist him in his choices.

Sometimes he will make a bad choice but more times than not the events he schedules will live up to their expectations, making his schedule “awesome,” and/or “terrific,” and/or “excellent.”

And this is why he loves living in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.

Now ... moving on to Billi Pod’s report cards on yesterday’s AWESOME entertainment doubleheader ...

THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS==>A.

This one-man show by Mike Daisey illuminates how the CEO of Apple and his obsessions shaped our lives. It has a lot of very in-our-face humor plus disturbing and troubling information regarding Apple and exploited workers in China.

The house was full and the audience was very much into this performance, which clocks in at 1:50, without intermission. It is extremely thought-provoking.

See this!! It runs through December 4th.

When the show was over I had about 2 hours to kill before my next event. It was a bit brisk but otherwise nice, so I walked leisurely up Broadway to the Union Square area and just chilled (no pun intended) until it was time for ...

MONEYBALL==>A+

In this very favorably reviewed movie Brad Pitt shines as Oakland A’s General Manager Billy Beane, who is trying to change baseball’s economic rules of success.

Brad Pitt is remarkable as are Jonah Hill and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The movie serves as a reminder that money is neither the measure of a man nor the ultimate assessment of quality.

I am soooooo glad I finally got around to seeing this. Was very surprised that the house was full. The running time is 2:15, which is a bit long.

Had a bit of a scary moment before the show. As I was looking for the men’s room for the mandatory pit (pun intended) stop before the show, the teeming masses were told that none of the restrooms in the multiplex were available due to “water-pressure” problems.

I thought there was going to be a riot but people finally calmed down. Man, thought Billi Pod, this could be a huge problem because he already had the urge to pee and he knew the length of the movie.

Oh well, he thought ... ain’t nothing he could do about it, so he went to find a seat. About 5 minutes before show time he thought he would check things out and ... whew ... the restrooms were back in operation ... whew ...

Now I am certain many of you are wondering ... “why the f**k is he telling us about this?” Well ... folks ... it is very simple ... he is because he can ... so live with it ...

Back to the movie - if you are a baseball fan then this is a “must-see.”

Came back to PHC and spent the rest of the evening watching college football.

And, speaking of football ... at least the Gators finally pulled out a win over Ferment University. Thank God I didn’t opt to change all of my plans and watch it on PPV. It was bad enough following it on my ESPN app.

I can’t remember the last time I had such a negative feeling about a Gator team. I guess it was back in the Zook era.

And, Half Ass U lost last night to Sarasota Junior College which means they will come into The Swamp next Saturday night (7:00pm on ESPN2) looking for blood. Folks, it ain’t gonna be nice, trust Billi Pod on this.

Anyway ...

It is a bright and beautiful fall day in The Big Apple, a little brisk at 46º at 8:00am.

This is good because Billi Pod has yet another entertainment doubleheader for today --

3:00==>TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD - “Scout, a young girl in a quiet southern town, is about to experience the dramatic events that will affect the rest of her life. She and her brother, Jem, are being raised by their widowed father, Atticus. Wide-eyed Scout is fascinated with the sensitively revealed people of her small town, but, from the start, there's a rumble of thunder just under the calm surface of the life here. Based on the novel by Harper Lee, dramatized by Christopher Sergel.” (Off Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket)

I am really looking forward to this show because I have a history with this play.

What, you are no doubt breathlessly asking? Well, there are two things ... first ...

About 20 years ago I played the bad guy, Bob Ewell, in a production by Theatre Winter Haven. I won the annual “Best Supporting Actor” award.

Then in 2000 I made my Off Broadway debut in a production by The Actors Conservatory Theatre, in which I played Mr. Gilmore, the prosecuting attorney. Actually, it was my way way way way Off Broadway debut since the show was performed in Yonkers.

My dear friends Marvin and Polly Mounts of West Palm Beach and Bob Kent and Billy Denaher of Jacksonville came up to Yonkers to see the show.

I will give some more details about all of this in my posting tomorrow.

The second part of Billi Pod’s entertainment doubleheader is ...

7:00==>BURMESE DAYS - “This world premiere production of George Orwells first novel, is an uncompromising look at the underbelly of the British Empire. Love, friendship and morality are tested against the bitter reality of life in colonial Burma.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)

This is playing at the 59E59 Theaters, one of my favorite venues.

So, my loyal and faithful readers, I will now post this and finish reading the 3 daily papers and then get ready to head out to the Upper Eastside for my first show.

GO GATORS!!

Sooooo Sorry About The Spam!!

Soooooooo sorry about the spam emails everyone is getting from my AOL account.

