I’m in the process of re-watching all the episodes of Firefly. Again. It’s that good. It’s so good I’m contemplating buying it on Blu-Ray just to have it.
(I don’t have a Blu-Ray player).
I was looking at the Entertainment Earth website and saw this amazing monstrosity:

We also know first hand that Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. We have been working with Adobe to fix these problems, but they have persisted for several years now.
I agree.
I saw an ad promoting the new Star Trek movie as “This is not your father’s Star Trek” — blech.
“This is not your father’s Star Trek” is a phrase that has more significance to the generation of kids that grew up watching Star Trek reruns than it does to the kids it is trying to attract.
The phrase they are alluding to is “This is not your father’s Oldsmobile” — a ill-conceived attempt to get people my age to buy Oldsmobiles (rather than our parents/grandparents). The end result of that brilliant bit of marketing… no more Oldsmobile.
As my friend Jim used to say (quite often),
If Bea Arthur married Arthur Murray,
she would Bea Arthur Murray.
When prominent celebrities from from childhood die, I often look up with biographies. Maude is one of those shows I sort of remember, though I think it mostly dealt with topics that were of no interest to me. And Golden Girls is a TV show everyone has heard of. So I was kinda surprised to find out that Bea Arthur was actually involved in a Star Wars project.
