The world of soccer went nuts this week. First of all, Montenegro tied England in the Euro qualifiers. Then Serbian fans went batshit crazy the same day and forced a postponement of their match against Italy. Not only did the Serbian fans bring flares into the stadium, they attacked their own team bus.

Seems they didn't like the goalkeeper switching teams back home, so they decided to harm him for the Italy match. He actually hid out in the Italians dressing room to prevent further trouble.

Here is the backstory.

Serbian Fans Go Nuts



BTW, they arrested the masked guy with the tats before he left the country. Even Belgrade is worried.

Meal of Links

Sufjan Stevens talks about his new record. It's a departure.

25 Anti-drug PSAs. That is Rachel Leigh Cook in #8. Even MacGruff makes an appearance. Or two.

An interesting take about seniors. How hard hit are they by the recession? The two main issues, unemployment and healthcare, don't really affect them.

Might be longer lines at the local Starbucks. Baristas have been told to slow down and only make two drinks at a time. Seems quality has been an issue lately.

Dropping In On The Big House



The absolute joy that is "Kung-Fu Hustle". Gotta watch the clips!

While you're at it, take a look at the career of Martin Scorsese. In addition to the obvious ones, deserved props to "The Aviator" and it's probably time to take in another viewing of "The King of Comedy".

It's nearing Halloween. Therefore, time for AMC to crank up "Fearfest" again. Starts on Monday. Hey, "Jeepers Creepers 2" is on the schedule.
