I spent this weekend being sick, so I was either sleeping or waking up with a Nyquil-over the whole time.

So I blame the Nyquil for following Lynn of Violins & Starships's link to B Movies.com, where you can watch streaming video of second... make that third... rate movies.

I actually squeezed in "A Boy and His Dog", mostly because I've read the Harlan Ellison story upon which it was based. They did a better job than I expected, but worse than I'd hoped. It runs 90 minutes, mostly because it spends 30 too many of them letting you gaze in boredom at the low-budget post-apocalyptic scenery, which doesn't need NEARLY that long to made its point.

Still, Harlan's dialogue does what it can to make up for it. Acerbic sci-fi is this man's untouchable forte, after all.

Anyway, go ahead & rummage around the site. Might find something to watch over a bowl of burnt popcorn.

1 Hope you feel better, Harvey! I always put myself in a Nyquil induced stupor until it's over... I just popped over to B Movies to see that Santa Claus conquers the Martians is the 'feature'! Now that's a BAD movie...

2 No. I refuse to. I will not waste that time, I need that time! And if I get sick from you after visiting here... well, then I'll go there because I'll have nothing else to do.

5 omg - I love the movie "A Boy and His Dog". I concur that parts of it move at a snails pace - but it is well worth the watch, at least one time. I think the ending is fantastic! Harvey - if I do not get another chance, let me wish you and yours a Merry and Blessed Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year.
