Exactly, On the rare occasions when I just can't wait for a movie to hit Netflix, I always patronize my local bootlegger, rather than take a chance on downloading myself.

That's only half-joking. There's a guy around here who sells in-theater movies on disks. Two for $5. He operates from a semi-organized community flea market very openly. I have no idea why he hasn't been arrested. His little stand is quite popular.

If the movie releases on Thursday, he has it on the weekend. I've actually watched one that a friend had. The quality is actually pretty good.

We watched the 6 Minion mini movies that came with Despicable Me 1 and 2.

We watched the Matrix trilogy (plus animatrix)

I don't recommend it.

Wonder who he was? I only got to speak to Lee Merriweather a few minutes at a DragonCon and wished I had asked. A first rate and classy lady.

The movie is one star at best. I wouldn’t waste my time, much less any cash.

Martin Milner’s snark on Adam-12 was way ahead of his time. My teens love that show (while marvelling that there were color tv shows back when hubby & I were dinosaurs. LOL)

And don’t get me going on Steve McGarrett. Jack Lord set the standard for stylish COOL.

Would be hard to convince me that this was nothing more than a PR stunt to gin up interest in a holiday flop.

So they threw a few under the bus, big deal for Crappywood.

Now they have Obummer & Sharpton along, calling the shots, which was the game plan all along...

Many are wondering the same thing.

Glad someone else remembers that short lived classic.
