THIS Movie Channel
Since the digital switch over some channels are numbered with two digits, a dash and then another digit. One such channel is 02-2, which is known as the “this” Channel. It shows only movies… old movies —movies of stars before they became stars. The movies are shown from start to finish, including the opening credits and the closing list of characters. Of course, before the opening credits, there is the movie studios prduction logo. ie MGM, Metro Goldwin Meyer — the roaring lion which roars!
The This collection is made up of six distinct libraries (Cannon, United Artists, Polygram Filmed Entertainment, Orion, Samuel Goldwyn Films and MGM) that provides quality entertainment from its library of 4,000 films and 10,000 episodes of TV Series. ”This is the place for movies.”
Right after Farrah Fawcett died, they showed several of her movies. Movies are usually shown more than once so you have the chance to watch an “encore” presentation if you want. I noticed the same thing right after Gene Hackman passed away. This week, Haunted Honeymoon has been playing with Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner.
This Saturday, “this” is having a “Jackie Chan Marathon” beginnining at 1:00 ET which should be 10:00 am Pacific Time.
http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tvlistings/ZCGrid.do?aid=wgaldt2 All movie times are listed in Eastern time which means that we see the movies three hours earlier than they are listed. for instance, “Kiss the Sky” started at 3:00am ET, but started at midnight here in Oregon.
Enjoy your new Movie Channel!!!
Visualization
Since before I received my first Chemotherapy session for my Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma, I have utilized visualization for my healing.
If you will recall, I heard a powerful and moving composition by the famous composer Rimsky-Kosakov while I was en-route to my initial appointment with my Gynecological Oncologist. It is titled “Procession of the Nobles” and is the music that I have deigned to be my “Chemo Music”. This piece is very powerful, yet, elegant and has beautiful flowing melodies throughout, but never gives up the power behind the composition. It has been well suited for my purpose; which is that of conquering this horrible aggressive cancer that I have.
I call my Chemo drugs “My Nobles” and I have always used the percussion of the piece to help me visualize my chemo drugs “pow, pow, powing” the cancer cells. But I know that this cancer is sneaky… as many cancers are. So what do I do about the cancer cells that are “hiding” from my chemo drugs?
That is where the beautiful flowing melodies come in to do their part. I imagine that the cancer cells really like “My Chemo Song”. And since they are curious little creatures, they cannot resist peeking around the corners of my organs to see just where that beautiful music is coming from. They creep out to take a look, knowing that they will be neutralized immediately. But they don’t care…they have to find out where that beautiful music is coming from… even if it means the end of them. And it does!
Thank you Rimsky-Korksakav for your Procession of the Nobles. Your Nobles are helping to save my life. Thank you.
