I haven’t posted in a while... but I’ve got a couple of topics I’ve had in my head.

I guess I can start by saying that Stephanie and I have decided to do NetFlix.  We’re just gonna do it for the summer while all the tv shows we would otherwise watch are in reruns.  In case you’re not familiar with NetFlix, I’ll debrief you.  We pay $14.99/month.  We go on their website and add movies that we’d like to watch to our list.  They send us the first two movies on the list.  When we’re done watching them, we send the movies back.  Postage is paid for both ways by Netflix.  Once they get a movie back from us, they send out the next one on our list.  And it only takes a day to get a movie since one of their distribution centers is in Greensboro.  It’s a nice way for us to get movies that we have been wanting to see for a while.

On a related story, we watched Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow.  We were not particularly fond of the film.  It was super-long and s l o o o w w w.  It was kind of impressive because everything was shot in front of blue screens.  The only thing in any of the scenes that was not generated on a computer was the actors themselves.  But again, it’s hard to act in front of a blue screen and it shows.  The characters seem so monotonous and boring.  And of course Angelina Jolie is there to make the movie worse.  While her part was small and she may have done the best acting of anyone in that particular movie... she just annoys me.  A lot.
