Mike,

I think that you may have Jeremy's minion confused. He is lacking the "of Doom" modifer that allows him to take hostages and be slain by the protagonist. This minion may be the one that tells Jeremy there are intruders on the radar, but the minion can do nothing about it.

ALso, I have seen the Harry Potter flick and liked it a whole lot. Then again, I mostly would have liked anything they did to the movie. I like Sirius. He is my favorite character in the books. It is going to be a challenge to get movies based on books four and five with their weightiness. But, we shall see.

In other news, Jason Stauch has taken a role as navigator for the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn and Titan. So, this means that he is a minion (not "of Doom") in the colonization of Titan. See more about the space mission here: http://www.nasa.gov/cassini

My dog is sick. :(
