    Has Charlie Met His Match?

    HA! Love it. Since this this doesn't have anything to do with Dish I am moving it to the Chit-Chat forum

    Year After Reviews: "Her" Not what I expected.

    "Her" is definitely not what I expected. The movie is an engrossing study on the evolution of interpersonal relationships. It creates a rather claustrophobic view of the world even though it takes place among millions of people in a large city. The way the sound was edited and the video...

    Pawn Stars Gets Scroogled

    I really dislike what they've done to Pawn Stars this season. It used to be that the "interpersonal" "spontaneous" stuff that happened between the four was a very minor part of the show. It used to be nothing more than a line or two between appraisals. Now it's half the freaking show and I...

    RIP Eydie Gormé

    To me Eydie Gormé is synonymous with Christmas. To this day Christmas means listening to "Blanca Navidad" (White Christmas) as sung by Eydie Gormé and Trio Los Panchos from the 1966 recording in "Navidad Means Christmas" (still available but now it's named for its title song "Blanca Navidad")...

    The White House has Fallen Down on Olympus

    I want to reiterate that I found both these movies fun action movies. Bubble gum for the brain, as it were. A little aside about the see and say attitude in DC security: A few years ago I went to Washington on a whim. I was walking around the Mall and Capitol Building by myself just taking...

    The White House has Fallen Down on Olympus

    White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen are both worthy action fantasies that have their roots buried deep in the spirit of the grand-daddy of the genre, Die Hard; John McClain Goes to Washington as it were. Having said that, keep in mind the word fantasy. There were enough eye-rolling bad...

    Unsatisfying "Europa Report"

    Just got done watching "Europa Report". This is a new movie about a mission to Jupiter's moon, Europa. It is told in the same style as "Chronicle" and "Apollo 18". Essentially, the story is conveyed through the on-board video system inside and outside the ship along with some inserted...

    Year-After Review: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Disappointment

    I found "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" waiting for me in my mailbox tofay. I popped the movie in and just finished watching it. My initial reaction was, an unexpected disappointment. Tobe fair, "The Hobbit" was published before "Lord of the Rings" as a kid's novel with a fairly trite...

    What are your local schools doing now for security after Connecticut Shooting?

    It was a different time due to the lack of a 24 hour news cycle, not due to actual crimes, child abductions and other things we hear about more often now because we are tuned in to things happening everywhere around the world now and assign it to something happening where we are. Then we...

    "Magical Mystery Tour" no longer a mystery to me

    On this 45th anniversary of the Magical Mystery Tour film debut on BBC 1 (in Black & White no less) I have to admit, it is the first time I'd seen this film from beginning to end. Thanks to PBS, I was able to watch it fully restored HD video (4x3) with a remastered sound track that could only...

    Using "Then" and "Than" correctly

    I stopped myself from commenting about "could care less". Just a few short days before your original post there was this little exchange in the USA series "Fairly Legal" “What? I could care less if she’s sleeping with him.” — Ben “Couldn’t care less. Could care less indicates you care enough to...

    You never want to be the "But First" story. (HS Diploma Denied)

    As a dyslexic myself, I do not judge people's intelligence and knowledge of a subject by how well they can spot-read something aloud. Anthony is a smart cookie.

    You never want to be the "But First" story. (HS Diploma Denied)

    This is not a new policy and it has been "challenged" in court and stood up locally. The students (if over 18) DID sign the contract (if under 18 signed a letter of understanding with parent's/legal guardian's countersignature) to be allowed to "walk". Otherwise they would not be allowed to...

    Using "Then" and "Than" correctly

    I am the world's worst grammarian. But certain words when misused drive me bonkers! The then/than issue actually throws me off! I am dyslexic so when I see then where than should be I think I misread the sentence and go back and reread it to understand what the writer was trying to...

    You never want to be the "But First" story. (HS Diploma Denied)
