Re: “In Bruges”
Gotta disagree with Erik's review here. I LOVED this movie. Colin Farrell, indeed, was fantastic. I wanted to hate him, but he was incredible. Very believable. And I thought the last 40 minutes was some of the most original cinema I've seen in years. I'd hate to give it away, but it was bristling with unpredictable mischief. And Ralph Fiennes with a cockney accent? Marvelous.

Yeah I'll ask the union. Weird. We didn't get formal notice for yesterday's conference, either.

"Matt, I know you're capable of grasping this kind of nuance, even if you are momentarily distracted by the noise. It's your job to tease out the substance for your readers."

Nope. No takers. HYPER-LOCALISM, mate. It's THE FUTURE OF MEDIA IN PORTLAND(TM).
If you have time to write 1000 words on this, however, while simultaneously running your day job, I'll run it on the blog. This is called "free-lancing." Because you'll be doing it for free.
Re: “Al Gore Is A Liar”
@skrizach: All of it is 100% sincere, all quotes real. The only piece of (I would have thought obvious) irony was "the usual Al Gore lying crap" in the 5th from last paragraph. But that will teach me for being English. People often say they can't tell if I'm joking or being sincere.

Wow.
Also: “The Portland Plan and the process we are launching tonight is not about Sam Adams’ vision, it is about your vision. This process has been structured to be about you,” said Fish.
How is this different from Tom Potter's costly "Visioning" product?
Re: “Tax Amnesty: One More Day!”
This is great, but I can't help feeling, where's the reward for those of us who've sweated over these things since we moved to Oregon?
Oh, yes, in heaven, with God. I forgot.
