Abstract:
So many names! Data warehouse, data mart, star-schema, snowflake schema, dimensional model, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3... What does it all mean? Whether you're a data consumer, ETL specialist, or database designer, it pays to understand the vocabulary and design concepts of dimensional models. In this session, we'll cover the basics of dimensional modeling, including dimensions, facts, and the ways they all come together. We'll talk about why denormlization isn't necessarily a dirty word, some common design challenges, and a few ETL considerations. By the end of the hour, you'll be ready to impress your friends and confound your frenemies with your mad dimensional modeling knowledge!
Speaker(s): Audrey Hammonds,
Abstract:
Every organization that stores data stores dirty data, and suffers with how best to handle this unpleasant fact.Organizations must rely on people to deal with data problemseither by paying them to clean it or paying them to work around it. Either way it is costly and only becomes more so over time. Finally with the release of SQL Server 2012, there is a tool to help. Learn how to use the key parts of Data Quality Services: how to create Data Cleansing Knowledge Bases to cleanse data both in the DQS client and inside SSIS 2012, and how DQS Matching Knowledge Bases can integrate with Master Data Services for de-duplication of data. Session focuses on DQS, but also explains how DQS, MDS, and SSIS work together.
Speaker(s): Julie Smith,
Abstract:
In this session I will go over how to separate your systems for transactional databases, and for reporting. I will lightly cover how this can be done with mirroring, replication, which one is right for your situation. Then deep dive into replication, the agents it creates and their purpose, provide tips, best practices, and dispel any fears you may have heard or validate them.
Speaker(s): Anthony Sammartino,
Abstract:
SSIS is a great tool for transferring data from one data source to another, and for implementing complex ETL processes. However, there are some painful shortcomings that make it difficult to automate package creation, easily reuse patterns and templates, and create packages directly from schema information and other metadata. The free and open source BIDS Helper Add-In offers support for automatically generating SSIS packages using the Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml). In this session we will start by showing the power of Biml. We will then step back, and start from the beginning of using BimlScript. Once we cover the basics, we will cover practical examples using the BIDS Helper add-in to automate SSIS development.
Speaker(s): Paul Waters,
Abstract:
Never given time or care, never forming good relationships, becoming bloated, corrupt and rife with indistinguishable copies, and all so horrifyingly pervasive in society. But enough about the Kardashians, what about YOUR DATA? If you want to straighten it out and prevent it from going too far in the first place, this session is for you. We will cover constraint basics (not null, check, primary key/unique, foreign keys), provide standard use cases, and address misconceptions about constraint use and performance. We will also look at triggers and application logic and why these are NOT substitutes for (but can effectively complement) good constraint usage. Attendees will enjoy learning how to keep THEIR data off the tabloid page!
Speaker(s): Rob Volk,
Abstract:
There are a multitude of data visualization options in a Microsoft environment, Reporting Services, Excel Services, Performance Point, Power View, 3rd party tools...each of these are specialized tools to fill a specialized need. In this session we will walk through each of these tools. Focusing on the most popular tool Excel, we will see how we can take this already excellent tool and extend its capabilities further At the end of the session the attendee will understand the range of data visualization options and how they can use Excel to design reports for both multidimensional, tabular, and relational models for an enhanced user experience on the PC, Web, and Mobile devices.

Speaker(s): Cathy Miller,
Abstract:
So you've got your data in the database? That's great! Now... how about getting it back out? Sometimes complex reports call for complex queries, and this session is all about that. Want to pivot your rows into columns? Sure. Want to format that self-referencing hierarchy? Got it. Ranking? Windowing? No problem. In this session we'll cover some common data formatting issues and the T-SQL solutions that make them a little less scary.
Speaker(s): Audrey Hammonds,
Abstract:
You will need to understand how many-to-many relationships work in tabular models. While different than dimensional models, you can be successful in getting many of the behaviors you will need. Understanding how filters propogate is necessary requisite. We will use a "W" diagram to understand how this occurs in tabular models. Then will will learn how to force filter propogation called cross-filtering. The we will cross-filter conditionally, based on what the user has chosen for filters. If time permits we will also learn how to handle large numbers of fact rows, both in development and production.
Speaker(s): Wayne Snyder,
Abstract:
Once the enterprise implements SSAS, immediate reporting benefits appear as the power of OLAP is unleashed in the speed of aggregations, the support of organization-wide ad hoc analysis and reporting, and myriad other advantages. A common need that then often arises is the capability to perform extra-hierarchy groupings. In this session, BI Architect and MVP Bill Pearson presents an approach to accomplishing external grouping with PowerPivot. We examine ways to accomplish a stated, example business need for such grouping via the addition of PowerPivot to an integrated Microsoft BI solution. Moreover, we discuss ways to design a scalable solution with PowerPivot that we can then entrain into the base warehouse / mart / cube structure.
Speaker(s): William E Pearson III,
Abstract:
If you haven't seen it yet, SQL Server 2012 introduces a new feature called Data Quality Services (DQS for short). Its easy and quick to learn in an hour.

