   Hello Doug!

   It's a nicely paced mystery/thriller.  Clooney gives it a respectable     
   class and believability.   I have to watch it again too!   
      
      
    DC> Another oldie but goodie was "Enemy of the state"   
    DC> with Will Smith;   
      
   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."   
      
      
    DC> As for TV shows, I'm anxiously   
    DC> awaiting Jack Ryan season 3.   
      
   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.   
      
      
    DC> These Java classes are leaving my brain mush at the end of each day.   
    DC> I look forward to the weekend so that I can catch up on a couple of   
    DC> shows, Ozark being one of them.  I'll have to check out the preview   
    DC> to Killing Eve,  Whats the genre and or premise?  I have heard the   
    DC> name quite frequently, but for some reason haven't checked it out.   
      
   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.   
      
      
    DC> I have had time during breaks to begin editing my BBS "about" and   
    DC> "history" page as you suggested.  When I'm done, may I netmail it to   
    DC> you? I'd love your feedback.   
      
   Absolutely.  I think I did a pretty good job proof-reading a fellow's sci-    
   fi short story a few months ago.   
      
      
    DC>  The one on the Telnet Guide was a quick free write, typos and all.   
    DC>  However when I start building out my own page, I'll want it rather   
    DC>  tight.  You're more colorful with words then I.   
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
      
   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?
