my new best friend


admit it, you want one!
i can hook you up.

the up side

a new deadline has been set for TV conversion from analog to digital. i haven't a clue what any of it means, but read all about it here, http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_11721487, and i'm writing about it anyway. here's what i understand. if you don't have a converter box, you ain't gonna be able to watch much TV. this is going to hurt. for some, the pain will be unbearable, while for others it will only be one more inconvenience in a numb life where they've gotten all too used to inconvenience.
and now the upside.
if people can't watch TV, because they can't afford a $40 TV converter box, maybe, just maybe, they'll read more? think of it. this is good, right? it's free to check out books from your local library, if they haven't closed down due to budget cuts. i'm thinking (hoping) this TV CONverter box nonsense will cause more people to read more. if people read more, perhaps they'll learn more, and understand more, and get smarter, and live more fulfilled lives. or am i just nuts?
what do you think?
i'm on YouTube under, "franklandfields".
enjoy. peace out.

The Pink Panther 2

for those who grew up seeing peter sellers play the pink panther, nobody will ever do it like that. that said, i give this latest pink panther a medium bag of popcorn, no butter, no drink, no milk duds. sorry. it's mildly funny. they try hard. i think what's needed is a better script. at any rate, it's fun entertainment, and laughter was heard in the theatre. it's not the funniest comedy i've seen, but it will do.
to view my films, see them on YouTube under, "franklandfields". enjoy. peace out.

Slumdog Millionaire

this is one of the best films i have seen this year. i give it a full bag of popcorn, with extra real butter, and a large refillable all-you-can-drink drink, and a bag of chips. this is a movie you must not miss. i really enjoyed it, and you should stop reading NOW if you don't want to know any more about the movie. one of the reasons i liked this film so much is because it has what i want from every movie and out of life: a happy ending.
hope i haven't spoiled it for you. enjoy. peace. on YouTube under, "franklandfields". be.
