  there's a few shows i watch that are IMHO superb: [i]the shield[/i]. set in LA, it's about a rogue cop, his team and their misadventures. very dark, very interesting. [i]psych[/i]. this just started. set in some southern california city that i don't recall, it's about a guy w/ eidetic memory who fakes being a psychic to do detective work for the city cops. also stars dule hill, formerly of [i]west wing[/i]. [i]dirty jobs[/i]. host mike rowe goes around the US looking for jobs that make people really, really dirty. [i]iron chef[/i]. either the original japanese show or the new food network incarnation, both rock. i'll be doing a separate comment for favorite movies. :>

  Television Shows I really like: [i]Monk[/i] [i]Mythbusters[/i] [i]Unwrapped[/i] [i]Iron Chef[/i] Both the original and the new food work version [i]Good Eats[/i] I love Alton Brown. And am looking forward to seeing [i]Feasting on Asphalt[/i] [i]Dirty jobs[/i] [i]Rescue Me[/i] I don't really catch any of these shows all that often. I rarely have time for TV. I too will do a separate comment for movies.

  Galaxy Quest! Well acted, consistent tone, funny material, touching characters, great editing, state of the art special effects, heart. All star cast and well-developed premise.

  BTW, don't tell him I told you this, but NakedProf was IN Forrest Gump. He IS funny, isn't he?

• silverwhisper said on Aug 04, 2006....

  super z: alton brown is like unto a god. :> feasting on asphalt: very interesting stuff, IMHO. :> movies: [i]stand by me[/i] [i]the princess bride[/i] [i]the untouchables[/i] [i]eddie and the cruisers[/i] there's a lot of coming of age-related-ness to these films. ed

  Silver: Mmmm...Alton Brown.... [blinks and looks at silver suspiciously] You, sir, stole half my movie list, which I will completely post in a few.

  There is Casablanca, and there is the rest of all the movies in the world in a pile to choose from. That is all.

  I'm a movie freak so it'd be close to impossible for me to name all of my favorites... but... it'll be a sacrilege if i don't mention the one at the top of my list. It's a little known movie shown almost a decade ago about 4 souls who, after their untimely death, have to do the one thing that would have made their lives complete before they pass on. And they do all these with the help of a man who's got problems of his own. It's a timeless and endearing story that never fails to leave me with a tear in my eye. The movie is called: Heart And Souls. Hmmm... that seems to be a good thread to start... "Should you suddenly have an untimely demise and were given the chance to do the one thing that would have made your life complete before you pass on... what would it be?..."

  movies: [i]the untouchables the princess bride fight club charade the maltese falcon dead poet's society mulan stand by me girl interrupted crash the journey of august king[/i] I should say that this list is probably incomplete because there are so many movies that I thoroughly enjoy.

• silverwhisper said on Aug 05, 2006....

  how the [b]hell[/b] did i forget [i]dead poets society[/i]?! ed

• Zayda said on Aug 05, 2006....

  I wasn't around to remind you. [smirks] BTW, I am currently watching feasting on Asphalt and my mouth is watering. You know, there is just something hot about Alton Brown.

• silverwhisper said on Aug 05, 2006....

  the mrs feels the same about him. i'm fairly certain she had most pleasant dreams last saturday when food network ran a good eats marathon for a few hours before the premiere of asphalt. :> ed

• Zayda said on Aug 05, 2006....

  Hehehe...yep, I watched that same marathon. It was delicious.
