The 1992 comedy Housesitter with Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn is one of my favorites. Not only does it still make me laugh when I watch it again after all these years, but I’ve always loved the little yellow house in it. Let’s take a closer look at how they built it as a temporary standing set for the movie. I love, love, LOVE this movie! And I absolutely love the house in the movie. Where Goldie Hawn is just sitting outside the house cross legged, studying the house, and there’s the huge red ribbon sagging around the house is a perfect scene because as it is later explained, she appreciates this house, the reason for the existance of this house, whereas Steve Martin’s girlfriend does not. But the design of the house is sublime! It’s not huge, but it’s absolutely beautiful and it just flows and Goldie fills it with second hand furniture and her own personality. Available in: DVD. In this romantic comedy from director Frank Oz, Steve Martin plays Boston architect Newton Davis, an impulsive dreamer who builds a. The movie itself is wonderful, how they fall in love through lying to each other and relatives and work people which creates a real world for them. And i have to say, I lvoe Goldie’s “parents”. Such a funny movie. Have to watch it again this weekend. I fell in love-at-first-site (little play on words!) with this house! I have drawn it and reconfigured it a bit, but it is essentially the same Neo-Classical Farmhouse and I WILL build it one day! Thanks for all the interior shots. (And I have to disagree with the writer that hated the stairway I think it is a beautifully symmetrical focal point. The movie was forgettable, the house was not. I did hate the news that it was torn down after the film. What a waste. Love your blog I added it to my blog list for future reference!.-= Donna´s last blog. • Jewel says. Wow, I have always loved this house from the very first time I saw the movie as a little girl I use to dream of it! I never forgot it but late last night I couldn’t sleep and caught the movie and I fell in love with the house all over again. I came to the computer to look it up thinking/hoping maybe by chance another person in cyber space would also have loved the house and even though it was many years ago now that the movie was released posted pictures. Thank goodness for you and this website because I could not find ANYTHING any where else on this house, but your site and you have covered it beautifully! I was so excited as I scrolled down and discovered all the photos both inside and out that you have posted. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this page! • suzanne says. Well THAT (the building plans being available) explains it! When I first saw this movie last year, I SWORE I saw this house before I DID! AND, in YELLOW! I can’t remember exactly the road it was on, but it’s in the northern country area above Vacaville (probably a Vacaville address) in California. It was built in the mid-90’s, so that make sense. I remember driving by once in awhile to a friend’s house who lived out in that area, and just loving it. I never saw anyone living in it (it was freshly built), which always made me wonder. I might have to see if I can find it again and see what it looks like now. It was on a beautiful little piece of land (sans the pond) too. If I could just win the lotto! The architect (check out their website) is incredible. • Brandon says. Housesitter is one of my all-time favorite movies! I’ve been a Goldie Hawn fan since high school (when she used to be partnered with Chevy Chase). Anyways, from the moment I saw it, I, too, fell in love with the house and town where the movie was set. I looked it up on the internet and found out that it was filmed in Cohasset and Concord, MA. Since then, it has become my dream to live in a house like Davis’ and Gwen’s, in a town like Concord or Cohasset. I’d bet it looks gorgeous during Autumn, which is a season we don’t have in my country (the Philippines). House Sitting is SUCH a great idea. It is a near-perfect transaction, saving everyone lots of money and providing in-home care for thousands of VERY HAPPY PETS.

