So, it's just me and the dog, today. Figured I'd hit the recliner and watch a movie. I settled on 'The Martian.'

Excellent flick, but at Comcast's price of $15.99 - I have tented my last movie. Actually, I think I 'purchased' it, but I believe it was my only option. Who watches movies, twice - that aren't porn?

Cheers. - Frank

    Frank;

    Yes, millions were spent on special effects, actors gave up 6 months of their lives, to make this picture....and you get the entire thing, for the cost of 6.5 hotdogs.

    And you even get to criticize the movie for free.

    I never watch porn. With my luck, the husband will come home, and it will turn into a murder mystery. Or the characters will be named "Claude and Beverly", (My mom and dad's names), and I'll throw up.

    What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

      Your another one of those quirky actors who never watches their own movies? It can get pretty boring. You just end up fast-forwarding to the next position.

        I have one position. It's the "Beached Whale" position. The other actors and crew have to work around me. I learned the technique from Marlon Brando.

            Mark; I just wanted to take a moment and say that I hope you and your family have all the happiness this Christmas...and all of Kurt's happiness too.

            I literally want to transfer any happiness Kurt feels tomorrow...to you and your family.

            And any happiness Kurt ever feels, should instantly be donated to a needy family.

            In fact, any resistance he has to disease should also be donated...or confiscated, and given away.

            If I had the time, I would have made every Christmas card I sent, say exactly that.

            And every person that gets it would think, "Thanks for the cheap card, but who's this Kurt guy? He sounds like a jerk"

            Yes he does.


            (I'm kidding. I really wish Kurt all the best. And I really do like him.....but Santa? Santa Clause hates Kurt. FYI)

              I wish you the same to you and yours. I expect you already have the henge setup in your yard to celebrate the Pagan festival of Saturnalia and all it's debauchery.

              "Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the weeklong celebration."

                I almost went to see the Martian again, but with the Bond Movie and all, didn't get back to it!

                Hope that you have something Xmassy for lunch, and have a good one!

                Porn, what is that?

                Circumference of doom, oh, yes, now l remember!

                  Even though I bought it, I'd never watch it again, Nothing against the movie, it's just that life is too short for reruns.
                  Hope that you have something Xmassy for lunch, and have a good one!
                  No lunch, today. Early breakfast of eggs over medium, Taylor pork roll, new potatoes and Thomas's English muffins with those nooks and crannies loaded with butter with a hot cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.



                  Just enough so I can be assured of being famished at dinner time. lol

                  Enjoy your day.

                  Cheers. - Frank

                    Never! Ok, l just finished watching Die Hard again, Xmas day, etc.

                    I was surprised to see that one person actually got out alive!

                    It was the one John Maclaine, hit with the Bonds, at the vault at the end of the movie!

                    Surprised that he didn't show up in later movies, so there is something to say about reruns?

                    Besides the point that the usual BS Xmas stuff is on, but at least National Lampoons Xmas movie wasn't on again?

                    I know that cat eating the power cable is funny, but seen it too many times!

                    You too!

                    Looks like you had the hunts breakfast?

                    If you are going to take a pot shot at Santa, make sure to post it on Youtube, that will scar a few million children l am sure?

                      And your life is different by knowing this, how? :-)

                      I doubt I'll turn the TV on, today. Just another day at work. I am one, sorry heathen. lol

                        Ok, Groundhog Day being the exception!

                        Well, the heavens opened up, which led to a grounbreaking revelation, in,.....hmmm, beats me?

                        Satisfied that l can't get any more revelations, by watching it again, perhaps?

                        But in all honesty, 99% of that l watch is reruns. Tv does have new stuff, but it is low grade BS for the most part!

                        The 60's and 70's where the golden years for quality Sci Fi tv series and movies. Well, at least for me?

                        I doubt I'll turn the TV on, today. Just another day at work. I am one, sorry heathen. lol

                        Hmmm, you should at least go and grab a Xmas pudding, a mans' puddling is sacred, (where have l heard that before)?

                        A pudding with conyack, hmm, nice!

      You're giving this way too much thought. :-)
