Ah, thanks, Bronzey. I knew it was something simple... It's all the chlorine gas, heavy metals, and  whatnot the gov't has been pooling into my groundwater. It all goes hazy after a few weeks. Moon was a great DVD, and the Short included (Screamers or Whistlers or somesuch) was nice, too.

I loved Minority Report, Tom Cruise notwithstanding. Haven't seen Tron, 2001, Metropolis, or the original "Day". Have seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind--nice flick.

What's the name of the one where a few decent chaps, sans suicidal cripple, go out to the nether regions of space to a mining facility and recover an alien artifact that turns out to be a transdimensional hyper-nova bomb straight out of Douglas Adams' Life, the Universe, and Everything? Is it Nova? I liked that one, too.
