The movie Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen as Frank Bullitt. Famous for a car chase that is totally overrated. Not great dialogue. Interesting "get-a-witness-that-the-mob-wants-dead-to-testify" plot that has been rehashed by a zillion movies since. If this movie were redone today it'd be about 25 minutes because there are a bunch of shots of people walking that just waste time (although I suppose the director was trying to set the mood or ambiance or something).

Not worth watching, even from the "trying to watch old movies and get 'cultured'" angle.

Syracuse lost. Seems like they've lost 10 games this season, even though they've only lost 3. They take too much time off in the middle of games.

Can't wait.

Syracuse lost. They didn't play with any determination except for about 2 minutes.

CNN article on products with big markups.

The world needs to know that hand sanitizer is not a substitute for washing your hands. If you pick through a pile of poo then use hand sanitizer, all you have is sanitized poo on your hands. You still need to wash them.

The principle holds when considering filters and boiling water. If you have an iffy water source and you just boil your water, all you have is sanitized dirty water. If you don't want to drink dirt, you need to filter it, too.

Just sayin'.
