<br />
As you may know, The NCAA has been playing their Tournament the past 3 weeks (aka "March Madness," aka "that Bracket you filled out that went bust on Day 1"), taking 68 hungry teams until only 1 is left, the champion.<br />
<br />
But much, Much, MUCH more importantly, I have taken it upon myself to rank all 68 teams <i>by their team name, or Mascot</i>. To be clear, when I say Mascot, I don't mean the furry wretch that jumps around the cheerleaders and tries to paw at them. I mean the Platonic embodiment of the team name itself.<br />
<br />
In other words, I want to know what would happen if a shark were to battle a Samurai, if Hornets went toe to toe with Lynx, and so on. I have ranked the team names on the following criteria:<br />
<br />
Awesomeness - obvi<br />
Badassery - similar to but not the as Awesomeness<br />
Speed/Strength/Durability - the "measurables"<br />
Meanness - This helps win battles<br />
Indigenous Atrocities - some of these names are not cool! (Also, fair warning; I am blissfully inconsistent about which historical atrocities bug me and which do not. Deal with it.<br />
<br />
Please leave any comments you have below, and let's get to it!<br />

<br />
#68 <b>SOONERS </b>(Oklahoma) - OU was the first college basketball team I really cared about (the Stacey King, Mookie Blaylock days), so you can see I play no favorites with these rankings. Hopefully you know that the name "Sooners" comes from the great Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889 (opening the land for settlers to claim a plot of land) and how "some" of the settlers jessssst couldn't wait and snuck over "sooner" than they were supposed to. (This might sound familiar to you: it was depicted in FAR AND AWAY with Tom and Nicole.) All that's fine, cute even, but here's the problem: Way back in the early 1800s, after breaking innumerable treaties (and directly defying the Supreme Court, why or why is Jackson on the $20? but I digress), many Native American tribes were forcibly marched from their homelands in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi (and a few other places) West. Namely, Oklahoma, which became Indian territory. Look into the <a href="http://is.gd/sn5rcI" target="_blank">Trail of Tears</a> and find out why your country is not as great as you think it is. Fast forward to the late 1880s, and settlers (read: white people) are now claiming land in Oklahoma. Where did the American Indians go? AGAIN, treaties broken, forced off the land, the same old story, death and destruction. (And the government is STILL doing it to them. Check out <a href="http://is.gd/NinmG0" target="_blank">United States vs. Sioux Nation of Indians</a>, among other cases. Not to get too preachy (okay, definitely to get too preachy), but the Sooner name, while perhaps an endearing story on its own, hearkens to one of the most shameful (AND CONTINUED) acts of law-breaking treaty-ignoring despicable behavior any civilized government has conceived. And thus, it lands the Sooners at the bottom of our list. (I promise, things get cheerier on ahead: lots of dangerous animals and stabbity dudes.)<br />

Yes, some are worse than others (If I ever meet you, Daniel Snyder, fair warning....), but I find them all outdated and unnecessary. That being said. Utah THE STATE is named after the Utes Tribe. Like, the entire state. And that wasn't done mean-spiritedly or nonchalantly, but to honor the fact that Utah had belonged to the Tribe for a very long time. So I'm a little more ok with the state University having the name Utes. Although, it does make for quirky grammar. The Utah Utes, or, "Land of the Utes Utes."<br />

#35 <b>BADGERS </b>(Wisconsin) - I'm not a fan of Wisconsin the basketball team (mostly because of POS Bo Ryan), but I have to admit, badgers are pretty badass. Fearless, mean...even their name means they are annoying you! I'd love to train a couple as guard-badgers.<br />

Flying was literally life or death for quite a few years, and you had to be extremely brave to get up there and find out.<br />

#26 <b>KNIGHTS </b>(Fairleigh Dickinson) - Understandably many of the Knights were also Crusaders, but many weren't, and in Europe Knights were pretty unstoppable. (Until they met the Mongols. Why can't we have a Golden Horde? They'd wipe all these so-called warriors to pieces.) I have to admit I'm also adding points because of the cool commercials for Assassin's Creed, which I have never played, but I would (most likely) rule.<br />

