Ric, that's actually pretty similar to "Psycho." I'll admit I don't know what the trailers for it were like, but the first half-hour sets up what looks like the story of a thief on the run with a bunch o' loot. She stops for the night at a small motel off the beaten path and prepares for her next move, then the story takes a hard left turn when she takes a shower and finds herself getting poked in the belly in a decidedly un-Pillsbury-Doughboy-like way.

Hey Shimmy, you might be onto something. I remember a similar campaign a few years ago, where the first teaser showed short clips with no dialogue or sound effects but let you know the movie was full of mystery, adventure and romance. Then the movie opened, and people were trying to figure out the mystery of where the adventure and romance went, and the video release was promoted with a silly commercial showing a segment that, depending on the viewer's mood when he saw it, was either completely bad-ass or inexcusably stupid.

You might have seen it, I think it was "When Clones Attack!" or something like that.

Check out "The Tailor of Panama" if you haven't seen it. It's sort of "The Thomas Crown Affair" remake's evil twin, and features a briefly nekkid (or at least topless) Jamie Lee Curtis. I'm glad she made it before deciding not to make movies she couldn't watch with her kids.

In the words of Hank Hill: "It's called the double standard, Bobby. Don't knock it, we got the long end of the stick on that one." No pun intended.

Yup. Or as Boomhauer might say: "Maaan, dang old double standard alright sometime, ain' no sense seein' dang old man-thang inna movie but nice perky pair o' bosoms onna screeen, atsa beauty o' nature man, I tell you whut."

Spoiler warnings are useful in this case because, while some folks (like ChainsawAsh, ADM and myself) keep up with the show week-to-week as it airs here in the US, there are other people who out of choice (my wife prefers to do season-set DVD marathons) or necessity (UKers who don't download torrents are several weeks behind--I guess it's what they get for seeing BSG before we do) aren't current with what happened before the last sequence of "dleek-kthoom" at XX:59:59 on the Bauer clock.

**So yeah, like, there might be some spoilers and stuff below.**

I was a little disappointed a few weeks ago when Chloe didn't smack Miss I-was-a-chemistry-major-nobody-better-fuckin'-touch-me with her laptop, but seeing her zap hotel-bar-dude not once but twice definitely made up for it. However, by sending her out into the field late in the season twice in a row, they've set a tricky precedent for next year.

I'm still undecided as to whether I'm intrigued or frustrated by the idea that terrorist plots are like ogres. Just when we thought we'd worked through all the oniony layers to the core duo (no Intel reference intended) of Logan and Henderson, we see that the helicopter falling off the roof of that Chicago hospital was simply a way for Dr. Rocket Romano to disappear into his lair of headset-wearing puppet-mastery. Or is he merely another, bigger marionette than Bierko and the others? Is John Malkovich behind it all? Tune in next week, same Bauer-time, same Bauer-channel!

The trick to avoiding PayPal fees on private transfers is one that PayPal mentions, albeit quietly, on their site. You are allowed to have two PayPal accounts, as long as they are linked to different email addresses and different bank accounts. This is done to allow people to keep business and personal stuff separate. Any account that accepts credit cards is considered a business account (don't remember the precise nomenclature, but it's something to that effect) and fees will be collected on *ALL* transfers going into it. If you prohibit credit card payments on your personal account, it's fee-free.

*Automobiles will always start and stop moving with the sound of screeching tires, even if the driven wheels are in grass/dirt/gravel or the car has anti-lock brakes.
