It appears to be a low traffic day here today on the blog, though 'simit,' a Turkish sesame pastry which one can easily find from a vendor along the Bosporus shores of Istanbul is a trending topic!
Today, we continue with quotes from Oscar-winning film directors with a quip from Martin Scorsese who finally won a well-deserved Academy Award for "The Departed" (2006). Scorsese is again nominated this year for yet another superb film "Hugo." The other Best Directors nominees includes the likes of Woody Allen, Terence Malick and Alexander Payne.
Here is Scorsese's quip:
"I know there were many good policemen who died doing their duty. Some of the cops were even friends of ours. But, a cop can both ways."
The poster above is for the early Scorsese cinematic gem "Mean Streets" (1973).
SIDEBAR: Kudos to my alma mater Radford University in Radford, Va., for breaking a 29-game road losing streak in men's basketball with a 58-54 victory over Big South rival Gardner-Webb in Boiling Springs, NC (near Hickory).
Freshman Javonte Green from Alberta, Va., lead the Highlanders in scoring 12 points.
