'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I ran into the same thing, megan, when I was researching utilities when moving. Even when I put in a good address of a potential place, I'd get "this address already has service" and no information. SO not user friendly.
The place I ended up renting has basic cable included and I pay $24/month for high-speed internet. The place has a dedicated Comcast guy, so if I need anything I just call Jeff. Kinda makes it easier.

Sweet!
megan, I'm paying $62/month pre-taxes/surcharges for high-speed internet and super-basic cable (no Comedy Central, CNN, A&E - but I do get Discovery and the 5 "networks").
Thanks guys! Seems cheaper than NYC anyway. Now I just need a TV!
Weren't we geeking out over WarGames here recently? Well, you can geek out in the theater on July 24th, because it's being shown in 300 theaters across the country that day.
Tickets are $10 for all of the Chicago-area “WarGames” screenings, which begin at 7:30 p.m.. The timing, no surprise, is meant to coincide with the movie’s 25 anniversary DVD release on July 29, and the program will feature taped interviews and other “extras,” including a preview of a new straight-to-DVD “WarGames” sequel.
I saw that in one of our local theaters here. Actually CJ pointed it out to me and HE wants to go. YAY!
Um, I saw that in the theatre last week and my response was "Huh? Didn't think the movie was that popular to deserve an anniversary release...."
The only way to win is to not play.
I just finished reading "Save The Cat," a book about screenwriting. It's pretty good, makes some good points. The author codified Robert McKee's rules for magic a little more: Double Mumbo Jumbo. Only one magic thing per movie. Like, you shouldn't have magical Mayan artifacts AND aliens.

Things probably would have gone smoother if that had been followed.
So in all of our animation talk last week, it occured that i had never seen Cars from the beginning. I always came in shortly after he destroys the road in Radiator Springs.
OMG the beginning is HIGH-larious! Click and Clack! And so, going through the credits, I am cracking up at all of the real race car drivers that lent their voices! Fuh-Knee!! That stuff alone boosted it up there.
KA-CHOW!
