No Thanks, HBO

Time Warner has been running free HBO since Christmas. How many times can we watch The Golden Compass? And the one night they didn’t, Chris Rock gave his not ready for the family comedy show. Then there’s the whacked out hit job on Mormon cults called Big Love. They top it off with boxing. We hate Entourage and The Wire is gone. They’re gonna have to try harder to get our ten bucks each month.

    the best time warner feature is the sneakyass record…i have recorded To Kill a Mockingbird, Moby Dick , the Wizard of Oz, Last of the Mohicans, The Aristocrats, Mt Left Foot and a bazillion other good films, games and Discovery shit I am simply too tired to watch at the time. +..you can FF commercials and rely on your common sense on how to spend your $$$$.00(bushdollars)..also HBO on demand allows you to retrieve some films where they effedup and put some good shit on by accident. like Pan’s Labyrinth and Princess Bride, greatest movie of all time. When we babysit our nieces, they have to watch that feelgood, exploitive shit or STFU and wash my truck and pull weeds. Yeah..i’m uncle meany.

    I gotta get a DVR.

    Princess Bride, gmoat? LOL.

  • Beelzebubba

    gmoat..yes..it exploits every theme noble to humans in literature: true love, revenge, life after death, redemption and altruism. “as you wish” becomes the greatest metaphor in cinematic history since John Huston added the dead Ahab’s entangled, waving arm to Melville’s classic.

    More allusion help.

    I’m sticking with Ben Hur. I’m also holding The Big Country and The Ten Commandments.

    Upon reflection, Potampkin, Guest and Susan Sarandon’s ex-husband make a great cast.

    However, I hold Edward G. Robinson as Dathan.

    you say tomato, i say ‘mater

    Any kid from Stenchville who doesn’t say ‘mater is putting on airs.

    my son called me about an HBO animated program involving a guy named “Tim”…this program tickled my funnybone. For some sick reason, we agree on what’s funny. We were eating at a truckstop when he was 7..twenty years ago. My wife and I didn’t know if he could talk or not yet. He surprised us by saying he saw a bumpersticker coming in that he thought was funny and he thought i would like it too. It said “if you love something, set it free. if it doesn’t come back, hunt it down and kill it”..my wife knew then that she had lost and I won the battle for his mind.

    You are fortunate to have children… and ones who like you. I miss my Dad.

  • Beelzebubba

    the father loves the son unconditionally, the son loves the memory of the father

    Fec: twasn’t luck. My father told me that I “married up” better than any man he ever heard about.

  • Gen. Beauregard Fec

    I also married well. The Wife not so much.
