Liam Neeson got his first lead as Darkman,  played Oscar in Shindler's list, outworked Gibson's Braveheart as the  Roth-splitting Rob Roy.   He was the only Character in the lastest Star Wars Trilogy to out act the CGI yoga, and now he plays Batman's mentor in Batman Begins.

I like Liam Neeson.

I also like the Cowboy Junkies.  Contrary to what anyone might say to the contrary, the two best albums they have done are Lay it Down and Pale Sun, Crescent Moon.  

More on that later. Gotta go to work.

Lileks on Woody Allen

Without the ability to make moral distinctions based on motive, consequences, the ethical constructs of various parties, everything is equal, and you end up with people like Woody Allen: a tiny speck of compacted narcissism, revolving around the dead sun in an empty universe. What’s left? Well, thank heavens for little girls.

Not that there’s a heaven.

I noticed a strange rainbow pattern across the face of my cell phone saturday morning.   Sunday I noticed the same pattern on my Ipod.  What had happened friday, that ruined both pieces of electronics?  A gravity wave, ozone depletion, magnetic pole shifts?  

After I half day of of pondering, I hung my head down in defeat, and took my new sunglasses off to wipe my furrowed brow..... and that fixed the problem.

Someone needs to color up the Harris-maussa fight. This is the best I have seen so far, but it only scratches the surface of the insanity.