Nov 14, 2007 “Southland Tales” is a funny, audacious, messy and feverishly inspired look at America and its discontents. Dec 19, 2007 It's OK to be confused by Richard Kelly's 'Southland Tales.' For half of Kelly's epic film about the end of the world, characters are quoting T.S. Quotes [ first lines]: [ narration] In the aftermath of nuclear attacks in Texas, America found itself on the brink of anarchy. [ overlapping news reports]: World War III had begun.: The accelerated conflict in the Middle East placed significant restrictions on American access to oil. Alternative fuel sources became a lucrative commodity. Americans were transfixed by the terrorist's threat, and were willing to prevent another attack by any means necessary. Military checkpoints were erected at each State line. This is the way the world ends. Not with a whimper, but with a bang. This is a film about all of the seemingly random events that lead up to the end of the world. And it's also a comedy. That says it all right there, doesn't it? When this film ended, I ran to tell every one I could find about it. The odd thing I found about it was that I ended nearly every one of these conversations with the following: 'It was amazing, but don't see it. You won't like it.' It's strange to hope that a film I feel so passionately about should not be seen by the very people I want to discuss it with. However, that's exactly the way I feel here. This film is not for everybody; in fact, there are only a precious few out of all of the people who see it that will even tolerate its existence. But you know what? That really isn't important. Art is subjective, and no matter how many times I bother to explain a difficult concept to somebody who hated this film, I realize that it will never work long before the conversation ends. The problem is that these difficult concepts are actually very simplistic: Richard Kelly had Dwayne Johnson spoof the stereotypical, apocalyptic action-hero throughout the film. This included over-dramatic readings of his lines, delayed reactions and odd vocal dynamics. You say that it wasn't intentional, and that it was just Johnson's poor acting skills? This is where the small-minded fail to grasp the most simplistic of concepts. The great analytical film student will analyze a crooked frame and declare the brilliance of its intent; they will say that this intentional error supports the themes of the piece. So why does the same not go for Southland Tales? Each one of these already-marked actors has broken out of their shells for this movie. The fact that everybody stereotypes them attests to Kelly's genius in assigning them the roles; however, it also proves how unfortunately small-minded today's modern audience has become. Was this film a mess? Absolutely, in every sense of the word. But was it a coherent mess? That's the real question, and I think that I can safely say that it is. This film is nowhere near as difficult to understand as anybody would have you believe. The concepts are straightforward and are practically dictated to you by the narrator; this becomes essential to the understanding of the story, as there is just way too much going on to take in on your own. However, instead of hindering the film, it makes these seemingly unrelated scenes string together into a true tapestry that is worth exploring. So, you know what? I'm going to go against my own advice and advise anybody and everybody who reads this review to go out and see this film. If you don't like it, don't come back to this website whining about it, because nobody here has the tolerance to explain things to you that you will never understand. No amount of discussion of cinematography, lighting or the fantastically haunting score by Moby is going to change the mind of an already jaded viewer. But maybe, just maybe, you will like it. You'll get a chance to experience something you're likely to rarely, if never, experience again. Because as all of us who enjoyed the film know: It had to be this way.

Aug 13, 2014 Get Carter (1971) Official Trailer - Michael Caine, Ian Hendry Movie HD. Get Carter is a dark murder mystery. Set in 1960s England, it features a bad man in a world of other bad men, looking for his brother's murderers. It was adapted into a classic movie in 1971 starring Michael Caine and a lackluster movie starring Sylvester Stallone in 2000. Jack Carter walks through a spider's web of shifty English gangsters, each one dirtier than the last, trying to figure out what exactly happened to his brother. What he finds isn't pretty. Jack's conflicted feelings about his brother give the book an added dimension, keeping it from feeling like a simple revenge book. The novel is heavy on atmosphere and dialogue but short on action for most of the book. When the action finally does come, it's as brutal as a head-on collision. Pretty much everyone Jack encounters is a filthy, smegging, lying, smegging liar and it's pretty satisfying when the parties responsible for Frank's murder get their comeuppance. As I said before, the book is high on atmosphere. I kept picturing Ewan MacGregor or Jason Statham circa 2000 in the title role. I'd be surprised if a remake wasn't at least considered as a Jason Statham vehicle at some point. It could easily be dumbed down for the crap he usually stars in and it would have to be better than the Sylvester Stallone version of the film. It's easy to see why Get Carter was a big deal in Britain when it was released. Four out of five stars. 2.5 stars Classic British noir; properly titled Jack's Return Home. I understand why the film version is Get Carter; much snappier. It was written in 1970 and is actually set in Scunthorpe; my hometown, which is why I read it (the blurb is wrong, it's not Doncaster, Jack just changed trains there). The plot is fairly similar to the film, with a few variations. It is very much a book of its time and some of the dialogue is a little obscure ('she was a bit Harrison Marks'; I had to look that one up 2.5 stars Classic British noir; properly titled Jack's Return Home.

