I've been watching House season one (except the ones on disc 5 -argh), it draws you in and Hugh Laurie is amazing - especially his accent.
I'm a sucker for medical dramas.

I just got back from watching the new James Bond film: Casino Royale. I enjoyed it very much, even though some things didn't seem to match up quite right in regards to it being a prequel to the other films. But all very enjoyable. And a very good chase sequence right near the beginning. Superb.

And, just to contrast, last night I watched "Four Weddings & A Funeral". I had never seen it all before, only bits and pieces (the very first time being with my old neighbour, as we giggled together over Hugh Grant saying the F word several times at the beginning of the film). Very much a film that either fits the British "chick-flick" mould, or created said mould. But very good indeed.

Having now watched the rest of season one of House M.D. I really want the second season - more Hugh Laurie and more Jessie Spencer is what I say...

Are you in the US? Any word as to when it's gonna be showing here in the UK? I really want to see it.

It came out 2 weeks ago in the UK. Stupid people have hardly given it any promo over here though...

The roomie and I have taken to buying a TV series on DVD and watching it straight through. We've thus far done the first six seasons of the Simpsons, all of The Critic, Dilbert: The Animated Series, the first two seasons of Arrested Development and are going to be starting Invader Zim when I return.

Life is good.

Saw this on Monday night. Probably the best film I've seen this year, or at least a serious contender. Loved it.

Rewatching the brilliant but shortlived "Firefly" on DVD with my best friend. Good God, that's a great show.

Did you hear they're coming out with an MMO based on it?

Today watched the film "The Remains of the Day" on ch.5 with Anthony Hopkins. Mainly about the staff of a Lord, I found the portrayal of the conditions of service and the rigid formality facinating.

Oh my, Christmas TV. Well, Harry Potter numero uno for a start, then Trainspotting and finally a program about the Royal Ballet School. Trainspotting is a good film, certainly makes one think. Not particularly good in the Christmas spirit though!

I watched City Of God last night. It is an incredible film, if a little disturbing.

I also watched The Big Fat quiz Of The Year, previous to that, and giggled almost constantly at Noel Fielding and Russel Brand being on a team together.

Goth Detectives! (Except neither one's a goth...)

I can't decide: is David Walliams genuinely that grumpy, or is it all an act? He always comes across as very grumpy whenever he's on TV, but it be be that it's just his stage persona.

But Mata! They were both wearing black and had black eyeliner on! How could they NOT be goffs?
BOB SKELETON- GOTH DETECTIVE
I think it is just his stage persona. If he really was that grumpy, I am sure he wouldn't be so popular on chat-shows/ programmes like the one last night.

But he's always grumpy on those shows! *confuzzled*

I watched Not Another Teen Movie at my friend's house last night. It was ...interesting.

I watched almost twenty episodes of Scrubs today. I lost count. It's been a great day. I knocked out the tail end of disc 1 as well as discs 2 and 3 of Scrubs season 4 on DVD today. Thank God for lazy days where you've nothing to do and it's too foggy and cold out to do anything else.

I've also been watching Batman: The Animated Series Season 1 on DVD (I love Mark Hammil as the Joker!) as well as "Thank You For Smoking" and the "Back to the Future" trilogy.

Eeeeee I totally loved that!!! Especially the part where they got awarded twety-somethng points for a question, and then David Walliams got in the biggest strop ever! Fantastic. And I love whoever decided that Noel Fielding and Russel Brand should be on the same team!

On new years eve I watched Tank Girl and it's awesome.

^hearts Tank Girl. What a splendidly unnecessary movie. Do you read the comics?

I watched House reruns and then an old home movie of the children's opera I was in.

Not long got back from watching Red Road with Polo, Witless, LoLo and some other friends. Kinda slow to get into, but after seeing it all the way through it does that for a reason; to show the main character's boring, dreary life. I would certainly recomend it. For me, it showed the convoluted way people deal with really shitty things that happen to them. In this case how Jackie delt with the grief of loosing her family. And twisted though the way she done it was, it was human. I cried a bit. Oh yeah, it's set in Glasgow and won awards.

I've been reccomended Fuck. I've been told it's about the idea of the word, the word itself, with a comparison to European culture, with reguards to the act of. Anyone seen it?

Oh my, I watched Pan's Labyrinth, before Christmas with Daria at the NFT* (no eating allowed ) and it was amazing. Daria and I were in tears, gripping eachother because it pulled us right in- the harshness of the real world with Ofelia's facist step father and the beautiful fantasy world she goes to. It's a pretty film and incredibly moving, expect to be sobered by it.

*Am going to see Belle de Jour whilst it's showing there, untill the 18th if anyone is interested, PM me.

(The crackers got all sticky in my hand )
I have never felt so squeamish from watching a film as I did when watching the scene where he smashed the poatcher's face in with the bottle. The image of guy with eyeballs in his eyes (and baggy skin) still scares me.