This session will dive into the the SSIS toolkit by creating SSIS Custom Components in SQL Server 2008 and 2012. Discuss how to register the custom components and add to the SSIS Toolbox. Demonstrate a method to open an SSIS package with a C# script and read or make changes to the package design. The start of data driven design and programmatically creating packages, scan an entire BIDS Solution all cubes, dimensions, and connections in SSAS using Analysis Management Objects (AMO) with C#. This allows us to create a metadata mart and full documentation of our SSAS cubes.
Speaker(s): Jesse Kraut,
Abstract:
Implement an SSIS Framework to track the progress of SSIS production packages similar to how you can in the BIDS Designer, and explore your package withs windows explorer like capability.Utilizing the “out of the box” SSIS Logging with no changes required to the existing logic or packages. The new framework will also use SSIS to scan existing packages and automatically discover Master / Child package relationships and providing a capability for package restartability. This design pattern can be use to replace earlier “Stored Proc” version of SSIS Framework greatly reducing the code required. This functionality is complementary to the 2012 Package Tracking capability.

At The Dabbler the other day I answered the question “Where do you get your ideas from?”
The other poser regularly aimed at scribblers—and, indeed, bloggers—is “What do you write about? Describe your work to us, in terms a dribbling infant could understand!” I have seen no better a potted summary of Hooting Yard than this piece at Twisty Turny Lanes. Anybody crashing through the rusty iron gates of Hooting Yard for the first time would do well to read it, before devoting the rest of their dismal days to exploring the archives.
Many thanks to that perceptive fellow Johnnynorms.


--- title: Fangraphs Player Values (fWAR) permalink: /docs/fangraphs-player-values/ ---
Fangraphs.com version of WAR is commonly referred to as fWAR. It's often compared to Baseball-Reference's WAR calculation.
Fangraphs WAR (fWAR) is different than bWAR in some details of how the factors are calculated. THe biggest difference between the systems is usually for starting pitchers. fWAR uses an ERA-scaled TTO estimated called Fielding Independent Pitching, a metric that strips factors outside the pitcher's control. Baseball Reference's WAR (bWAR) uses ERA. Pitchers who outperform their FIP will have more fWAR than bWAR. {% include mc_signup.html %}

Parkvilla advance to cup semi-final
by Conall CollierParkvilla advanced the semi-final of the NEFL Challenge Cup tonight with a 2-0 victory over Enfield Celtic.
The reward is a palce in the semi-final against Trim Celtic with Kentstown Rovers already in the decider making it an all-Meath showpiece.
The weather conditions made it difficult for both teams, but the players adapted well and produced a competitive encounter.
Parkvilla always looked the more likely team to win, but a hard-working Enfield side created some good chances although they struggled to get shots on target.
Jamie Blake went close for the Navan men in the 18th minute, but his effort was blocked by Enfield's Sean Tate.
For the remainder of the opening half it was a fairly tight contest until Blake made the breakthrough in the 35th minute after a flick from Ciaran Rogers made the opening - see video clip of goal.
PARKVILLA'S FIRST GOAL
Enfield upped the tempo in the second-half and a number of substitutions added a little bit of an edge to their attack, but they fouond it difficult to create any clear chances.
As Parkvilla continued to absorb pressure and counter attack it eventually got them a second goal with Lee Fahy capitalising on a hesitant Enfield defence to burst through virtually unchallenged and finish to the net.
Next up for Parkvilla in this competition is Trim Celitc in the semi-final, but before that they have Bellurgan in the Kilmessan Shield this weekend.
"We will benefit from a competitive game tonight and another one at the weekend, that will help our preparations for the game with Trim Celtic," stated Parkvilla manager Derek Coogan.
Parkvilla - Euan NIven; Jay Colton, Gary O'Dowd, Chris Kennedy, James Friery, Andy Williamson, Jordan Conway, Lee Fahy, Jamie Blake, Ciaran Rogers, Joey Moran-Lynagh. Subs - Adam Donohoe for Rogers 52 mins, Cian Power for Kennedy 67m.
Enfield Celtic - Sean Tate; Conor Geraghty, Mike O'Brien, Jake McCreddin, Paul Burnette, Sean Coloe, Evan Coyle, Nathan O'Neill, Shane Harris, Stephen Maher, Nicky Foster. Subs - Davy Morgan for Foster 60 mins, Karl Corcoran for Maher 75m.
Referee - Conor Byrne (Meath Branch ISRS).

