witesoxfan Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 08:07 AM) I don't have any recent information, but I know some people who worked with him on projects some time ago... he had a reputation, at least when he was a bigger star, of being one of the biggest pricks to work with in Hollywood. And that's saying something. Hopefully he's come back to earth in recent years. Oooh joy. I have read that he is very detailed and meticulous in his preparatino of stuff, so perhaps he's different outside of a studio. And hopefully his former assistant is there too - the connection we actually have with him - so that he may not be as big of a prick as usual (if he is one).

Iwritecode Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just yesterday I sat down and figured this out: We are paying around $65 for the cheapest cable we can get. We can only get it on 3 TVs because we have to have these stupid little converter boxes on every TV. The first 3 are free. We'd have to pay $5 a month to get more. We get about 63 channels. Of those 63, we only watch about 20 regularly. There may be another 5 or 10 that we watch occasionally. The rest of the channels I couldn't care less about. That's roughly $2-$3 per channel. We've been thinking about switching to satellite but we're not sure we'd save much money or what channels we'd have to give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Oh CNN: Betts said the Postal Service obtained the image from a photo service, which had misidentified the image as being the Statute of Liberty. Consequently, the Postal Service also identified the stamp as being the original Statue of Liberty in materials about the new stamps, Betts said, but it has since rectified the error.

I would jump on it so hard. When I was at TWC, they discussed it and discussed it, and we figured out that they would lose money badly, and we knew it. Hello bundles! They'll tell you that you actually save on programming by buying the bundle and that they would have to drive the prices per channel up so much that it wouldn't save you anything.

JPN366 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I feel lucky to be alive. What the weathermen were calling a "supercell" funnel cloud passed right over my house. They were talking like had it touched down, it would have been devastating. There are pictures people took that show it almost touching down. F***, I wonder what it's like to not live in fear of tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their arguement is that the selection of channels would be totally gone. Which, 95% of them are crap anyway. But the ones that are left, you'd have to pay $60 a month to get to make the programming feasible. The other bulls*** channels actually keep the cost of, say, ESPN, down. (ESPN is the most expensive programming channel out there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
