    The Unit: Season 4

    Very tense and unbelievably action-packed for a one hour show. I can't wait to see how this resolves itself out (both the terror attacks on the U.S. and the Col. Ryan/Tiffy/Mack storyline). Now to the thing that bothers me most about the episode...the inclusion of Redcap as a member of the...

    Worst commercial in recent memory.

    There is a new commercial for Delsym (sp?) cough syrup that is agonizing to watch. It's the one with the guy on the elevator at work who sneezes into his hand. The hand he sneezed into has a horribly drawn mouth and eyes on it and speaks to him about the product. Cheap, tacky, and amateurish are...

    Incredibly bad experience with Directv that I must relate to all of you...

    Mike, I'm glad to hear that you have had nothing but good experiences with Directv. I just couldn't take a chance on a company that made such a bad first impression. As the manager I spoke to said, "I know that there is no way that I can undo the first experience that you had." While he...

    Incredibly bad experience with Directv that I must relate to all of you...

    I hope this is in the right section. If not, please move to the appropriate section. I was looking to invest in a DVR with a dual-tuner and more recording time than the Dish Network 501 receiver that I currently have. I decided to check out Directv because I've been told that new customers...

    What's the weirdest food combo you (or someone you know) eat?

    Once, I ordered two Sausage McMuffins from McDs and they threw in some packets of grape jelly. I figured that they must have done that for a reason (certainly not to eat with the hashbrowns, right?) so I put the jelly in the sandwich and found it to be quite good. I'll eat it like that if I...

    24 - Season 5 ongoing thread

    I think it's fairly certain that the real-time format for the show has been changed. VP Gardner speaks to Wayne Palmer in the hallway and when he asks Logan if he had spoken to Wayne, Gardner says that he spoke to him "about a half hour ago." I could swear that only five minutes (ten tops)...

    Online DVD Rentals?

    I recently joined NetFlix and was bothered immediately by one major problem...they ship disks from disk sets out of order! When I put in my order for The Wire and Oz, I made sure that they were in the queue in numerical order. The first disk I received was disk 5 of Season 1. After that, I...

    Deceptive DVD cover on Shrek reissue

    Yeah, I guess I can see how I might have jumped the gun on this one. With the release being so near, I might have had blinders on when looking at the cover.

    Deceptive DVD cover on Shrek reissue

    I went into my local Wal Mart today to pick up some new releases and got Dawn of the Dead and Mulan. Since I was on an impulse shopping trip, I didn't have a list of new releases handy and relied on the presence of new displays to show me which DVDs to pick up. Anyway, to make a long story...

    Movies you liked but everyone else hated

    One movie that my wife and I loved and everyone else seemed to hate was Roberto Benigni's "The Monster." This was a hilarious comedy and no one else seemed to have their funny buttons pushed.

    Renewing BB Reward Zones?

    Phil, About a month or so before the card was to expire, I received a new card in the mail. Perhaps the reason I received a new one is because they changed the design of the card, but I wasn't charged for it any of the two years I've had it.

    Renewing BB Reward Zones?

    I am on my second year of BB Reward Zone. I, too, received a free membership and when renewal time came, I got the second year for free too. Be patient and wait for the card to show up in the mail. I'm sure they're making enough money from people who do pay for it to subsidize customers like us.

    Pierce Brosnan out as Bond? (UPDATE: Daniel Craig confirmed)

    I think that Clive Owen would be a great James Bond. He's capable of playing a gritty, dark Bond and, at the same time, injecting a little humor into the role. For those of you who have not seen his work, you can download all of the BMW movies/commercials at: BMWfilms. My favorite...

    Kraft HULK DVD Internet Offer

    Does the box art look like the Hulk movie or a cartoon of some sort? I'm not sure that it's the Eric Bana version of the show.
