There's a theoretically great television station here in San Francisco (KFSF Channel 66) that, were I able to speak or comprehend Spanish, would be actually great. Since we don't have cable (yet--jobs first!) I'm limited to channel-surfing in a kiddy pool of a mere 10 stations. Of those, two are often broadcasting something in an Asian language (I'm guessing one is Chinese, but that's a big guess) and one is the aforementioned "Telefutura".
The sad part is, I routinely run across movies that--given my limited selection--I would totally watch, only to find time and time again that they're on channel 66. The subject of this post's title, for example, will be on tomorrow night. Not that Cobra (with Sylvester Stallone as a cop named "Marion" and a young, not-yet-terrifying Brigitte Nielson) is cinema gold, but it's great background noise for a rainy Saturday afternoon. It's like when the networks didn't always broadcast golf or some other crap (or infomercials) on the weekends and instead left us to at the mercy of "Weekend at Bernie's II" and "Commando".
Okay so maybe it's sad that I miss such horrible movies. I also just watched "Schindler's List" for the first time this weekend. Turns out, it's really depressing. Who knew?