Thought I had the problem solved and then this morning was another batch. AOL and I are now working on it and hopefully all soon will be taken care of and Billi Pod’s cyberspace world will be back to normal.

Actually, not sure that the use of the word “normal” can ever apply to Billi Pod, but you loyal and faithful readers know and understand what I mean ... I hope ...

It has been very very frustrating and it is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me.

Anyway ... now on to more productive and interesting things like ...

Last night’s benefit show, TWENTY ONE SONG SALUTE, was very very bland and that is giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Neither Tom Wopat nor Debra Monk performed and that was a downer. No reason was given.

My comp. seat was in the upper section of the venue but it wasn’t too bad. The evening was saved because I was seated next to my friend Michael Pederson and that was nice because it gave us time to do some catching up on things and stuff.

Tonight’s entertainment event is ...

8:00==>SEMINAR - “Four aspiring, young novelists sign up for private writing classes with Leonard (Alan Rickman), an international literary figure. They came for a class in writing and got a lesson in survival.” (Broadway - discounted TDF ticket)

All of my theater friends who have seen this show, still in previews, have liked it. It was originally on my schedule for the time I ended up down in Florida. John Scott Reed used my ticket.

Well, the reviews for GODSPELL are now in and the majority have been negative, but most of the negative reviews have a caveat that the show may still be a hit, especially with younger theatergoers.

Almost all were either negative or neutral on Hunter Parrish in the role of Jesus and, frankly, I think in that regard they were basically unfair and/or biased. When I saw the show I thought he did a fine job and the roaring audience seemed to agree.

Billi Pod predicts that the show will have a decent run, nit-picking critics be damned!!

Now on to other stuff ... like ...

Billi Pod has made a promise with himself about tomorrow. What is it, you are no doubt breathlessly asking? Well ... here it is in its entirety ...

“Self ... you are going to see MONEYBALL while it is still playing in Manhattan theaters. The number of show times at the neighborhood house is now down to 3, so get at it.”

So, despite what might come up on my ticket services etc tomorrow==>Billi Pod will see MONEYBALL. It Is So Ordered!!

GO GATORS!!

Monday==>Back To Work You Worker Bees

Well, all of my Worker Bee friends out there in the vastness of cyberspace, it is time to get back to work.

The weekend is over and we poor retirees need you to continue feeding our retirement funds. Too bad you will never be able to retire, but ... that’s just how it is ... so live long and prosper in the workforce.

And, don’t be too down ... this is just your role in life in the 21st Century, so ... just live with it.

Anyway, now on to more important things ...

Yesterday was a super long baseball day for Billi Pod. He left PHC at 12:15pm and got back at 12:45am this morning. He admits to being very tired.

As you loyal and faithful readers know, The Yankees split the Boston FuckSox doubleheader, winning 6-2 in the first game behind an excellent outing from, of all people ... gasp ... AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi ... and then losing 7-4 in, double gasp, 14 innings. Loser Boi probably earned a start in the post season ... damn ...

The second game took 5 hours and 11 minutes. Of course Billi Pod stayed until the bitter end.

The first game was over around 4:15, so I had a couple of hours to kill in da Bronx. Billi Pod wandered a bit and then went to the food court in the shopping mall east of The Grand Concourse and had a couple of slices of ... what else ... pizza.

The second game was a makeup game for the rain out on Friday so, although the announced attendance was 49,072, I would estimate the actual attendance was about 1/2 that number. By the top of the 14th that number had dwindled to about 5,000, if that many.

The second game was frustrating because The Bronx Bombers had numerous opportunities to win in the extra innings but, once again, we were unable to get a crucial hit. In all honesty, the FuckSox also had opportunities and missed them.

The only good thing about game 2 was the fact that my season ticket buddy Erik was there and we had a great time bantering and talking during the game. Erik, being a Worker Bee, left when the game went into extra innings.

The split doubleheader ended Billi Pod’s regular season and brought the stats for games for which he was in attendance to a frustrating record of: 23 wins and 18 losses, or a percentage of .561. Why do I use the word “frustrating?” Well ... here it is ... The Yankees home record this year is: 52 wins and 29 losses, for a percentage of .642.

WTF!! The thought just hit me==>is Billi Pod a jinx? Well, the stats kinda look like it don’t they? WTF!! My head hurts ...

Oh well ... on to other stuff ...

Today, being Monday, is a major errands day.

Tonight, for sure, will be MONEY BALL, the just released Brad Pitt/Jonah Hill movie.

OK, folks, Billi Pod has things and stuff to do ... so ...

Oh, I am already getting very nervous about the upcoming GATORS/BAMA game.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!

Manhattan Is Returning to Normal

Good morning everyone.

