Redbox it, dude. It will only cost you a buck! You can even reserve and rent it online and pick it up at the machine.

I've never seen one of those, but I hear we have at least one a few towns away.

How big is the town you live in? Watertown does not have Redbox, but Gordonsville in Smith County (a VERY rural town) has it at their McDonalds. Lebanon is where I usually go, and they have 3 different Redbox locations. Get on into Nashville, and there are probably a couple dozen Redbox machines.


Recently watched:

Beowulf (Sux)
The Seeker (Pretty good)

OMB, are you suggesting that that chump lives in TN?

FINALLY got to watch I Am Legend. Great movie, but not the ending I expected.

If you watch the extended version, there is an optional ending that might have been more to what you were expecting.

Nope, I applied to live in TN, but they said that some truck driver with the initials DD was all the chump they could handle, and I need not apply.


We did finally see "Enchanted" on Easter (a friend of ours bought it and invited us over). Not as good as I was lead to believe, but I don't feel like I totally wasted my time. My kids seemed to enjoy it.

I looked up Redbox on the internet, and it looks like the closest one is about 8 miles from my house (in a direction I seldom drive).

Only 8? My two closest Redbox machines are 12 miles away!

Last night, we watched:



The Wager (starring Randy Travis)

I guess I have some catching up to do(on updates).

Since I only get to watch tv maybe once a week(due to work) I don't watch much. Lately I have been watching some old episodes on either Netflix or Hulu.com. Hulu has alot of my childhood favs as well as some new ones.

Lately I have been watching Airwolf, Miami Vice, Firefly,The Outer Limits, The A- Team, Knight Rider(original), Battlestar Galactica(old and new),McHale's Navy, The Adam's family,and even some of Fantasy Island(original).


As far as movies,here goes... U23D, Zodiac,The Nest, Beowulf,Cujo, The 10 Commandments(animated,2007), Dragon Wars,War, Mad Max,The Holiday, Night Watch,Day Watch, The Rocket, Resident Evil:Extinction, Amazing Grace, The Pursuit of Happiness, The Reaping, Empire of the sun, Ben-Hur and a few others.


I just rented and will be watching tonight I am Legend.

edit*****

I just saw I am Legend yesterday,loved it. It was a pleasant surprise.

It is well written and not your typical zombie type movie.



Plus,there were extra surprises.



1-there is not a single reference to using the Lord's name in vain in any manner as well as no cussing in it.



2-At one point when his family is leaving,they stop for a moment to say
a prayer for him. How often do you see a prayer in a movie
nowadays...you don't.
At least not in a secular film.


3-Later a character says God led her there. She says God told here she needed to be there.



Wow,how cool is that. I will deffinately be getting this.

Did they win?

I don't want to talk about it. Let's just say that I am glad that at each level of the playoffs, the teams play the best out of 7 games. So, there are still 6 more to go--hopefully.

Nothing.


Honestly......i'm not kidding.


I've more or less sworn off TV. The wife is a *TV aholic* so it is always on when she and my kids still at home are around, but I don't really 'watch' anything.......I usually just look at the show for a few minutes.......then move on.

I prefer a good movie to television anyway.


After I woke up at 6:30 AM, I just felt terrible. Woke up sick during the night. But, I pulled out the "new" movie I bought last night. OK, the DVD was new, but the film came out in 1984.

THE LAST STARFIGHTER!!!!

I loved that movie. To me, it ranked right up there with the original Star Wars trilogy. The effects, for the time, were even a little better than Star Wars as this was the first film to ever rely fully on digital computer generated special effects. There are no little models of spacecraft in this film. So, in 1984, this looked AMAZING. The effects could be tweeked now and make to be even more so.

I would also love for them to do a sequel. The end of the movie was prime for it. You could make a jump in time and use the original star, and he could be having to train his little brother Alex to be a Starfighter. Hey, I'd watch it.

Also, yesterday:



Redwings Vs. Nashville Predators (Game 2) - End score 4 to 2. Preds now down by 2 games.

Dan In Real Life

Game 4 of the Nashville Preds vs. the Detroit Redwings.

Right now, the Redwings have beaten us 2 games to 1. But, right now with 5 minutes remaining in the 2nd period, we are up 3 to 1. So, hopefully we can tie up this series.

I remember The Last Starfighter. That was quite an enjoyable movie.

I have seen a part of Star Wars - Episode VI -- Return Of Jedi.
It was not so bad as I thought it would be.

Dark Portals: The Chronicles of Vidocq

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
