Maybe the scene from the trailer didn't make it into the movie. Anyway, James Bond is SUPPOSED to say things like that. "Rhyan, moosht thingshin here don'tshreact well to bulletsh."

The line was, "I'm a priest, not a saint." and was used to explain why an old priest had lied about the location of some buried treasure. It didn't bother me that much. There were a few cheesy lines here and there, but none that compare to this.

Hearing the oneliner, "I'm a count, not a saint," in the previews is why I haven't seen it yet. Before that, I wanted to see it.

Beth and I watched The Count of Monte Cristo last night, and it was very good. I was surprised by how good it was, actually. Don't know why it didn't do better in the theaters.

Me in my salad days. The guys on either side of C. Everett were fired for competing with the company, a claim I still find hard to digest. C. Everett no longer bears any affiliation with the website bearing his name (read disclaimer at bottom of page). I was getting all nostalgic, thinking that if drkoop.com had been a successful company, and I had hung in there, I could be making a whole lot of money right now. But then I realistically realized that drkoop.com wasn't ever going to be successful. The company was founded and funded by pool-cover salesmen. The old CEO used to say to us, "Healthcare is a [large number] billion dollar a year industry. Now if we can even get a fraction of a percentage of that money, we'll be enormously successful." Ultimately, that was all there was to their business plan. Sure they tried a bunch of things to make money, but they didn't stick with any of those initiatives, even when they showed signs of working. I guess that maybe in 1997 I should've approached a venture capitalist and said, "Bill Gates is worth [large number] billion dollars. Now if I can even get a fraction of a percentage of that money, I'll be enormously successful."

I hate yahoo. Gerbils make me smile, especially when they look like they're being turned slowly on a spit.
Looking at tiffanystar's reference report, I'd say it's coz a bunch of people are deep-linking her art and pics.
