Somebody slap me, I must be having a nightmare. Didn't we just go through a format war? Didn't Toshiba just get the living crap beat out of them trying to push the HD DVD format down the throats of a world that thinks a) Sony is better (who knew you could get so much mileage out of "Trinitron") and b) people prefer blue disc cases to red ones (no really!).

There's a time late in the day when lighting is so gloriously perfect, even Thomas Kinkade comes out for a look. It's during these times that directors coax camera men to get the shot during the few short minutes of perfect light they have remaining. Filming proceeds without idle chatter or Tomfoolery because everyone knows what is at stake.

The cover of Korean director Joon-ho Bong's The Host may make you think it's "Puff the Magic Dragon" meets Never Ending Story, but this isn't a tale for young children. Comparing it to Jaws, as the cover art does, is also unfair, since this movie is not about the mere disruption of normalcy, but the complete abandonment of it.

I just installed one of the new line of wireless 'N' routers (802.11n draft resolution), the Belkin Vision N1. The computer industry is, for the most part, not quite as psychotically frenetic with their product introductions as the consumer electronics industry, so this went fairly smoothly. No HDMI teeth mashing, no video muting, no loud buzz when you switch to DTS.
