In an epic July 4th battle, American competitive eater Joey Chestnut defeated Kobayashi in the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest at Coney Island. Chestnut had to go overtime to win the grueling mouth-to-mouth competition.

The two were tied at the end of regulation, both having devoured 59 hot dogs in ten minutes. Kobayashi (a six time winner of the Nathan’s event) took the early lead by stuffing down 10 dogs in the first minute but was caught by Chestnut down the stretch. 25,000 people jammed the streets of Brooklyn to watch the event.

Chestnut dominated Kobayashi in the overtime eat-off winning the coveted Yellow Mustard Belt.

Chestnut ready for your next challenge?

"I've got to do something about the way I look. I mean a girl just can't go to Sing Sing with a green face." - So sighs Audrey Hepburn's girl-about-town Holly Golightly, breezing ever-so-gently through the real world with hardly a ripple. But when she meets sober, handsome, nice guy George Peppard, she begins to gradually re-think her “anything-goes,” high-living lifestyle.

10:00 PM – SCI FI: THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953) School House Parking structure rooftop, 33 E. Green Street.

Actress Ann Robinson will introduce the screening.

The quintessential 1950's science fiction film, in which scientists and the military join forces to conquer an alien invasion. Even today, few films can match this movie's triumphant blend of special effects and snappy romance (in the form of the relationship between astronomer Gene Barry and his spunky girlfriend Ann Robinson.)

10:00 PM – HORROR FILM: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Basement of Schoolhouse Parking Garage, 33 E. Green Street.

Director Tobe Hooper will introduce the screening.

One of the best American horror films from the 1970s and certainly one of the scariest movies ever made. The unknown actors and real-life locations burn themselves into your memory, assuming a nightmarishly twisted reality that lingers long after you’ve seen the film. After hearing of a cemetery desecration, Marilyn Burns and friends go on a jaunt in the broiling Texas countryside to make sure her grandparents’ graves are okay, only to become stranded at the rural home of a family of inbred cannibals. Director Tobe Hooper expertly escalates the horror until you can’t stand it anymore…then goes one step further. With Gunnar Hansen, Ed Neal.

Saturday, July 19

Dick Van Dyke is Bert, the good-natured chimney sweep and the great Jane Darwell, in her last screen appearance, plays the bird lady. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Andrews for Best Actress and Richard M. & Robert B. Sherman for Best Original Song and Best Original Music Score.

10:00 PM – MENTAL HYGIENE SHORT FILMS Mercantile Alley (right behind Coffee Bean at 18 S. Fair Oaks)

Presented by Archivist and Historian Rick Prelinger.

For the quarter-century following World War II, a special kind of classroom film received wide circulation. These "mental hygiene" films thrived in a confused and nervous America. The rebellious behavior of young people challenging the social norms struck fear into the hearts of parents and educators, who saw dark futures for teens who broke the rules and refused to fit in with society. These concerned adults embraced the metal hygiene film as a new means of delivering social guidance. The creators of the films took their cues from the wildly successful training and propaganda films of the World War II era. They used the same shock and scare techniques to warn teenagers about substance abuse, venereal disease, juvenile delinquency and the awful fate of kids who drive too fast on prom night.

Friday, July 25

But unbeknownst to Hepburn, Peck is really a reporter out for a story, and this inevitably complicates things as the two grow more intimate. This sweet-natured romantic comedy won three Oscars, including Best Actress for Hepburn.

10:45 PM – CLASSIC FOREIGN FILM: SEVEN SAMURAI One Colorado Courtyard, 41 Hugus Alley

Director Akira Kurosawa's most famous film is certainly one of the finest movies ever made - a huge, sprawling but intimate, character-driven period epic about an aging swordsman (the great Takashi Shimura) who enlists six other warriors-for-hire (amongst them, Toshiro Mifune, Minoru Chiaki, Isao Kimura, Daisuke Kato, Seiji Miyaguchi, Yoshio Inaba) to safeguard a remote village plagued by bandits.

