I swear, there is on castrecl a "music critic" who is dumber than a box of hair; he seems incapable of doing any research, asks entirely moronic questions, and knows nothing. Oy!

I've already had my first criticism of Illya Darling based on the CLIPS from the site - an castrecl member wrote to ask WHY I didn't remix the whole thing from the three-track session masters, because the opening number, which wasn't on the original LP and which I did mix, sounds so much better. I had to explain to him the following things, all covered in the booklet - a) on a 1000 unit title the profit margin is very small, hence it would have been cost-prohibitive to remix from scratch, b) I would never presume to remix the original producer's work, c) even if I WOULD presume to do so, there were multiple takes done, not always clearly marked as to which were used, plus pickups, inserts, and overdubs, none of which are clearly marked as to which went with what, and I wasn't about to "guess" at that, and d) if I HAD remixed from scratch you can bet your ASS there would be an equal number of people bellyaching how I'd CHANGED THE ORIGINAL SOUND OF THE LP AND HOW DARE I. In other words, e) you can't win.

Perhaps one of the few times when substituting "they're" works pretty much as well.

So, before I end up taking a nap at my desk here at the office, I'm going to head out and run some errands.

Laters...

I had a pleasant afternoon of viewing. I began with last night's HEROES, a very good episode with some neat surprises.

I know some folks don't like him, but I think Sylar is a great villain. He makes the show for me.

I also loved both Peter and Nathan's participation in last night's episode.

Next, I watched BEDTIME STORIES on regular DVD. Still a slight, sweet little family comedy. No great shakes, but for Adam Sandler to turn out a movie that doesn't find me grabbing for the remote within a few minutes is pretty special.

I just had an unpleasant blast from the past: a call from LA from a person who was once a rather good friend looking for a phone number.

Yes, but are you dumber than one?

There was one special feature that was not on the Blu-ray. It was Dylan and Cole Sprouse from the Disney Channel espousing the Blu-ray format. Otherwise, the same bonus features were on both the DVD and the Blu-ray.

Next, I watched another episode from the NCIS second season box set. This was a story featuring Charles Durning as a Medal of Honor winner who comes to NCIS to turn himself in for murdering his buddy during Iwo Jima. A pretty predictable story, but Durning certainly had some touching moments with various members of the team.

And I concluded my afternoon by skimming through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Luke and Noah were there arguing about Luke's father's motives and giving him the benefit of the doubt. "Pollyanna" Noah, as usual, took the high ground, but I think he's going to end up with egg on his face with this stand.

I'm more fascinated by the idiocy of the surrogate pregnancy plot. Do these characters remotely act like real human beings?
