In
1987, in Boise, football coach Jim White is chastising his players for
an underwhelming half. Jim gets into a verbal altercation with one of
the players, resulting in Jim throwing a football shoe with cleats at
him. Following this incident, Jim is forced to move with his wife,
Cheryl, and two daughters, Julie and Jamie. They settle down in
McFarland, California, a predominantly Hispanic town. On their first
night there, the family goes to a small restaurant and leaves to find a
large gathering of Latinos in cars surrounding the place. One man makes
suggestive motions toward Julie, prompting the family to leave faster.
White starts his new job as the life science/PE teacher and assistant
football coach at school. During Jim's PE class, three boys, the Diaz
brothers Danny, Damacio, and David, are forced by their mother to
leave. During a later PE class, Jim sits on the bleachers and watches

ReplyDeleteI hope this is not too late to get an answer out of you Rog, or from one of your readers. A few days ago I ordered a few things from Amazon.com and I inadvertently clicked on the free Amazon Prime button. Then I thought, I'll give it a try for 30 days.
Tonight I decided to watch a movie that was included in the 30 day Free/$99 per year membership. I found out that I do not have a "Supported Device" to watch the movie. I'm told that I can only download on my wife's I-Pad or my Android and I don't want to watch movies on those small screens.
I thought that I could watch it on my computer, thru my TV via my DirecTv hook-up and even burn a DVD copy. OK, I thought, I guess that I'll have to rent one or buy one to do that. NOPE! Still can't.
And even if I bought a copy for myself I can't copy it on a DVD, only download it into a "Supported Device" which to me doesn't sound like a purchase at all.
For years I had been copying my purchased VHS movies on my dual-deck Go-Video, since it would over ride the copy guard, and then transferring the copy to DVD. So, whenever I "Bought" a video it was truly mine and in a longer lived format.
What I'd like to know - Do any of the streaming video sources, like Amazon and Netflix, have the capability to stream directly to your computer, TV and DVR?
I've already cancelled the Amazon Prime when my 30 day freebie runs out. At least I got free shipping on the 3 BBQ/cooking items we ordered.
