my opinion matters

I have recently started reading some John Grisham, and finished reading and watching The Firm . One thing is interesting to me... In the book, the main character cheats on his wife and the firm tries to blackmail him but he works out a situation where he gets away with $8 million at the end and his wife never finds out. However, in the movie, he comes clean with his wife and there's a huge fight. It seemed like such a small detail to me at first, but then I started thinking about it. Plot devices are one thing, but there's plenty of plot to go around with the book, so why? I think it's because it's more palatable for the public to see that you can't get away with stuff like that. Unfortunately, that's what happened in the book, and if you're willing to believe he got away with the money at the end, it would make sense that he could get away with something as small as cheating on his wife. But I bet it was because of the crazy sensibility of the public. Surpr...

Again, I will say it. I love the Netflix instant queue. Netflix inflated their prices like crazy recently, but I don't think I will ever be able to give up the instant queue. As long as I have the internet (and something other than a netbook), I can watch awesome movies and awesome shows whenever I want. And I do, trust me. I am currently in the middle of Star Trek: TNG , Cheers , and Star Trek: Voyager. I also finished watching the first season of Switched at Birth . The movies on Netflix are... okay. But the tv shows are really where the awesomeness comes in. They recently added all of the former seasons of Mad Men , and I'm definitely looking forward to watching those again soon. Anyway, the reason I wanted to blog today is because of Cheers . Like everyone, I've seen a few random episodes of the show, but never seriously. It started in 1982, and I wasn't born yet, so it's not that surprising. And when I was a kid, Nick at Nite had I Love Lucy and Bewitched....