I have recently watched the entire series one of The IT Crowd on DVD after missing it when it was on TV. Amusing in many ways (from the verbal jokes, to the geeky references) but a little cliché in places, I thought.

Just got back from watching Soiled by Faulty Optic, as a late biday pressie.

It was quite different from what I expected, and certainly different from the puppetry I watched as a child! I was quite moved by it though.

Spoiler: Man falls in love with a mermaid, transports her from the fountain she lives in by bath on wheels to his home. Man's pet sparrow kills mermaid out of jealousy with scissors. Man becomes sad. Man's friend try to cheer him up. Dark scene involving a live, minute camera on a small scale set. Sparrow dies some how, but I cant remember exactly when. Man realises his lost love isn't worth moping over and feels better. Intermixed with stop frame clay animation film projection.

Pupperty is cool. Go check some out!

PS: I am going to the NFT to watch Belle de Jour tomorrow night (think it starts at 8.45) if anyone is intested, lemme know.

24 and Veronica Mars are the two best TV series on at the moment. I'm waiting for Lost to start back up again before I pass judgement on season 3.

Also, I just watched the first part of The Lost Room, an excellent tv series about a bunch of objects with crazy mystical powers and the conspiracies that surround them. It'd make a great street level Unknown Armies game.

Been trying to watch top gear when I can, I love that show.
Also Family Guy, a bit of the Simpsons. Also tonight I was going to watch an Inspector Montalbano movie, I really like them, but I missed it.

Bam's Unholy Union

<3Bam<3

All I really only watch on TV these days are....

PRISON BREAK!!!-Can't get enough of this show! Just ask the people who missed me as I locked myself in my room after getting season 1 for xmas!

MY NAME IS EARL!- Love this show, it is freakin' HILARIOUS!

And of course my guilty pleasure...those damn Beverly Hills 90210 reruns!

The horrendous Dead Poet's Society because my English teacher is too lazy to actually teach. I'm fairly certain that it's the worst movie ever made. Worse than Poltergeist 2. Worse than Free Willy 2. Worse than I, Robot.

Shrek because it's funny and I'm bored.

House! Oh my gosh, House! Season 3!

I came home yesterday after my exam (3 hours on a train) so that I could watch last weeks episode (that my parents recorded for me) and yesterdays episode. I love it!!

I also watched last weeks Dr Who (again recorded by my lovely parents) which was awesome. I'm still not a huge fan of Martha though, she just annoys me a bit.

Wytu made me watch Primer- and I am glad he did. It is geekily awesome, and a little confusing. Perfect film

After reading that I wanted to know more about Primer so I looked it up and saw the word "Sundance" which is always a good way to make me excited about a film.

So I just watched Primer. It is geeky, awesome, and very very confusing. So confusing, in fact, that its wikipedia page actually needs diagrams to show how the film works.

I think I need to wait for my brain to cool down, then watch it again.

I like Prison Break too, But to my annoyance, i keep missing it

Anywho has anyone seen Spiderman 3 and is it any good?

Prison Break rocks.

Primer is either the most pretentious film I've seen for a long time or the smartest, I don't know which.

Spiderman 3: I've not seen it yet, but all reports I've heard say it's not very good 'but the effects are decent'.

Hey guys: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End rocks. Seriously. Awesomely. Maybe goes on a little too long, but still rocks.

Heh, I thought it was the worst film I've seen this year. When I watched it in the Manchester AMC, we all cheered when it was over.

I've just finished watching seasons 1, 2 & 3 of the latest Battlestar Galactica. Awesome stuff.

The new Battlestar G. is superb, isn't it? I've not got season three going yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Prison Break continues to be buttock-clenchingly exciting. It's the last episode of season two next week... Can they possibly make a season three? Actually don't answer that, it would change my (lack of) expectations!

Yeah, BSG is fantastic. I can't wait for Season 4 to arrive this autumn.

I remember when a customer at Music Zone asked my wife (who was managing the place at the time) if she had 'House' in stock. To clarify, my wife asked if the customer meant the films or the TV program. The customer just nodded like she was talking to an infant and said "yeeeess... 'Hoooouuse'...."

My wife and I don't especially miss retail...

Lately I've been tucking into the complete Farscape box I picked up off Amazon Marketplace. 42 discs of nerdy sci-fi joy.

Throwing my hat into the 'Pirates...' ring, I enjoyed the last one very much. It is the equivalent of '...Jedi', though - worst of the three, with a little too much novelty. Wheras the second one is 'Empire...' through and through, right down to the likeable good-guy being heavily inconvenienced at the end, except inside a slobberly sea monster rather than carbonite.

Excellent trilogy all round. I just hope to f@ck that they don't get all prequelly on us...

Family Guy's on in the background.

With my moneys recently obtained (see Watchoo Playin'), I've been investing in some media. Games, DVDs, music... I'm a sucker for a sale. Thus far I purchased four seasons of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the first season of "The Boondocks," "The Big Lebowski," "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy." It's been good stuff.

