Yes, I would stop the Gulf War just for the continuation of a TV show.

I'd have stopped that war for many more reasons, like...maybe we would not have entered an unnecessary war in Iraq...

Not to get too political, some of y'all might want to check out the DVD "The Most Dangerous Man in America," which is about the Vietnam war but is relevant, in many ways, to the Gulf War and the Iraq war.

That said, at least we have DS as a constant in our lives with all the turmoil going on around us.

David, you have my sympathies for the way you and your partner's situation turned out, but I offer CONGRATS! to you for moving forward and sharing your story, since it can only help so many others.  As you well know, sometimes we as individuals must make sacrifices that might serve the greater good.  Brian

Happy Birthday, Magnus...almost missed it, I guess, but "better late than never."  (Trite comments never die, do they!)

The review in VARIETY actually mentions DS:

Some time ago, I saw one of Grayson's OLTL shows--I think the introduction of her character--and I think is was on YouTube, but it seems to have disappeared from that site.  Someone does have some video from those days, and maybe they'll post the clips again someday soon.

  My bad...this is the first time I've ever seen these flying thingies.  Guess I'm not checking in often enuf.  

I bought the NODS Amazon download earlier this year, and when I went to watch it tonight, I was offered a 48-hour HD download of the flick.  So for 4 bucks, I said, why not...The titles in particular are quite striking (as opposed to the blurred titles of the standard def version),  but I am troubled by a few omissions:  when near the beginning we see Quentin and Tracy getting out of the card from the windows, the familiar vibraphone music cue was completely missing.  Also, right after Tracy claims the gallery is her favotire room, Carlotta (off screen) has the start of a line that is not completed before the scene ends.  Then , just before the kitchen scene with Gerard and Carlotta, we see TRacy adn Quentin in bed (after Quentin's first dream) and there is a music cue (low timp and flute) that I've never heard in this movie.  I'm starting to wonder "what's up here."  This must be yet another different sound mix, right?  Anybody else have any thoughts?  (FYI--the picture is gorgeous!)

While we await a HODS DVD release, I decided to check out the Amazon.com video-on-demand version of HODS, which I purchased instead of rented, for viewing via my blu-ray player on my HD TV. The presentation fills the screen in 1.85:1 aspect ratio, which is a zoomed and cropped picture of the full-frame presentation available on VHS and as shown on TCM (and other TV stations over the years).  I must assume, then, that when we finally see HODS on DVD, this will be the presentation, rather than what we see on the VHS and TV versions PLUS additional picture information on the side.  Actually, in this presentation on my HD set, HODS looks just fine, the framing is quite good, and so I think this is what we'll get.
