First of all, it is flexible. What I mean by flexible is that they can do it almost anywhere and anytime they want. As we know that a cell phone or an iPad is one of the things that people should have nowadays. With cellphone and ipad in their hand, they will be able to access porn websites such as the Bang You Later dot com almost from anyplace they like, as long as the phone or the ipad can receive the internet connection. Second of all, they say that enjoying porn site via iPad and cell phone is more private than watching it from the laptop and computer screen. When they use the computer screen, the screen, for some people, is just too large for them and this is what makes watching porn on a computer screen is less private than the mobile porn.

The decision between the two can be tough, but not impossible. What’s great about satellite TV is that with all of the channels it has available, it can largely replace the need to rent, buy and go see movies. While it cannot equal the experience of sitting in a theater, it can certainly compete. And in these tougher economic times, it just might win.

First and foremost, satellite TV packages offer tons of film channels such as HBO, Cinemax and Showtime. These channels feature some of the latest films as well as several great and often edgy television shows. Release time frames for rental and television release are comparable, meaning the wait should be about the same. While not all movies are featured on HBO and Showtime, some of the best are. Moreover, they are repeated, meaning you can re-watch the ones you really like without having to pay.

There are also several specialty film channels available on satellite TV. Turner Classic Movies and the International Film Channel, for example, feature specific types of films. Not only are the movies seen on these channels entertaining, but they are also different. You may find yourself watching and enjoying things you would have never picked out for yourself at a theater or in Blockbuster. These channels can turn television movie watching into an education experience, introducing you to different styles and ideas.

Apart from all of these film-specific channels, don’t forget that other more general-programming stations often feature movies as well. While these movies may not be the newest of the bunch, they are often among the best. Old favorites like Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club and hundreds of others can be found on channels like TNT and VH1 all of the time. While you may not be willing to rent such movies that you’ve seen so many times before, you will be quite likely to spend a Saturday afternoon watching them while taking a walk down memory lane.

When you’re looking to make cuts in your budget this year when it comes to viewing entertainment, don’t get too upset if downsizing means less rented movies and less nights at the cinema. You may be surprised at how well satellite TV can serve as a sufficient substitute to meet most of your film needs and desires.

Directv offers has tons to offer when it comes to movies. Find out what Directv packages may be right for you.

It was the summer of 1977, and it was sweltering in Pittsburgh. As the beat reporter for the City of Clairton – it was my job to know everything that was going on in the community – including its politics, police and fire activities, and the schools.

Clairton is located along the banks of the Monongahela River – 14 miles southeast of the City of Pittsburgh. It was (and more so now) a distressed city. It was home to the Clairton Coke Works – and by 1977 already had its share of unfavorable press attention stemming from high unemployment, a rising crime rate and declining economic base.

But residents were proud of their town and worked hard at every turn to ward off any unfavorable perceptions that might do the city harm.

Thus it was no surprise when Mayor Lloyd Fuge – a bright and successful attorney – asked me to accompany and drive him (Lloyd had lost his sight in an accident as a young boy) to the Pittsburgh International Airport Holiday Inn some 30 miles away where he hoped to meet up with a young movie director by the name of Michael Cimino.

The mayor had received word that Cimino was directing a movie that was to take place in a small steel town named Clairton. He feared that once again the city would be on the receiving end of bad press – this time on the big screen before a national audience.

His goal for the meeting was to convince the director to change the name of the city where the movie would take place. Although he had no idea what the movie was about or how the city was going to be portrayed – he feared the worst.

We arrived at the motel and went straight to the front desk where Mayor Fuge asked the desk clerk to find Mr. Cimino for him. When asked who he should say was requesting to see him – the mayor authoritatively flipped open an official police “badge,” and simply said, “I am”.

As mayor, Mr. Fuge was head of Clairton’s police department (although he had no jurisdiction at this location) but his unusual movie-style ploy had the desired effect – a worried Mr. Cimino arrived within minutes.

We sat in the lobby of the motel where Mayor Fuge first apologized for his novel approach in getting Mr. Cimino’s attention – then articulated his concern that Clairton might be unfavorably portrayed in his movie. At one point Mayor Fuge said that he might seek an injunction to stop the director from using the name Clairton in the movie.

The director was concerned and went to great lengths to reassure the mayor that the movie would in no way damage the image of Clairton – “It’s about relationships of people,” he said, describing the script.

The mayor was satisfied and the meeting ended – but as part of the solution and to show transparency – Mr. Cimino invited me to watch the filming the next day to see for myself that the City of Clairton was not the focus of the movie.

