For example, most of the actors in Band of Brothers were British, yet I would've never been able to tell until I either checked the IMDb or saw them in another role. Lt. Winters, Lt. Welsh, Sgt. Martin, Liebgott, all British. (I saw the guy that played Liebgott in a J.

It was the final statement, the last thing the audience would take away from the experience. Allow me to offer to contrasts: Saving Private Ryan: I always thought that Saving Private Ryan was robbed of the Best Picture Oscar when it was up for it. When Spielberg won Best Director, I was certain that Saving Private J.

Anyway, since I know everyone has made a huge deal about it, it's Asian Heritage month. It's so nice of the white man to group the heritages of 3 billion people on the world largest continent into one month. Anyway, I'd like to recognize unsung Asians.

So I'm sitting down to dinner and flipping around the channels, and Star Trek V is on AMC. That gets me wondering just how loose AMC's definition of "classic" is. I keep flipping around, and a few channels later, Commando is on. Thus, arguably the worst Star Trek film ever (I think Generations makes a very strong case) and arguably the worst SchwarzeneggerJ.

I'm a geek, a nerd, a dork, what have you. I have no problem fessing up to that. A lot of my friends are also geeks/nerds/dorks. In invariably, Star Trek comes up. Sometimes it's the usual debates (best captain, etc) but sometimes, it's downright creepy, like whether or not photon torpedos are guided (I say no), whether or not the Constitution-class J.

Despite being the only column submitted all summer, this was not published online because Schwartz was being an opportunistic dick who was using the Review website to promote his own writings, despiting not being on the staff.

Again, more random thoughts: - Softball injury update: In addition to the balky right hamstring, I hurt my left wrist in a collision at first base a week and a half ago. It was my first time playing first, and the throw from third was wide to the left, and I collided with the runner as I ranged into the basepath to J.

The tin-foil hat set thinks this was all a hoax, that the Apollo 1 fire set us back so much that we were unable to meet JFK's dream of making it to the moon before the decade was out, but making us unable to beat the Soviets as well. If beating the Soviets was the goal, then why, pray tell, would we attempt to go back SIX MORE J.

I'm not sure if it's better than Game 7 last year in the ALCS. The circumstances were different, of course, but I think last night's game was just a little more intense, if only because Joe Torre had Jon Lieber warming up...in the on deck circle. -I'm convinced my "Boston Sucks" shirt with my dirty Yankee capJ.

It was so hot, Ted Kennedy drove his car into a river just to cool off. -The Senate released their financial records, today, and apparently, Ted Kennedy gets $2500 a month from renting out a parking space.

But really, what is a grudge, rather than a promise for revenge? And like all other promises that I make, I intend to keep any that involve making sure people get theirs, if that's the case.

I stood with three presidents, Tom Hanks, Tom Brokaw, Bob Dole, and a couple thousand WWII veterans on the Mall as we sang God Bless America, with a flight of F-16s flying overhead. The WWII Memorial is nice, but I just hope that we don't go overboard with building war memorials. I can understand building a Vietnam memorial, as the war was still a raw wound in the J.