#08 <b>BEARCATS </b>(Cincinnati) - Another overranking by me, mostly because I am endlessly fascinated with bearcats, which are <a href="http://is.gd/r2mGE5" target="_blank">officially called Binturongs</a>. Go do some Google Image searching: they really do seem like a cross between a small bear and a giant cat! And, they are impossibly ugly in the most adorable way. I think they'd win most battles on looks alone.<br />

#04 <b>WOLVERINES </b>(Michigan) - Did I say badgers were fierce? Take that times a zillion and you have the wolverine. Scared of literally nothing and willing to eat literally anything - a fantastic combination. I'm not kidding about the fearless thing. It's genetic. Wolverines will not back away from a wolf, a pack of wolves, a bear, or even a B2 Bomber. (Yeah. I went there.)<br />

#06 <b>JAGUARS </b>(Southern) - I give them more credit than Panthers because their mottled skin actually helps them hide in many more topographical situations. AND, Jaggies are the third biggest cat, behind Tigers and Lions. (And let's not forget the V12 variant.)<br />

#04(tie) <b>BEARS </b>(Baylor) and <b>GOLDEN BEARS </b>(California) - Everyone knows bears are the BEST! So high is my love of bears that I am actively trying to get Koalas and Pandas to NOT be called Bear, as they so obviously aren't. (Inferior beasts.) Of all the animals that could develop anything close to human-like intelligence, after the apes I think bears stand the best chance. Don't be surprised if they are ruling the world some day. (Fun Bonus Fact: the name Beowulf is actually a kenning of Bee + Wolf, which meant Bear!)<br />

#03 <b>JAYHAWKS </b>(Kansas) - I'm sure you've heard of the Civil War, and all the bloodshed, death and such. but what you don't know is that the ten years BEFORE the war, specifically in Kansas, made the war itself look like a tea party. What were they fighting for? Whether Kansas would be a Free or Slave state. The fighting was hella-fierce, much closer to what we'd call terrorism and savagery today than any rule-bound war. The Pro-Slavery side were called Border Ruffians (which would make a great band name, no matter what its origins), while the Anti-Slavery fighters were called Jayhawkers. I'm not going to lie: many of the Jayhawkers committed what we'd call today (and even back then) vicious war crimes. HOWEVER, they were on the right side of History, and more importantly MY side of history (not being a fan of Slavery), so I put them up here. Perhaps inconsistent with other rankings, but to quote the great Martin Luther: "You don't like it? Make your own freakin' list!"<br />

<br />
#02 <b>SHOCKERS </b>(Wichita State) - "Shockers" refers to a shock of harvested wheat, so central to the early (and even today) Kansas economy. I know you're wondering: why would I put a shock of wheat this high? AHEM. Um, this might just have to be one of those mysteries. But the mascot is adorable, is he not? Just look at him? What's that sign he's doing? It....must be a W, for Wichita, right? Yeah....that must be it. (Somewhere my mother is becoming very suspicious, but also afraid to inquire further.)<br />

<br />
#01 <b>SEAWOLVES </b>(Stony Brook) - When I first heard about Stony Brook making the Tournament I was excited. "Seawolves" is another name for Orca, aka Killer Whales, the most underrated intelligent animal on earth. THEN I found out that the name referred to actual wolves, and I was kinda sad. Plus, it seemed a little bit lame. Wolves in the sea? BUT THEN I found out that the story of the Seawolf comes from the Tlingit tribe: a mythical creature that brings good luck to those able to see it. Mythical Seawolves? That are mostly invisible? Endorsed by Native Americans? I'M IN, BABY! I AM SO IN! That earns the #1 spot in our rankings.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's hoping you spot a Seawolf,<br />

With the sad passing of Maureen O'Hara, I broke out my Top list of Redheads from back in 2006. (Originally the list was 50, but upon publishing I immediately realized I made terrible omissions, and a supplemental list was necessary.)<br />
<br />
Remember, all the jokes are nine years old! But don't focus on that, focus on the lovely Gingers, especially Maureen.<br />

