To Sir, With Love

First of all, how about them Buffalo Bills, as of today AFC East champions for the second straight season! Let's see who's up Saturday... hmmmmm...Patriots? Chargers?

UPDATE: Patriots.

Second, I was shocked to read about the passing of the world champion of telling the "the Aristocrats" joke, Bob Saget. I really hate it when the funny ones die.

Third, To Sir, With Love.

Propelled by the recent death of Sidney Poitier, after the Big Sunday Dinner, we landed on this for a movie. And, I mean, it's all right. Dated. Kind of weird. Kind of after-school special. Lulu as that generation's Adele. Contrived situations that kind of make no sense. An extended dance scene betwixt teacher and student without even the benefit of John Travolta's choreography. It's kind of a squeaker. Better than Birdman, I reckon.

But without it, is there a Dead Poet's Society?

Yeah, probably. Maybe we should have gone with Lilies in the Field.
