They shut the close one down. Besides, I've had good luck with
Netflix and it's cheap.

Without a BB close by, the advantage isn't so great. With the BB, it's a
darn good deal.

I was working on something late last night and had DVR'd the movie Dune,

I thought the movie was absolutely fascinating. Not as "high tech" as
the Lucas or Spielberg sci-fi, but with some interesting effects, an
actual plot, a beginning, a middle, and an end, and with some really
heavy ideas.

Yet, I recall the movie was panned when it came out.

Another more recent sci-fi I like a lot is The Chronicles of Riddick,
for much the same reasons. Yet this one, too, did not get strong
reviews, if memory serves.

Anyone else like these two flicks?

Riddick was ok. Just put Dune on my Netflix list.

Blockbuster just went up to $5. You can stream 12000 movies free from
netflix if you have a membership. I just started playing with it and found
acceptable video ported from the laptop to a projector. Haven't tried it
with a TV yet. The video is noticeably fuzzy but still watchable.

We were talking mail plans. I never rent a movie from the store.

Ask them about Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa. The BEST place on the
planet to see good bands. Outdoor stage, with three outdoor bars, etc.

Dune suxed. If you had not read the book, you would be confused as to what
was happening. Some great effects, but . . .

The Last Starfighter, which was on TV a few weeks ago. Decent story and one
of the first CG effects movies. Done very well.
