I have several TV's...including a '60 inch HDTV model that allows me to
watch movies in a much better environment than a theater...I can pee, pause,
smoke, drimk...hell, it's wonderful. 2 of them are equipped with PVR's, so
I'm not chained to the damn thing every day.

Bruckheimer just says 'yes', or 'no', and hires the best writers, editors,
cameramen, lighting technicians, sound techs, and actors in the business.
He's a producer...that means he's responsibe for the money, and the team
effort that makes a project either succeed...or fail. The scripts are
intelligent, the plots better than most movies, the look is astounding in
HDTV, almost 3-D like, and have inspired other, like-minded, high quality
television.
Your loss...

Only those with low self-esteem would EVER think that anyone was 'superior'
to anyone. No one is...and the ones that think they are...well...are
delusional...or French.
