===============================================
They will get nothing from me, not into soapies at all.

I enjoy a good movie.
At the moment here on pay TV it seems that they are few and far between
though.
Lots of what is commonly referred to as "Family movies" which I find most
boring.
I prefer science fiction, action, mystery, a little comedy, or maybe dash
of
horror.
Now that last one should give the bigot brigade something to squawk about.
