I just watched the most amazing documentary film, Man On Wire. I get movies via Netflix.
It's about a frenchman, Phillippe Petit who is a wirewalker. On 8/7/74 with help from associates, he strung a cable between the towers of the World Trade Centers and tightroped his way across. This movie is riveting and fraught with danger (even though it is a given that Petit succeeded in his venture ). Anyone who uses Netflix should certainly add this film to your queue or find some way to view a terrific film.

Hi Poppa,

Before I head home for the evening I want to quickly say that I couldn't agree with you more about this great documentary. I'm glad you got to see it!

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Poppa thanks for the heads up on that I love documentaries so I may have to check that out. We also have Netflix so I take it you also have the Netflix streaming to your television. We have that and love it there are so many movies and documentaries and just about anything you would ever want to see at your fingertips. They really have some great movies and it's so cool because you get to watch it in the comfort of your own home with no commercials. Might just have to check this one out.

I'm a total fan of Netflix - for 7 1/2 years now - and I love getting DVDs and Blu-ray Discs in the mail as well as streaming content to my TV via my Blu-ray Disc player. What a treasure trove Netflix has! Movies...documentaries...TV shows...I love it.

You are so right Mr. Bill we love it and they have some great movies, documentaries and just about anything you want sitting right at your fingertips. We watch the Netflix streaming more than we watch regular television there is always something good on at Netflix and they are constantly adding more all the time. With everything they have and the way they are always adding more who needs a movie theater within a few months it will be released on Netflix.
Love my Netflix.

I have not seen that one but I think the best movie I have ever seen in my life is one called The Bear. There are only 3 human beings in it and maybe two dozen lines of dialogue. It's about a grizzly bear cub that gets orphaned in the wild and hooks up later with this huge adult male. Good story line.
A close second for me is The Gods Must Be Crazy.
I know you guys have not seen me around lately but I'm sure you will pick up on the fact that I am, as usual, a little off-topic.
