i've gotten cable. and it's great. and it's awful. i watch a ton of great stuff now. but i also can't turn off the TV. ever.
a great series on AMC right now is Movies that Shook the World. Friday night I watched it about 2001: A Space Odyssey.
"Kubrick's vision resonated with more than just drug-addled hippies. It predated NASA's Apollo projects by years and offered a captivated public the earliest and most realistic vision of what the earth might look like from space offering a fantastic blueprint for the fledgling agency's mission. The film also predicted the penetration of computers into everyday lives and offered an enduring testament to mankind's desire to explore the unknown."
