Nothing on the tube last night, so I went to the "on demand" section of my fios tv and took a walk down memory lane........HEAT. Saw this when it first came out, forgot how good it was (IMO). Pacino, DeNiro, Kilmer, Sizemore...great cast. As an avid fire arms shooter/collector, the street shootout scene after the bank robery was, IMO, the best ever done in a movie. They didn't overdo it with goofy explosions, etc. The sound effects of the gun fire was spot on for the weapons used, even adding the echo from the surrounding  buildings. 2 thumbs up.

Right now I'm listening to my wife nag me about cutting the grass. Damn grass cutting kid down the street's on vacation......how dare he! LOL

I still love Gold Rush: It gives me a BREAK from reality.

Yea, I've watched an episode of that one. I saw the one lasts eason (/) where he had to go ask his sister for more money. As they're showing him in her living room asking for $40k, I'm thinking "yea, like she didn't know what was coming when her brother and a film crew showed up". Still too "staged" for me.

Burn Notice, NCIS and Bones. Thats it. Everything else I watch on TV is either a movie, news or football related. An occasional wildlife show if it pertains to fishing, diving, etc. All those reality shows (yes, I've tried watching atleast 1 episode of each) are incredibly stupid. Besides, they're anything but reality......unscripted maybe, and even then the "players" are being pushed in certain directions.

My car hystory:

1976 = 1964 Dart slant6 (yea, go ahead and laugh. It was a freebe first car)

1978 = 1973 Duster 340

1983 = 1970 Coronet w/ 440

1988 = 1976 Corvette

1994 = 1985 Corvette

1998 = 1969 Corvette ragtop

2010 (and current) = 2000 Benz CL600 V12

Also along the way I've had several choppers including a '62 Panhead, a '58 Harley trike (servi car), 4 Shovelheads and currently a '07 Street Glide. Everything, except the current '07 Harley and the Benz, were in marginal shape when I got them. Did most of the resto's and mods myself to bring them up to shape. Drove 'em around a couple years, sold and moved on to the next project. Lately, I've taken to resto jobbing some throw back speed boats: SideWinder 16, Excalibur 24 and now a Donzi 16 triple hatch currently in the works. What can I say, I gotta have something to tinker with at all times!

Saw Taken2 Sunday. Good job for a sequel. Due to the nature of the first movie, you kinda knew he'd come out on top by the end so it was a bit predictable, but they did a good job of keeping you interested.