Been meaning to post this for a while. Spidey 3 was okay, but still about a million times better than some film called Delta Farce. It was funnier too. So much for Delta Farce being a 'comedy'. Don't think it's in theaters anymore, but if it is, don't watch it.

Delta Farce pissed me off on about ten million levels, the primary few being that:

a) the title "Delta Farce" seems like a title given in the earliest stages of writing the script so that execs would know immediately what it was about

only two of the four "Blue Collar Comedy" guys were in it. If goddamn Ron White and Jeff Foxworthy are too good for your movie, it's going to suck. Hard.

c) it took away from "Hot Fuzz" so much so that my local theatre didn't carry it and I have to wait for HF to come out on DVD just so a bunch of yuppies can pretend to be rednecks and here Larry the Cable guy say "Git er done" for the thousandth time.

d) the trailers gave me four or five types of herpes just by watching them.

e) all of the obvious reasons this movie would suck (i.e. script, acting, directing, and even the putrid film it was printed on.)

I just got back from seeing the latest Harry Potter movies, and I gotta say I was very impressed. I was worried that like with Goblet of Fire, they'd try to cram in too much and end up ruining the whole thing but it was really well done, and nicely paced. Sitting in cinema seats for so long is never a good feeling, but the film itself is just the right length, the special effects work really well and all three leads show they can actually act in this one.

Also, like a great many people over on Imdb, I have now completely fallen for Natalia Tena, the actress who plays Tonks.

Just obtaining the first two episodes of Dexter, Season 2. They've been leaked as advance screenings.

If anyone hasn't seen the first season, seriously check it out. It's about a serial killer who happens to work as a forensics analyst, specialising in bloody splatter for the Miami-Dade Police Department. The catch is that he's a killer with a conscience - he will only kill people who he deems to deserve it and is sure of their guilt; in the first episode we see him offing a paedophile.

But yeah, seriously, check it out. It's a great show, really well filmed, with some solid performances in it. Can't wait until I can watch the first two episodes of season two.

I watched Hair Spray at the weekend and it was awesome. I was going to write more, but I just started babbling and .. yeah. Just go see it. You will love it.

^ I just watched Hairspray and thought it was awful. John Travolta, what's happened to him?!

For anime, I watched Howl's Moving Castle, the cheesy lines never fail to choke me. I also watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, which was a little odd, and the ending didn't really tie up very much. Finally I started to watch Grave of the Fireflies which looks really good and may possibly be a serious anime movie, however the beginning was a little too scary/saddening so I'll have to finish it another day.

I watched Marie Antoinette which I thought was done nicely, with some little quirky touches (e.g. she's trying on shoes and lying around are Converse boots, despite being in the 18th century). I saw Harry Potter 5 on Friday too although was a little disappointed because it seemed to be in a bit of a hurry to get all the plot in. It was still good though, if not as good as the other of the Harry Potter movies.

Oh! I also saw She's The Man which although is horrendously cheesy, impossible and generally shallow, is quite funny and very enjoyable (especially when Channing Tatum takes off his shirt).

Wow! I have watched a lot over the past 4 days!

Edit: Just watched The Blues Brothers. Absolutely fantastic. Great songs, incredible cast and a car chase comparable to that in the Italian Job (the old one...). Also very very funny too.

What am I watching? A lot actually, but here is just a few shows I care to talk about:


Scrubs: My number one favourite show ever. Even though last season hurt me. I love Zach Braff and Dr. Cox is my hero.

House MD: Hugh Laurie is brilliant. His accent is so good that I didn't even know he was British until I looked him up on the "internets" and I started watching...

Jeeves & Wooster: I heart PBS (I'm American, and PBS is the one stop shop for anything culturally diverse on TV. ).

And for my dose of schadenfreud (sp), "America's Funniest Home Videos". Tom Bergeron is hot for an older fellow.

I used to watch a lot of Buffy: the Vampire Slayer.

MST3k and it's movie.

That's about it.

EDIT: Oh wait, Zach Braff's "Garden State". I love that movie.

Jeeves & Wooster, now that is good television!

I've just got through the third series of Lost and I'm annoyed that I'll have to wait until January until I get my next dose! I'm having withdrawal... Although this is mitigated by having just started on season three of Battlestar Galactica, and after that I've got Heroes lined up. Absolutely everyone at work tells me that I must watch this program and it seems to turn up in every conversation with them, so I figure I really should get around to it.

I got Firefly and Serenity for my birthday and I watched it all in just over 24 hours at the end of last week.

I've also been watching far too much Disney Channel than is healthy along with a lot of film4!

Just watched the film Seven. It was fairly fun in the way that you could try to guess how the killer would kill the other sinners, and also at times you found yourself agreeing with him momentarily which was quite clever on the film's part however it wasn't a great movie for thinking, and I was hoping for more blood and gore.

Goodbye Lenin! Cute and funny and sad, all in German! I love German!