Supplemental Interlude<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Again, I want to STRESS that those jokes were written in 2006. Some of them were funny (then), you gotta believe me!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">[There were a few names that were omitted because they dyed their hair originally, such as Claire Danes or Julia Roberts (although in her case, she wouldn't have made it anyway). Others were of dubious certainty, and at the very least weren't "known" for their titian locks: Napoleon, William Blake, Genghis Khan, Judas, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Emily Dickinson, and Malcolm X. Also, it's Little Red Riding HOOD]</span><br />

In 1975 Paul Simon wrote the iconic song "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." Featuring a sultry drumbeat, a sleepy ballad for the lyrics then the rousing sing-along chorus, it's no wonder it became one of his biggest hits.<br />
<br />
The only problem: as we sing the song we come to realize that there are only 5 ways, not 50!<br />
<br />
They are:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You Just <b>slip out the back, Jack (1)</b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a new plan, Stan (2)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You <b>don't need to be coy, Roy (3)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just get yourself free</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hop on the bus, Gus (4)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You don't need to discuss much</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just <b>drop off the key, Lee (5)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And get yourself free</span><br />
<br />
<br />
That's fine for Jack, Stan, Roy, Gus and Lee, but what about the others? Is it possible there are only 5 ways, and Paul realized that 50 was more musical? (Candyshop notwithstanding.) More likely, Paul was just having so much fun that he forgot to include the other lyrics.<br />
<br />
Thankfully there's me.<br />
<br />
In an effort to help a fellow musician and writer, I have taken it upon myself to pen the missing lyrics. Bonus: the song was written from a female perspective to a male, and thus featured only male names. However, we are a full-service lover-leaving advice Empire, so you will find both male and female names below. You might even find your own name, in which case tell your significant other I'm sorry.<br />
<br />
Without further ado:<br />
<br />

Things haven't gone that well for me this year, for reasons I'm not going to get into, at least today. The point is, I, like many of you, would rather<br />
<br />
be doing something other than what I'm actually doing. <br />
<br />
The following are the Top Ten things I'd Rather B Doing (than what I AM doing), presented in rhyming couplets, because that's just how I bagel.<br />

