Greetings
I added a new feature to DvdFriend yesterday. Basically, it a NEWS section at the top of the main page. I'm going to use that as an outlet for my musing of upcoming movies and DVDs. If you want more Jay foolishness, then I urge you to got to http://www.dvdfriend.us and subscribe to the news feed and/or the movie review feed.

Dark City, Director's Cut
I was browsing around that internet thing this morning, and came across word of DARK CITY: DIRECTOR'S cut.... and its coming out this week!

I don't want to say too much about it incase you haven't seen it. As you watch it, you may compare it to other movies possibly with disdain until you realize that Dark City came out before most of those other movies.
Its good solid sci-fi, but according to the director he had to make concessions to the studio at the time of the release. The director's cut is about 11 minutes longer, though I don't know if the rest of the movie has been juggled around at all.
If you haven't seen it, then I strongly recommend at least renting it if you're a sci fi fan.

The big 36
Wednesday was my 36th birthday. At least, I think I'm 36. I checked with my sister Amy, and she agrees. We had an incidident about 10 years ago where I thought I was 27 turning 28, and Amy corrected me. She told me I was actually about to turn 27. I argued at first; after all, its me. I know how old I am, right? Wrong. If I ever forget my age, I immediately consult Amy.
Gina's over 5 months pregnant. Usually she likes to make a big deal out of my birthday. I don't object much. I figured this year we could take it easy. So, rather than have a cookout over the weekend as she would usually do, she prepared a turkey dinner four about 20 people. Very relaxing for her.
The dinner was on Wednesday night. I really didn't expect friends from work to attend due to it being the middle of the week, but they did.
The first course was lasangna, courtesy of Gina's mother. The second course was the turkey; thanksgiving in July. Good stuff. That was followed up by chocolate cake, and Carvel ice cream cake. Heavenly.
Carlos brought his Wii, and Mike brought his controllers. We played 4-way Mario Cart for a while. The competition was fierce.
This year's theme was Kung Fu Panda. Gina is in serious denial about my age. I warned people in advance about the themes. Jack will be here next year. I can then attribute the themes to his presence; this year, though, all I can do is shrug and hope everyone enjoyed it.
Getting old.
