An Open Letter to HBO
Dear HBO,
I am a huge fan. I love "The Sopranos," "Curb Your Enthusiasm,” "Deadwood," "Big Love," and almost everything else sent my way.
I love Saturday night boxing in HD, comedy specials and original movies. HBO On Demand is also great, as it features plenty of movies and re-runs to keep me up for hours past my bedtime (or deadline).
BUT, I am growing concerned, very concerned, about those at the Home Box Office who feel we need to watch “The Lake House” more than once a week or any other crappy new movies that debut on Saturday nights. Simply put: Network programmers are re-airing the same bad movies way too often. Hello, "War of the Worlds."
“The Lake House,” which stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, sent me over the edge. It’s on AGAIN tonight on HBO. Amazingly, TV guide gives it two stars. Wow. I am just amazed by that. This chick-flick is terrible, even my wife agrees.
Please change it up a bit. Dig up some quality movies from the 70s, 80s or 90s. Just because it’s a new movie, doesn’t make it any good or worth showing more than once a week.
A true fan and loyal subscriber,
Andy Ravens

I agree! The movies they play are terrible, and they play them over and over again. I look forward to watching HBO whenever I'm staying at a hotel (I don't get it at home) and there are never any good movies playing.