8:30 PM till Dawn – LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY, One Colorado Courtyard, 41 Hugus Alley, Middle Earth

J.R.R. Tolkien's literary masterpiece The Lord of the Rings has influenced generations of readers worldwide and continues to captivate new fans around the globe. Director Peter Jackson and a brilliantly talented cast and crew have brought to cinematic life the epic adventure of good against evil. The future of civilization rests in the fate of the One Ring, which has been lost for centuries. Powerful forces are unrelenting in their search for it. Fate has placed it in the hands of a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), who inherits the Ring - and undertakes a heroic quest revealing how, through courage, commitment, and determination, even the smallest of us can change the world.

Screening concludes with sunrise Hobbit breakfast.

I have a lot of memories about summer from when I was younger. My mom used to take me and my brother to my grandmother's apartment to stay with her for several days. We would hang around the pool all day and later in the afternoon our aunt would take us to 7-11 for Slurpees or to Thrifty for ice cream cones (then and now, I always got mint chip). Some summers we would fly to visit my mom's parents, and my memories there involve camping, or sitting around my grandparents' table eating peanut butter on white bread and drinking cherry koolaid, or climbing to the top of my grandpa's big Chevy van and sitting on the roof of it feeling so big and on top of it all.

As I got older, summer meant laying out in the sun all day slathered in baby oil (yeah, I know, I know - I'm very lucky and see my dermatologist regularly for mole checks as should all of you!). Summer meant going to the movies in the middle of the week with friends. One year, summer meant band camp ("This one time at band camp..." A myth. I don't know of anything interesting that happened at band camp - that was the year that Bryan Adams came out with "Everything I Do (I Do it For You)" and I remember some girl had that on repeat constantly. I also remember my first adventure in dorm food at band camp... which led to a week of eating Cap'n Crunch three meals a day). The other summers meant cheerleading camp (Like, Oh my god! We won the spirit stick! We've got spirit, yes we do!). One summer, I worked at an ice cream shop, making milkshakes, cones and flurries (like a blizzard... but not) all day. It took me a long time to be able to eat ice cream again after that summer.

In college, I'd come home in the summer and work. I've always been a worker. I'd work full time, and come home and fill my nights with my friends - being social, going to parties, hanging around bonfires with a beer and some laughs (again, how I could I tolerate beer then? I hate it now).

Summer used to be something to look forward to.

Now, summer is just like any other time of the year. Except worse. It's hotter and my kids are out of school and daycare and there is a greater demand for me to be interesting and fun and entertaining. And I am interesting and fun and entertaining (Oh, I dare you to disagree), but apparently my kids don't always think so. My six year old told me yesterday, "Mom, you're not funny. Dad's not either." Great, thanks. Excuse me while I scrape what's remaining of my self esteem off the carpet.

The fact that it's July now makes me happy, as it means we are now just 30 days away from August. And August is right before September. And that's when summer ends. Summer ending will be a very good thing indeed.

Amazingly, I don't think I ever watched an episode of Dallas in its entirety. I couldn't separate its star, Larry Hagman, with his former role as the dopey husband of Barbara Eden in the sitcom I Dream of Jeannie in the '60s. Truth be told: I watched several I Dream of Jeannie episodes and quite a few other campy TV shows as a kid, but I digress. A few movies about oil come to mind, however. In case you didn't see There Will Be Blood in theaters in late 2007, it's worth renting it from Netflix or snapping up a DVD or Blue-Ray to get a feel for just how demonic an oilman can be. Mind you, as much as I detest oil companies, most of the people who work for them are decent, hard-working folk. Then there's wildcat oil megalomaniac Daniel Plainview, one of muckraking author Upton Sinclair's classic creations, that conflicted misanthrope played to perfection by Daniel-Day Lewis in the film. Once you see him in that bar scene hovering over some oil company profiteers where he takes a simple line like "I drink your milkshake... I drink it all up!" and wields the metaphor like an oil-soaked Molotov Cocktail, it puts the oil industry's lock on the world's economy into painfully clear perspective. Other memorable films about oil that stand out in my memory are Giant, the one with the late, great James Dean, and Urban Cowboy with John Travolta. Then there's the gritty new reality TV show Black Gold on TruTV. My wife really loathes that show. The one episode where the Black Dog oil crew went out shooting at doves kept making me think of Dick Cheney. If you're a lawyer reading this, never mind....