It is a beautiful Monday morning in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World. It was 62º at 8:00am and the sky is cloudless and azure blue. What a change from yesterday.

Billi Pod is happy to report that things are returning to “normal” in Manhattan. Unfortunately, things are not going as well out there in the outer-boroughs where thousands are without power and flooding is rampant.

Mass transit is up and running so there is no excuse for you Worker Bees not being at your jobs. Sorry.

We were indeed fortunate that Irene lost a good bit of her punch when she came ashore. Manhattan is lucky that the center of the then tropical storm passed to the East of the Island.

In retrospect I have to admit that I had a great amount of anxiety over what might happen. Whew!!

As I posted yesterday, I was really getting antsy about being in PHC for such an extended period of time. I was feeling as if Billi Pod had become a ... gasp ... couch potato ... why? Well ...

I watched the first game of the YANKEES/ORIOLES doubleheader and the Yankees got shutout 2-0, although Bartolo Colon pitched a very good game.

Then it was The Little League World Series Championship game==>CALIFORNIA vs. JAPAN. It was a very exciting game with California winning 2-1 in the bottom of the 6th (the final regulation inning) with 2 outs. Way to go guys!!

It was around 5:00 when the game was over and Billi Pod was totally antsy. He just had to get out of PHC and do something ... anything ... just get the f**k out ... so ...

Out he went to see a movie ... but ...

It was very eerie-feeling on the streets. Most of the stores and restaurants in the Times Square area were closed. Pedestrian traffic was minimal, mostly confused-looking tourists. Very few cars and, of course, no busses.

The wind was gusting and the sidewalks were more littered than usual because all of the trash cans had been laid-down on their sides to prevent them from becoming airborne. No rain ... but it was still nasty and icky feeling.

Anyway ... the movie was==>30 MINUTES OR LESS, starring Jesse Eisenberg.

For those of you loyal and faithful readers who don’t keep up with important stuff, the story line is: “Two slacker buddies are forced to rob a bank because one of them has been strapped to a bomb by an inept wannabe criminal.”

Reviews have been very mixed, but==>I loved it ... yes ... LOVED IT! Gross, profane, shocking, but gut-busting funny. It is just the kind of humor that Billi Pod loves. I needed this show. It is definitely not a date-movie.

When the movie was over I came back to PHC. The wind was still gusting. No rain but it was very unpleasant during the short walk back to the apartment.

Was able to catch the last innings of the second game of the YANKEES/ORIOLES doubleheader and, thankfully, the Bronx Bomber bats came alive with 5 homers to support a decent outing from Ivan Nova, who won his 14th game. The final score was 8-3.

The Yankees have a final game tonight in Baltimore and then they head to Beantown for a 3-game series with The FuckSox. And, yes, Billi Pod’s future entertainment schedule will be predicated on watching each of these 7:05pm games.

Today, being Monday, it is errands and stuff. My entertainment event is ...

4:00==>La BELLA FAMILIA - “The play centers on Bella, a Puerto Rican hit woman, her family and the neighbors from hell.” (free ticket)

This is a staged reading and the Director is my FaceBook friend David Lee.

At this point I am not certain what, if anything, I will do for the evening. Either catch another movie: CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE, starring Steve Carell, or just stay in and watch the Orioles game ... who knows?

Again==>thanks to everyone out there in the vastness of cyberspace for your concern and support.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!

Review of LARRY CROWNE & Interesting Blog Stats

Good afternoon to all of my Worker Bee friends and loyal and faithful readers out there in the vast wilderness and hinterlands.

Finally caught LARRY CROWNE last night. For those of you not up-to-date on the current releases, the story line is ...

A romantic comedy about Larry (Tom Hanks) a superstore employee who is downsized because he never went to college. He enters a community college where one of his classes is taught by a very disenchanted and unhappy professor (Julia Roberts). They ultimately connect and his life changes forever.

Hanks also co-wrote and directed. It has received very tepid reviews but that didn’t matter because I like Tom Hanks, a lot. So ... I went with not the highest expectations.

Well, I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised and found the show to be very well acted and a lot funnier than I anticipated. No, it’s not gut-busting funny but it is still warmly and charmingly funny. I thought that the supporting cast was excellent.

And, yes, this is indeed a date-movie but it also has a lot of “stuff” that guys can enjoy.

It is what it is ... a rom-com, so, if you are in the mood for a smile ... see it.

As previously posted Billi Pod stayed in for the afternoon to watch the final game of the Tampa Bay series. It was an excellent ball game and a pitcher’s duel between CC Sabathia and James Shields. CC gave a stellar performance, pitching a complete game, giving up only 4 hits, no runs and striking out 9. The Yankees won 1-0. It was CC's 13th win.

