go to http://www.netflix.com/Wii and request a free disc.

You need to set up the Wii for internet before it will work. That's explained in the Wii manual somewhere, I think it's something free that you "buy" in the Wii store channel. I don't really remember. I had done that a month or two ago.

Somehow I missed Stranger Than Fiction when it came out a couple years ago. Saw it last night. I liked it. Unusual story.

Oh i loved that film! Emma T was the perfect choice for the narrator/writer character.

*laughs* Oh, Dave, you are awful! ... But I like it :P (one for the Brits there)

We just watched Pirate Radio.

The movie was awesome. Esp if you like classic rock. Great story line.

Just don't.

Watch the original. Glory in it's wondrousness as a caper movie, leave the remake in the video store.

Just saw the 1974 original on HBO. Whoa Nilly, what a lot of cursing! I mean much more than you find in our movies today I think. I was cracking up. I loved Matthau in it and of course his trademark look at the end. What a perfect snapshot for the 70's...the styles, the cars, the humor.

I could just imagine you saying that and gotten a chuckle out of me. Nice personality.

"The man from earth"...........good movie.

Pete Zicato · 04-08-2010, 09:58 AM

Borrowed the fourth season of Babylon 5 from the library. I watched most of the first episode. Meh.

Happy Monkey · 04-08-2010, 10:17 AM

Are you starting with season four?

Pete Zicato · 04-08-2010, 11:16 AM

Yeah. It's what they had on hand. I thought I'd see if I liked it. If I did I'd go back and start at season 1. It just seemed like a soap opera in space, to me.

Happy Monkey · 04-08-2010, 01:07 PM

A soap opera is neverending; B5 is more like a novel, with a beginning, middle and end. Watching it out of order is like starting halfawy through a book. Looking at the episode guide, I'm not sure what I would have thought coming into season four cold.

Unfortunately, the first season is pretty choppy, so there's a whole cottage industry of recommending which season one episodes to skip... But I like them all.

Not all aspects of all episodes, but even the worst of the A-stories in an episode is usually accompanied by a decent B-story.

And the Londo/G'Kar story is one of the most powerful I've seen on television.

Finally got around to streaming Food, Inc. off Netflix last night. It's as good as we'd been told it was. Depressing, but also hopeful at the end.

When the fat family admitted that the father's diabeetus medication cost over $200 a month, and she actually shrugged, "We could spend the money on the medicine to make him healthy, or the vegetables to make him healthy. Which should we do, you know?" I almost screamed at the television.

History Channel's War of 1812. For history class...

(if they bought the vegatables they'd have to spend more on cheese sauce...)
