American Hot Rod - Parts 1 To 13 DVD

Advantages: 2 episodes 1 disc.
Disadvantages: Not For The Experienced Angler

...Andy Little is a renown angler and has been an angling journalist for many years. What he doesn't know about angling isn't worth worying about. This dvd is broken down into 2 episodes. The first part teaches you about tackle, bait, rigs, line choice and a look into Andys tackle box. The second part teaches the basics of watercraft and what tactics you should use in different situations. So lets start with How to take up coarse fishing part 1. Rod choice = 12ft two piece, 2 3/4lb test curve with a fast action. This rod will allow you to fish for carp at distance. The power a fast action rod produces not only alows you to cast great distances but also gives you great strength to play large hard-fighting carp that you may have hooked 100yds away. 12ft two piece 1 3/4lb test curve with a through action.

Advantages: Hilariously stupid, no sex, fun for all the family
Disadvantages: It's only 88 mins long

Advantages: Classic film, terrific soundtrack of oldies, great cast
Disadvantages: nothing as far as im concerned

The film was made in approximately 27 nights with lots of classic hot-rod vehicles, plenty of local color, as well as exploring the themes of lost innocence and going into the unknown after graduation. (Bonus: Oh, man, do I love those roller-skating waitresses!) If you look at all of George Lucas' movies, they all have to do with a main character who is taking responsibility with their life...
