Thanks.  I watched the first episode and loved it.  I'll be working through them steadily in the near future, I suspect.  :)
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The latest Harry Potter... meh.

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

- Eyal Yanilov.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

- Bruce Lee

Very good then.  :)

I'll come around to reading at least a few of the books some time. Right now I've got a little too much on my plate.
If and when you do PLEASE read them in order.

Currently running on a movie channel:

"Don't touch the white woman!"
A 1974 French movie about Little Big Horn. The twist: the actors are costumed, but the movie is filmed on location in Paris. So you may see Custer riding down a modern Paris street, berating his low morale soldiers who hang around in a bistro. Site of the battle is the construction site of the Centre Pompidou. Kind of as if reenactors stage the scenes in an urban environment. The only one so far dressed casually is anthropologist Pinkerton, wearing jeans and a university sweater.

Rather surreal.

8 Mile

Surprisingly realistic depiction of Detriot; not only was the film shot here, they also got a number of details about the city right.  Most of the city is filled with run down houses and deteriorating buildings.  There really is a restaurant called Intermezzo, a private school called Cranbrook and a club called The Shelter.  The parking garage with all the theatric highlights that they hold the rap battles at is a real place; The Michigan Theater was a movie house that was converted into a parking garage and the theaters original painted walls and ceiling were left as is. 

On the other hand if Rabbit actually had an automotive factory job in 1995 he would be making at least $20 an hour; more than enough to move out of his Mom's trailer.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Just saw the web series Family which is about a girl with two boyfriends all living together. Interesting concept, though of course the writing and production values are amateurish.

I've been watching Entourage, half way through the second season.  I really wish I had a multimillionaire movie star best friend to mooch cars, booze, and groupies off of.   :(
