and I just checked and HBO has been turned on for one reason or another.

If it's on for everybody, they're showing "Argo" on one of the HBO channels. It's about half an hour in. Not bad except the actors are mumbling and talking over each other.

They never alert anybody when they're going to turn it on for a promotion.

Comcast used to send messages to the cable menu ahead of time, but its been months since they've sent any.

I think HBO (and Showtime) should let these providers know that free previews dont work as advertizing if the viewers dont know its available.

because someone said "Argo" was on this afternoon. I wasn't impressed, to tell the truth, having your characters mumble and talk over each other might be realistic to the director but does nothing to enlighten the audience.

"Anna Karenina" was visually stunning but as usual, I was rooting for the train.

ETA: I kept switching to "North by Northwest" on TCM and decided it was the best of the bunch.

Sounds like a lot of explosions.

I suggested Argo, but she isnt political, so she didnt care to see it.
