Horror Show Friday
These two beauties come to us from Crown Heights and Canarsie, respectively. It almost looks like they could have been designed by the same person. Love those doors and peaked roofs! Condos in Crown Heights [Craigslist] 1280 E 100th St [Craigslist]

Continuing off topic, apologies, but “The Times of Harvey Milk” documentary is available FREE to stream off http://www.hulu.com and it is VERY interesting for those who don’t know anything about him (as i didn’t before watching..)
benson, I hope you enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts.
Montrose, that faux-headline was hysterical. I think you could write the front page headlines for the Enquirer (or the Post)…not that you would want to.
Slumdog and Milk — both are wonderfully life-affirming films. Slumdog so much better than expected (until you realize that it is a Danny Boyle film).
dunno, benson. Methinks you have issues with brad that go beyond hwat he’s trying to do. I know how celebrities can be. Barbra Streisand once sent her publicist and a camerman down to Ground Zero with knot hats for workers with “love,barbra” stamped on them. the publicist wanted to go into the Pit to give them out. Needless to say I scotched that one and made her leave the boxes with us and we gave them out to the guys without publicity. But Alex Baldwin came down and worked like a dog on the food line the entire day and into the night. Never asked for a damn thing in return. He got my full respect for that.
Montrose;
Alright, I’ll agree with what you just said. Have a great weekend, Montrose!! They’re talking about another Brownstoner party – maybe I’ll meet you at that one.
Benson, unfortunately for Brad Pitt, I’m sure he can’t take his trash to the curb, if he ever does, without paparazzi surrounding him, and having the photos in next week’s National Inquirer: “Angela makes Brad take out trash, will he be the next thing tossed to the curb?” I don’t fault him for not being able to keep his charity quiet, if that was his intent.
Besides, as Bxgrl said, what better way to advertise a cause? If his celebrity means that more houses get built, and more attention is paid to rebuilding New Orleans, then great. He is well aware of that, and is using it to the advantage of the project. I don’t think he’s being morally superior. He, and other celebs, like Bono, who do the same thing with their own causes, is able to do what us mere mortals can’t. If that helps others, more power to ’em. They didn’t make the system, they are just using it.
I can’t imagine the discomfort, invasion of privacy, and pure hell it would be to have photographers, reporters and fans in my face all day, every day, lurking in the bushes, and ambushing me wherever I went. While it’s great to be rich and famous, that is a definite downside of celebrity. To be able to turn at least a fraction of that into something that helps those in need must take some of the edge off.
My college boyfriend moved to New Orleans for his job with an oil company. I loved, loved, loved it. I just can’t live down south tho- hate the humidity and heat.
Biff;
Thanks! My wife and I were wondering which movie we should see this week. I was thinking of this film – now it’s confirmed.
Not to get off-topic and away from the Horror Show, but benson, you should try to see Slumdog Millionaire. Some of the parts, especially those involving children, are very difficult to watch, but it’s an excellent film.
