I have a turntable with my stereo system, but it is one of those fancy kind of DJ type turntables. For Christmas I actually got one of those remakes of turntables that have gotten popular. You know the retro type ones. I guess you would actually call it a record player although it will play cds and cassettes and has this ole timey looking radio on it. You can even stack records on it and when one is through the next one drops. Remember those? I haven't got to mess with it yet, but it is funny that you happened to post this video at the same time.

Alex and I are watching this show on A&E called "Jesus Camp". It's appalling. And frightening too. This kids are being trained to be radicals. They call themselves "Warriors for Jesus". Unbelievable.

I found this clip on youtube about the show. It is roughly 2 minutes long I think. I don't have a problem with people believing in God. I do. And I don't have anything against Christianity. But this is totally absurd....

        That  is very very scary David.  They are indoctrinating little nazis.  Teaching them, you are either one of them or you are on the enemy side...That is Hitler youth reborn. OMG

no different than what the radical Islamics do...

Now we're watching Beloved with Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover.







God, this movie is so scary!

"Them that die bad don't stay in the ground!"

Hi David!!

Happy New Year's Eve!!

I've never seen "Beloved". You'll have to give your recommendations about it. I watched "Legends of the Fall" again today. That one is a big "yes" in my book!  

[David In Indy]

Hi Gary! HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too, you cutie!! 

Happy New Year to you too Shasta!!

Hi Shasta! Yes, I LOVED Legends of the Fall! I haven't seen it in several years, but I remember I loved it!

Beloved is about Setha, a slave woman who escaped her northern Kentucky plantation, Sweet Home, and managed to bring her children across the Ohio River with her. Setha and her children settled in Cincinnati at her mother in law's house (Baby Sugg). Eventually the overseer, School Teacher, catches up to her and threatens to take her and her children back to Kentucky. She figures it is better to kill her children rather than have them go into slavery back at Sweet Home. She kills her daughter, but is stopped before killing the rest of them (VERY difficult scene to watch). The daughter she killed comes back to haunt her, and she ends up driving Sethe mad from the torment. Part of this story is based on actual events. I highly recommend it!!

Thanks for the review, David! I'll have to see it one day! Sounds intense.

Have ya'll watched "A River Runs Through It"? Same as "LotF" -- set in early 1900's Montana -- Brad Pitt -- I liked it too. Beautiful scenery in both of them.