It is very much a book of its time and some of the dialogue is a little obscure ('she was a bit Harrison Marks'; I had to look that one up). The geography is a little out at times; some of the road names were accurate others not; but it wasn't far out. The descriptions of the steelworkers pubs was accurate and the casual violence of the area is true to life. The arrival of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent is depicted, along with the tensions created in the local community. The language is very strong, the women are there as sexual objects or as victims of casual violence. Now I reflect on it, the treatment of all of the female characters is brutal. Carter is an anti-hero; the only reason he is creating havoc is because it is his neice who has been exploited. If it had been someone else's he would not have been bothered. He is a cog in the wheel and ultimately stands no chance of winning. The faults outweighed the nostalgia, but I had to read it; there aren't many novels set in Scunthorpe!!

This is a very dark, hard-boiled novel and it is credited with helping start the noir school of British crime fiction. The main protagonist, Jack Carter, works for a pair of dodgy blokes named Gerald and Les who skate along the edges of the law. Jack is skating right out there with them on ice that's even thinner, given that Jack is also conducting a clandestine affair with Gerald's wife, Audrey. As the book opens, we find Jack on a train, returning to his home town of Doncaster. He's going back to attend the funeral of his only brother, Frank. The authorities report that Frank died, driving drunk and crashing his car after drinking most of a bottle of Scotch. The only problem with the official scenario is, as Jack well knows, that Frank didn't drink Scotch. Jack and Frank have been estranged for years, but Frank was still his little brother and Jack still carries very fond memories of the time they spent growing up together. Jack is also concerned about the fate of Frank's fifteen-year old daughter, Doreen, who is now orphaned. Mostly Jack is enormously pissed at the people who killed his brother and who didn't even trouble themselves enough to make the 'accident' look legitimate. Once the funeral is over, Jack begins poking around the dark underbelly of Doncaster in an effort to determine what Frank might have been involved in and who might have been angry enough with him to kill him. In the process, he's going to have to deal with a lot of lowlifes and upset more than a few apple carts. Jack couldn't care less, and when the local crime bosses decide that it's time to get Carter, Jack will only be too happy to meet them halfway. This is a lean, spare novel that's very well written and which should appeal to anyone who likes their crime fiction dark and unnerving, populated with few, if any, redeemable characters. It has more to do with the introduction to the book, written by Mike Hodges who directed the Michael Caine film classic of this, but I couldn’t stop hearing, “In a costal town, they forgot to shut down.Come Armageddon, Come Armageddon Come” in my head over and over again while reading this.

The novel opens with a lone man travelling into a city. He’s returning to the town (ok I said city, but I have my reasons) he grew up in. Don’t know, but this will unfold fairly soon. Instead it opens with this man. Him arriving. And as he starts to go about his business the reader finds out that he’s returned home because his older brother has killed himself drunk driving. He’s there for the funeral. He’s there because his brother is the boring type, the one who will only drink a half pint of bitter after work. The type that when he does go to get pissed never brings his car. He’s responsible and boring. He’s a square. In Ellroy speak, a geek. This lone man is part of the crime syndicates down in London. He’s here to bury his brother and find out who killed him, because the boring fucker wouldn’t have done this to himself. His name is Carter, and he is here for revenge. I can’t help thinking of this in light of another character who readers are introduced to as he walks meanly across the George Washington Bridge with revenge and murder on his mind. He’s even got a similar name, Parker (although Carter does have a first name, Parker is only Parker). I don’t know if Get Carter has any debts to pay to the Richard Stark series that began eight years previous to it. But it is interesting to look at Hunter and Get Carter together. Both are basically revenge books. Someone fucked with the main character and he’s going to make them pay. Parker is clear right from the get go about who is going to go kill, there may be a little mystery to it, but he pretty much knows who he has to get to. Carter, first has to play amateur sleuth to find out who is responsible for his brother’s murder. Where one is fairly straight forward crime fiction the other dabbles in the traditional mystery novel with a host of red herrings and things thrown in. Personally, I prefer crime to mystery, but both are quite enjoyable when they are done well. And Get Carter does the mystery part of the story serviceably well. The Parker novels are written in no-frills muscular prose, like the protagonist there aren’t any niceties. A job has to be done so it is done. In Get Carter, Ted Lewis is taking a page from Raymond Chandler and the prose becomes almost a character in the book. I don’t want this to sound too disparaging but there is a Literary-ness to the book, the feeling that the author