In relation to the subject of movies, I am very grateful to be able to get the Independent Film Channel on my cable service. It and the Sundance Channel, which I used to get, show the type of interesting and compelling movies that are pushed aside during the Oscar season by such gilttery monstrosities as Chicago. In fact i have often said that there should be an independent film category at the Oscars, allowing for more film diversity. Last year, the winner of such a category would proabaly have been Memento.
