Hey Ben, yes, it must be since I got it that way.

Cooper was good. Didn’t know that about the Oscar, but pop culture is (mostly) my nemesis. It’s stuff that can be looked up, if you can any sort of traction with the reference in the first place.

Just like with the Oscars for years now (can be looked up) so much other stuff can be looked up. Need to know about Yu-Gi-Oh!? Look it up you know where… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh%21 [Not to pick on anything in particular, just the first odd bit of pop culture came to mind to which I really know nothing about other than it is Japanese and drawn.]

Seems to me that the best use of Wikipedia is for just these sorts of pop culture tidbits. Oh well, I don’t want to be a reference librarian anyway.

Hey Mark — hope your dentistry went well, too.

Three Burials sounds great to me…is it on DVD already?

Agreed on Adaptation — it seemed really forced to me as well. Chris Cooper was good (he usually is a pretty solid actor) but I’m not sure why the Oscar nod went his way. Okay movie, but didn’t live up to the expectations after Being John Malkovich.

Mark!

How’s the tooth? Any better at all?

It sounds like you had a far more relaxing Thanksgiving than I did, and I’m jealous that you got to watch so many movies. Let me know how Spellbound is…
