Movie Madness

Aside from BBC and CNN, the only channels that consistently have programming in English are the Star Channel and Star Channel Classic. Like most cable tv outlets, they occasionally have new(ish) movies like Troy and The Cell, but usually they are showing some sketchy Jeff Goldblum vehicle from the mid-80s or RoboCop 2. The classic station is almost always showing a western. I started flipping through the Japanese channels and came across one that was showing Little Women (1949) starring June Allyson, Margaret O'Brien, and Liz Taylor (as a blonde!). I'll tell you, it's a real weepie. I mean, does poor Beth have to die? After she got that beautiful piano?

Damn you, Louisa May.

Troy was not bad either--it was nice to finally see a major studio make gay porn.
