Didn't make sense but I thought it was hilarious. I *also* had the honor of meeting John Lithgow. I was in a chorus in college, & there was a big arts weekend & he emceed a concert at which we & others sang. Anyway, there was a reception afterwards, and I somehow got the guts to walk up to him & ask him a question. I guess I & a friend had recently seen it, so I brilliantly used my first & possibly last ever meeting with a Somebody to say something like, "so I loved BB. Um, what were you guys thinking while you filmed it?" or something like that. He said something like "you should ask my son about it." (His son was a student at Harvard at the time & I guess JL was trying to get rid of us politely.) The best part of BB is when they run through a room & see a watermelon with a bunch of probes & scientific stuff connected to it. One guy asks what it's for & the other guy says "I'll tell you later", only he never does. OK, pretty weird movie. -Amir ps Oops. I'm supposed to be working. Well, I may be disappearing for a week, although it's not really for work (my wife has her one week of the year of vacation next week so we're heading out). Which means I'm NOT going to do the lyx.org/LDN thing, although I think it's a great idea and it should be really easy to implement given the brilliantly modular design that Asger & I created. (Or just do the easy part of making a couple pages, and then ask me to do the fancy stuff. I'll probably fall for it, since I"m such a pushover.)