</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few years ago Gwyneth Paltrow named her child Apple, which set off a round of mockery for her choices. I'm fairly sure <a href="http://hyperionchronicles.blogspot.com/2005/02/338-potpourri-volume-xxxii.html">I was a part of it</a>. But the longer I live, the more I come around. In the future, names will get more and more distinctive and less of a stigma than a benefit to be unusual. (I've been saying this for years: urban black women are WAY ahead of the curve.)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am an expert on names - the greatest who ever lived. Unlike some who only look at...well, nothing, I think of how a name feels to hear, how it feels to say...the mouth feel of words as they roll off the tongue. I know some of you will shake your head at this - but hear me, disbelieving idiots - </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the way a word sounds and feels is every bit as important to conveying meaning and experience as the alleged meaning a word has. Hear me, and know it for Truth!</span></b></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back to fruit though: why not? They are delicious, nutritious, usually pretty to look at, and every name means something. As for the whole "kids will make fun of them" argument, give me a break. This is overblown, and any fears are outgrown soon. Later on the child will be happy with an unusual name. However, while I support Gwyneth's philosophy, I don't personally care for Apple as a name. Thus, being helpful to anyone else out there looking to name their child after a juicy fruit (but not Juicyfruit - if you're going gum, you can't be Hubba Bubba for a boy or Wrigley for a girl), I have the five best fruits to consider, as well as five you should leave alone. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s614.photobucket.com/albums/tt225/hyperioninstitute/Top%20Ten%20Lists/?action=view&current=MissDenmark3.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Miss Universe,Miss Universe" border="0" src="http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt225/hyperioninstitute/Top%20Ten%20Lists/MissDenmark3.jpg" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">On Monday night they held the Miss Universe Pageant, eventually picking Miss Mexico (Jimena Navarrete) as the winner out of 83 contestants. That's all well and good, but with Miss Pluto not even considered I cannot accept the legitimacy of the Miss Universe Pageant.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">As such, I decided to go through the list and pick my own Top Ten. I mainly used <b><a href="http://www.missuniverse.com/members/contestants">these pictures provided by the Pageant itself </a></b>(although some of the pictures didn't give a very good look, so much supplemental research was needed.) I asked my friend Jadriana to pick her own Top Ten list independently; I thought it would be a good juxtaposition. She had her list done in like 4 minutes. Me? It took me 40 minutes to go down from 83 to 42, and another two hours to get down to 18. The final cut to 10 was excruciating.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">This backs up a long-held belief I have about women: they love to judge other women. They are much better at it than men, too. Everyone says men judge women on their looks, but the truth is men are much more inclusive in their list of hotties. It usually boils down to "girls I'd do," "girls I'd do but not proudly," "girls I'd do but not tell anyone," and "girls I'd do after I got drunk first." That last category men like to call the "women I'd never sleep with list." You get my point: men are easy to please.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">On the other hand, a woman looks at another woman and instantly knows the last time she shaved her legs, if she gained four ounces since the weekend and what brand of shampoo she's using. Go figure.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">As I was making the tough cuts (seriously: <a href="http://www.missuniverse.com/members/contestants">take a look at these girls</a> - and click on each icon for full size - it's hard to narrow down!) Jadriana felt the need to mock me. "It takes you that long? I look at the face... if i don't like the face it doesn't matter how big the tits are."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I spluttered in indignation. "Just because someone cares enough to take the time to do the job right is no reason to criticize!"</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">"Are you basing your picks on whether you'd sleep with them? Don't do that - we'll be here all night."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">See what I mean? Women just like to judge.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Anyway, eventually I managed to come up with ten, so I am putting down both lists below, along with pithy comments. If you have a different list than mine (which I doubt - mine is correct), leave your list in the comments.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

In theory I get paid a small % if you use that link to buy something. I have no idea how it works yet, so this is just an experiment.

If it's a distraction or leads to corruption I won't do it. I may get next-to-no traffic, and no one cares, but I care!

<div style="color: magenta; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>[Back on April 26, 2006 this original list ran. I quickly realized I had made some omissions, and three days later I ran the following addendum]</b></div><br />

</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As soon as my Top 50 Redheads list came out I started hearing about it from people, and I realized I'd made many glaring omissions. For the record, I'd like it noted that A) Most of 41-50 were put there as jokes and B) It was a HUGE effort to get all 50 together. Nonetheless I have no excuses.<br />
<br />
[There were a few names that were omitted because they dyed their hair originally, such as Claire Danes or Julia Roberts (although in her case, she wouldn't have made it anyway). Others were of dubious certainty, and at the very least weren't "known" for their titian locks: Napoleon, William Blake, Genghis Khan, Judas, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Emily Dickinson, and Malcolm X. Also, it's Little Red Riding HOOD (or Red Cap, if you want to be technical), so leave it alone already. Zheesh!]<br />
<br />
Below are 12 of the biggest blunders I made, and what numbers they should have been. Throw out the bottom ten on the previous list and adjust the others accordingly (Or just be happy with this list and quit sending me emails. Seriously: Don't you bastards have anything better to do? I feel like slapping you all like red-headed stepchildren.)<br />
<br />
Honorable Mention: Red Buttons, Red Adair, Red Auerbach, Red Skelton<br />

This is because I looked at the 50 nominated songs was a set without regards to who won. I listened to every song at least twice, and the ones who made the list usually 4-5 times, to get my order right. You may not agree with me, but I thought about it a lot. As for Barbara Streisand's two winning songs not included - they suck. Yes, I'm a longtime Streisand hater, but you put personal feelings aside for Official Lists. I acknowledge she can sing, but those two songs - "The Way We Were" and "Evergreen" - I'm sorry, but they are terrible. The only way I can figure they were nominated and won was because of Streisand's star power. Okay, enough banality - back to the List.]</span><br />

