I was picking up a 6000 Watt North Carolina FM station from near Philly."

    Yeah, a decent movie, except for the horrible hollywoodish ending. I mean, come on! How can anyone destroy a movie so easily. These guys can't sleep well at night. It's like they KNOW you're not going to turn off the VCR, even though afterwards you'll regret it.
