    DC> I don't like Zombie movies either, nor does my wife -- we   
    DC> both love The Walking Dead. It's more about the people and   
    DC> how they survive while also trying to sustain some semblance   
    DC> of law and order; the zombies are just what cause the   
    DC> situation and constant stress they live within. More of a   
    DC> back drop.   
      
   Ah..  A kind of psychological approach then.  But then it depends on the pace   
   of the series.  I don't like a series that drags out the mystery for too   
   long.  For example, I could not get into LOST despite all the hype built up   
   around it.  Later, I learned that the ending let the fans down anyway.   
      
      
    DC> ... having the feeling of not being   
    DC> surrounded, without the expense of a lot of land, is what I   
    DC> like within a back yard. And, the trees help filter some of   
    DC> the road and siren noise that seems non-stop 2-3 blocks   
    DC> away.   
      
   No street noise around here. Just birds, crickets, frogs.   
      
   I can relate to the char in Ozark who lives in the basement at his house and   
   has the habit of going skinny dipping in the lake.  It's at *his* property   
   after all.   
      
      
    AA>> Back to films.. I would recommend the series: The   
    AA>> Americans. It's a spy thriller set in the Reagan era..   
      
    DC> I saw that show listed, haven't tried it yet. I'll have to   
    DC> do so.   
      
   It's a very smart/intellectual series. The poker-faces of the actors as they   
   deal with concealing their secrets are fun to watch.  The scenes of unspoken   
   communications are well played as well.   
      
   I just recently reviewed a couple of episodes where I left off. It is near the   
   end of season 2 where they deal with the "secrets" of arpanet, stealth   
   technology for the SR-xx bomber, and ECHO.   
      
   The ECHO scenes reminded me of echomail.  I'd like to create a little mashup   
   of those scenes and have a little spoof on how the "secret" of echomail was   
   revealed to the world.  LOL   
      
      
    DC> Have you seen Dexter? Thats another my wife and I   
    DC> really enjoyed.   
      
   I heard a lot about it when it first came out. The premise intrigued me. But I   
   did not have access to DSL/internet as I do now.   My movie + tv series   
   backlist is getting longer than I have time to spare for!
