Bonnie,

I think some of the newer phones that are out today have features like that… Just head to your local cell phone service provider store and ask about phones with the features that attracted you.

My Consumer Advice: (I do consumer research) is to gather your information from the sales person, but DON’T buy upfront. Once you have info, get online and research what folks have to say about the different phones and services available. The last thing you want to do is get hooked up with a fluke of a lemon or paying for services you don’t need because you fell victim to a sales pitch. I like Consumer Reports for their reviews, but that’s just me. They’ve served me well for the last 10 years.

Also, I edited your (http) entry on the comment. I don’t think you want your email address readily available for all to see and or snag.

Bruce

I want Edward / Henry’s cell phone!! Does anyone know who makes it?

Thanks

By the way, I sure hope FOX or HBO or Showtime pick this show up! It’s so creative, action-packed and real live. “My Own Worst Enemy” has got it all!

[...] the debut of a latecomer to the Fall 2008 TV season: My Own Worst Enemy. Back in August we gave you the full rundown on the new series, which stars Christian Slater. Basically it seems to be like a TV version of the Arnold Schwarzenneger movie True Lies, but [...]

It’s pretty clearly a Jekyll and Hyde update, and with every new detail I see, it’s looking more and more like this production is using an earlier update that the Brits did, JEKYLL, as a model for this one, right down to the idea of having the alter-egos leave video messages for each other, and the involvement of a big corporation that seems to have created the situation in the first place. It’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out, as the British update was outstanding.

790: yes.

The Big Dentist: You only exist when you think you exist. The moment you focus on something other than yourself, you become that which you focus on.

See, now… I am gone.. *poof*

Is it just me or is this a subversive tv show that subconsiously is prepping society for implants.

Looks kinda interesting.

A Scanner Darkly was the one that occurred to me as a comparison as well. And if Gemini Division is some kind of Blade Runner ripoff, that Philip K Dick’s getting around, isn’t he? Christian Slater’s one of those I could watch in just about anything, I must admit.

In fact, in true PKD style, the Gemini Division thread appears to have vanished. Did I dream it? Was it ever actually there? Do I really exist, or am I a result of Christian Slater casting the I Ching?

Wait a minute! I knew the answer! Gary stole my answer!

(No door prize)

Well forget it then. P

I like Christian Slater. Even the movies he’s been in that bombed I felt he did a good job. I did get the Total Recall reference, and on that – Was he or wasn’t he a spy? Was he still in that chair or was he an agent for real? The package said he would save the planet and get the girl, which is exactly what happened. I say he’s labotomized.

Ding Ding Ding… We Have A Winner!!! Sorry Gary, no door prize, unless you’d like a NASCAR diecast… (I’ve got over a 1,000 of them).

Even though Henry’s wife isn’t a double minded agent, (That I know of) there is another agent in the cast, if you’ve noticed the dual role listing of Mike O’Malley.

Since the Olympics are getting great rating Slaters show is getting two solid weeks of advertising.
It might increase audience awareness come premiere week.

I agree, I like Slater…especially when he’s not doped up on illegal substances, lol.

I really liked him in that Broken arrow flick with John Travolta.

I’m definately gonna give this series a shot, along with Fringe and Dollhouse, which I’m REALLY excited for.