In this project, we're going to make a maze game.
1) Click on the link below and remix it
Maze Game - StarterOR design a background with a maze. Remember to leave a clear path for your sprite.
2) Choose a sprite to solve your maze. Shrink the sprite fit your maze and teleport to the start of your maze when the green flag is clicked.
3) Make your sprite move when you press the arrow keys. Make sure to prevent your sprite from rotating, so it doesn't accidentally hit a maze wall.
4) Make your sprite go back to the start if it hits a wall.
5) Create a variable called level and make it start at 1 when the green flag is pressed.
6) Make a finish spot on your first level. When you get to the finish spot, the background switches to the second level.
7) Make it so that when your character touches the finish spot on the second level, you win!

Class ProtocolBase.StreamBufferRequest
java.lang.Object
org.jredis.ri.alphazero.ProtocolBase.StreamBufferRequest
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Message, Request
- Enclosing class:
- ProtocolBase
public static class ProtocolBase.StreamBufferRequest
- extends java.lang.Object
- implements Request
SimpleRequest implements the required Message.read(InputStream)
using a (likely) shared data buffer. It is not thread safe and can only
be used by connections that serialized request processing through a single
requesting thread.
Specifically, if an instance of this class is obtained and not immediately
used (by calling read) before the user has obtained another instance of the
same, data corruption is guaranteed.
- Since:
- alpha.0
- Version:

Clearly, I do not endorse making light the seriousness the plight of some friends in Israel, but this low brow to Rails' supposed hype made me smile.
Personally, I started building a production app with Rails as a test, and the Lebanese / Israeli conflict started up. Obviously World Peace is not one of its features!

Introduction to Web Scraping using Scrapy and PostGres
Your favorite website doesn’t have an API? Web scraping is a great alternative to grabbing the data you want.
This tutorial will walk you through how to make a web scraper, save the data to a database, and schedule the scraper to run daily. We will also introduce you to some simple queries to use on the database so you can query the information you scraped at your leisure.
The Project
We will build a web scraper using Scrapy to scroll through LivingSocial, and save local deals to our Postgres database. We’ll schedule our computer to run this script daily, so that rather than getting those annoying emails, we can query our database when we want a deal on sky diving or hot yoga.
Goals
The goals of this particular tutorial are to:
* Develop a more solid understanding of Python classes and inheritance
* Generators
* Reading and writing to a database
Other topics we’ll touch on:
* Using an ORM
* Iterators
* Proper import statements
* Making a portable application
About Web Scrapers
Web scraping is a technique for gathering data or information on web pages. You could revisit your favorite web site every time it updates for new information. Or you could write a web scraper to have it do it for you!
A scraper is just a script that parses an HTML site – much like the parser we wrote for our CSV data in our DataViz tutorial.
Quick “rules of the road” for scraping websites:
* This isn’t our data that we’re scraping – check a site‘s terms and conditions before you scrape them.
* Scrapers can and do break – Sites change their layout all the time. This will require you to rewrite and adapt your code.
* Web pages are inconsistent – There’s sometimes some manual clean up that has to happen even after you’ve gotten your data.
About Scrapy
Scrapy is one of the popular web scraping frameworks written in Python. It uses Twisted, a Python networking engine, and lxml, a Python XML + HTML parser.
Note for the curious: The lxml library builds on C libraries for parsing, giving the lxml library speed. This is why we needed to install a compiler.
Scrapy uses Twisted under the hood, a Python library used for networking (which is introduced in the next tutorial. Using Twisted allows scrapy to grab hostnames, handle events (e.g. starting, stopping a crawler), as well as gives you the ability to send mail, use the crawler within a Python console, and monitor and control a crawler using a web service.
Scrapy also has this great tutorial which this follows closely, but extends beyond it with the use of Postgres and a cronjob.
About SQLAlchemy
SQLAlchemy is a Python library that allows developers to interact with databases (Postgres, MySQL, MS SQL, etc) without needing to write raw SQL code within a database shell. It also provides an ORM – Object Relational Mapper – to developers that essentially abstracts the database further. You can define tables and fields with classes and instance variables instead. If you have worked through the Django tutorial, perhaps you remember its ORM through the setup of models.py
and the querying of data within the Django dbshell.
About Postgres
Postgres is a very popular database that is free and open source. Other popular databases include MySQL, MS SQL, and MongoDB. Which database you choose depends on what you’ll need it for. Postgres is object-relational DBMS – meaning that it is similar to relational databases, but is object-oriented with objects, classes, and inheritance. We don’t dive into the difference between relational and object-relational, but just know that Postgres, combined with SQLAlchemy and Scrapy, allows us to capitalize on relational databases with object-oriented programming.
To learn why Postgres is go great, Craig Kerstiens of Heroku wrote up a nice explanation.
As an aside: when I first started learning how to code, the concept of having a database on my computer blew me away. I assumed databases lived in headless computers that could handle the ubiquitous data. Turns out, it’s just like a simple program on your comptuer. Sure, if you’re a company, you’d want machines dedicated for serving up production-level data. But we’re not heavy-duty number crunching (yet!).
What is a cronjob?
A cron is a job scheduler for Unix-like computers. It basis its schedule off of a crontab (cron table), of which each line on the table is a job (cron job).
You can schedule a cron job to go every minute, every hour, every day, etc. Wiki has an overview of the actual syntax to use for a cron job.
If you’re on a Windows Machine, the cron-equivalent is the Windows Task Scheduler. The scope of the tutorial does not cover how to configure the Windows Task Scheduler, but you can read how or use the schtask tool.


Substances: T +0:00 16mgs 2C-B-Fly (orally)
T +3:25 0.3g weed (smoked)
T +5:10 20mgs Methylone (orally)
Subject is a healthy male, 102kgs, no meds taken during the last 10 days.
T +0:00 Ingestion of 16mgs of 2C-B-Fly solved in water with some apple juice on an empty stomach (last food ingestion was approx. 8 hours before). BP 141/79 mmHg, HF 68 bpm.
T +0:17 Definitely onset. Some body sensations and I feel a little cold. A little stomach discomfort.
T +0:23 A good +. Colours are much enhanced, they seem brighter. Some slight morphing effects. Stomach discomfort has gone. BP 144/78 mmHg, HF 80 bpm.
T +0:29 ++ now. I have to dim the lights a little. Body feeling is very much enhanced, touching is very intense. Minor auditory distortions.
T +0:34 A very strong ++ (and still rising!). During the last 10 mins. I tried to watch TV but this is definitely too much.  This is much better. I put on Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield, this music feels very good. Very vivid closed eye visuals.
T +0:51 Reached +++ during the last minutes, but it seems that Iīve plateaued right now. This is strong, really strong! Got some muscle cramps in my legs, my mouth is very dry. Drinking some water helps a little but not for long. BP 153/88 mmHg, HF 96 bpm.
T +1:04 Some very unpleasant jaw clenches, also some stomach discomfort again. I go to the balcony to smoke a cig. Looking into the darkness of the park behind our house is very interesting lots of morphing effects. I run up and down the balcony because I feel that I need to move a little. After I returned to the living room I find it hard to sit down again. Lots of energy and I donīt know what to do with it.
T +1:12 I turn on the Nintendo, maybe doing a game will canalize the energy. I give up after approx 5 mins., because I canīt concentrate on it. Still +++. BP 146/77 mmHg, HF 80 bpm.
T +1:26 Clenches have gone.  Aah, thatīs good! The cold air feels very refreshing. Fortunately, thereīs nobody around at this time (approx. 10:50 pm). I feel that I could get quite paranoid if I met someone. Dwarfs and goblins seem to hide behind the bushes. The stars seem brighter than ever before. The darkness around me seems to have its own colour: itīs not black, but itīs a very dark green. We pass an old maple tree: itīs morphing all the time and everywhere in the tree, I can see faces of spirits. I hug the tree, because I want to become one with it and its spirits. It seems to pulsate. Quite a spiritual experience.
T +2:02 Back to our apartment. During the last 10 mins. I had a little of a feeling, that Iīm coming down. BP 142/80 mmHg, HF 92 bpm (arrhythmic!).
T +2:08 Down to ++. Iīm a little disappointed, because I hoped, this material would last longer. I turn on the TV and find Dude, whereīs my car. I love this movie under weed, so letīs see how it is under the Fly.
T +2:25 Now this is irritating: Iīm back to +++. Whatīs happening here? And the clenches are back.
T +2:31 Iīm back at ++ again. This is really strange. During the next 40 mins. Iīm riding a wave between ++ and +++ for 3 times again. BP 154/97 mmHg, HF 84 bpm.
T +3:16 Back to a stabile ++. I discuss with my sitter how to go own with the trip.
T +3:25 I smoke 1/3 gram of weed. Instantly I shoot back to +++. Still very much energy, but a the same time I feel very tired. I canīt describe this, itīs somehow like trying to sleep while riding a rollercoaster. Saturday night live has just started, but once again I canīt concentrate on the TV, so I ask my sitter to put on a CD again. She chooses Bo Hanssonīs Lord of the Rings, one of my favourite trip CDs. I can really feel the music, but some parts are just too fast for me. Once again I go to the balcony to smoke a cig. Very intense visuals as I look out into the darkness. The trees move in a gentle fall wind and morph all the time. Some kind of weird manga is running before my eyes. Itīs quite cold out there but I donīt feel it. BP 138/86 mmHg, HF 104 bpm.
T +3:47 Trip is still very fast and slow at the same time. I still canīt describe this state. My thoughts are running at high speed but most of it doesnīt make any sense. I feel that I have lots of ideas, but I fail to put them down. My sitter offers to assist me, but I find out, that there are no words to describe my ideas. They have a lot to do with physics and chemistry, but nothing really makes sense.
