One of Two.

Okay, if anyone sees this within either the next few minutes or the next few hours, check out TNT. U.S. Marshalls is on right now, and it's kind of weird. I mean, it's not a bad movie. I saw it years ago. But this screening has something extra...besides the dialogue and the action, a narrator dictates all the actions while -- and somethimes before - they happen.

- They walk down the steps. Mark has a sling on his arm.

It's so weird. If no one else is experiencing this, then it's my cable being weird for the umpteenth time today. I can't imagine that TNT would air this version. I can't even imagine why anyone would have a version like this. It's distracting, and it takes away from the action.

Okay, so I don't hate it. But I'm weird and I'm intrigued by it.

Anyway.

P.S.: It's about 9:30 P.M. Central time right now.

P.P.S.: Oh holy crap! I just got it! I'm so cool. It's television for the blind. It started (on the encore of U.S. Marshalls) with the guy describing the Warner Brothers shield. Whoa. This is cool. It's funny...before I understood, I thought, "Hey, this is like closed captioning." That's how it intrigued me.

Whoa.

So it's probably my cable that's being quirky and broadcasting it to my T.V. this way. It's good to know that this exists. (I mean, it makes sense that it does...never mind.)
