RW>RN> I didn't care for it either, but it is still a Kubrick film.  It is

The only Kubrick film I have in my collection is 2001: A Space Odyssey. 
The only other one I'd consider for my collection would be Dr Strangelove. 
I don't recall why I don't have it, but it could be due to the loss I
suffered 4 years ago.  That said, I think all of Kubrick's films were
classics.  Some more than others, dependant upon the taste of the viewers. 


RW>RW>> You can't have um all...
 
RW>RN> I can still dream.
 
RW> I'll join you.
 
There would be plenty to go around and I think you'd like my choices.

You have a lawn guy?  I'm jealous!  (-:

No.  I had one that did that put out by Westinghouse, but grew tired of
seeing that big logo of theirs every time I turned it on.  It also had a
defect in it that didn't sync the audio and the video, so the voicing (lip
movement) and the audio weren't together.  After a week of that, I returned
it to Best Buy and bought the set I now have, which never had the sync
problem.  I noticed about a month later that the same Westinghouse set was
back on the shelf with the price jacked up $100.  My guess is they fixed
that problem.  I think the one I have now has a way for it to act as a
monitor, but I'm working on something else (Error 23) at the moment,
although not as hard as someone else is.
 
RW> I saw plasmas at Best Buy, but they were far and few...probably not good
RW> sellers for the price they're asking for them.
 
As a taxpayer, no, but as a government entity, you wouldn't ask the price.
 
RW>RN> ... Are the noises in my head bothering you?
 
RW> Not as much as the noises in my head.
 
Maybe it's the same noise...
