It's a nicely paced mystery/thriller. Clooney gives it a respectable
class and believability. I have to watch it again too!

Wow.. 1998. No theaters for miles around. OTA TV was (and still is) just two
channels! Big-dish was phasing into scramble mode. :( I still have
a big dish parked outside the house. Open mesh design, I like the idea of
repurposing it as a sunshade or as a roof for a gazebo.

The Recruit from 2003. I like the lines "Nothing is as it seems.
Everything is a test."

That one, I've missed.. or have been simply too busy with so many other
shows. But I've seen JR reviews, trailers, entertainment interviews.
Looks and sounds like a good one to get lost into.

I thought Java was on it's way out. I don't think Firefox supports it
anymore by default. Other browsers follow suit. So, why spend so much
time on learning it?
Killing Eve is a cat'n'mouse action. That is an intelligence officer
tasked to track down a psychopath assassin. The task develops into an
obsession. But it gradually becomes into an equal obsession of the psycho
to find out more about the agent who tasked for the job. Meanwhile, there are
interesting "assassination" assignments along the way. It plays like
a dark comedy of sorts, but 90% is true thriller/mystery. The viewpoints from
the psychopath's perspective must have been fun to write and perform.
I think actors are getting paid too much for having fun.
DC> One worth watching, (just don't look at how many episodes there are)
DC> again is Dexter. Its twisted but very well done.
The Jekyll and Hide premise from the classic gothic book by Stevenson
intrigued me. I remember hearing about Dextor (back in 2006?) ..I had
plenty of time but I did not have the resources to watch any material like
that back then. Now, I may have access to the technology, but I am running out
of time. Re$our$e$ are not in the best state right now either. :(
I just got caught up with Mr Robot. The last few episodes were mindblowing
as the "secret" to Mr Robot was unravelled. I thought Fight Club was
pretty cool, and Sybil predates both of them. But Mr Robot had more
layers or reality than any them. That one just tired me out trying to process
it all. Now.. I'm going to get back to Burn Notice to relax.

Absolutely. I think I did a pretty good job proof-reading a fellow's sci-
fi short story a few months ago.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
HA! :) I'll see where I can help, but I think your point form and facts
are pretty good as they appear on telnetbbsguide. The word-wrapping is odd
in places, but I guess that is telnetbbsguide doing that?
