Morning Tweet: Get your popcorn ready

Ha. Yes, that would be a scary movie indeed (I hope it’s in 3D). And speaking of baseball, I thought you should know that Barry Bonds’ agent has officially called an end to the slugger’s baseball career. Quote:

“When 2008 came around, I couldn’t get him a job. When 2009 came around, I couldn’t get him a job. Now, 2010 … I’d say it’s nearly impossible. It’s an unfortunate ending to a storied career.”

Of course at first I read that as “an unfortunate ending to a steroid career,” and had to go back and look at it again. We’ll miss you, Barry. Today the tiny boats in McCovey Cove are flying their flags at half-mast.
And speaking of movies, GordonShumway, aka our own Jelisa Castrodale, tweets: “Just saw “The Blind Side”. I have to admit that Kathy Bates is starting to lose her looks.” Castrodale will check in later today with a full review of that movie, so stay tuned for that.
Meanwhile, no one gives a fig about my thoughts on Ninja Assassin. I hate Thursdays.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT …

What you missed while booking a cruise

* Remember the Spartans: Nine Michigan State football players charged with assault, conspiracy in connection with Nov. 22 incident on campus.

* College basketball: Kentucky beats UConn in uneven effort, but John Wall is impressive, eh?

* NBA: Lakers are 17-3. Jazz are not.
