G4 airs awesome movies. I watched Predator last night. G4 shouldn't be excused either, as they show most of the old James Bond movies ad-nauseum. They do air some awesome movies though. Plus, at the end of the movie, you get trivia from Alison. What's not to love?  |

While we're at it, why do these rambo marathons always skip over Rambo 3? Is Rambo 3 the one where he is in Afghanistan? If so, that one should be played solely for the scene of Rambo jamming a grenade in the Russian dudes mouth. . Or when he uses Gun Powder to blow out the shrapnel in his wound. |

FX is, or was the worst. I remember in 2006-07 (08?) they would have Spiderman 2 on literally every other day...

That's nothing on USA and the freaking House marathons they used to have once a week. At least they slowed down with that, and they're having a White Collar/Burn Notice marathon on Sunday.

I'm almost clueless as to what they do on tv. I swear it used to make me angry with all the bullshit they do. You cannot tell me they are even trying, which is what really pisses me off. They should be shamed of themselves for having the luxury of owning a tv channel and not doing anything with it.
Now it's pretty much just dvds and minimal channel surfing for me

I don't understand how Spike can still get great ratings for these SW marathons. I can imagine the first few doing well, because some people like marathons, but after the 20th time? The 40th?
Spike is supposedly a "guy" channel (more or less). Why not a Rambo marathon? A Man With No Name marathon? Dirty Harry? War movies? Car chase movies? Smutty comedies? Disaster movies?
Why anyone would want to watch a movie on commercial tv is beyond me anyways. Commercial interruptions, horrible editing, god awful censoring, etc...ick.

No one says you have to watch that channel.. thank you very much... the only thing worse than Spike showing Star Wars all the time...(which they really don't) is the fact that people feel the need to make a thread about it every time... cripes people...get over it and change the channel... |

Honestly, and this is just a guess, but I think they get such good ratings because Star Wars is awesome background noise. I turn it on pretty much everytime Spike shows them, and go about my day doing house work, working on the computer, reading etc. I have a feeling alot of people are like me |

While we're at it, why do these rambo marathons always skip over Rambo 3? Most likely political reasons, which I'm not going to get into............And neither is anyone else. |

I dunno, I see Rambo III all the time on TV. "Who are you!" "...your worst nightmare...." That's the best damn line of the bunch and it's from III.  |

Well, you see George considers Star Wars a religion at this point, and requires a weekly airing on Sunday as part of the contract.
