It’s a pretty good question. I’m afraid to know the answer…which, sadly, is easily findable in Quicken. Beau also tells the story of his pretty cool Grandma.

William F. Buckley has passed
I know it’s not totally topically appropriate but Monitor Duty is more than comic books and WFB was, is, about more than politics. I was e-mailed this by Fox News, stamped at 11:22 AM CONSERVATIVE WRITER, COMMENTATOR WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY JR. DEAD AT 82 ABC Radio News informed me between 11:30 and noon. I found …

Review: EA Playground (Nintendo Wii)
Wii Sports, which is included in the purchase of a Nintendo Wii, can provide a nice light workout. I’m not saying it is as good as even walking for an hour, but it certainly can get the heart rate moving and muscles aching and that’s better for your health than sitting on your butt for …

American Idol betrays its raison d’être?
American Idol has insisted since its premiere that it is all about making stars of regular old street folk. Radar is publishing a report, or rather a cursory overview that more than suggests that rather than sweeping up gaggles of promising and practicing amateur singers in various cities, that the program American Idol, like NBC’s …

Capsule movie review – The Bourne Identity
The book makes this movie look and smell like over-simplistic crap made for undereducated children. That said it is a terrific movie. Read the book and realize that the movie is (almost) nothing like it.

Capsule movie review – The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Original Flixter review – Fine movie. Too short.

I have written normal formal movie reviews in my high school newspaper (this was nearly ten years ago) and a few on Monitor Duty (although there have been far less here …

Star Trek Pushed To May 2009
http://trekmovie.com/2008/02/13/breaking-news-star-trek-pushed-to-may-2009/ View image Click above for the details. But the gist of it is that Star Trek is being moved to a May 2009 opening instead of Christmas 2008 to take advantage of the summer box office. And some speculate it also is a result of possibly less competition that summer due to the writers …

Guess who just wet his pants.
I did. Witty dialog? Check. Great action, laced with self-reflective humor? Check. Indy kickin’ trash? Double check. (Harrison Ford’s still got it!) I’m definitely seeing this on opening night. I’m officially psyched. MICHAEL TAKES OVER THE POST: Awww, heck…here’s the video, right here:
