Favorite Quote:

Buzz Lightyear: “Spare me your lies, temptress! Your emperor's defeated, and I’m immune to your bewitching good looks.”

Review:

Toy Story 3 is an excellent film. There is no other way to put it. The last of the trilogy was amazing from it’s drama, comedy, humor, limitless creativity, and it’s ability to not only entertain, but wrap up a great series. The team behind Toy Story 3 should be well applauded for their efforts as all of the hype surrounding the film is well-deserved and more.

The plot in Toy Story 3 brought to life new characters and bid farewell to the usual gang with a plot that was super engaging. Not to mention, the insanely hilarious “Ken” character. The viewer will develop a bond with all of the characters throughout the movie, which is a true testament to an excellent writing crew.

This review can go on, and on, and on, about the the greatness of Toy Story 3. It is a definite must watch for everyone.

Grade: 4.5/5

DP Review of the Alternate Knicks Orange Jersey

One of the good aspects about having a blog and being truthful and honest about it, is the hindsight thought process it provides. DP devotees already know how much I love my New York Knicks, and how excited I was about their new jerseys last year. It was a new look that was desperately needed ( DP Review On Knicks New Uniforms ).  In reviewing those jerseys last year, I had the following comments in regards to then-rumors regarding the addition of an alternative orange jersey for the Knicks and overall NBA changes to the Christmas Day special jerseys:  "As long as we do not add an "alternative jersey" (I read rumors of an orange one - woof!) (and the league-wide Spanish jerseys are fine). And please, please - PLEASE - let's finally do away with the awful green jerseys we feel the need to wear on Christmas and St. Patrick's day! Pretty please!"

Predictions and Wild Guesses for the 2024 MLB Season

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports After an off-season where the Los Angeles Dodgers spent the equivalent of a nation's GDP to acquire talent - I'm not sure if that's factual, but it felt like it - the 2024 MLB Season is finally here.  Sure, this Yankees fan is not just annoyed with the big spending of the Dodgers, but yeah, secretly envious as well. That used to be us, man!  Regardless, baseball is back on the docket. While my beloved New York Knicks have my attention and all of my heart, including what has been a fun March Madness period for men's and women's basketball, it's soothing to have baseball back. I can't explain what it is, but baseball just does that for me.  Nonetheless, let's do what we do in this post every year. Here are my wacky predictions and wild guesses for the 2024 season.  --- STANDINGS (WINS) AL EAST Orioles - 93 Yankees - 90 Blue Jays - 85 Red Sox - 82 Rays - 80 AL CENTRAL Twins - 88 Tigers - 86 Guardians - 81 Royals - 70 White Sox -