is trying to transcend the genre. And from the introduction it sounds like he was, he was adding something to the crime novel as it was being written in England at the time, he was adding a roughness and some of Chandler. Chandler’s not the worst person to try to write like. His novels are possibly some of the best written pieces of American fiction of the 20th Century. But he is still a mystery writer. And straight forward mysteries are not exactly fun to read. Mysteries are convoluted. They test the reader with their sleights of hand and misdirection. In a certain sense you read them to be duped and cheated in the same way people go see illusionists to be deceived, it’s all part of the fun. Mystery’s close relative and shelf-mate Crime Fiction doesn’t deceive. The tricks reader needs to be taken along and walked along with the characters as the crime is committed. There can be some mystery involved, but big inductive leaps and trickery will tax the credulity of the reader. You want to see the intricacies that go into say pulling off a heist, but there needs to be a believability involved. That believability can’t just be taken at face value though the way that strange solutions to whodunits can and still be successful. And that is the problem I had with Get Carter. As a mystery novel and as a piece of literary fiction it was spot on. But it was also playing at being a crime novel and when the time came for Carter to seek his revenge the author couldn’t shift gears out of being a clever mystery writer and being the sort of writer that Stark is. Revenge is a serious business and doesn’t feel quite right when it’s wrapped up in too cute and clever devices that rely one an inordinate amount of coincidences (or a giant stretch of the readers imagination about the abilities of the protagonist) to pull off. For me the novel was too cute and it was the blurring of if this novel was striving to be a mystery in the classical British sense or an American crime novel that created a kind of weirdness that I found a little unsettling. The book was probably better than the three stars I gave it, but in comparing it to other crime novels that I have enjoyed and loved I found it lacking. It is a fun read though.

Having as much in common with kitchen sink dramas such as as violent revenge thrillers like the bodies still manage to pile up by the final page thanks to Carter's no holds barred attitude. Lewis really captured the time and place with his prose, the description of working class lifestyles in Britain in the 70s painted in true grim light and the attitudes are guaranteed to shock in this age of cotton wool and insane politcal correctness. Not that I'm advocating violence towards women, rape, murder and mayhem, underage pornography, bent cops, paki bashing or anything else that takes place during these three days but I think ignoring the fact that it actually used to happen and still does happen is even more absurd than those who perpetrate such things; there's no revelling in the gruesome details, this is the true bleak reality of it and Lewis makes it clear that it's not a glamourous life. Carter is a fascinating mix of hard case hitman, hard boiled hero, cocky geezer, frightened boy; regret filled and growing old, a little bit of Alfie, a major influence on The Limey and if Guy Ritchie hadn't read it he at least saw the movie before making Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. Incredibly this novel was the basis for three movie adaptations but I think it's fair to say that none of them captured the true essence of the book. Michael Caine may have come closest in 1971 but having seen it a couple of times I know for a fact it was toned down and several aspects changed despite my having forgotten the entire plot by the time it came to reading the book. Of the two American versions I would recommend the blaxploitation version Hit Man over the Stallone abomination every time. Ted Lewis died at the horribly young age of 42 but wrote several more novels after this one, I think after the brilliant promise shown in this novel I will have to check out more of his work.

Like you need me to tell you, this is a classic 'avenging angel' tale, and Jack Carter, the avenging angel, will not rest until there is full restitution for some serious sins. Putting the film to one side, the book stands on its own merits. What achieves brilliantly, in common with all great genre fiction, is to say something else about the world. In this instance he evokes the late 1960s, and the Britain I remember vividly as I grew up in the 1970s. A violent, bored, depressed place trying to come to terms with the slow death of traditional industries and pre-War certainties. Also skewers that ambiguous strata of society where criminality and respectability combine. This a world where very nasty things happen - brutality, exploitation and casual violence are the norm. ' nails the grim humour, the squalor, the boozers, the snooker halls, the fights, all wedded to a compelling tale of revenge and family loyalty. The reason the film is such an enduring classic is because Ted Lewis wrote ' (retitled ' after the film was released), a perfect crime novel, and essential reading. Anyone who enjoys this book, and is looking for something with similar qualities, should seek out 's Factory novels. Imagine set in Scunthorpe in the 1960s – a corrupt society, a cast of villains, and here’s Jack Carter, the biggest villain of the lot, back home from London and out to avenge his innocent murdered brother.

