Ponderings For 2007-7-10
posted in Ponderings |- Small delay on the Harry Potter review. I went to the new all-digital Stratford Square theaters that I’ve been frequenting for the last week or so. Got there and they were without power. I was already running a bit later than I’d hoped. Had to wait in line 5-10 minutes for passes being handed out. By the time I left, I’d have arrived some 10-15 minutes ahead of start at one of the other area theaters. Given how crowded Stratford was (They’ve been open less than 2 weeks, and I’ve been there 3 times - hadn’t seem more than a few dozen people there on previous visits), I figured I’d not press my luck getting to another venue that late before start. One of my ulterior motives for going to the new Stratford theaters was that clearly not a lot of people had discovered them yet. Or so it seemed before I saw the hoards of people that were there tonight. So, I’ll be seeing it tomorrow and will post the review at that point.
- Young Indy FINALLY gets a release date on DVD! Yippie!
- The friendly neighborhood lawn chair ballooner is at it again. The nut.
- Check out the 1st NES commercial. A neighbor kid got one of ‘em when it first launched, with Rob the Robot & the zap gun. Duck Hunt was the highlight of that system’s legacy. Never liked the NES much myself. Was a total Sega boy at that time, and totally loved the superior Sega Master System (SMS).
- Nice. The joys of a reissued number.
- The Smoking Gun has an amusing post on Mandy Moore’s tour rider. When you compare it to the unrestrained insanity of many of the other tour riders they have posted…
- For you fellow IT nerds, there’s a brand new SysInternals tool called AD Explorer that was just released. Nifty looking Active Directory editor/manager.
- You know you’re a nerd when you find stuff like this interesting.
- I’ve finally convinced myself to revise my Live Free Or Die Hard review. I’ve bumped it up a point and moved it up a bit on my 2007 Film Order list. It’s definitely growing on me.