T +3:58 As always, when a trip is very fast, my smoking frequency rises. Iīm back to the balcony when it comes to me, what I tried to describe during the last 30 mins: this tripīs is like a rocket flying into a huge pile of pillows again and again. Yes, thatīs it! At one moment Iīm the rocket, at the next moment Iīm the pillows, and one moment later Iīm neither the rocket nor the pillows, but the pure speed energy! Visuals are still wild. BP 135/87 mmHg, HF 108 bpm.
T +4:23 Fortunately, the trip has become a little slower during the last 5 mins, a strong ++ now. Now Iīm really enjoying this (not that it was too unpleasant before, but at some times, the energy was simply too much). Back to the TV, South Park is on. I have lots of fun during the next 30 mins. After that I try a little gaming on the PC, which goes surprisingly well, but becomes boring after approx. 15 mins. BP 142/77 mmHg, HF 84 bpm.
T +5:05 Iīm getting tired. Itīs already 2:25 am, but my sitter has had so much coffee during the evening, that she donīt want to go to bed neither do I. I bring on the idea from my first 2C-B-Fly experience, that some Methylone could be quite interesting. Unfortunately, I only have 20mgs left. We decide that I should try it.
T +5:10 20mgs of Methylone solved in apple juice are ingested.
T +5:16 Wow, here comes the rocket again! Iīve never had such a fast response to Methylone before, and the 20mgs feel just like normally 150mgs do. Talking is easy. Writing is easy. Everything is just easy! BP 162/101 mmHg, HF 112 bpm.
T +5:28 The waves are back, but this time with a much higher amplitude. Try to imagine this: Changing from +++ to threshold and back to +++ within minutes.  (I wonder what might had happened, if I had had more Methylone available
) At one moment I feel like up in space and the next moment I think I could perfectly run machines or drive a car which Iīd never do under RCs, but it brings my sitter to an idea: Some months ago, we luckily got a copy of an original training program used in some driving schools. I start it on my PC and off I go
well, not too good
After causing 2 major and 9 minor accidents and killing 8 innocent pedestrians, 2 cats and 1 deer within just 13 minutes (only virtually of cause!), I realize, that operating any kind of machine at this moment wouldnīt be a very good idea
Going back to the TV.
T +5:51 After zapping around for a while, I find a documentary movie about the Apollo Project, underlayed with music from the 60s and 70s. As Apollo 10 takes off, I have a wave to +++ again. I am the rocket! This is really great. I switch on the beamer and the surround system for full cinematic experience. Wow! This is really like the state Iīm in! I phantasize being an astronaut and flying into space. This is just the right stuff at the right time.
T +6:44 The documentary movie is over. Iīm getting a little tired again, but am still riding the waves. How long is this going to last? BP 158/91 mmHg, HF 92 bpm.
T +7:02 Very hungry all of a sudden. I realize that I havenīt eaten for more than 15 hours. I assist my sitter in making some pasta, which tastes surprisingly good, but isnīt enough for my hunger.
T +7:41 Feeling a little better and more tired. Iīm coming down a little, but itīs still a good ++. Maybe the eating pushed the metabolism of the substances a little. BP 151/84 mmHg, HF 80 bpm.
T +8:05 Still a stabile ++. The visuals have become weaker, but thereīs still a lot of morphing around me. Like in the beginning, some minor auditory distorsions. Once again I try the Nintendo, but find it to be unsatisfactory. Watching TV isnīt the best either, but I have no idea what to do with the rest of the night (or morning, actually itīs already 5:25 am!).
T +8:40 Getting more and more tired, the same does my sitter. At + now. We decide to go to bed right now. First I think, that a little weed could help me sleep better, but as soon as Iīm in bed, I realize it to be unnecessary. Within minutes I fall asleep, still at +. Very wild and vivid dreams.
After 11 (!) hours I awake (at 5 pm), still a little numb, but finally out of the experience. After only 6 ― hours, I have no problem going to bed again. Next day I wake up fresh and clear.
Conclusions:
The 2C-B-Fly / Methylone combo is definitely worth further exploration. If 20mgs of Methylone have such an effect, how high could I go with, letīs say, 100mgs? If this was already a rocket to the moon, a higher dosage could easily lead to warp 9! I guess the next time, Iīll lower the 2C-B-Fly to 10-12mgs, but mix it with a higher Methylone dose ingested at the same time

