All I have to say to this is... wow. The Magic SHOULD have won game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers. Coming back from a 23 point deficit to almost steal it, LeBron manages a lucky last-second shot from the 23-foot line to take it back from the Magic. Oh well, LeBron's got two games of hell coming up at the Amway Arena...

A friend of mine brought this up to me - is that fat kid from Pixar's new movie asian??? He's voiced by an Asian kid, but for a company that's usually fast on announcing the breakdown of racial barriers, Disney's kept their mouth shut on this matter....
With Hollywood in no rush to cast Asians as leads, this may be a step forward...even if its behind beautifully drawn 3D...
Take a look!
I mean, he's got small eyes...black hair...kinda pudgy. Maybe he knows kung fu as well...

It's no secret that I despise the Cavaliers... with such a stacked weapon any loss, especially in playoffs is an epic victory indeed. This time around, it was sort of expected - Dwight Howard and the rest of the Magic squad took the game from LeBron + company with a 107-106 victory.
They look like they gonna be friendly. But this game was anything but that...
Howard, fouling out in the 4th quarter, still managed to put away 30 points and 13 rebounds, including two alley-oops from Turkoglu. It's easy to see how one dominate center, and 4 shooters can destroy a Cavs defense that focuses on double teams. You leave one guy, he's going to shoot (and score). You play man, the Magic will pass it to Superman (Howard) to beat his man.
I mean, he DESTROYED the shot clock...LOL
The Magic outscored, outshot, and out-free throw-ed the Cavaliers - 55.1% to 48.9% in Field Goal Percentage (shots made), 45% to 32% in 3-point shooting, and 85.7% to 70.6% in free throws (LeBron even missed two in a row...). The Magic had a 15 point deficit by the half (with a huge Mo Williams 3-point game from the OTHER side of the three point line) with a score of 48-63. But like Charles Barkley has said (and I firmly believe), Magic can and will beat the Cavs this series.
I mean, seriously WTF?!!!!
To all the naysayers who say that Cavs will....sorry SHOULD have swept the Magic in 4 - may I remind you the Magic, Lakers, and Boston are the only teams that have beat the Cavs 2-1 during the regular season.
Note, LeBron had difficulty leaving the court after the game was over - maybe scoring 49 points and doing too much and losing must have hurt him bad. Only 48 hours before Dwight + co steal another game at home.
Too bad this is only Game 1 - 3 more to go LeBron!

Having just opened at 2009 Cannes Film Festival, and being the first animated movie to do so, Up is set to be released by Pixar & Disney on May 29, 2009 in 3D and traditional 2D formats. Check out below for the sneak peek clip from the film and a plot synopsis.

Ellie always dreamed of visiting South America, but she died before she got a chance. Now, when developers threaten to move him into an assisted living home, Carl decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie. To accomplish this, he uses 10,000 balloons to make the house fly—but unwittingly takes a chubby eight-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell with him. The two opposites match up for thrilling adventures as they encounter wild terrain, unexpected foes, and all the terrifying creatures that wait in the Venezuelan jungle.

Lupe Fiasco's got a track hot off his upcoming album, Lasers. Originally going with the title and final album, LupE.N.D., this has been put on hold indefinitely and will instead go with Lasers. The album's set to come out in the fall of 2009, but other than that there isn't much details on it.
"Shining Down" is a newly leaked track from Lupe's camp, featuring Matthew Santos (from Superstar off his 2nd album, The Cool. Although the quality isn't that great, it's a good listen and has huge potential to be rotating in radio streams once a proper quality release is out.
Give it a listen below (P.S. - New media players!)