While U.S. economists have been begrudgingly accepting the fact that we are sailing into a very uncertain future, the community where I live still seems to be partying like it's 1999. Except that loads of people are losing their jobs and moving away or they're just getting fed up with the ridiculous commutes they've been tolerating for years to their jobs.

My wife Debbie told me recently that one of her friends who works for the L.A. County Office of Education drives from Victorville to Downey and sometimes gets assigned to work in the South Bay. We're talking about 70 miles for Downey alone, and another 30 for places like Torrance and Long Beach, conservatively. That's part of the California dream: own your own home and you may need to drive 70-100 miles to work so that you can pay your mortgage and eat at Olive Garden on Friday nights.

Sometimes I feel like I'm sitting on a high desert hillside alongside the creosote bushes and Spanish mustard clumps watching lemmings take their fateful headers off cliffs. I'm referring to the mass exodus of cars that swarm onto the local freeway - Highway 14, aka the Antelope Valley Freeway to us locals - who willingly take their ritual crawl "down below" to Santa Clarita, the Valley, Los Angeles and even beyond to earn their almighty dollars. Of course, each week their paychecks shrink as the price of gas escalates.

I didn't have to be a Mensa like my dad to figure out that commuting to work would be an incredibly stupid and sometimes dangerous way to support myself and my family. He drove about eight miles each way to work for Lockheed in Burbank when I was growing up in Sherman Oaks. Around where I live, the city is so spread apart that it takes eight miles to get to my daughter's high school. Six miles is the distance to the nearest Wal-Mart. The nearest gas station and grocery store are four miles away. With that in mind, I coordinate my errands so that I can do it all in one trip per day, and I may not leave my house for days at a time.

Since I work at home, my commute from the master bedroom is about 15 feet. My kitchen is downstairs, so that's about 35 feet away. I can get away with this lifestyle because I work with an incredibly congenial bunch of people who are part of the Free Online Cash System. It didn't cost me anything to join, and I think even a brainy skeptic like my dad would've warmed up to it had he ever embraced computer technology instead of his old typewriter and word processor.

My neighborhood is almost entirely devoid of people during the weekdays. Sometimes I feel like Will Smith in 2007's I Am Legend. There's nooobody home. My tract was built in 2005 and, for awhile, it seemed that every other neighbor had a dog alarm. There was Rottweiler Row on one side of my street and the even more testy poodles and chihuahuas on my side of the street. Lately, virtually every dog has either earned a pass key to stay out of the hot desert heat, or they and their masters barked up the wrong tree and went through foreclosure. On my street alone, 12 out of 28 houses have the dreaded "blue slips" taped to their almost shiny new garages. So I live in an early 21st century ghost town in the making.

If you're driving around in a car that gets fewer than 25 miles per gallon, you've probably discovered that the gas pump shuts off at $50 for credit card purchases. That happened to me for the first time in June, and I drive a four-year-old Saturn Ion. It's no Prius, but I was feeling pretty good about the fact that I'd cut down my monthly driving from 2,000+ miles in 2005 when I was commuting 40 miles to work. For the past three years, I've been driving an average of about 600 miles a month. Nevertheless, my eyeballs momentarily left their sockets when I rolled up $50 at a Thrifty gas mart. The pump ka-chinged off even though my tank was still about a half gallon off from being full. I hear that stations are resetting their credit purchase maximums now to $75 before they cut off, but a Hummer owner will still need to do two transactions or shell out $150 cash to fill up their gas guzzlers.

