Later today will be the start of Lance Armstrong attempts at winning Tour de France for the 7th times in a row! Thanks to us moving from NJ back to Manhattan, we now have Outdoor Live Network from Time Warner Cable so I can watch the Tour every night. And thanks to TiVo, I won’t miss any daily action at all with a Season Pass set up 🙂
Go Armstrong! Get the yellow jersey! Live Strong!

I didn’t even know I got tagged to do the DVD meme by badly dubbed boy until Leah told me last night. So here goes.
Total number of films I own on DVD/video: At last count a few minutes ago, 72. This doesn’t include Leah’s own extensive collection though.
The last film I bought: Lost In Translation. Why didn’t Bill Murray win the Oscar for his role? Is there no justice in this world?
The last film I watched: That’s easy one. Star Wars Episode III. Bad acting but great movie.
Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (in no particular order):
Contact: Probably the best Sci-Fi movie I’ve seen. Forgetting the possibility or impossibility of alien contact, the deeper question is whether you will volunteer to go or not despite the risk? Me? Definitely a go.
Forrest Gump: Tom Hank may not be the best actor ever, but his portray of Forrest Gump was pretty spot on. But it was the story that made this movie works. There isn’t another movie (that I know of) that digests recent American history that well.
Top Gun: I know it is cheesy and it is Tom Cruise. But when you were a bored teenager spending a long summer school break in Hong Kong without much spare money to spend, Top Gun was great movie to pass time!
The Original Star Wars Trilogy: Enough said.
Band of Brothers: I know this is not a film but since we are talking just DVDs… Easily the best TV mini-series by a long margin. The camaraderie of the paratroopers and the scarifies they made for the greater good can made even a grown man cries.
And to pass this on…
Leah and I are in the line right now for the 12:01 a.m. showing. Still another 4 hours to go…
Or when is 21st Century not 21st Century? They are not what they are when information have to be dumbed down to the lowest denominator!
Apparently the Star Wars Episode III preview tickets that we have for May 18th, Wednesday 12:01 a.m. is not for tonight. It is for tomorrow night, i.e. Thursday 12:01 a.m. Why? Apparently it is because it is Wednesday evening so it is Wednesday 12:01 a.m. I would have given them the benefit of my doubt if they had used 12:00 a.m. but 12:01 a.m.?
Look at Fandango or MovieTickets.com and see for yourself.
Oh and the millennium thing? The year 2000 is still in the 20th Century. January 1st, 2001 is the first day of the 21st Century. Just like if you are born on January 1st, 0000, you are not one year old until January 1st, 0001. Or two thousands years old until January 1st, 20001. Stupid!
I am sorry? Did I lose you on my logical explanation of the concerpt of the forth dimension?
So, no Star Wars tonight due to the population inability to discern date time. I hate stupid people and the dumbing down to accommodate them. How about this for an idea? Let’s educate people so they understand simple concept as date and time?
Until the scrolling text to infinity starts for Star Wars Episode III for us. We have the tickets for the preview showing at 12:01 am tonight. Can’t wait…
