Post lunch run - Tithe.  

It's been waaaaay too long since the last one.



Did you miss the bus?


No, I miss the athletic body I used to have when I was regularly doing triathlons. I'm trying to force a bit of time from my schedule for workouts, without taking it from any family time. Lunch is almost all there is.

Have you SEEN Meg Ryan lately? Botox City!

Speaking of which, take a gander at the "group poster" for Sex and the City 2: The Wrath of Khan. It's impossible to tell where the Botox ends and the Photoshopping begins... Yikes!

Yes, I've seen a pic of her. The years haven't been kind to her. She was cute in Sleepless though.

I watched the umpteenth reprise of "Sleepless in Seattle" last weekend.


Was someone holding a gun to your head?!

Actually, I kind of like it ... it was the first ever "feel good" movie I went to with my ex GF. She was very kittenish after we had seen it

Finally saw Avatar yesterday. While the story is certainly....ummm.....banal, shall we say....it was very well done. I would even say that it was not over the top dramatic for the brackets they gave themselves. And I certainly acknowledge the "revolution" in moviemaking. In the long view, I think we witnessed the death of cinematic makeup as we know it (probably along with any actual acting, but w/e).

Hmmm ... I guess I have to go and see it so I can form my own opinion.

My son saw it, and liked it. I figure I'll enjoy it for what it is. Probably end up renting it to watch on Bluray.

My wife and I both liked "Avatar" (we watched 3D version) and preferred much over "Hurt Locker"...

Tonight we will go to see "Robin Hood"!


Let us know how it is.


Yuri, we both liked it (my wife more - me a little less)!

It was fun to watch and it offered different perspective on "Robin Hood"...


What I didn't like that much is the last 45 or so of the movie (I felt it was "rushed" and at that point the scenario, well, "stretched imagination quite a bit" - the pace until that was OK - it was slow but I like it that way - the move is about 2.5 hours long)...

Seems like you dodged a real bullet too. The following is what one of the papers here in Stockholm wrote about the film;

"The toxic combination of tastelessness and overall lack of ideas as well as talent presented, numbs your senses and leaves nasty chemical burns in the brain. You stumble nauseated out of the cinema, silly grateful that the evil dream finally came to an end" ...



Edit: 1/Note: That is written by a female reporter ... 2/The qoute above has been translated from Swedish. Any translational errors are all mine.

Back in the day, we'd call that "soft focus".

Morning tithe, gentlemen.

Status: offline 		The books that sent GF over the edge (we have both an imminent move and a 3-day event riding clinic to do in July requiring some $$$ for supplies and in my case, an expensive new helmut) were William Ramsey's "The Battle of France: Then and Now. Six Nations Locked in Aerial Combat Sept 1939 - June 1940" and Chris Dunning's "Courage Alone: The Italian Air Force 1940 - 1943"

That was two weeks ago. Inspired by the most recent rendition of "Those poor dumb Japanese......they should never have taken on the West" as seen in the thread "Japan's Allies?", I checked my wait list for Edward Drea's "Japan's Imperial Army: Its Rise and Fall, 1853–1945" and found a good condition used copy for $20.00. Decided to go for it as i've been wanting it for a while. Will make a good companion piece to Bergerud and Coxx on the IJA. You know....the dumb army that could ONLY win in China unless the enemy was suprised and/or confused.

Not that i'm being disparaging or anything.....I only report the FACTS.
