Saw the flick. Save your money. I like Jarmusch's earlier work (Mystery Train, Down By Law) but this one is a HUGE disappointment. It ends up going nowhere...very slowly. If you like Spanish locations, you might just enjoy it for the scenery. One of his more pretentious films.

Serling practically coined the phrase "Witness if you will..." You know of course he wrote the screenplay for "Planet of the Apes". Watching the series now is like going back to a more innocent time, a time before JFK, a time before Vietnam, before cell phones...

Didn't know Ken Watanabe had such a cute and leggy daughter. Hard to be a Scrooge with her around, eh?

The Obamas and the Hatoyamas. Hey, they share the same last "ama"s. Must have met in a previous lifetime.

They are at least trying to give the impression that they are hitting the ground running, which is good. They get an "A" for effort. And at this point they seem to be showing a good deal more transparency than their predecessors. If they manage to stay clear of Ozawa's…

Saw the 77 year old finance minister Hirohisa Fujii on NHK last night. He seemed to be most mentally alert and coherent of the bunch. He knows what he's talking about, unlike some of the others. Okada on the other hand...

Yeah, Aso wasn't as bad as his detractors make him out to be. What will stick out in my mind about his administration was the drunken behavior of his economic czar at that Hokkaido summit and his daily nightcaps at his favorite hotel bar. All in all, a fine PM…

I think Carter overstepped his bounds. He may think what he wants, but to add fuel to the fire with this kind of public comment is disgraceful. And he's not helping the President. Jimmy, stick to building shelters.
