    • A Better Bond Skyfall was the first Bond film in years to hit the right balance between action and humor. Here's hoping that the upcoming SPECTRE keeps that trend going. ➡

    • Breadcrummy Would it be too much trouble to say 'I read about this _here_, and you can buy it or get more info _here_,' instead of forcing your readers to jump through multiple hoops? By the time I found my way to the source page, I'd pretty much lost interest in it. ➡
    • …that isn’t the question. After some reviewing of finances and priorities, Prairie and I decided to stay in Standard Definition for the time being, and save our purchase of a fancy-schmancy new HDTV set for some as-yet undetermined future date. ➡
    • Links for December 5th through December 8th Sometime between December 5th and December 8th, I thought this stuff was interesting. You might think so too! ➡

    • 100 Overlooked Films of the ’90s I stumbled across this list of the 100 most overlooked films of the 1990's yesterday, meant to do a meme-style 'seen it' list, and then spaced it. I was reminded today when DeAnna beat me to the punch — so here's mine. Bold title films I've seen… ➡
    • Konichiwa! First off, my apologies, as it's entirely likely that I managed to mangle the Americanized version of a Japanese greeting. Looks like the recent Wired article that I'm mentioned in just got picked up in Japan, which is sending another round of visitors my way. ➡

    • Get a cheap PC from AOL Okay — I'm no great fan of either AOL or Windows-based PCs, but I have to admit that if you're looking for a cheap computer and are willing to settle for Windows XP Home and use AOL for your 'net connection, this isn't a bad deal (though not quite as good as they lead you to believe on first blush). ➡
    • MiddleEarth mania, week one: The Fellowship of the Ring Saturday Prairie and I started our three-week string of Lord of the Rings movie watching with the Cinerama's showing of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition. ➡

    • ¡TchKunG! at the FUNC It's so difficult to convey in words the energy that is present during one of their shows, but they're by far one of my favorite bands to see live. The best word I can think of to describe any show by them is 'tribal', in the truest sense of the word -- the crowd gets so wrapped up in things, that it becomes something more than a collection of individuals, and something closer to a 'tribe', I suppose...oh, whatever. You get the point. Or you don't. ➡
