The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

Finley Signs with Celtics, Still Irrelevant Old Man

Only three days after being released by a San Antonio Spurs team FINALLY starting to realize why they are no longer carded at Applebees, Michael Finley has signed with alleged NBA contenders the Boston Celtics. This adds to an already admirable collection of elderly 3-ball jacking statesman, and continues to confuse me as to the direction of this now-or-never success story, turned whimsical island stronghold for disparaged me-first castaways...

The release of Finley shows a dedicated diligence toward the implementation of the Spurs youth movement. In particular the development of George Hill, the lanky do it all combo guard out of IUPUI (Never heard of it? You're not alone...) Popovich is a no nonsense dude and he likes to reward tough guys, hard workers, and smart playmaking so telling the media openly that Hill is his favorite player on the team, even as an offhand comment, is pretty damn meaningful in my book! Although it seems like a no-brainer move to release long time Spurs jump shooting sidekick Finley (If you love something set it free... or at least let it go somewhere it might get some playing time) I think we now have enough evidence to officially call it a trend after Bowen, Thomas, Barry, and now Mikey F have been jettisoned to make way for budding rook's and soph's, I'm looking your way DeJuan Blair!!

And now a link to some NWS George Hill dik-pics ENJOI!!
