I think it's actually for the remake of "The Omen".

Not that I mean to split hairs or anything.

Yup, it's The Omen. We've got the trailers for it running at my theater.

Speaking of time... I've always been annoyed by how easy and convenient it is to read a watch. Analog watches have great big arrows pointing directly at simple numbers, while digital clocks have a simple-to-read hours:minutes:seconds format. What I really want is a watch that's hard to read and only gives me the time in five-minute intervals.

That watch is messed up. Although there's apparently red LED's that light up to tell you the remaining minute-accuracy.

Yeah, just about as messed up as clocks that show the time in binary, or the Alien Clock.

I always think it's funny when people refer to light years as units of time.

Or maybe that alien clock is designed for far-flung space travel.

Nah, they probably just used "light years" wrong.

Yah, they've been using it wrong for parsecs now.

I have an analog watch with no numbers. Just the hands, and dots at the 5, 10 15, so on. The way most analog fossil watches are. Anyways, I was at someone house, and a girl looks at my watch and asks me, how can you tell the time with no numbers. There is a sad part to this story. The sad part is. This girl was 17.

Don't worry, Dave. Girls like that usually find someone to start up their baby factory early on.

Which breeds more special people... hmm.

On second thought, worry.
