A real life bond girl?

By means of introduction, I’m a postmodern courtesan, a woman with a few lovers that support my independent lifestyle. I provide a glimpse of myself here only because I cannot resist the allure that some wildly compatible stranger I would never meet through the usual routes might come across it. Finding like-minded people is one of the true pleasures of life.

RiffTrax

Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy, the former stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000, create commentaries for B-movie oddities and Hollywood blockbusters. It’s like watching a movie with your funniest friends!

MST3K successor. has the commentary separately so they don’t have to pay royalties. clever!

Blockbuster

Blockbuster is doomed. And while many of us have known it for a while now, it’s amazing to me that the chairman of the company admitted this in a not-so subtle way, as well. For Blockbuster, there is currently no prospect for growth. Not only is it incapable of breaking the Netflix shell, the brick-and-mortar stores are failing, and there is little chance it will be able to capitalize on the future of movie rentals–downloading.

nice. a useless brick and mortar is biting the dust, albeit a bit too slowly for my taste