The week I wrote this, gas prices hovered at around $4.45 a gallon for regular unleaded at the low-end stations and upwards of $5 a gallon for diesel locally. When I took my family on a trip to Northern California in 2003, we were paying around $1.87 per gallon at a Terrible Herbst station in Gilroy. So here we are five years later, looking at possibly $5 a gallon or even more late this summer, and the news media is talking about $200 a barrel oil and $7 a gallon gas in the not-too-distant future. It could happen. Gas has more than doubled in price since the early part of this decade.

There's nothing that takes the fun out of living large in communities loosely developed over huge expanses of land like my valley than rapidly escalating gas prices. I mean, I live in a part of the state where mass transit is, at best, mediocre, with the possible exception of the Metrolink. Maybe now we'll get that high speed rail line linking San Diego to Sacramento and a subway to the sea (or light rail to the L.A. International Airport). Nah. Everyone will just have to start taking the bus in L.A. before that happens. And the band Missing Persons will need to change the lyrics to their '80s hit Nobody Walks in L.A.

My prescription to relieve gas pains: work at home, preferably in something like the Free Online Cash System. Fill 'er up!

Davis

NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the guard reached a verbal agreement with the Clippers on Tuesday night and will sign a new multiyear contract with Los Angeles after the leaguewide moratorium on signings and trades is lifted July 9.

Davis was in line to make $17.8 million in the last year of his deal with the Warriors, but after telling the team that he wanted to stay, opted out at the last minute.

Sources told ESPN.com that Davis, 29, will receive a five-year deal worth an estimated $65 million.

Forward Elton Brand also opted out of his contract with the Clippers on Monday, and speculation quickly began that the team would try to keep Brand and sign Davis. This scenario is only possible if the Clippers renounce the rights of Corey Maggette and Brand takes a slight pay cut.

Sources say the Clippers are expected to do just that and quickly reach a verbal agreement to bring back Brand.

Maggette opted out of his deal on Monday as well.

Davis averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds last season for a Warriors team that won 48 games but did not make the playoffs.

What are these things I'd like to say? I think many of them involve movies.

Movies I love. Movies I hate. I watch a shitload of movies.

If I have an interesting thought, I'm much more confident that I can squeeze it into a post about a movie I've seen or heard of than a post about someone else's job.

So witness jimsmuse 2.0...

Yes, I love the movie Carrie.

Carrie is my name, and today that movie suits my mood.

Here're a few of my favorite moments.

Oh man, I'm goin', that's all there is to it, I'm fuckin' goin'

Kelly talked about how John flies the whole family to location and blah, blah, blah. I am sorry but Kelly Preston has nothing in common with the regular working mom. I do not see Kelly stressed out because she is stuck in traffic and will not make it to daycare before 6:30pm, then incur the $20 fine for being late. Or having business meetings planned for the day only to wake up with a vomiting child and wondering if her employer will be angry (e.g. ding her come raise/bonus time) for calling into work.

Admittedly, I am very fortunate. I have a supportive spouse, flexible job and family nearby that is always offering to help. If I am perturbed with Today's assumption that Kelly Preston can feel my working mom pain, then how about the women who have no support and no flexibility, is Kelly speaking to them? I can see where Koda are coming from, they have more in common with Kelly Preston then I ever will. But to assume that Kelly Preston's work/life balance advice can help out Mrs. Jane American is preposterous. If Kelly does not get paid because she is not working since the kids are ill, does she get behind on bills?

I would much rather see an interview between Koda and a woman who works at Big Box Store forty hours a week and have them ask her how she manages. She might tell them she does not manage, but the interview would be much more realistic to the vast majority of viewers. I know, I know what do I expect from Today? Apparently way too much.

Trading Lamar Odom for Vince Carter would be good for both teams. Especially the Lakers because this would energize Vince Carter's career again playing with Kobe and playing with a team thats contending for a championship. Vince Carter might shoot a lot but he'll take less shots with Kobe around. And Carter can give you another offensive threat while Odom never can get much points offensively. The only problem for the Lakers is that Carter's contract is too long. This is a good deal for the Nets too because Odom is an upgrade over Vince and he fits there young squad. Plus Odom's contract is two years and he can opt soon.
