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

I had a fair number of sales of my last book "Marine Dad" but almost no feedback.  I have concluded they aren't very good, but I can't improve without constructive critique.  I got some excellent critique from beta on my fictional books, and CWSooner.

Speaking of which, I need to get around to reading books 2 and 3. I ordered them for the kindle but haven't read them yet. 

Seems that football season leads to me not reading many books... 

I don't have a streaming app, but I'm old

You'd save a thousand bucks a year, probably.

I saw Dune on HBO and was sort of meh about it, though I do think it would be much better in a theatre, preferably one of those fancy Dolby sound ones. We watched the new Halloween on peacock, and I can't stress enough that you should not go to the theatre to watch that movie if you can watch it at home.  Also the peacock app is very good, whereas HBOMax is trash.

We watched that on HBOMax last week.  I was also kinda meh about it, but my opinion of Part 1 probably rises or falls depending on where the sequels go.  From what I remember of the original movie (haven't seen that in like 25 years), I was surprised at how much this new iteration did NOT change.  Which could be a good thing, depending on the source material.  Seems like usually remakes try to throw a few obvious tweaks in the mix.  

I never read the books, but I forget that b/c my sister did and she's talked to me so much about them that I know a lot more about the Dune-verse than I probably would having only seen the movies.  The original movie and this new one both strike me as almost doomed cinematic attempts, in that there's so much back-story and world-building in the books that is nigh impossible to get across in a movie, or even a movie series.  I always thought Dune might work better as a mini-series, something that could give the story 8-12 hours and really unpack the nuances.  I just IMDB'd it and see that it was in fact a mini-series at one point.  Never saw it.  Will have to find that and see if my theory holds up.  

Yes - the HBOMax app is trash. I would be more tolerant if there weren't literally tons of other options, many like Netflix that have been around for years and work well. Some tech guy told me they know it's garbage and are trying to rebuild it.

How are you accessing it?

I use a ROKU and have not had any problems

Sleeper good war movie on Netflix for anyone who enjoys the human angle of WW2.  Forgotten Battle.   Quite good.  

I really doubt it
old men really enjoy saving a few bucks a month

how much is your cable bill?

plenty

about $120/month

but, of course I need ESPN, BTN, SEC, FOX sports, NFL network, MLB network, Golf Channel, TBS, TNT

Is that $120/mo including internet, or just cable?
