And we saw Men In Black. I suppose the best thing you can say is that it was cute. And it didn’t suck. Of course, there was really no oomph either. The throwaway lines “She wanted to go back to the morgue - I just helped her along” and the bit players (the worms, the subway monster, the video store conspiracy geek, etc…) were more interesting than the main plot.

However, the trailers were a lot of fun. :) The two towers, Daredevil, T3 (though it wins for most anemic teaser *ever*), and the new Star Trek pic. (The bad guy *so* looks like a techno-mage). And when did hollywood start sending trailers out *13 frelling months* before opening? The matrix didn’t bother me - I knew I had a long time to wait for that. The winter movies? That’s normal. But don’t get me all hot and bothered and then tell me I have to wait a whole year. That’s just not fair.

But Reign of Fire is out next week. That ought to be good. Mmmm… angry dragons….

Because some people really need to be made fun of -

Now and then I look at the site and think - time for a new look. Been playing around with an all CSS, heavy on the SSI layout. The upside? My pair account supports SSI, making most of my ideas feasable. The downside? Tonight I get to see if I can install apache on my ‘98 box at home. (There shall be no web server active on my work machine. Sceurity and all that. And my boss would probably have a cat.) Early browser testing is going swimmingly. NS4.x is only getting minimal support, and of the higher end browsers, only Opera is giving any hiccups. Seeing as my browser stats are consistantly at least 95% IE5+, I’m not too worried. Yet. (The other shoe has to drop sometime - no redesign ever goes off this easy.)

Actually, *all* flavors of Netscape and mozilla together make up about 2% of my page views on a good day. Lemme tell you folks - NS7 PR1 *kicks*. All the good from ver.6 - none of the crap. Tabbed browsing and selective java disabling…. die popups! Die die die….

Oh, sorry. Where was I? Oh yeah - redesigns. Time to ponder a new color scheme.
