Rant: MTV
♩♪♫♩ I want my M - T - V. ♩♪♫♩ - The classic line that introduces Dire Straits' 80's rocker, "Money for Nothing," says it all. Or does it?

Movie Review: Clash of the Titans
The Clash of the Titans starring Sam Worthington was a very well done movie. The length seemed short but that could be a result of nonstop action, a reasonable plot, and decent acting. Let's not forget what seems to be the purpose of such a remake: We can do it better! And, with a nod to the original starring Harry Hamlin, they did.
I heartily recommend it. ★★★★☆

Rant: A&E
My first television station rant is directed at none other than A&E. Why? Because A&E stands for "Arts" and "Entertainment" both of which bring to mind certain characteristics. Arts ☛ "The Arts" conjures up literal images by the masters (Michelangelo, Vermeer, et al.). It also brings to mind Plays and traditional literature (i.e., Shakespeare.) By today's standards, these might be Orchestral concerts as well as movies and select television shows.
The term, "Entertainment," speaks for itself and is highly subjective. I mean, there's a reason why a plethora of categories exists. Think about British Humor. British Humor has a cult-like fan base in the United States because many US citizens don't get the unique humor as it is offered by the Brits.

Rant: TV Station Content and Name Disparity
I may be the only one who has noticed the disparity that seems to be occurring with certain Television station names and their content. I am going to analyze one station every now and then.
