Baud Attitude passed 100,000 hits today, which is pretty good considering that 90% of the material here is interesting to, oh, me and the three or four RL friends who read this. 🙂 But that’s not really today’s topic. Today … Continue reading →

Posted on October 2, 2008 by baudattitude

Dear Director of “Sunshine”

Posted on February 20, 2008 by baudattitude

Creepy actor coincidences.

Posted on February 9, 2008 by baudattitude

I saw “The Sum of All Fears” shortly after it came out on DVD, which was some while before I started watching “Alias”. I’m also not very good at keeping track of actors, so I didn’t realize there was any … Continue reading →

Being behind the times… not a bad thing.

Posted on August 9, 2007 by baudattitude

A weekend with Harry (no spoilers)

Posted on July 22, 2007 by baudattitude
