Please send DS Craig some major interview vibes. He has an important job interview on Monday afternoon. After he nails the interview I pray he doesn't, once again, lose a coveted position due to someone with more experience.

Vibes for the father of DR JOHNG
One week ago, we were sitting in the audience at Buck Creek Players waiting to see BRAIN FROM PLANET X.
Oh crap, I still have not made my hotel reservations.
RE: Avatar being a bear bones release.The press release said that it was a bare bone because that way the can have the highest bitrate possible.
. . .also, the aspect ratio was changed for home video, wasn't it? (of AVATAR).

Well, they may be bastards, but, I did some fast fact-checking and the aspect ratio of 1.78:1 is correct. Therefore, I stand corrected.

Breathtaking new world and heaps and heaps of imagination in creating it. The main story, of course, we've seen in so many other books and films: corporate America/greed/industrialists moving into an area and taking over for exploitation no matter what environmental treasures and traditions are upset. That I found a little trite actually and the evil characters so one dimensional. It's beautiful and engrossing and even moving in places but the core story seemed a little stale and pretty predictable, too.Which is exactly what you will read should you go back and glance at today's notes.I also agree with your note about the inconvenience of having to upgrade the firmware on your Blu-Ray player. [I also have a Blu-Ray Samsung.]It's one of major the reasons that I still choose DVD over Blu-Ray when buying or renting titles.I watched it on a Panasonic Blu-ray player that had no trouble at all, but later on tonight, I'll put it in my Samsung 1500 and see what happens. I suspect it won't play even though I have the most recent firmware.Not that I'm planning to buy or even rent a copy, but I would be curious to know how AVATAR does on your Samsung. Thanks.