Very Jacobean and very atmospheric. When he arrives, Jack’s home town is encircled by the flames of furnaces – and his descent into hell begins. There are wonderful descriptions of people and places. Here’s our introduction to one of the local Mr Bigs: “ Cyril Kinnear was very, very fat. He was the kind of man that fat men like to stand next to. He had no hair and a handlebar moustache that his face made look a foot long on each side. In one way it was a very pleasant face, the face of a wealthy farmer or of an ex-Indian army officer in the used car business but the trouble was he had eyes like a ferret’s. They had black pupils an eighth of an inch in diameter surrounded by whites the colour of the fish part of fish fingers.” Splendid stuff and Ted Lewis had a savage eye for contemporary detail. Jack’s brother’s forlorn terraced house has all been lovingly modernized in “cherry-red formica” and “fake brassy material” – and there’s even a list of the paperback authors on his bookshelf that tell you pretty much all you need to know about ordinary, innocent brother Frank. The Mr Bigs hang out in hugely expensive but equally tasteless homes. And as for Scunthorpe – it possibly gets a raw deal, and then again possibly not. Here comes the band in a local boozer: “ While we’d been talking the band had drifted on to the stage. There was an old fat drummer in an old tux and a bloke on an electric bass and at the organ with all the magic attachments sat a baldheaded man with a shiny face, a blue crew-neck sweater and a green cravat. They struck up with ‘I’m a Tiger.’ ” Classic writing and a classic revenge tragedy. Pity that Ted Lewis has gone. Ted Lewis (1940 – 1982) was a British writer born in Manchester, an only child. After World War II the family moved to Barton-upon-Humber in 1947. He had a strict upbringing and his parents did not want their son to go to art school, but Ted's English teacher, recognising his creative talents in writing and art, persuaded them not to stand in his way. Lewis attended Hull Art School for Ted Lewis (1940 – 1982) was a British writer born in Manchester, an only child. After World War II the family moved to Barton-upon-Humber in 1947. He had a strict upbringing and his parents did not want their son to go to art school, but Ted's English teacher, recognising his creative talents in writing and art, persuaded them not to stand in his way. Lewis attended Hull Art School for four years. His first work was in London, in advertising, and then as an animation specialist in television and films (among them the Beatles' Yellow Submarine). His first novel, All the Way Home and All the Night Through was published in 1965, followed by Jack's Return Home, subsequently retitled Get Carter after the success of the film of the same name starring Michael Caine, which created the noir school of British crime writing and pushed Lewis into the best-seller list. After the collapse of his marriage Lewis returned to his home town in the 1970s. Ted Lewis died in 1982 having published seven more novels and written several episodes for the television series Z-Cars. 'Get Carter' is a tense, hard-boiled crime movie that uses, for once, as the sure possessor of all his unconscious authority. Caine has been mucking about in a series of potboilers, undermining his acting reputation along the way, but 'Get Carter' shows him as sure, fine and vicious -- a good hero for an action movie. The story follows the conventions of a detective caper whipped up, maybe, by a Ross MacDonald; but Carter is on the other side of the law. He's a London gangster come to Newcastle to avenge his brother's death, and by going against the Newcastle mob, he loses his underworld immunity. That makes him a loner seeking justice, which is what detectives like Lew Archer, Travis McGee or Philip Marlowe are. So the movie feels like a detective story, all the same. For one thing, 'Get Carter' has the sure feel for the underbelly of society, like the good American detective novelists have always had. Carter moves through a world of working-class pubs, boardinghouses managed by sad-eyed and warm-voiced widows and off-track betting parlors. This sort of proletarian detail is unusual in a British detective movie. Usually we get all flash and no humanity, lots of fancy camera tricks but no feel for the criminal strata of society. The character created by Caine is particularly interesting. He's tough and ruthless, but very quiet and charged with a terrible irony. An early scene at a racetrack, where he quizzes a chauffeur hiding behind blank dark glasses, is as good a Caine scene as anything since he found the girl in his apartment in 'The Ipcress File.' A later scene, which cinematically compares lovemaking and sports car driving, is as funny as e. Cummings' 'She being brand new,' the poem that's maybe about a Model T. The movie has a sure touch. Very early, during the titles, we see Caine taking the train to Newcastle and reading a paperback of Raymond Chandler's 'Farewell My Lovely.' This seems audacious at the time, as if director were deliberately inviting comparison with the American masters. But Hodges has the stuff, and 'Get Carter' works as well as any British crime melodrama in a long time. Now that has undertaken a series of movies as Travis McGee, I wonder if we could dust off Caine's American accent and hire Hodges to direct him as Lew Archer. I purchased 'Gammera the Invincible' at Suncoast Videos for $5.99 plus tax. It was on the sale rack, and I was honestly shocked because I think this movie is a gem to own for those who love monster movies. It's one of those flicks that you watch late at night, with a 2-liter of Pepsi and a bowl of popcorn. Better still, this is the kind of movie you watch on a lazy day after Thanksgiving, with a Turkey sandwich and a Coke. Anyone looking for serious things from this movie is going to be disappointed. These kind of movies as best enjoyed with an open mind. The special effects for the year this flick was made are actually very decent.

