Here is something for you to think over.
Al Pacino has 42 movies listed in his filmography at IMDB. These include filmed, filming, announced, pre- and post-production. Robert De Niro has 70. Sean Connery has 78. Anthony Hopkins has 98.
I’m sure you can easily remember a movie or two with any one of these guys.
And you probably have never heard of Ron Jeremy. And even his face looks very unfamiliar to you. Nevermind the fact that his filmography lists 918 movies. In most of these he played had one of the main roles.
Who is he you’re wondering? Well, he is number one American porn star. Or so they say…

While reading up about Japanese samurai I came across the concept of ronin, that lead me to a movie “Ronin“. It had a good rating and a respectable cast, so I decided to watch it.

I left my car in the garage yesterday for repairs. The mechanic wasn’t there to give me the estimations, so I had to call back. I didn’t catch him on the phone yesterday though. Today he told me that everything is going fine. The car should be ready by Friday. The guy from insurance came and saw the car in details and agreed to pay in full.
While I’m glad that I am getting it all so easy, I miss my car a lot. Not having it for two more days make me sad. On the good side though, I’ll have it as good as new.
