I haven't become a fan of 3D yet. Saw Polar Express way back when. Saw Avitar and maybe one or two others. My Theatre has a non 3D print option and that's how I plan to see Green Lantern.

Isn't it a little naive to put all the blame on the Insurance Companies? What about ever increasing medical care costs from the providers to the medical equipment manufacturers? What about frivolous litigation (some of the litigation surly is frivolous) which necessitates some of those increasing medical care costs? From where I sit there's plenty of blame to go around. I really have no idea what the answer is. But adding a new government bureaucracy seems to me to be adding a layer of complexity to an already overly complex problem. Also I really don't like being lied to like I was by the Obama Administration. There's no way that their plan will result in reduced per capita medical costs as they claim in their projections. Also the bandied about promise that we will all be able to keep our current coverage doesn't stand up to the reality that as businesses are penalized for keeping private coverage most will eventually give up and go with the government coverage. Back to the insurance companies, I trust their need to compete for more customers to help manage costs then a no competition bureaucracy (and the government pensions that go with that increased bureaucracy). In the final analysis I don't trust Our Government manage my health care dollars, especially given that they are currently borrowing 40 cents of every dollar they spend. I vote for sticking with the free enterprise system that built this country.

Nice.

Gross

A sad loss for the music world. This last video of him is a nice testimonial.

I saw it. It was OK entertainment. Not as good as the original, but that's so often the case.

I wonder what's wrong with plain old baby powder.

Good one!

Captain Horatio Hornblower series

I just finished an oldie but goodie, Michael Crichton's Timeline.

I too was curious when this topic first appeared. Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery Expat. Get back to the strippers soon.

Fried Green Tomatos...Kathy Bates in a funny performance.

I agree with gcursor...nice phrasing Lucky. When I read omnipotent Daddy my thoughts, along with a chuckle, immediately went to the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz. But I think in this case, more likely impotent.

I believe the other site referred to is Daddy's, formerly HooBoy's, taken over and run in a questionable way.

Yes...Only in San Francisco. Stay out of the parents decision. I want less legislation in my life not more!

Hey Zippy, I thought you got the points. Why don't you keep your butt to yourself. I welcome hitoallusa and all others.

Loved The Usual Suspects. One of the best villian names of all time...Kaiser Souse (soosee) sp?

Me too. I think it's because attention spans have become shorter probably because there is so much content out there. Plus the networks have no balls.

So that's how to get your own row of seats!!

I love British TV too. Who remembers Yes Minister followed by Yes Prime Minister....or Fawlty Towers. MI-5 was pretty good too. There is so much more character development in British TV and film. I was disappointed recently though by the updated Upstairs Downstairs.

I found the article moving too. We really need to see more of this in Sports.

Watching that clip almost made me seasick.

I don't care for how self absorbed Josh Flag is, but I love the scenes with him and his Grandmother.

I watch and enjoy the show. I like the business aspect of potentially turning around a failing business.

Hope you have a great B-Day!
