  1. Best wishes to all here for the Holiday season.
  2. Unfortunately that makes too much sense. Sort of like shouldn't we be drilling 70 miles off Florida's coast, instead of Cuba (China)?
  3. Really sweet ... and a big crowd pleaser too.
  4. I agree. It should have been a no-brainer.
  5. Bullying is so wrong. Did anyone see the recent Extreme Makeover Home Edition where they built a new home for a family who lost their 11 year old son/brother to suicide when he hanged himself in the staircase of their dilapidated house? The family started an organization to help stop bullying. It was very moving.
  6. I've been wondering the same thing. I know on some cable services you can watch old episodes...but I hate the cable companies. I keep hoping I'll find out which online service is the best for things like this (Hulu, etc). I dropped Netflix streaming when they split the service and doubled the price.
  7. The only two I saw on that list was Cowboys & Aliens and Green Lantern. Not among the best movies of the year but I don't regret seeing them.
  8. Funny
  9. Haven't seen J. Edgar yet, but read that the Lover is played by Armie Hammer grandson of Billionaire Industrialist Armand Hammer.
  10. I'll bet he's a screamer!
  11. What's this Humphries guy look like?
  12. I'd welcome any post you wish to make.
  13. I didn't know you were Greatness. Also, I never heard of any rumors on Daddy's, but I haven't been active there in a long time. I hope you here from the person who sent the email.

    Movie Mondays

    I saw 50/50 today. It's already been moved to one of the smallest auditorium in our 24 screen Multi-Plex and there were only a small handfull of people at the showing. I guess Cancer is not a big selling movie theme. I liked it, but I've always liked Joseph Gordon Levitt all the way back to his 3rd Rock from The Sun days. Seth Rogen was solid and his interaction with the girlfriend was really funny. It was really touching late in the movie where Joseph finds the book on Cancer dog eared and heavily underlined at his best friends(Rogen)house.
  15. The "keep me logged in for two weeks" has never worked for me either.

    Thanks for the review of Panic. Looks interesting. Just added it to my Netflix queue and moved it to the top. Great cast.

    Movie: 50/50

    Wow...Great review! You could do this for a living. I hope to see this movie soon.

    Movie Mondays

    Saw Drive starring Ryan Gosling. Fun movie with elements of the classic Bullitt with Steve McQueen about a stunt driver who rents out his driving services to various criminals who need a getaway driver for heists. Fast paced action movie with a great surprise performance by Albert Brooks.
  19. Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Morse was great as portrayed by John Thaw. I remember Inspector Lewis fondly from that series and have also been enjoying the latest incarnation on Masterpiece Mystery.
  20. If that's true, then I would have thought they would have retained the Netflix name for the DVD business and created a new name for the streaming business. It seems unlikely that Amazon would want to change the name of their streaming business. Although the Netflix name has great (but falling) value if Amazon wanted to operate it as a stand alone business.

  22. This is destined to become one of Harvard Business Schools Case Studies of how to damage a growing business. Netflix had the corner of this market and the combination of streaming and delivery was a plus to customers. I think that Netflix could have passed on an across the board $2 a month price increase coupled with an explanation of its increasing streaming costs and contenacquisitionon costs followed by another $2 a month per year over the next few years. Instead they had a high number of cancellations and many who choose 1 service which dropped revenue $2 per month from $9.99 to $7.99 in the case of those receiving 1 at a time DVD's.
  23. Good line. But in the case of Congress shouldn't it be Farce instead of Force.

    Buying A Bed

    Mcroskey Mattress in San Francisco. They can ship all over the world. http://www.mcroskey.com/
  25. It was a breeze (San Francisco). Asked if I needed to take my belt off as usual and TSA said does it usually set off detector, I said no so he said leave it on. Didn't inspect my CPAP machine as usual.
