Speaking Of Movies Just in case you think Episode III of George Lucas' Ego won't live up to expectations, there is an alternative: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I really am hoping The Guide is a big hit, for several reasons.  First and foremost because it seems to star "Tim" from The Office.  He's by far my favorite character from my all-time favorite television series, so I'll be happy to see him do well. I'm also hoping it does bonzo box office so that there will be a sequel.  That sequel of course being The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, which I found much more funny than the first book.  Not that I'm a Douglas Adams geek.  Far from it.  The Office geek, yes.  Adams, more of a dabbler. For the record, I'd also like Episode III to not completely destroy what is left over of my love of the original Star Wars flicks.  But I know.  I know.  I shouldn't panic. 7:23:32 PM     |

Google Does Movies Step 1:  go to Google Step 2:  type in "movie: [whatever you're searching for]" (example:  movie: steven spielberg) Step 3:  be impressed You can search for actors, directors, specific movies, or even descriptions, like "space ships," and get all sorts of recommendations.  It'll even accept zip codes if you'd like to know what is showing in your area. 6:33:00 PM     |