I arrived on a high bluff in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, for the filming of a funeral scene the next day. The film crew had taken an abandoned piece of property and turned it into a makeshift cemetery. It was a 90-degree day – so they dyed surrounding tree leaves red/orange and large fans were brought in to create the illusion of a windy-cold fall day.

The movie was The Deer Hunter – winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1978. Mr. Cimino won the Academy Award for Best Director.

That day following the funeral scene – Mr. Cimino escorted me to an unassuming trailer where he set up an interview for me with one of the movie’s lead actors – someone by the name of Robert DeNiro. We talked for a while about the movie and his method as an actor.

As the interview ended, he turned to an actress inside the same trailer and said to me, “I want you to interview the real star of the movie – meet Meryl Streep”.

The Deer Hunter put the actress on the map, and the City of Clairton, too.

As a book, Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” stands as one of the greatest works of literature in history. As a movie, “Part I” is pretty good… the performances are at least OK, and the faithfulness to the story is outstanding. But as an event, the release of this movie is nothing short of amazing.

“Atlas Shrugged” is an account of what would happen if the push toward collectivism was allowed to attain success in America. It’s eerie how close the real events in our nation are coming to those warned of in Rand’s book, which she wrote as a story instead of as a philosophical dissertation in order to more artfully (and impactfully) make her point. What if the “progressives” were able to continue to incite the masses, through class warfare, to hobble the productive and “eat the rich?” And what if the productive members of society – those hard-working idea generators who create jobs and wealth for all of us – were to simply walk away? Go on strike? Stop holding up the world, like a shrugging Atlas?

Everybody thinks they could do a better job of running their company than do the owners… but could they, really? Could those who’ve been “trained” (through years of dependence behavior) to wait for others to sustain them actually sustain themselves if the bosses suddenly disappeared? You know the answer. And so do the millions who’ve read “Atlas Shrugged” since its publication in 1957.

I heard an interview the other day with one of the movie’s producers. Apparently, they tried to buy advertising for the movie on all the major networks, just like all big Hollywood producers do. But every network rejected the ads “for (unspecified) editorial reasons,” except for one (luckily for the producers, that one network is Fox, which regularly trounces the others in ratings). The producer diplomatically said he’d have preferred a more detailed explanation for the rejection. I will go further, and say I would wish network executives could find a less chicken-crap way to come out and proclaim their statist leanings.

So you have to look pretty hard to find an ad for this movie. I think that’s reason enough to go see it… why don’t the networks want you to?

Meanwhile, you also can’t find a good review of the film… and I can assure you it’s not as bad as the liberal critics make it out to be. It’s a pretty good movie… but the reviewers have decided, since they don’t want you to absorb the content, to sell out any remnant of objectivity they ever had and over-shred the execution of the production. Again, you have to ask yourself: why don’t the movie critics want you to see this movie?

Finally, you have to search high-and-low to find a theater brave enough to buck Big Hollywood and actually show the movie. But when you do, and if you go see the movie, you’ll be surprised. I’ve seen it twice now – once with my daughter on a Thursday evening (not a prime showing), and again with my son the other day during a Sunday matinee (also not “prime time”). On both occasions, the person at the box office told me it was their number-one attraction (among a dozen offerings). Both times, the theater was packed (on Sunday, there were people sitting in the aisles). And both times, the end of the movie was greeted with serious applause. When’s the last time you had that experience at the movie theater? And again… why don’t the theater executives want you to see this movie?

Over a hundred years, “progressive” collectivists have taken substantial control of all institutions in the U.S. which influence public opinion: the government, the news media, the education and labor communities, and even the entertainment industry. They simply don’t want you to see this movie, because they like presenting only one side of the argument – the “compassion” of big government and entitlement spending. They don’t want you to see a fair presentation of the other side – the inherent viciousness and authoritarian failure in what begins with such well-intended compassion.

Constitutional conservatives are derided by the elites who now control those influential institutions. They’ll tell you we’re just putting forth crazy paranoid conspiracy theories. You don’t need to work so hard, they’ll say… don’t start your own business, we’ll take care of you with handouts! You don’t need to worry your pretty little head about such silly things as hyper-inflation and world war… everything’s fine! You don’t have to produce anything… we’ll get those who do produce things to share them with you, at the point of a gun! No, they’ll constantly assure you, there’s no conspiracy here. Everything’s fine. Go back to sleep.

But it’s just a movie, right? Why don’t they want you to see it? Why are they so desperate, to the point of turning down advertising and box office revenue when they could really use it, to make sure you don’t see this movie?
