reelgeezers and andrew olmsted

Check out Reelgeezers on YouTube.   They are 80-something industry insiders who offer reviews of current movies.  What a pleasure it is to enjoy the chemistry between the two of them while they offer their insights.  

On another note, I teared up when I read the final entry on Andrew Olmsted's blog.  His story hit all the major news forums todays.  He's the military blogger whose friend posted his final words after his death.   

I know that much has been written downplaying the web's ability to bring people together, but it never ceases to amaze me how many lives unfold on my computer screen.  No wonder people feel they have to blog.  It's a way of weaving a story using all the narrative threads available now.
