I'm so sorry, but I'm laughing my ass off over what you just said.  I can't
imagine what you were verbalizing as you were watching that shit.

Hmm .. maybe I'll watch it.  I'm not a big zombie fan.

 AA> Now.. Hostel (the torture porn film..) I'll pass.

Probably a good idea, the movie SAW, paled in comparison to Hostel.  They
took the movie too far.  I haven't seen any of the others that have been
released.  If they could top the first, I wouldn't want to.  Scarface was an
excellent example of shocking people without actually showing someone getting
cut up by a chainsaw.  Whenever our society turned to demanding more realismn
in violance is beyond me.  I was content with the likes of Scarface, the
Shining, and the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre, level of "shock."

 AA> I'm having too much fun watching Burn Notice. I'd like to live in that

Hmmm ... I love spy shows and novels, a better one (but similar) is on the
tip of my fingers but can't recall this AM.  I'll try to provide some
recommendations.  I only buy blu-rays of spy, military, historical, and super
hero flicks -- oh and the occasional remake of a retro show like the A-Team,
etc... just because I can.
