Foggy morning in Piedmont Park & the night before...

MOVIE NEWS - "Defiance" expands (the movie...not the city in Ohio...God forbid), "Mall Cop" arrives (the movie...not the actual rent-a-security-guard...God forbid). Go see "Slumdog", winner of 4 Golden Globes. Or check out "Let the Right One In", a Swedish coming of age movie...with vampires! It's much more than "Twilight" with funny accents; it's more like "A Christmas Story" meets "The Hunger".

1/13 - (Metropolites can look forward to "Dark Knight" in Club M tonight. Heath Ledger...or his estate, rather, won the Golden Globe for Best-Supporting Actor.)

1/16 & 1/17 - The High Museum's Danish Film Festival is a good option, too. "Just Another Love Story" on Friday and "With Your Permission" on Saturday, both in the Rich Auditorium of the Woodruff Arts Center. -DFF-

ART NEWS - "JC Superstar Gospel" opens @ the Alliance. I was worried about whether I would spend most of the time watching this re-vamped version of JCS comparing it to the original and thinking about how the beloved lyrics are "supposed" to sound. The offer of a $10 preview ticket cleared that right up...we are going! Thanks, B, and I promise to keep my mouth shut!

1/16 - Friday Jazz at the High - This Friday from 5-10 PM. -high.org-

LOCAL NEWS - Clean house! Get rid of towels and electronics - It's time to clean house; when you are getting rid of all that old stuff, keep in mind that the Atlanta Humane Society needs old towels and washcloths to keep the puppies clean, happy, and ready for adoption! Also, when getting rid of old electronics, you can drop them off at Grady High School (8th St parking lot) from 8 AM to 4 PM on the 3rd Saturday of every month; that's this Saturday! -complete list-

Speaking of cleaning house, we've been at Metropolis for 6 years as of January 15th! Happy Anniversary!

U.S. NEWS - Sooner or Gator -nyt- - Don't even try to explain the BCS to me. Utah is undefeated, so they are number 2? Oklahoma is in the play-off game against Florida, but because they are beaten by #1 Florida, they finish #5. Huh? Even the Academy Awards are easier to understand than that!

"The title is the Gators’ second under Coach Urban Meyer, who became the first coach in the Bowl Championship Series era to win two titles. Florida received 48 first-place votes out of 65 in the Associated Press poll released early Friday morning; undefeated Utah finished second (16 first-place votes), followed by U.S.C. (one first-place vote), Texas and Oklahoma."

FRANCE NEWS - They noticed we're missing a few jobs. The jobless rate is the highest in a decade, but the actual number of jobless is the highest since 1945.
