I think Spielberg's Dad was also in the PTO, which might have made him a bit biased. I am not sure on that one. I am just glad it got here finally.

As far as "the War" I was not all that impressed. It was a big thing to get done, but it might
be a lot closer to "the Pacific" than we yet know. All these references back to the same 4 towns,
or in this case, two people. It all remains to be seen. I WATCHED The War, but did not come away
overly impressed. It was a unique way to view a giant war, but for me, not the best way. Or even
what I thought the "burns way" would be.

NO I can wait until it is released. To let you know how long, one night I am watching the Emmys WAY back when, and DEADWOOD was winning all these awards. I said ONE DAY I am going to pick that set up. Finally got to it yesterday. All this talk of war and blood got me lusting after some new gore. I heard you all talking about Generation Kill, so I picked that up at Best Buy, which is a misnomer. Target is Best Buy. Best Buy is 20 dollars more on everything, just like a freaking tax. But Deadwood was 59 bucks a season. And there, off in a corner of the rack, marked down 30 bucks to 119 was The Complete Deadwood box. So I walked out of BB with bruised nuts to say the least. But at least I have a war weekend ahead.

The OLYs. Oly fatigue or not, it was an event you can all be proud of nationally. How you conquered the weather and still made it happen was monumental. How you allowed Catherine O'Hara to talk about Peeing one's name in the snow in the Closing Ceremonies was amazing. Alot of beer swilling talk. And isn't Bill Shatner dead? I heard he was upset that they wouldn't let him play Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek. (no I didn't)
