Blogging seems to be all the rage, so what the heck? I'll follow the lemmings over the cliff too! It probably won't get me elected President, but maybe some interesting discussions will come out of it... Beware, however: I speak my mind here, and I'm pretty frank and open. Some may be offended at the content and/or opinions. If you're easily offended, you might want to look elsewhere for reading material.

When/If you post a comment (and I hope you will!), be sure to put in a URL --- even if you just use mine (http://alan.batie.org/) --- if you don't, your email address will get put in as a link on your name, and you'll suddenly find yourself on Spam Central. Not my doing, I promise you! They scan websites for embedded email addresses. You've been warned --- I really don't wish spam on anyone (well, ok, maybe the spammers themselves)!

Finally, if you want to be notified when I post the this blog, signup on the lemmings mailing list.

Bulletproof Monk

I was very pleased with this movie: it's not a deep movie by any means, and one has to be willing to give them the nonsense about "if you believe, it will be so", but I like Sean William Scott, and I'm glad to see him taking a step up from the stoner roles he's been doing. Of course, Chow Yung Fat goes without saying! Except maybe why'd he bother? But I'm glad he did, he helps bring the movie up a level or two. I also like the resolution --- in the more complex world of today, it takes a little more to protect an item that powerful. Though I think they could have done a better job of maybe explaining what they were protecting it for... Presumably someday someone will be able to make use of it for good, but it would probably be safest to just destroy it. I think it's going to be a very long time before it would be safe to have around.
