    Hey Ken!

    Yeah, I think I'm gonna fire up THE PATRIOT tonight (the night before the 4th)...THE PATRIOT in DTS on the Superbit edition is pretty wild...

    Maybe I'll put a "Blast From the Past" type review of it up.

    You want to hear something scary? We're supposed to be in Hawaii for our honeymoon when they're supposed to be launched...

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I hope that "president" we have is going to finally grow some balls and do something about the situation, which apparently isn't as important, to TV news, as covering the tour of Jackson's Neverland Ranch...

    Whatever.

    El Topo....interesting choice to say the least...You fell asleep during that! The first time I saw that was in NYC when I was in my mid-20s...I couldn't sleep at all that night.

    I haven't seen the second!

    I did indeed do "The Patriot" on Superbit (running the DTS track) on Friday night, while we did "Independence Day" on Blu-ray on the 4th, last night; I'll have a "flashback" review of that up soon, but I know I'm gonna be dodgin' some bullets there because I thought the PQ sucked. :eek:
