I don't believe I have anything interesting to say today. As usual.

Thanks for sharing! :D

I can't remember whether you have an all-region player, MattH, but if you don't, given your insatiable love of film and DVD, you really should get one.  The best of them can be had for under two hundred and fifty bucks and there are models much cheaper than that, although you must make sure they do the PAL to NTSC conversion properly, otherwise you won't get the proper ratio.  I have so many great other region discs that cannot be had in any format in this country, or which have much better transfers.

Hey, Jenny, meet you at McD's for a BM.  BIG MAC, all you people with your minds in the gutter.

Noel, your McDonald's comments will be addressed in tomorrow's notes when I talk about the film - but basically I found its argument preposterous - that if you were to eat three meals a day for thirty days in a row you'd have problems if all those meals were at McDonald's.  I think you could say the same of any fast food restaurant and basically any sort of diet with no variety.  I eat at McDonald's maybe twice a month, sometimes I go three or four months without a visit, and I suppose there have been times when I've eaten there maybe four times in a month.  Furthermore, I have never gained a single pound eating my one McDonald's meal in a day.  In fact, when I was playing racquetball regularly in the early eighties, I used to love to do my hour of racquetball then go directly to McDonald's and eat a large amount of food (including fries) - on those occasions I would always lose a pound or two the next day.  While I'm sure that Super Size Me applies to a small minority of people who eat fast food day and night, I think the majority of people don't do that.  I also think there's living proof in the film that you don't have to weigh three hundred pounds if you've eaten a LOT of McDonald's - just look at the guy who eats nothing but Big Macs - he's not overweight at all, in fact, he looks a little thin to me.

Oops!
I had NOT read your comment yet... and see we agree!
Fun! :D

The DVD player in my bedroom is an all region player, but I find I don't often go to Amazon.uk or other places that sell other-region DVDs. Perhaps once this latest group of shows I'm involved in is over, I can treat myself to some for Christmas.

DR Maya, I'm glad you weren't insulted by my obvious error in thinking you a high school student. If you aren't flattered now to be thought younger than you are, believe me there will come a time when you'll LOVE hearing that.

Anyway, sorry about my mistake and break all kinds of legs with your audition endeavors.

Glad some people like him. He does nothing for me either looks-wise or talent (or lack of it)-wise. Granted, the dialogue he and Natalie Portman had to spout in STAR WARS II was dreadful, but his acting was just so terrible. I had a hard time not laughing at all of their scenes.

MY DD had the same reaction as bk and Jenny to Supersize Me - she wanted to go to McD's.
By the way, she says the McD's in Budapest are great - very friendly and clean.

Well, I wish I could say the same about the ones in Paris! >:(

I've always wondered why people in the States go out so often for burgers while it's such an easy item to fix at home!

One thing I can add is that his French was very good in the version I saw! ::)

"Rational" is the last thing I would call you, Francois. ;)

And I should add about DD that she is totally into eating the food of whatever land she is in (including Nevernever...) -- but as she is in Budapest for an entire semester, I guess she needs a McD fix once in a while.
