A wickedly funny thriller that takes moviegoers on a wild ride brimming with larceny, lust and lethal behavior. In icebound Wichita, Kansas, it's Christmas Eve, and this year Charlie Arglist (John Cusack) just might have something to celebrate. Charlie, an attorney for the sleazy businesses of Wichita, and his unsavory associate, the steely Vic Cavanaugh (Billy Bob Thornton) have just successfully embezzled $2 million from Kansas City boss Bill Guerrard (Randy Quaid). But the real prize for Charlie is the stunning Renata (Connie Nielsen), who runs the Sweet Cage strip club. Charlie hopes to slip out of town with Renata. But as daylight fades and an ice storm whirls, everyone from Charlie's drinking buddy Pete Van Heuten (Oliver Platt) to the local police begins to wonder just what exactly is in Charlie's Christmas stocking - and the 12 hours of Christmas Eve are filled with surprises. Directed by Harold Ramis.
This is a ambient tune... No beats! Think of floating in space but dreaming of home and Earth and gravity.... This video was made using Moray, Povray, Terragen, Swish, Magix Video Deluxe, and Ulead GIF Animator. It took three months to complete. I don't think I'll be trying another one like this without automated animation software. I made each image separately. It took forever. Anyway, the song is available here at CNET in the music section under "Orphic Endeavors" and if you like this video please check out my other videos here and then check out my website at orphicendeavors.com for more music, videos and other stuff. Thanks for watching and listening. -Bonnie
Francis DiPietro: "Drink the Summer Sky"
A soft and reflective song that can sometimes change your mood, like a good dose of valerian root. Images evoke memories in a fine, kaleidoscopic mist. Thoughtful vocals and a simple tune allow the listener to paint additional pictures, and hopefully find something personal and meaningful within.

BOL 1072: Mustache-twirling jerks at AT&T
As AT&T tries to accuse Google of violating Net neutrality, Molly wonders if the company really just wants to be seen as a villain. Also, while you should never call anything unhackable, the Netbooks being given to students in Australia are pretty tight. Physical-layer BIOS protection is unusual in an educational situation like that. And we also get a little frustrated with people who don't listen. So please. Listen. Thanks.
