Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I don't understand what you're saying.  Your HOA controls.....what, exactly?  What ads you see via your cable provider or streaming service?  If so.....how?

Our HOA provides internet and TV through an outfit called Broadstar, which is a company that only services HOA's.

Broadstar gets all of its internet and TV content through Xfinity.

Broadstar is like a CO-OP, kinda.

Probably half of the neighborhoods in this development uses them. 2,000 households, roughly. The TV and internet portion of our HOA fee is about $95/month. No way would we be individually getting those things for that price through Xfinity.

you can always subscribe to any streaming service on your own - over the paid for internet

Watched Song Sung Blue and rewatched WarGames over the last couple of days.

Was worried that SFIrish wouldn't like the down parts of Song Sung Blue, but honestly, they weren't that down. I need to check in with my MKE buddies to see their memory of that duo. I bet they were at least aware of them. Nice, sweet movie.

WarGames was exactly what one would expect for the debut (or at least early) movie for teen actors in the early-80s with a plot around an high school hacker nearly starting WWIII because the government's computer had run amuck. A different spin on Dr. Strangelove, but a similar concept. It's really 80s. We watched it because I was curious after not watching it for probably nearly 40 years, and to educate SFGopher on the 80s. Mission accomplished. Although we were disappointed that in a code cracking scene the director/writer did not incorporate the code from Dr. Strangelove. That was an obvious opportunity for a cool easter egg that they missed. Weak sauce.

My genetic makeup is 1 part WarGames, 1 part Real Genius, and a dash of Phantom of the Opera.

Maybe my favorite movie. I'm a Gen-X white dude, so Shawshank is certainly in the running, and I love me some Unforgiven, but... Dr. Strangelove is so good.

if you like Peter Sellers you need to watch "Being There"

If you have HBO, check out Rooster.

Pretty good show. Steve Carell somehow has a knack for picking good roles IMHO.

Loved Rooster
