A return to somewhat normal viewing on Friday night, the return of Midnight Special videos.. I started this back in January but stopped after a few weeks because I felt a new feeling of depression that I never have felt before.. Most of it from the way I felt from when I was younger and watched these artists originally "live".. Thinking of that and this past Thursday I watched that Eagles program that was on Showtime recently.. Watching how the band went from obscurity to full blown stardom and the falling apart from drug induced head cases.. Then last night I went from midnight special to nowhere archive and watched a thing the site put together.. It is a little return to spring & summer right of passage.. A little piece that I think was a double header in the return to the drive in theater.. The piece started with a featurette called Welcome Back and showed the snack bar and everything, then after that clip it was previews to upcoming movies, and it had that clip and cut feel (more because it really was) from back when the film broke and it was pasted back together.. It just felt so cool to be back in the old car with the windows rolled down and that speaker hanging like that and watching a movie just like we used to do before daylight savings time ruined that experience.. There are nearly no drive in theaters anymore..
tested a few more channels on the Roku to see if there was anything I wanted on these channels and ended up getting rid of three more, both popcorn channels (flix and classic tv) and extreme movie channel was returned to the channel store.. They can be reacquired later if I want them but I would stop on them and look through them and then when I heard the number of channels there should be on a Roku at any given time I knew I better cut a few more and will have to cut more shortly.. The Roku tends to lock up if there are too many channels on it, and I had about every free channel there was.. I have so many private channels, almost as many private as those that are open to the public.. I did look for the big basketball tournament on Justin.tv on roku and there was a preview of one of the games but the game wasn't on.. Not sure if any of the games were on there or elsewhere, I don't care.. I heard that HBO GO channel on Roku might be opened to everyone, not just those who have HBO on their cable/satellite, which if that is the case they will be the first in a long line to move this direction.. Showtime has a channel on Roku but it is a preview channel more than anything else.. Revision 3 (cube) is a really good channel, I said I'm evaluating channels on the roku and finding stuff I was hoping was there and others not so much.. Finally being realistic where it comes to the fringe channels.. Keep, don't keep, just have to be realistic, I don't want this box to be like the digital cable box and not watch 90% of what's on there, looks good. Look at all those channels, but what's on them?? You know??
