I went to a little independent movie theater tonight and caught a showing of Mongol. It came out worldwide last summer, but I guess it's just making its way stateside. It's supposedly the first of what will be a trilogy spanning Genghis Khan's life. The movie was pretty good, maybe worth checking out if you like semi-historical war epics and happen to see it playing at a theater near you. I wouldn't expect to catch it at the big multiplex at your mall, though. You'll have to search for it.

Pleeeaaaaase please please please let this play as good as it looks.

George Carlin died of heart failure yesterday.

I remember the first time I heard his "seven words" bit, I was instantly a fan of his standup. He was a great comedian, and will undoubtedly be missed by many.
