Indiana Jones - May 22, 2008

One small benefit I have in working from home is that I can sneak out to the cheap, early features of movies that I want to see, and still be back to get work done in the afternoon.  Come May 22, 2008, the girlfriend and I will be sneaking out to see the new Indiana Jones movie.  Enjoy the trailer.

I Am No Miracle Worker. I Am A Janitor.

I guess we are not suppose to care for lawyer movies, and especially those that portray lawyers in a seedy sort of light.  But, it is really all a matter of perspective.  Such movies can also define things in ways we have failed.

Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house “fixer” at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York.

Maybe it is just my mood today, but I like the description that Clooney gives as his role as a lawyer:

There is no play here.  No. Angle.  No Champagne room.  I am no miracle worker.  I am a janitor.  The math on this is simple.  The smaller the mess the  easier it is for me to clean up.

Our clients might very much be hoping for, or praying for, a miracle worker, but ultimately we cannot pull rabbits out of our hats.  All we can really do is clean up the mess they have created in the best way possible.

Finally A List To Help The Home Office And Solo Lawyer

The Times Online has provided an invaluable resource for Third Wavers.  It is one that you can refer to almost every day.  Really more of a comparison, if you will.  A gage by which to judge your life and your practice.  Of course, I am talking about the top 20 big-screen comic book heroes.  And, we all need heroes who can save the earth and life as we know it.  There has to be someone on whom we can call to battle Big Law.  Number one is Spider-Man with over $2 billion at the box office.  Maybe I am dating myself a little, but I do not understand why Superman is at number 13 on the list and The Incredible are at number 2.  Do not get me wrong, I want to be Incredible, but I would rather be Superman, sans the paralyzing fall from the horse.  Nobody deserve that.

Are You Destroying The Earth?

As stated by Leonardo DiCaprio in his new film (documentary) The 11th Hour, "The evidence is now clear, industrial civilization has caused irreparable damage."
