I'd previously sworn that I could watch Katherine Heigl in anything. This was years ago, after sitting through Prince Valiant on the big screen. I stood by that statement during Bride of Chucky and that dog-awful version of the Tempest. I even watched Bug Buster twice, just to prove I could (and because I had major insomnia while on a business trip, and it was the only thing on the hotel's Showtime channel that night). I attempted to watch Roswell, but had time conflicts. But I know I could have watched some episodes of it, if t had been in a better time slot, and wasted less screen time on all the non-Katherine members of the cast. Even after Valentine, I still swore I'd give her a chance or two.

Tonight, I watched her episode of the New Twilight Zone.

I'm amending my original statement.

I'll watch Katherine Heigl in anything. As long as I have a mute button available to me.

Off to bed now.

Hooray! Claritin goes over-the-counter next week! Soon we'll be as cool (and allergy-free) as Canadians!

A note to the good folks at Amazon.com

I don't care if John Woo directed it. Windtalkers is not a fucking Hong Kong Action movie. So kindly go to your Hong Kong Action Store (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/464426/104-4214811-2788744) and remove that piece of shite from the "bestsellers" list. Come to think of it, remove most of the other bestsellers -- Blade II (why?), Tomorrow Never Dies (as if Michelle Yeoh is given the chance to show her chops), and Cannonball Run (not exactly Jackie Chan's proudest moment) all belong elsewhere. That's not to say I don't appreciate the existence of the Hong Kong Action store (or most of the others at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/specialty-stores.html/ref=sd_ss_sm/104-4214811-2788744 -- although the very idea of Left Behind and Anne Rice stores makes me want to gag), but, in the immortal words of Wham, if you're gonna do it, do it right.
