I haven't looked for automatic backup systems that use DVDs, but surely they must be out there. My "newest" auto back up is in an electronic junk box in the closet and backs up to rather picey tape cassettes.

Who else here has seen it? It's an amazing effort, well worth seeing. *Dr. Zhivago* isn't Russia's *Gone with the Wind*. *War and Peace* is. W : ) Sergei Bondarchuk is amazing. If you haven't seen his "Waterloo," move mountains to find it. For me it has always been the definitive film about Napoleon. Not to metnion a cast feauring Rod Steiger, Orson Welles, Christopher Plummer and Jack Hawkins. One of the great Russian directors (and actor) who was pretty successful (during the Cold War) at making a mark on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Caroline And a score by Nina Rota.

Shame they should die on the same day. I guess I really should see "An Affair to Remember". Maybe some lonely night with a quart of Chunky Monkey... Alan Brooks A with an Underwood Video HRT "An Affair To Remember" was on AMC very early this morning. Strange timing. You'll need more than the quart of Chunky Monkey, Alan. Add a box of Kleenex.

What do all of you folks think about the upcoming strike? Personally, it seems as ... us and yet I don't see how it can possibly be prevented. Any other thoughts on the subject? NMS I can't think of a strike in any industry! that has accomplished anything without more losses, overall, than gains. Well, maybe a few airline strikes...? On the other hand, with many "residual"" issues on new forms of "screen" writing, I don't see much choice but to strike now and get a toehold in the door.

Boy, is it slow. Quite disheartening, actually. I thought I'd got to the stage ... the knife out now. You wouldn't want to be an extraneous line in my play tonight, I can tell you. No idea whether thisis your first stage play or not, but.. If you know any pro playwrights who will do favors, ask one of them to give it a once over and see what they think. Sometimes plays that are "slow" at a table reading are quite interesting "on the boards." Leaves a little time for business and such. And then there's the factor of the actors. Obviously the timing was working in your head as you visualized it, so think it through before you bring out the old axe.

I've been wondering how much of a screenplay they could have completed with the same amount of mental energy. But there's also a chance it's some sort of cyber-virus. We have an outbreak around here at least once a year. Sometimes oftener. Maybe we need a cyber-vaccine?
