reptilia

I just got home from work about an hour ago, and I'm beyond tired. I'm trying to decide whether I want to just go to sleep or stay up and watch all the horrible, horrible horror movies that have been on TV this year. God, they all suck, especially AMC's line-up. What the hell happened to that station, huh? They used to (meaning two plus years ago) have such a classic line-up with awesome movies and few commercials (and no commercials even further back), but they've since turned into trash. Case in point was a few days ago when the Omen trilogy was playing. The first one started at around 7:00 p.m. and the others played after it. After all three were finished, they decided to start them all over again! They usually do that as an encore, but it's three movies, around seven to eight hours! I also looked a bit later in the guide listings and saw them being played again later that day. In fact, the majority of AMC's "Monster Fest" has been almost virtually comprised of the Amityville, Halloween, Godzilla, and Omen series. There are such other, better horror movies out there they could play, and it is appalling that they aren't. I assume it is because they don't have the liscenses for all of them, but does that mean we should sit through the same four movies for however long "Monster Fest" lasts? I always enjoyed AMC's older movies, but it has been, like all TV, disgusting and gross with age. Just look at Nick-At-Nite.

I'll be extremely thankful when Cox puts Turner Classic Movies on our cable listing later this year/early next year. Then maybe I'll have a reason to watch TV with any ounce of frequency again.
