What Are You Watching?, Films and TV Options

[Mata]

Well, we've got other threads like this, so let's continue the set.

There are actually quite a lot of series that I'm enjoying at the moment:

Startrek: Enterprise (season 4, 3 was good, four is working out very well. They're finally in their stride and it's a shame that this is the last one)

Alias (season 4, it could do with the Rimbaldi plotline again in my opinion, without it it's still a very stylish spy thriller, but it's lost some of the heart I think)

Dead Like Me (season 2, it's a slow burner this series, but it just keeps getting better. Well worth sticking with and this season has had some real laugh-out-loud moments as well as some genuinely emotional bits. Great stuff.)

Smallville (season 4 I think, maybe 3. Things have got a bit silly this time around, but it's still enjoyable watching all the pretty people, and a bad episode of this is still ten times better than a good episode of something like Mutant X.)

24 (season 4, perhaps this is losing it's way a bit, but I still enjoy how preposterous the whole thing is. Great fun.)

Doctor Who (season umpteen, just fantastic)

I think the last film I saw at the cinema was Constantine, which I really loved. CGI, angels and demons, Keanu Reeves... Great stuff. Just my kind of film!

So, what have you been watching?

Rented The Life Aquatic With Stive Zissou and thoroughly loved it. Bill Murray has a very bad habit of making me laugh, though to be fair the other big-names in the cast were pretty fantastic as well. I did not recognize Owen Wilson until about the second half-hour in, and Cate Blanchett was similarly odd. I looved the soundtrack, but now am very curious to find out what language those Bowie songs were it. French? Dutch? Klingon?

At any rate, watch it because it is very good.

I've also become addicted to this terrible TV show called *deep-voiced-announcer* Fight for Fame, although it ought to be Fight for an Agent Very Crappily. Struggling actors have to convince the president and representitive agent of a big agenting business that they are good enough to get their very own agent, and encounter along the way

-a photographer who *gasp* photographs some soap stars!!
-a producer who produced FIFTY FIRST DATES!!
-an acting coach who coached some other soap stars!!!

Which all-in-all works out to a damn amusing half-hour.
