I was clicking through Comcast's on screen Movie menu to see if
anything was on worth watching (nope). But I did notice a lot of
notable sequences in the listing. All of these were in the listings,
in the given order. My smartass comments follow the sequences:

Alien
The Perfect Husband
  Well, some of us are alien enough as it is

Texas Chainsaw Massacre
A Cop and a Half
 This is what happens when you don't turn off the chainsaw
 before trying to hand cuff the perp. And later:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Runaway Jury
 The jury wants *nothing* to do with this trial, unless
 the chainsaw is turned *off*.

Honey
Matrix Revolutions
 I don't know. This just reminded me of some sort of snack

Cheaper By the Dozen
Matrix Revolutions
 The more movies he makes, the more money he saves...

The Man Who Wasn't
Addicted to His Love
A Minute to Pray
 I suppose he was giving *thanks* that he wasn't addicted.
 Actually, the title of the first one was an abbreviation
 of "The Man Who Wasn't There", as shown on the menu. Also
 a very fine, Cohen Brothers flick.

Hollywood Homicide
About Schmidt
 Someone finally got tired of Jack Nicholson's acting.

Before and After
National Security
 A comparison of the idyllic days before 9/11 to the days
 after the Patriot Act.

Just Married
Chilly Dogs
Hollywood Homicide
 Just because it's your honeymoon, doesn't mean you can
 put your could feet against her butt.

What's Cooking?
The Bible
 Hungry fundamentalists eat soul food.

Boys On the Side
Excess Baggage
 More male bashing, what can I say?

Absolute Beginners
Deadly Intent
 Unsenet newbies try to take down the network through
 sheer cluelessness. Hilarity ensues.

Ivana Trump's
Scorn
 Don't dump your wife for some chippy, even if you are rich. All
 that "hell hath no fury" stuff. The first movie was a menu
 abbreviation of "Ivana Trump's For Love Alone"

Beavis and Butthead
Welcome to Deathrow
 Yes! Finally! I will pay money to watch the execution!

Body Heat
Fireball 500
 I am *not* going to ask where the fireball originated, although
 I did notice that "Ring of Fire" was showing later in the day.

How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days
Swimming With Sharks
 Honestly, officer, I told him *not* to swim in Austrian waters.

Mars Attacks!
Mortal Kombat
 Yes, they did! Yes, it was!

The Secret of NIMH
Little Secrets
 Damn mice kept me up all night, whispering.

Peewee's Big Adventure
Bend It Like Beckham
It Runs In the Family
 This sound painful. His kink is *not* okay. I hope he doesn't
 try this in an x-rated movie theater. I am so *not* going to
 comment on the "runs" part.

Star Trek2
Sniper 2
Substitute 4
Toy Story 2
Spykids 3
 Sequel Hour. I am just flabbergasted. These really did all
 follow one another in the menu.

Wit
Confidence
Common Ground
I'm The One
 Now will you sleep with me? Please?

Jackass: The Movie
Bloodwork
 Seems like a perfectly logical progression to me...

Love Happens
In the Company of Men
 No indication of whether women were involved or not.

Step Into Liquid
Honey
 Your kink is okay, but wipe your sticky feet before coming in.

Natural Born Killers
Felony
 But only if the scorpions don't get them first.

The Final Option
The Final Conflict
Final Justice
Final
 Now this one just creeps me out. These were on several separate
 movie channels. Had to be some collusion somewhere. And that is
 my final word.

I forgot to fix that... In another group that I frequent, it is common
to misspell Australia as Austria, as a running joke.

You do realize, don't you, that fresh-water sharks are twice as
venemous as their saltwater cousins?

That'll be the greater-spotted western diamondback shark ;-) I know some sharks
are venomous - the spiny-dogfish & the stingrays for a couple

I know bull sharks will swim up rivers into freshwater and they will attack
humans. True freshwater sharks are much rare though, IIRC.

Mind you, the way global warming is going, we do get the odd report of a great
white or hammerhead spotted in UK waters :-(

Cheers, helen s

Someone asked my Aussie ex-BF  "Isn't it great to be able to drive to
all those other countries?"  :0

LOL thanks for the laughs. All I can say apart from your commentary is that
I'm glad I didn't bother to get digital cable.

Or maybe he was eating chili dogs, and the beans got to him? That might
be worth killing over.

I think that might be the only thing that *can* bring down Usenet!

I've never seen the first 3, but the last one, "Final" was actually an
interesting, not very well-known movie. I have no memory of it showing
it theaters, but it's not a direct-to-video either. I guess it wasn't
much of a hit, but I liked it. (Note: it is a creepy movie, so if you
don't like that, don't see this one!)

I love this.  Gotta be those programming guys eating lunch together.

Sometimes network TV makes me think the writers spend entirely too much time
together as well.  The odd things that will crop up on different shows and
different networks within a few days of each other.  Not current events but
everyone will start quoting Shakespeare at once or that sort of thing.  Or
they will all start using some work you never hear in normal conversation.

Well done Mark!
You should suggest this as a contest for the Style Invitational in the
Washington Post.  See, for example,
