Dear Universal Studios Home Video: I purchased your Bourne Identity DVD, and I am not happy. You have locked the disk so that I can’t fast forward past your coming attractions trailers. You’ve now made it less likely that I will ever buy another Universal Studios DVD. If I do buy another Universal Studios DVD, [...]

The retouch button in iPhoto 2 is scary good. Seriously, it is amazing how smart this thing is. I assume it’s basically the healing brush from PhotoShop 7 – which I’ve yet to play around with, but OH MY GOD. I had this one photo of some friends’ kid who had some crumbs in her [...]

How did a show like She Spies slip under my radar? It sounds wonderfully horrible: “Alias” meets “Austin Powers” by way of “VIP.” Three female ex-cons (all beautiful, of course) work for the government to bring in criminals. Oh, yes. You have to know that I WILL be watching this show tonight.

Yes!!! I’ve finally added Party Girl to my DVD Collection. I’ve been waiting for this one for EVER. It’s full-screen which sucks hard, and the transfer doesn’t look great. Although that could easily be the source they had to work with. It was an independent, and I don’t remember what the quality of versions I’ve [...]
