We watched FORBIDDEN PLANET tonight on a DVD Keith's brother gave us. It includes deleted scenes, along with interesting facts.

I didn'the realize it inspired STAR WARS & STAR TREK.

Auction is STILL going on - one time it got down to seven minutes and I thought the madness would end, but alas, in this iteration there are still twenty minutes to go - and this auction doesn't even have anything that interesting in it. I'm going to write the auction house tomorrow and tell them they've blown any chance of my EVER giving them anything to auction or of me taking part in an auction - at some point this becomes ludicrous. They say they do it because it's to protect bidders from snipers - well, give me a break. This literally could go on for days if you've got two twits duking it out.

Skippy chunky is what I like along with apricot preserves. Cinnamon plum jam, or preserves, would be better if I could still find it.

The best bread I used was a current bread which I can no longer get.

This auction narrative is making me laugh.

Today I watched HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959). I hadn't seen it in probably forty years.

TCB · « **Reply #129 on:** July 10, 2016, 10:45:21 PM »

I was tempted to watch the cleaned up and colorized version, but Amazon wanted $2.99 to watch it, and the B&W version was free.

I find that I don't enjoy horror films like I used to like them.

TCB · « **Reply #131 on:** July 10, 2016, 10:48:22 PM »

This one was more of a nostalgia trip than a horror film.

TCB · « **Reply #132 on:** July 10, 2016, 10:49:45 PM »

I knew I wanted to watch something, but I just couldn't decide on anything.

TCB · « **Reply #133 on:** July 10, 2016, 10:51:14 PM »

THE MARTIAN is no longer available to rent on either Amazon or Netflix. I guess I will have to either buy it or go to one of those red box places.

Jane · « **Reply #134 on:** July 10, 2016, 10:58:54 PM »

Is it available at the Red Box?

bk · « **Reply #135 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:04:02 PM »

I just searched thirty-minute rule and I found interesting results, including one from the very auction I'm watching. If I'm reading it correctly, an item is supposed to CLOSE if there haven't been new bids in thirty minutes - okay, get it. But this entire auction seems to be resetting overtime someone bids. I've been watching one item in particular and it has had no bids for five hours and yet still keeps getting reset - according to what's on their own site that's not the way it's supposed to work.

I don't know. I have never used one of those boxes.

We went to the movies today and saw CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE. We laughed a lot and enjoyed it very much.

When we used them the movies were fairly recent.

I give up trying to do that last post correctly.

Jane · « **Reply #140 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:08:03 PM »

Can you get Netflix in the mail?

Jane · « **Reply #141 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:08:35 PM »

I need to read and sleep.

Jane · « **Reply #142 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:08:48 PM »

'night.

Of course. Or do you mean Tom, specifically?

TCB · « **Reply #144 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:16:31 PM »

I used to have Netflix by mail, but I switched when I got my Roku.

Jane · « **Reply #145 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:17:06 PM »

I meant Tom since he said Netflix no longer has THE MARTIAN. I am guessing he can't stream it.

TCB · « **Reply #146 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:17:24 PM »

My life won't end if I don't get to see THE MARTIAN.

TCB · « **Reply #147 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:18:00 PM »

I don't think I care enough to buy the DVD.

Jane · « **Reply #148 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:18:03 PM »

True, about your life not ending

TCB · « **Reply #149 on:** July 10, 2016, 11:20:17 PM »

Unless I can find it on sale somewhere.
