Watched The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) on DVD today. I don't understand why Captain Jonathan Archer wasn't involved in the meeting. Must be some problem with the space-time continuum, or a quantum singularity, or a trans-warp conduit, or a transporter malfunction, or any of the myriad of things we take so much for granted here in 2003.

Off Topic: I travelled to Bali about 9 years ago, and noticed that Doritos (Frito Lay) are called "Happy Tos" there (next to the Chee-tos on the snack food aisle). Doritos/Fritos/Cheetos/Happytos .. hmm. I asked a friend (who speaks Malay); she has NO idea what (if anything) is wrong with the word "Doritos" in the native (Indonesian) language .. other than "Dori" sounds like a woman's name.
