News Larry King approves of Cavalia
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 5:28 PM
On Ga 400 this morning, I saw a billboard promoting Cavalia, the Cirque Du Soleil-ish equestrian show currently occupying a giant tent at Atlantic Station.
The billboard consists of the Cavalia logo and a solitary quotation: "The greatest show I have ever seen."
In smaller letters below those words are the attribution: "Larry King."
For perspective, here's a sampling of some of the veteran CNN host's other recent likes and dislikes, as found on his Twitter feed:
"The remake of the Taking of Pelham 1,2,3 is a topnotch thriller. The best is years… Denzel Washington & John Travolta are superb."
"last night's show with Ashton was probably the most exciting we've done since the Nafta debate."
"Danny [Gans] was one of the best entertainers I'd ever seen. he was a great impressionist, singer and comedian. did you ever see his show?"
"one of my new favorite foods is peanut butter."
On Angels & Demons: "Mystery meets excitement with a real surprise ending --it was a true thriller!"
"They never get the credit they deserve, but jockeys are the best athletes in all of sports."
"Just saw Woody Allen's new movie "Whatver Works" It's his greatest movie, even better than "Annie Hall" I can't say good enough about it!"
"Not usually into these things, but MJs memorial exceeded my expectations. I loved when Brooke Shields quoted "Smile" then Jermaine sang it."
"Had lunch w Nancy Reagan. She mentioned her recent visit to DC & said the Obamas were terrific to her. She's 88 and looks sensational."
"I love black licorice, but you can have red licorice."
"Saw Mickey Rooney today at Spago. He's 88 and still being Mickey. Laurence Olivier once called him the 'greatest american actor'"
I don’t know why, but I don’t like short sleeve shirts.
There isn't a better crime writer alive than Michael Connelly -- I can't wait to read his latest book "9 Dragons" -- I got it today!
I loved "Law Abiding Citizen" -- I don't know what the critics were watching! It's a cracker jack thriller from start to finish!
"Of all the muffins, corn is my favorite."

"Of all the muffins, corn is my favorite" -- Best. Phony title for a Walk Whitman poem. Ever.
I really wish that I could like and get as excited about stuff as Larry King does.
I'm still waiting for the book compiling 20 years' worth of his USA Today columns.
