They show uncut, uninterrupted films <i>in the proper aspect ratio</i>. (Who woulda thought?) It neighbors Turner Classic Movies in the channel listings, which is also really good (and where I saw <i>Freaks</i>, I believe). No, I didn't bother to TiVo it. Sounded too weird for me, and since <i>Eraserhead</i> is closing in on the top of my queue, I need to save strength for that. It’s actually a pretty cool channel.

All your movies are belong to us. So did you watch it? Is that a premium channel? There were lots of naked boobs in the movie, I don't see how they could show it on the networks. Heh.

Doesn't scale well tho, does it? Eeep. Craziest thing ever. You write this review, and then the same night, they show it on the Fox Movie Channel. Are you suddenly in charge of programming there? If so, why Predator 2? Woe. Doesn’t scale well tho, does it? Eeep.

If so, why Predator 2?

I was making the png correctly with the transparent matte, but WP makes a thumbnail when you upload, and it was using that. The transparency didn't seem to be correct in the thumbnail, but using the full size one works correctly. Ah! Figured it out.

I just *could not* get the transparency to work with in a png with Fireworks. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'll have to work on it when I have more time. I'm also trying to think of something more apropos than stars, but I have no imagination. No, It’s a white background. I just *could not* get the transparency to work with in a png with Fireworks.