"Joe Dirt"
In 1985, little Joe Dirt (Eric Per Sullivan) was abandoned by his white, trailer-trash parents at a Grand Canyon tourist stop. He has had to fend for himself ever since and, even though he has lived a life of hard knocks, he has not forgotten his mom and dad. Now, 15 years later, Joe (David Spade) decides it is time to find his roots and begins his quest in "Joe Dirt."
David Spade, since the death of Chris Farley, has not been able to break out on his own in feature films - see "Lost & Found" for bad starring choices. Usually, he plays the caustic, wise-cracking smartass - a routine that gets tired outside of his Dennis Finch character on TV's "Just Shoot Me." In "Joe Dirt" there is a kinder and gentler Spade in the role of Joe, a not-too-bright but genuinely nice guy. Unfortunately, the movie isn't too good.
 When his head finally closed up, she forgot to remove the wig and he has been burdened with the out-of-date hairpiece ever since. But, he has an intense joie de vie that keeps him going even when he gets covered in pooh-pooh or picked on by school kids. Joe firmly believes that if you are a good person, you will get what you want from life.
Joe begins a cross-country, crisscrossing journey to dig up clues and track down the parents that dubbed him "Dirt." This consists of a series of disjointed, short incidents involving various wacky characters. Some help him, some hinder him and you get the whole story via a radio talk show hosted by the sarcastic Zander Kelly (Dennis Miller). Joe is brought onto the show by the bored emcee to discuss what a loser he is and Joe tells his story. As the tale of his search unfolds it is so compelling Joe instantly gets a huge listener following.
The script by Spade and Fred Wolf is a mishmash of goofy slapstick scenes, emotional moments, an oddball love story (Joe gets the beautiful girl, Brandy (Brittany Daniel)) and a whole bunch of positive messages to the audience. Joe's life, as we see it, is a string of mishaps ranging from falling out of a balloon shaped like a molar to sleeping in a house being fumigated. There are laughs along the way, but most are forced and none too funny.
This Adam Sandler produced effort attracts a whole bunch of comedy figures to it, mostly in small, fleeting performances. Christopher Walken plays Clem, a school janitor in a witness protection program, who helps Joe, dignifies the film with his presence. The rest - Rosanna Arquette as an alligator rancher who hates gators; Joe Don Baker as an abusive, drunken parent to Joe's girlfriend (funny, huh?);
At the end of the screening for "Joe Dirt" I chatted with one of the patrons and asked what he thought of the movie. His response was, "If you want a no-brainer, it's just what the doctor ordered." Now, I see enough no-thinking-required movies as it is without wanting/needing to see yet another one, but I know what the guy means. I, personally, prefer to be challenged to think about a movie, but, if you want to leave your brain at home, maybe "Joe Dirt" is the prescription you need. I give it a C-.