By Alex Welch 20th Century Fox’s animated adventure Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie tells the story of a grouchy principal who turns into the underwear-clad, super-powered invention of his two least favorite students. Based on Dav Pilkey’s children’s books of the same name, this screen adaptation manages to live up to the standards set by its source material. The film is, basically, a superhero origin story. It follows best friends George (Kevin Hart) and Harold (Thomas Middleditch), two overly imaginative kids whose constant pranks have made them an enemy of their school’s principal, Mr. Krupp (Ed Helms). When Krupp threatens to separate them permanently, George and Harold accidentally hypnotize him into believing he is actually their dim-witted superhero creation,. While the situation originally leads to various fun, tongue-in-cheek antics, George and Harold wind up needing Captain Underpants to save them when a new supervillain, Professor P (Nick Kroll), shows up with the goal of erasing the sense of humor from every living being on the planet. A principal transforms into the superhero Captain Underpants after two pranksters hypnotize him. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie summary of box office results, charts and release information and related links. Mar 22, 2017 - 3 min - Uploaded by DreamWorksTVBased on the worldwide sensation and bestselling book series, and boasting an A-list cast of. Captain Underpants has all the components of being a competent superhero origin story, but it succeeds because of the relationship between George and Harold. They're best friends who grew close to each other thanks to their similar comedic sensibilities, and who help keep the other one afloat through even the most troublesome of times. I went into Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie expecting a lot of things, but it being a legitimately heartwarming story about two friends who find joy in making each other laugh was not one of them. It also doesn’t hurt the fact that Captain Underpants is one of the funniest movies to hit theaters so far this year. The screenplay by comedy veteran Nicholas Stoller is self-referential, lighthearted, and inventive, finding new ways to make often the same set of jokes work over and over again. Wisely, he makes sure all of the film’s comedy comes from the humanity of the characters, taking the time to establish and flesh out everyone in the film in a way that most animated movies these days don’t. None of this is to say that Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is perfect. It does not reach the emotional levels or intellectual insight that could make it one of the all-time animated greats. The film’s breakneck pacing can sometimes be exhausting, especially in the third act, and there are more than a few unnecessary, irksome animation decisions throughout (such as having some characters' brains talk to each other) that pushes the absurdity just a bit too far. But even when the film is stretching the believability of its world to its very breaking point, the talents and personalities of its voice cast often help bring the film back from the edge. It’s rare that an adaptation like this is able to capture the same warmth and themes of its source material, but Captain Underpants does and it’s a joy from beginning to end because of it. After securing a major victory on the battlefield, Taketoti Washizu and one of his commanders, Yoshiaki Miki, find themselves lost in the maze-like Spider's Web forest. They come across a spirit-like seer who tells them of their future: both have been promoted because of their victory that day; Washizu will someday be the Great Lord of the Spider's Web castle while Miki's son will someday rule as Great Lord as well. When they arrive at the castle, they learn that the first part of the prophecy is correct. Washizu has no desire to become Great Lord but his ambitious wife urges him to reconsider. When the current Great Lord makes a surprise visit to his garrison outpost, Washizu is again promoted to commander of his vanguard but his wife reminds him of the danger that comes with the position. As pressure mounts, Wahizu takes action leading to its inevitable conclusion. Birgeneau R J, Walker L R, Guggenheim H J, Als-Nielsen J and Shirane G 1975 J. C: Solid State Phys.

Confused by the different service agents that are all in the area that represent DISH. To bad they push agents to always upsell stuff instead of just provide Customer Service and then based agents performance on customer surveys. Will check out for other options when contract up because pretty expensive for the little I use it. To bad they can not just provide a service that offers local channels without all the extra junk for those of us that are not full time residents.”.
