LawTalkers - Fashionistas you have arrived 3-25-03

As my fellow crossword-puzzle geeks out there I'm sure can confirm, the word "AVATAR" was an answer in yesterday's NYT crossword!!

And who says these boards are a waste of time?

Whoa. Ease on down the road, Xena.

Which reminds me, how are you feeling these days, Wonk?

Hopefully you are on the mend. I am glad to see you posting regularly again.

I'm doing pretty well. Back at work and out of the house, which was beginning to drive me crazy.

I'm still having some pain from the surgery though, which makes me cranky sometimes.

I like Manhunter better than Red Dragon. Maybe that's because I like Michael Mann.

See, This is what I meant before about being cranky. And you seem to be getting more than your share of it, Sebby.

I, too, like Michael Mann.

Sebby, I can't imagine you having anything to do with a cat's litter box whatsoever.

The movie as a whole isn't scary. The opening inspection of the murder scene is though. When me and some of my family saw it, two of the women up and left for a Disney flick, or something.

The movie manhunter is pretty good. I'd prefer Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal, but other than that, it's pretty good.

I get the heebie jeebies every time I hear that Iron Butterfly song after seeing that movie. Michael Mann did a good job of directing Manhunter, I thought.

Either I change the cats' litter or do do the laundry. Me, I'm a litter guy.

Speaking of Crappy Movies...

Knight Rider is coming to a big screen near you:

Tragically, David Hasselhoff will only be producing apparently, not starring. Though I understand he's very popular in Europe.

Wonk,

If you dig Mann, then maybe you'll agree at just how underrated Insider was, or about how Christopher Plummer should have received an oscar.

My favorite movie quote:

Plummer to Gina Gershon:
"What are you going to do now? Are you going to 'lawyer' me?"

I love that scene - Plummer is so utterly condescending.

S(and I'm still waiting for the right moment to deliver it in earnest myself)D

Green Card (no, not the stupid movie of the same name)

I am pleased to report that the trusty INS, afteryears (not kidding) of contemplation, has seen fit to approve my green card petition. Now it's just a matter of processing (should take about another year), but yay!!! Happy news!

Boy, things are really slipping when they're letting the Canucks in so easily. :D But seriously, Congratulations.

Congratulations! But remember "should" is the operative word here - these are the folks who deem fingerprints expired every 15mo or so and who lost my entire file (and then told me I didn't exist. Nice.). I will keep my fingers crossed for you for the next three or four years to be safe.
