Daves Wide Shut

I'd like to wish you pleasant dreams.  Think of me, in a masquerade outfit, with a creepy-as-heck-and-somewhat-offkey piano playing slowly in the background.  Enjoy your sleep, Dave Pound.......if you can!!!  Muhahahahaha!!!!

.........Seriously, though, have a good night, dogsie.

Deflategate: This Is Really Fun.

I'm sorry, but you have to love this New England Patriots Deflategate business.  Talk about a bizarre and hysterical sports story.  Who's to blame?  Bill Belichick?  Tom Brady?  The Planet Earth can only theorize.  As for myself, I'm enjoying some popcorn and loving the poop out of this development.  My Lord, sports can be fun sometimes.

Super Bowl XLIX - Let's Do's It, Dogsie.

                    Just like Dick Lewis, the Dave Man is watching.

The New England Patriots shall square off against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, daddy, and the Dave Man is requesting no hanky-panky, shenanigans, funny business, nonsense, or even tomfoolery from either side.  Two greats teams are matching up on American Sports' biggest stage.  Let's play football, men.....and let the chips fall where they may.  That is all.

Paging The Dave Pound! Paging The Dave Pound!

Good morning, Dave Pound!!  Let's CRUSH today!!  Being that it's Friday, I want you to enjoy yourself!  But stay the hell away from Francis Buxton!  He's a liar and a thief!  And if you need a place to hide, I've found that giant dinosaurs do the trick!  Peace!

The Academy Award Nominations Are In! Four-Word Reviews Follow!

Here are the films that have been nominated for Best Picture and my four-word review on each.

Birdman - Excellent and thoughtful film.

Boyhood - Glorious piece of Shite.

Selma - Never heard of it.

The Theory of Everything - Too vague a title.

The Imitation Game - Hopefully about Rich Little.

American Sniper - Very, good, violent flick.

Whiplash - Plan on seeing it.

The Grand Budapest Hotel - Possibly greatest movie ever.

Editorial notes:  Nightcrawler starring Jake Gyllenhaal should have been nominated.  This is bull shit.  Furthermore, both critics and audiences LOVED Guardians of the Galaxy, I know it's a silly sci-fi/comedy/adventure.....but it was GREAT, and deserved to be nominated.  The Academy dropped the ball on both of those.  And where's Inherent Vice?  Come on, mang.  Shit, homie, if Budapest Hotel does not win the Oscar for Best Picture, I'm suing the Planet Earth.  Good Day.

I Wish For You An Extremely Pleasant Day, My Wonderful Darlings.

This is "East Side" Dave here.....pledging his undying loyalty to you and your pleasurable existence on this mortal rock.  I hope that your world is filled with all of the romance that life has to offer.  Also, enjoy the Morning Rat Race with myself and Mr. Carl Craft on WRAT 95.9 FM.  Weekday mornings at 6 AM (EST).  Listen to the show online at WRAT.com or the free WRAT app. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some pillows to fluff.  Good 'morrow!


The Grand Budapest Rules And Now I Have Proof.

If you don't know, I've been touting the greatness of Wes Anderson's new cinematic classic, The Grand Budapest Hotel, everywhere that I can.  And last night the Dave Man was proven correct.  The Golden Globes awarded the Budapest Hotel "Best Musical or Comedy".  Now, if Budapest Hotel is somehow beaten at the Oscars by the significantly inferior movie Boyhood (which won "Best Drama"), then your Davey Mac is gonna boycott the holy piss out of the Academy Awards for the rest of my pathetic life.  Good day.

These Are Not The Droids You're Looking For.........

                                          Davey-Wan Kenobi & Friends

.......actually that's a lie.  They are the exact droids that the Empire is searching for......complete with blueprints to the Death Star which we plan on blowing up like a Walmart pinata.  We're gonna explode the space-poop out of that thing, daddy.  Having said that, I might as well pull some Jedi mind shit on these dim Stormtroopers.  I could just point over their shoulder and say, "Hey, look at THAT!!", and when they turn around to look, we run.  It's the same cheap nonsense.  Anyway, have a great day, Dave Pound!!
