Re: Dick Cheney:

The worst V.P. in modern history -- a man who shot a friend in the face on a hunting trip -- is proving on a daily basis that there's NO FOOL LIKE AN OLD FOOL.

He is a pathetic spokesman for the GOP....long may the Democrats retain control of government.

I would love to see him tried for war crimes, found guilty, and locked up till his pact with Satan wears out.

I must say I have been largely underwhelmed by the image quality on the STAR TREK BDs.

Have I mentioned that my sister attended the University of Wyoming with Mr. Cheney and insists he was even weirder back then. I don't know if I should mention this, as it links me with the Cheneys in a way, but the only scholarship foundation larger than the Kauffman one at the University of Wyoming is the Cheney one. I will say that ours is specifically for minority students, which means the one minority student per year who attends the University of Wyoming gets a rather large windfall.

Gee, I just heard he just bought a tear-down in Studio City and will be putting up a Cheney McCastle later this year. The round-the-clock news vans will drive the neighbors nuts!

Talking about "blind items"....I was just visiting my Yahoo mailbox and saw the subject line "The Lay of the Land."

I thought, for a moment, that one of our very own might be sending me a blind item about a Hainsie/Kimlet.

But...alas....it was one of those fund-raising pitches from the Democratic party.

This house is shaking like mad - and the booms that are going on are sonic in proportion. And the owners are probably already living in one of those monstrosities elsewhere until this monstrosity is finished. Or, even worse, it's being built by a speculator.

Yep, I endured a year of that when they bulldozed the block next to me (four two story houses) to make way for the condo complex they built. Looks lovely now, but it was hell on earth for 1+ years. And not just noise and shaking, but streets blocked with their machinery (my garage entrance was on the side street where the construction was going on). Truly a nightmare.

Had a nice lunch with lots 'o talk about AMERICAN IDOL and the '24' season finale. We usually talk RESCUE ME, but a couple of the guys hadn't watched this week's episode yet, so we couldn't discuss it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #110 on:** May 21, 2009, 01:26:51 PM »

When I got in, I watched LICENCE TO KILL, the most dour of the James Bond films. I really liked Timothy Dalton as Bond, but this one was a very dark revenge story, and the villain a mere drug lord kind of paled next to some of the great supervillains of the older Bonds. It's longer than it needed to be, too.

But those truck stunts at the climax of the film are stupendous, worth the wait.

Matt H. · « **Reply #111 on:** May 21, 2009, 01:27:29 PM »

I had time to sample the two commentaries and to go through the deleted scenes. Still much more work to do on this one tonight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #112 on:** May 21, 2009, 01:28:53 PM »

Oh, and the Blu-ray looks just wonderful. My DVD of LICENCE TO KILL is slightly soft and has some processing problems, but this transfer is clear as a bell and rock steady with no aliasing or moiré to be seen, and there were plenty of places where it could have cropped up, but it never did.

Matt H. · « **Reply #113 on:** May 21, 2009, 02:08:04 PM »

I've been meaning to mention it for days. THE CLOSER comes out on DVD next week. I'm really looking forward to seeing those episodes again. I do love the show and can't wait for it to return to TNT-HD, too!

Matt H. · « **Reply #114 on:** May 21, 2009, 02:08:34 PM »

That was Seasson 4 of THE CLOSER, of course, The other three seasons are already available.

I've walked to the pharmacy and ridden the bus to my storage space, which is now cleaned out and closed down. I'm getting $188 back, and I am no longer paying $150/month. That's all fantastic news.

Great news!
