So much for spring's early and loving embrace. Forecast is for rain and wind for the weekend, folks. Since you'll probably be inside anyways, we suggest you fire up some popcorn and watch all those movies you've been meaning to get to. Personally? I'll be re-watching Rumble in the Bronx. You know you loved it.

A little cycling guide. Here's hoping the weather clears up soon.
Mr. Gibbons, I prefer to call the movie by the name of the city in which it was filmed- Rumble in Vancouver. If you are looking for a better cinematic Bronx experience, I hear the Wanderers has some great shots of the Bronx from the late 70s and MST3K loves the Italian flick Fuga dal Bronx.
