    Carl - I'm sending high thoughts and prayers in your direction. If you do have your operation in San Antonio, let me know and hopefully I can come by for a visit.


    The last non-western I watched was "Abyss" in the original version which I have on VHS. I'm ambivalent as to which I like better - the original or the augmented version (with the aliens causing all the mayhem around the world).


    Cheers - Jay :D

    This time it is that I am now awaiting a date to be set for a lung operation I need. I was SUPPOSED to have had the operation before the end of summer but--and get this--my Drs office in San Antionio--lost my paperwork :headbonk: and I have to go through the process of resubmitting everything to insurance. :blink:

    Hi Carl - It seems that the administrative staffs of a lot of doctors seem to have IQs barely above moron. The request for refills of prescriptions with our primary doctor always seems to fall through the cracks and it takes several days for anything to finally be OK'd :headbonk: .
    Have you noticed? - the medical profession is virtually the only one where if you get something you don't want or doesn't work, you still have to pay for it :angry: . In any other instance, if you get a product you don't want or if it is defective, you can replace it or get your money back ^^ . Between insurance boggles and rising medical costs, a sick person doesn't stand a chance :dead: .
    Cheers - Jay <_<

    I pulled out my DVD of "The High and the Mighty" - thought I'd watch it with the commentary activated. Only got through half of it and will finish tonight, but the information provided nuggets of gold scattered thoughout.

    I broke down last night and watched "Troy." Fairly good actioner with lots of special effects and grandeur photography. I though Eric Bana did a lot better with his character than did Brad Pitt. Though Peter O'Toole didn't have that many scenes, he still commanded attention in those he was in. Of course, history was pretty well mauled by the storyline, but the purpose here was entertainment rather than historical accuracy
    "The Alamo" was nowhere near historically correct either, but JW was looking to the overall view with the primary thought of entertainment.

    Watched an actioner the other night - "The Rundown." Not bad for its type with gorgeous scenery (filmed in Hawaii playing the part of Brazil). Starred wrestling megastar "The Rock," aka Darryl Johnson, who actually has some kind of screen presence. Also starred Rosario Dawson (MIBII, Adventures of Pluto Nash) as the female eye-candy as well as Christopher Walken doing a turn as a tongue-in-cheek villain. Not too bad as a B movie action flick with lots of wrestling-style fights.
    Cheers - Jay :D