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In honor of the new Horror/Thriller <b>Shutter Island</b> coming out today I thought I would do a Top Ten List of Martin Scorsese pictures. Then I realized that three years ago <a href="http://rankeverything.blogspot.com/2006/10/martin-scorsese-films.html" id="lz93" title="If you haven't seen these ten films, FOR SHAME!">I already made one</a>. So, I decided to make a the list of best Leonardo DiCaprio movies instead.<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Judging the movie, not the performance, which would be a different list.)</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Leo's had an interesting career.<sup>1</sup> After some early TV work as a kid (including the infamous <i>Growing Pains</i> role), DiCaprio came to prominence with an unexpected Oscar nomination as a retarded boy in <b>What's Eating Gilbert Grape?</b> Then it was teen angst films, until a little something I like to call <b>Titanic</b> came around, and Leo-Mania ensued. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Leo backlash was predictable and intense, fueled mostly - I believe - by the fact that so many (myself included) were DEEPLY uncomfortable holding any allegiance or admiration to someone worshiped by white girls everywhere. Leo kept plugging away, and upon finding Scorsese for their first (of 4 so far with #5 in the works) collaboration <b>Gangs of New York</b>. </div><br />
From that point Leo's star started to rise steadily again. More Award nominations, Box-Office Muscle, and respect of peers and the general public until you got to 2006, when it became clear - even if still painful to admit - that any serious discussion of Best Actors Under 40 simply HAD to include Leo in the Top 5, if not at the apex. (I've done this list before, informally, but it's out of date; someone remind me - we WILL do it again.<sup>2</sup>)<br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Leo had arrived, and it was cool to like him again.<sup>3</sup></div><br />
<blockquote><br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>1</sup> Leo's career path reminds me of Justin Timberlake. Initially N*SYNC was the best of the "boy bands," and you'd even bob your head in the car to "Bye Bye Bye" (or if no one was looking, do that puppet-dance thing). But actually LIKE N*SYNC? Not if you were a guy, or a girl over 22. When Timberlake hooked up with Britney it seemed all over. But then they broke up, he wrote the scathing "Cry Me a River," unabashedly emulated MJ's sound, produced some pretty decent pop songs, and started banging every smoking hot chick he could find. He even killed as a SNL Host. Suddenly it was far more acceptable to be a Timberlake fan. Uh, not that I am. No, not at all....<br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>2</sup> Both Matt Damon and Jon Hamm will fall from the Under-40 ranks in a few months, so the impetus is on. Thank the Light, we've still got some time for Freddie Prinze Jr. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>3</sup> ...Although maybe not by everyone. A couple weeks ago I was talking to a friend of mine about her upcoming baby. She named him Leonardo DaVinci ____, to help inspire the child to greatness. The middle name was necessary, she claimed, "so the world will never be confused who he was really named after." I was too scared to ask whether her fear was that people would think her son was named after DiCaprio, or the Ninja Turtle. Personally I would be fine with the Teenage Terrapin being the namesake. After all, Leonardo did lead. You'd want to avoid Raphael, who was cool, but, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bojx9BDpJks">if my sources can be believed</a>, quite crude. <br />
</span></div></blockquote><br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Below is the list of Leo's Top Ten Films. Here is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000138/" id="zqar" title="IMDB stands

True, I haven't seen a few of them (covered below<sup>4</sup>), but I did the best I could. If <b>Shutter Island</b> or any of the other 30 projects he's got in development end up any good, we can update the list later on. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

I took my sisters to see it, me wanting to introduce them to a famous literary work, them for....well, they were young. Anyway, at one point a naked male butt appeared on screen and my youngest sister - already at the breaking point with her love for all things Leo - let out a scream like a banshee at a Def Leppard concert. To this day I don't know what embarrasses her more: that she screamed out in a theater like that, or that she did so at the sight of Gerard Depardieu's bulbous pock-marked ass. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I'd link to visual proof, but some things simply cannot be unseen.)</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

Then again, it's probably the only way to get most people to even pay attention, so hard to complain. I will say that DiCaprio NAILS the Rhodesia accent, which is much tougher than you might expect. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(And not for nothing, but Djimon Hounsou absolutely goes in my "Top Ten List of Actors who would be considered Crowe or Penn-level Good if only they were White."

