WP 2.3.1 Plugin Issues

I’ve discovered that there seem to be some issue with the plugin wordTube clashing with Subscribe to Comments on WordPress 2.3.1. Took some switching plugins off and on to figure out which one’s were causing the problems, but those seem to be the guys.

Finally, Some Movies I Want To See

I haven’t really seen many good movies coming out of America lately. I really don’t like the pointless action blockbusters that have come to represent what Hollywood is about in recent years.
