re #55: or more likely that the rest of the dirt they could dig up
was embarrassing to *both* sides.

Ringo, perhaps. But those who actually know Kenneth Starr state that
he is an immensely good and decent person.

it also doesn't excuse the lengths the Clinton Administration went to hide
things that were of no danger to it.

The Bush Administration, by contrast, is a paragon of transparency who
is always happy to share information.

What did the Clinton Administration hide (especially things more egregious
than like Cheney's energy advisory panel)?

did I say the Bush administration was perfect?
where were the first ladies papers? If they had been available the first week
it would have saved the government a load of money, but she lost them for over
2 years.
If you are being investigated, and you lose or hide needed documents, it is
going to caus ethe investigator to dig deeper.

You never lose/misplace anything?

re #70: I lose things all the time, but when I do it's pretty clear I
had no incentive to do so.. So far I've never "lost" documents that had
been subpoenaed in an investigation. Nor do I have a staff who can be
tasked with finding stuff for me.

I hope everyone would agree that someone losing something for which they
might have an incentive to lose is not necessary guility of doing so
deliberately.

Thank you, Richard.
I saw Hellboy at the dollar theater. I've never read the comics, but I
enjoyed it. I didn't know Ron Pearlman was the star. Seems like the
only time I see him is when he's covered in makeup.

I have just watched again "Underneath", which dates
from 1995. The direction is Okay but a little rough
on the style. Trying to be clever Soderbergh didn't
get great ideas to work out. "Underneath" is interesting
to watch. As a movie itself, it's more than a experience.

I thought that Hellboy was entertaining. Okay, a bit predictable in
spots, but the character of Hellboy was fun. The rest of the cast was
all right, the fish-man (whose name is excaping me) was one of my
favorites.
Saw Harry Potter: Prizoner of Azkhaban on IMAX a few weeks ago. I
don't think that it was much better than non-IMAX, though maybe the
IMAX experience would have been better if we (all 10 of us who went)
were a few rows back and more to the center.
I do have to highly recommend the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" with Jeff
Foxworthy, Bill Engval, Larry the Cable guy and (my favorite) Ron
White. Okay, so the humor is a bit low brow, but it never fails to
make me laugh... a lot.

I just wrote a very long email to a friend about The Station Agent. It
occurred to me that I could post it here too as a review. The only
thing is that this review has a minor spoiler in it so if you are one
of those people who get really mad about those...you better skip this
post.
It was a very visually stunning movie. Every shot was
like a photograph. I have been working on developing
my eye for visual composition and I found this film to
be very enriching in that way. Naturally, I also was
very impressed with the characters which isnt a
surprise because character study as a genre has always
appealed to me.
The scene near the end where Fin is stumbling drunk on
the tracks and then falls just before the train comes
by reminded me a lot of a short story called "A Train
is an Order of Occurance Designed to Lead to Some
Result" by Sherman Alexie. Have you read that? That
story has a lot of significance for me because I read
it the day before I found out a friend killed himself
by stumbling on the train tracks while high on a
suicidal dose of some pills. I dont know if he meant
to get run over by the train but he meant to off
himself so the end result was the same. Alexie's story
also is a reason why I have a personal rule not to
walk home from the bar on the tracks even though that
is the shortest route for me.
