Last Bill Translation

[Made in DNA]

You know, it's funny. I mentioned earlier that many of my buddies were 
staying away from Last Samurai, as was I. Then I find out this last 
weekend, that each one of them went and saw it without telling me. =P 
They came back with glowing reviews as well. So it looks like everyone's 
left me out in the cold. And that the movie IS better than the trailers 
has lead (at least me) to believe. Don't I feel like dork. =P

Anyway, I may check it out, I may wait for rental, who knows. I just 
wish Tom hadn't come on the air to talk about the show and started off 
with, "Everyone knows I'm a Scientologist". *sigh* Yes Tom, we know, but 
keep it to yourself, eh bud?

Best regards,