The site of Kenneth Branagh (basically channeling the Woody persona) in bed in an accidental foursome with Leo was priceless. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Re-watching this movie with what we know now, it's amazing we didn't see Charlize Theron's potential greatness sooner.

Even I remember when pilots were seen as heroes. DiCaprio is wonderful here, never a false moment of a genius kid pretending to be an adult - but painfully aware he's clomping around in his dad's shoes. Christopher Walken earned a deserved Oscar nomination, Tom Hanks was quietly brilliant, and Amy Adams foreshadowed her ascension. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

I do enjoy it, but maybe Hughes is a hard subject to warm up to. Cate Blanchett won an Oscar and Kate Beckinsale (and even Gwen Stefani!) are pitch-perfect, but Leo holds every scene together. The 2002 double-bill of great performances (along with <i>Catch Me</i>) put Leo back in firm A-List Icon status, but it was this performance, full of Hughes's charm and bravado but also his crippling OCD, that made me realize we were looking at someone who aspired to - and may hit - the Pantheon. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

I noticed <a href="http://rankeverything.blogspot.com/2006/10/martin-scorsese-films.html" id="pmax" title="in my Scorsese ranking">in my Scorsese ranking</a> that I had <i>Departed</i> ahead, but I'd just seen it. <i>Gangs</i> has more flaws, but is also more epic in scope, and while Jack's performance in <i>Departed</i> diminishes a bit with repeated viewings, Daniel Day-Lewis's Bill the Butcher only gets better. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Damon was great, too, but DiCaprio shown. I know some will disagree, but for my money, <i>Departed</i></span> definitively showed that Leo is the better actor, or at least has the higher ceiling, and greater range.) </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

Ultimately I realized I was A) picking my favorite of Leo's films over what is the best and B) unconsciously afraid of the backlash. Afraid? Me? Bring it on. But we'll get to that. In its own right, <i>R+J</i> is one of the most underrated movies of the '90s, a film that at the time was crushed by critics. They were just scared, seeing true Visionary Art as <i>avant garde</i> pretentiousness. They were wrong. I cannot tell you how great this movie is. The film is by Baz Luhrmann, who went on to make <i>Moulin Rouge!</i> next. (I suppose I either just made my case in one sentence, or turned you off from <i>R+J</i> forever. I'll live with that.) Luhrmann uses Shakespeare's dialogue from the play, which had been done before (some time check out Ian McKellan's terrific <i>Richard III</i>), but never quite like this. It sounds so hokey, but the key decision (in my opinion) was to change the gun names from Beretta and Colt to Dagger and Long-Sword. (And don't even get me started on the Fishtank/Des'ree scene. MAGIC.) Exquisitely matching soundtrack to film in a way that put Luhrmann on the Mount Rushmore<sup>5</sup> of Directors who know how to use Source Music,<sup>6</sup> <i>Romeo + Juliet</i> is a kaleidoscope of wonder, heart-thumping romance, and simmering lust. One of the most romantic movies of all time.<sup>7</sup> There. I said it. Deal. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And the #1 Leonardo DiCaprio movie ever (so far) is......</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

