What movies are you looking forward to watching?
S> i just picked up 'sin city' and 'team america: world police' on dvd.but
S> i've got close to a dozen on dvd i haven't seen yet.
I've certainly seen "Sin City" DVDs all over the place, but I haven't
noticed the other. I'll have to check the reviews at imdb.com
sometime.
Other than buying the box sets of a couple older TV series, as they
come out, my DVD purchasing seems to finally be slowing down. There
are only a few older movies that I still want on DVD, and the only new
movie that I'm waiting for is "Serenity" -- which apparently did a
fantastic job of carrying on the story from the "Firefly" TV series.
S> i have several movies taped from scream, action, and drive-in i haven't
S> seen yet...
Some of those networks are from the Digital Cable package, aren't
they? I'll confess that I'm almost getting tempted by regular cable,
now that it's down to $25 a month.
...Right now, the only show that I
really like on broadcast TV is "Grey's Anatomy". Good ensemble cast,
decent writing with even a smidge of character development. (I'll
confess that I found it by accident while checking out "Desperate
Housewives", but now "GA" is the one I make sure I watch.)
S> some of the movies coming up on the movie network: 'the grudge' and other
While I'm a little curious about "Life after Buffy" for SMG, I've
resisted buying "The Grudge" because it looks more like classic horror
genre. The thing I liked about "Buffy" was that the main characters
were not victims, even tho it was a horror show.
S> all before any star wars movie...
Well, the last one is not high on my list. Still, I guess I want
"closure" or something. <wry.grin> Meanwhile, another reason to give
in and get cable is to be able to occasionally "test drive" new movies
when they reach TV/DVD release, along with checking new SF TV series.
I came "that close" to buying the new "BattleStar Galactica" box set,
but then found it had very mixed reviews at imdb.com.
BTW, I recently watched the original theatrical release of the first
"Star Wars" movie, and I still like it much better than the director's
cuts. ...I'll now use restraint and refrain from a long rant about
not being able to buy DVDs of the original theatrical releases of
movies like "Blade Runner".
The problem is when you're reading a few high volume newsgroup,
S> i am, but i no longer spool them. i've only ever spooled them on linux,Figures. ...One more benefit of having a high speed connection.
S> not windows (that i recall)
Are you using FAT partitions?
S> not any longer...Maybe I should be asking whether you're still running Win2k?
TTYL, ...Steve
