A Sporting Chance
Posted by CKL @ 02:19 PM PST |
| My girlfriend gave me the Sports Night DVD box set as a Christmas present, and we watched the pilot episode last night. I noticed several things that I had forgotten about the show. The most heartbreaking was the opening shot, which had been missing from the syndicated reruns: the World Trade Center towers glittering in the night.

| Thanks to the San Francisco Chronicle's Mark Morford for showing us one thing spam is good for: pure amusement value. I love free entertainment. |

You're too happy.

| Yeah, I'm talking to you, the idiot who's grinning just because it's raining today. But this will fix that. It's one woman's account of how her father died last August, and how the total incompetence of the airport personnel at SFO made the situation worse than it ever should have been. Read it, and if you don't get upset, seek help. (I'll refrain from making any obvious references to September 11th.) |

werpuff Gir
Posted by CKL @ 11:11 AM PST |
On Monday, I finally watched The Powerpuff Girls Movie on DVD. Imagine my horror when I saw this title card displayed before the DVD menus: "This film has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit your screen." I'm something of a purist for film presentation, so this both annoyed and confused me. The former because clips from the movie were shown letterboxed in some of the special features; the latter because Craig McCracken and company seem like the kind of movie nuts (in a good way) who would demand an uncompromised video release of their movie.

The Antitrust Settlement That Wasn't
Posted by CKL @ 01:23 AM PST |
You may have received an e-mail telling you that if you bought a music CD between 1995 and 2000, you're entitled to get $20 back from record companies because of an antitrust lawsuit settlement. No? Well, it's true. But read the fine print to find out why you probably won't see a dime.