That was the good news from Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built.

The bad news==>Alex Rodriguez will undergo surgery today to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee.

Bummer!! It is predicted that he will be sidelined 4-6 weeks. Eduardo Nunez will play third base until A-Rod returns.

On to other things and stuff ... like ... Billi Pod’s entertainment event for tonight ...

8:00==>BROADWAY WINNERS @ Town Hall - A concert featuring Broadway stars performing award-winning music created on and for the Great While Way.” (complimentary ticket)

These concerts are usually very well performed and well worth seeing.

Oh, one final thing to share... you know, when you write a blog you never really know who, if anyone, is reading it. Well, the other day I got the following email (which I have edited to protect the sender’s identity):

“Billi,

Greetings from mid-coast Maine! I enjoyed your blog about Death Takes a Holiday. My grandfather wrote the original screenplay ... I am looking forward to seeing the show on opening night...”

Wow!!

Which leads to the following - in response to several inquiries, Billi Pod wants to share this info with you. As of today, through the past 11 months (when the site first started accumulating stats) Billi Pod Blogs has had==>12,351 viewers. Awesome!! And, no, it doesn’t count the number of times I visit my own site.

The top countries are:

United States: 8,263

France: 1,440

Germany: 269

Russia: 245

Netherlands: 218

Slovenia: 184

Canada: 182

United Kingdom: 102

China: 98

Singapore: 85

I think this is amazing and I just wanted to share the info with you loyal and faithful readers.

OK, everyone, today is still errands day and Billi Pod has some chores and stuff that he needs to do so ...

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!

Billi Pod

“Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.”

Billi Pod’s review of HORRIBLE BOSSES and NYC Cost-of-Living Info.

Billi Pod’s report card on HORRIBLE BOSSES==>LOVED IT!!

The storyline==>Dale (Charlie Day), Nick (Jason Bateman) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) are all stuck in terrible jobs, at the mercy of employers whose power is absolute and arbitrary. The three best-buds concoct a scheme to off their bosses and then all Hell breaks loose.

It is gut-busting funny. Dirty, profane, sexist, definitely non-PC and teeming with gross-out frat-boy humor. Not a date movie by a long shot (no pun intended).

Guys, need a guilty pleasure? Then see it!! Oh ... make sure you stay for the credits at the end of the movie. Really funny.

It is a beautiful morning in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.

This afternoon Billi Pod will be at Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed And Ego Built, for the Tampa Bay game, with AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi on the mound. Loser Boi seems to pitch every time Billi Pod is in attendance. WTF?

It is alleged that John Scott Reed and a friend will be at the game. I will believe that when I see him there and after I have checked his photo-ID.

Last night’s game was rained out and reset for some time in September. Hopefully this afternoon Derek will get 2 hits and reach the 3,000 mark with Billi Pod in the stadium. The Yanks also play Tampa Bay tomorrow afternoon.

Oh, in closing Billi Pod wants to share with you loyal and faithful readers out there in the vastness of cyberspace some just released info regarding the cost-of-living in Manhattan ... take a deep breath ... now ... exhale ... now get ready ... here we go ...

The “average” rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan in an elevator building, with a doorman, is $3,405. If the building was built after 2004 the average is $3,868.

In Midtown West (Hell’s Kitchen - where Billi Pod lives):

Studio: $2,253

One-bedroom: $2,906

Two-bedroom: $4,166

Despite the high rents only 0.72 percent of Manhattan rental apartments are currently vacant.

Just thought you might like to have this bit of information. No, this isn’t Omaha, or Columbia or Lakeland - it is New York City.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!

“Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.”

The Bronx Bombers Win & The Tree of Life

OH YES!! So sweet==>The Bronx Bombers took it to the Yets @ Pity Field last night winning 5-1.

“YANKS RULE CITI IN SUBWAY OPENER: Nova, Bullpen Shut Down Mets.” - The Daily News

“SIX IN THE CITY: Yankees extend streak with win in Subway opener.” - The NY Post

Admittedly, we did get the benefit of what was probably a blown call in the 7th inning when Jose Reyes was called out sliding into 3rd base.

Game 2 is at 4:10pm with Bartolo Colon, coming off the DL, on the mound for the Yankees.

On to other things ... like ...

Yesterday afternoon Billi Pod saw the movie THE TREE OF LIFE - “An unhappy architect’s (Sean Penn) recollections of his childhood in 1950s Texas with an authoritarian dad (Brad Pitt), an ethereal loving mom (Jessica Chastain) and two younger brothers, takes place in the midst of a stunning depiction of the beginnings of the universe and Life on Earth.”

I knew from the beginning that this movie has caused a huge schism in the movie-critic world, some lavish in their praise and others totally disdainful. I also knew that it clocked in at 2 hours and 20 minutes.

So what can I say about it? Well, first of all the cinematography is incredible and the scenes involving the beginning of the universe were breathtakingly beautiful.

Beyond that, I haven’t a clue what the film is about. It is weird as f**k, to put it mildly. The acting by the 3 young boys is terrific. As is all-too-often the case lately, much of the critical dialogue was whispered. Man, do I hate this.

Yes, it did hold my attention and it brought back memories of growing up in a small town but I was also kinda relieved when it was over.

Does Billi Pod recommend it? Well ... in the name of fair and unbiased reporting==>only if you are a true cinema buff/affectionatto. Otherwise, save your money. Jus sayin ...

Tonight’s entertainment event is ...

8:00==>UNNATURAL ACTS - “A drama inspired by real events that occurred at Harvard University in the spring of 1920, when a secret court of administrators attempted to purge the university of suspected homosexual students. (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket).

This show has gotten very favorable reviews and I am really looking forward to seeing it.

It is a beautiful morning in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World and Billi Pod intends to take advantage of the nice weather by roaming for a couple of hours. Not sure where yet, probably downtown.

In closing ... I hope all of you loyal and faithful readers out there in cyberspace are having a happy and safe weekend. Be well ...

Thursday==>A Movie Doubleheader for Billi Pod.

Good evening my loyal and faithful readers. I know this posting is a bit late but Billi Pod has an excuse ... well ... maybe not an excuse ... more like ... maybe ... a reason ... or ... not ... anyway ...

What’s going on?

Well, today Billi Pod had a movie doubleheader that interfered with his ability to make a timely posting ...

Yes ... I know ... but I am confident you will understand once you take a few deep breaths ...

Billi Pod’s first movie of the day was ...

THE HANGOVER PART II, the sequel to the mega-hit, starring Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha. Two years after their escapades in Las Vegas the crew is headed to Thailand to celebrate Stu’s (Ed Helms) wedding. All hell breaks loose, of course, including a Mike Tyson-like facial tattoo, a shaven head, a severed finger and a chain-smoking drug-dealing monkey.

This has gotten mixed reviews but it is just the kind of humor Billi Pod loves, and he wasn’t disappointed. It was gross-out from the very beginning to the ending credits. It wasn’t as good as the first film but it is worth seeing if you are in the mood for guilty laughs and frat-boy comedy.

Yes, it is a guy movie, without a doubt, and it ain’t a date-movie for sure.

Came back to PHC, checked email, ate the usual fruit and cheese plate and then headed out to see the second movie ...

THE ART OF GETTING BY, a comedy/drama that has just opened on a limited release.

The story line is ... “George, a lonely and fatalistic teen living in the Upper Eastside of NYC, has made it almost all the way through his senior year without ever having done any of his homework assignments. He is befriended by Sally, a popular but complicated girl who recognizes him to be a kindred spirit.

They become best-friends and perhaps even more but things get complicated family-wise and school-wise and relationship-wise as graduation approaches.”

The two young leads are superb. George is played by Freddy Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Finding Neverland) and Sally by Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew).

I found this movie to be charming and extremely well acted. It doesn’t fall into the well of sentimentality. It also helped that it takes place in New York City.

I recommend it. I understand it will have a general release on July 15th, so==>see it if you want something a bit different.

It was 9:00pm when I got back to PHC. A very interesting day ... yep ... very interesting.

The Yankees have the day off, so no Bronx Bomber ball to watch. They split yesterday’s day/night doubleheader with The Reds so they come off the 6 game road trip with a record of 4-2. We will take that.

Tomorrow they begin a 3 game series against The Rockies, followed by a 3 game series against The Brewers. Billi Pod will be at 3 of the games as part of his season ticket package.

OK, my loyal and faithful readers, in the name of fair and unbiased reporting Billi Pod has an admission to make ...

Last night he left the NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC’s performance of Janacek’s opera “The Cunning Vixen,” at intermission. Yes, he was outta there.

Sorry, folks (and you opera-queens out there), but it just didn’t work for me ... so let the flames and snide postings/texts/emails begin ... bring it on ...

OK, will post this now so I can catch the season premiere of the new comedy on FX called WILFRED, starring Elijah Wood (“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy), as Ryan, a young man struggling to make his way in the world. Wilfred is a neighbor’s dog, but he appears only to Ryan as a crude man in a cheap dog suit.

Sounds like fun doesn't it.

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
