I think 68 K means thousand not million. Mil means million.

I saw Up in 3D with my kids yesterday. It was absolutely fantastic.I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

The 3-D effects still seem gimmicky to me, about half-way through the movie, I took my 3-D glasses off and just watched it like that.

I loved the first twenty minutes….the story of Carl & Ellie was beautiful.

I loved “Partly Cloudy” and I’m downloading it right now. Thanks for the tip, Alan!
