Anyhow, I didn't even know there was a TV show there.



Obviously we saw the same film. I think you're just kind of being a dick. But sure... she is as good as being _____________ (whatever you'd like to call it here).

You should watch the show. It's really good.


Is there any chance of it being broadcast on a network?

It airs on Syfy... Not sure if you would qualify that as a network. I don't really know that much about commercial TV since I cut the cord over a decade ago.

Two words.

FireStick.

Kodi.

You'll thank me later.

SyFy is not broadcast - it is paid for on cable or satellite.

Broadcast is what you get with an antenna.

Yeah... I don't even own a TV new enough to get the HD signals and I never got any converter boxes. My parents laughed when they asked me if I wanted a DVD the other day and I said I don't even have a DVD player. They asked me if I was living in the stone age. I laughed right back and said that I've got a thumb stick that can instantly stream about 70,000 movies or TV shows with a few mouse clicks. I haven't seen a commercial outside of the Superbowl in about 10 years.

FYI, but not to distract from your self-imposed isolation, if you were interested you could get some video device from after that conversion time, and it would have the digital tuners included. For a couple bucks, or up to $10 frequently St. Vincents, Goodwill, or others have used items like DVD players, other electronics items with TV tuning. And the quality will often exceed the generic converters of that time.

Back to the topic, I think Pay it Forward and The Green Mile are possibilities. For me, they are due mostly because of their use of flashback, telepathy, and non-chronological scene sequence.

Checking now, I am surprised to find that Pay it Forward came out a few months after Momento, when I had thought it was first. In fact, The Green Mile was only 10 months before Pay it Forward.

Do you need to have an antenna to get the HD signals still, or will the converters do that for you? Maybe I'll look into one or two of them if you don't need an antenna. I've got an old projection screen out on my 3 season room that hardly gets any use during the summer since my NAS drive died.


I've actually never seen Green Mile or Memento. I've always meant to.

Pay it Forward is one of the greats.

Yes, some type of antenna is usually needed, based upon the signal strength. I also used to just connect wire and hang it on the wall, or under the curtains.
rabbit ears are also quite cheap at used places. Also there are cheap flat-square type antennas which work well. I used to also just plug into the cable in the wall, even though it wasn't connect to the cable company. The wire in the cable, which sometimes extends outside, would act as antenna fairly well.
Different stations and broadcast locations/directions will affect your reception.
Also, those DVDs are usually available for free borrowing at the Pubic Library.

Yeah... I thought that some people were able to connect through the coaxial. Didn't know why that worked though. If I see a unit at the goodwill I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info.

I could watch those movies on the Stick tonight if I wanted to. I'll have to make a mental note to remember to watch them.

IIRC, the director once said that t-shirt made him a lot if money.