Look, I get it. The teenage girl/Leo thing was ridiculous, and it made even the most heterosexual man feel very uncomfortable. And the movie was such a Cultural Flag, you couldn't not talk about it in the spring of '98. Our society being what it is, it was only natural that wave after wave of protest would lap at the hull of Titanic's popularity. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I just realized that with a little moxie I could make 10 more groaningly bad boat puns before I'm done, and since the next end-note already subjects you to my oddball sense of humor, I promise to stop now. You owe me.)</span> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>Titanic</i> was everywhere. James Cameron was everywhere. Jack and Rose were everywhere. Leo Mania was everywhere. THAT DAMNED SONG was everywhere, and along with it, Celine Dion became a permanent fixture in our lives for the next decade. It was all too much. I get it. I really do. But that does not change the fact that <i>Titanic</i> was one helluva great movie. Disaster movies are tough to pull off. They usually fail. Ship movies are tough to pull off. Cheesy Romances are tough as nails to pull off. You put all three together? James Cameron had to make us simultaneously believe the boat was actually sinking, that 2000 people were in danger of dying, care about them, freeze right along with them, all while caring about the fate of two random people who really didn't know much about anything. AND HE DID IT! We've come to recognize Kate Winslet as one of the best actresses alive. <b>Avatar</b> forced us to acknowledge Cameron is worth the hype: he really is the King of this world, and possibly others. We've even forgiven and come around on Leo; hence this list. But many people haven't forgiven <i>Titanic</i>. You know why? Besides all the reasons I mentioned, you loved <i>Titanic</i> initially. You did. You were swept up, maybe you even cried a little. Then you felt like part of the maddening crowd when you realized every other person on the planet had a similar experience. So you rebelled. You pretended you never liked it. You trashed the actors, the director, the dialogue - anything you could. But you know and I know that deep down inside you - your heart will go on. And that's okay. Put your arms out and soar, baby: I won't let you fall. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<blockquote><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>4</sup><b> Leo Movies I have not seen</b> - Haven't yet traveled with Kate and Leo in <b>Revolutionary Road</b>, but no one has been falling all over themselves with praise. This writer's eyes haven't seen Leo's first real movie, <b>This Boy's Life</b>, and can't find anyone who has, though by all accounts it is good. For some reason I have not digested <b>What's Eating Gilbert Grape?</b>, for which Leo got an Oscar nomination back in the day before becoming a household name. The Wikipedia plot account sounds absolutely ghastly, but I'm assured by Koz and Kaida that it's quite good - Kaida said it was the "feel good gigantic woman retarded boy house burning pool drowning face slapping movie of the year." Well then. I'd have to check my journal, but I'm pretty sure I have not seen <b>The Basketball Diaries</b> - though I did watch a lot of the Columbine coverage several years later, so I think I'm okay. Finally, I have not yet had a day with Leo at <b>The Beach</b>. For what it's worth, when I called Carlos to see if he had any insight on the movies I'd missed (or Leo in general), I found the Wolf-Cat in surprisingly eloquent form. Besides explaining the evolution of late '90s Boy-Bands to a "Doctoral Thesis-Defense" degree, Carlos had this to say: "Leo's best movie was <b>Romeo + Juliet</b>. His best character was the guy in <b>Basketball Diaries</b>. But his best performance, in my opinion, was in <b>The Beach</b>." All right, Wolf-Cat; now you got me curious. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>6</sup> Source Music is previously-recorded music you put into a film - usually pop songs or classical pieces. They can be "in" the movie - like on the radio or TV, or part of the soundtrack. This is opposed to Score, which is composed directly for the film. (Think <b>Star Wars</b>.) Yes, I realize I put 6 before 5, but that's because 5 references Source Music so heavily that if you didn't already know what it was you'd have to go back and read the next footnote again. Who loves you? Who loves you? That's right: Uncle Hypey. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>5</sup> The Mount Rushmore concept is pretty simple - four people (or fast food restaurants or TV shows or whatever the case may be) that define the very best of your subject. I would want to take some time to hash it out, but off the top of my head, my Mount Rushmore for Directors using Source Music would be Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Baz Luhrmann and I was going to say John Hughes, but I just looked at his <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000455/">IMDB page</a>, and though he had some all-time greats as far as Source Music goes, he only directed a few films, so we'll leave the fourth spot open, for now. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>7</sup> I am absolutely going to have to write a review for <b>Romeo + Juliet</b>, as it deserves to take its rightful place among the movie gods. Maybe a running diary, with time-stamp cues so you can watch and read my comments at the appropriate time? I'm tempted. </span></div></blockquote><br />
