Thanks for the tip.<br /><br />I made it about halfway through the first season of "24", then gave up on it. Haven't seen it since. I think it might work on DVD, but watching it week to week it just seemed silly. I love the parody of it on THE SIMPSONS, though.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-26424467831318535882009-12-19T19:33:35.960-06:002009-12-19T19:33:35.960-06:00James, Thanks for mentioning this.

It will be interesting to see Keifer Suthlernad in something other than "24", which, I think, does him a disservice as an actor. Have you seen him in "Truth or Consequences, New Mexico"? That's a tight little crime thriller that went straight to video maybe 15 years ago, and he plays a gunman who keeps trying to spin a quarter on its side out of the belief that he'll be able to read people's minds if he ever succeeds. When he finally does...<br /><br />And he has a great line in that movie after the caper goes south:<br />"I don't know what everybody's complaining about! I thought it went pretty well!"Brian Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233187184688491057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-57309803424507800092009-12-19T10:41:08.753-06:002009-12-19T10:41:08.753-06:00When I was in grad school long ago, a famous criti...When I was in grad school long ago, a famous critic named Ian Watt visited for a week and met with the members of a class I was in. What really fascinated us (or me) wasn't that he was a noted critic but that he'd been one of the prisoners who'd built the bridge on the river Kwai. Some of us got him to talk about it a little. Harrowing is the word, all right.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.com
