Yes. If you have a Windows machine, it probably came with WinDVD installed on it. But it's probably a "crippleware" version that won't let you do screen captures. My current computer, for example, came with WinDVD 5 on it, but there's absolutely no way to do a screen capture with it -- even though i...

The best DVD player I ever had for capturing images was PowerDVD, but sadly, the computer that had that software on it is now in my nephew's bedroom in Cleveland. PowerDVD allowed me to "inch" the scene forward frame by frame so that I could make a capture of the exact moment that I wanted. I now us...

Yeah, I gotta wear a hard hat at work quite frequently, and for sure no one would ever wear one unless they had to. Certainly not on their own time, and in a bar.

That link only got me to the front page for the getty image site. After entering my country (USA) and language, I got a general search page. Doing a search on the term "magnum pi ferrrari" got me to the image. (Just typing in "magnum ferrari" didn't work.) But I'm glad you posted about this as I nev...

Um, you'll probably see Selleck next in Vegas, this fall, when he joins that cast as a regular. How frequently will he appear? Probably not frequently enough to suit me, but I'll still be watching for him. And there is another Jesse Stone movie in the works, which I believe is slated for broadcast s...

A&E ran a biography about him this past weekend, and they showed clips of him riding a horse in a Marlboro commercial. I don't know when cigarette advertising was banned on television, but it is conceivable that he is old enough to have been in some ads on TV. That is, assuming the clips were actual...

Heart Is In the Right Place

I have got WAY TOO MUCH time on my hands today! I came across this video on YouTube, and I have to say that I really admire this guy's sentiment re the Magnum movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMgA3xrIogM At first I thought it was kind of joke, but no, I think he's serious. Still, his effort is ...

Given the time and money constraints in making movies, I think these Jesse Stone movies are fantastically well made. They don't have the same cheesy production values that most made for TV movies have, where you can tell every shot was framed and filmed in a hurry. These movies have a carefully craf...

Well, I find that all of the seasons have their good and weak episodes. But for me, even the weak episodes have something redeeming about them. Usually, I'm always happy to see any interaction between Magnum and Higgins. All I need is to hear Higgins say " Oh. My. God! " and I'm already smiling. The...

That was a real Blast From the Past. I haven't read Mad Magazine since I was a kid, and it was FUN reading the silly Magnum parody. I really enjoyed the clever and witty artwork. Those caricatures are spot on.

Thank you for taking the time and posting this.

Huh....you don't suppose he could have the site hosted on some other country's server? Or does Germany's law not allow such a loophole?

Good news for fans of the Jesse Stone movies. IMDB reports that this latest movie was among the top ten for that week. Here's their quote: The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research: 1. American Idol (Wednesday), Fox, 17.8/28; 2. Dancing With the Stars (Tuesday), ABC, 15.0/24; 3. Am...
