I hate to give the Hollyweird establishment big bucks from my entertainment budget to fuel their liberal engine, so I'm always happy to find a bargain:
"Family Video", a new video chain, has opened several stores in the Pittsburgh area. I just rented "Maid in Manhattan" which was released today, for $1.30, with a free "older" movie thrown in as the midweek special.
The rental rate on first run films is $2. a nite. Older kiddie films are free, and many old-time movies are $.50.
It sure beats spending 8 bucks a pop going to the cineplex, or $4.25 for renting at the big video chains. Prices must come down!
You have seen the last of "Connie Chung Tonight." Effective immediately, CNN has canceled the prime-time newsmagazine that had been on the air only since last June. Also gone is anchor Connie Chung -- the broadcast network news star CNN had wooed to become its crown jewel in a new star-strewn prime-time lineup.
Chung, who is less than halfway through her contract with the cable news network, opted to leave after declining an offer to remain in some on-air capacity, but definitely minus a prime-time program of her own.
"Connie is leaving the network," CNN spokeswoman Christa Robinson said late yesterday. "We offered her an opportunity to stay in another on-air capacity and she turned it down." WashPost
Seriously, does anyone watch CNN? I'd rather watch paint dry.
