1. Man, I don't have cable right now

But when do you get a chance to catch four Dorothy Dandridge movies in a row? I may have to go to my friend's house and assume control of his television.

2. Caught "The Harlem Globetrotters ..."

I remember seeing it on Cleveland TV when I was a kid (or was that the sequel, "Go Man Go&quot ?

Anyway, pretty good B Movie. Dorothy Dandridge -- what a sweetheart.
