I should be doing about 101 other things right now (like typing up notes from a team meeting that was held yesterday... wooo;)) but I am doing this instead.

It also stops me from ranting about users who are told exactly what the library procedures are to help them with their dyslexia are and then go and ignore it and lecturers who do not ( Read more... )

I saw it last week, and enjoyed it. Sorta. I found it heavy, both directorially (is that a real word ?:o)} and visually. And yet there were elements that I did enjoy. Yes, the scene in the cantina with the young girl playing Mozart on an out of tune piano; the fact that TLJ's character was volatile and unhinged. But most of all that the whole film was based on lies. Everyone in the film lies. The culture that they exist in is based upon untruths and half truths and down right lies. I didn't even have sympathy for the women.

I am glad I went to see it. But disappointed that it was more of a film. It had potential to be something better.

Oh, no! Not another ST film *$&^ Sorry, but after the Enterprise copped it, that should be it. Unless of course they want to do something along the lines of DS9, which was my favourite.

And B5 - what can one say? I have now got my youngest son hooked, and he has said he will buy me the Season 5 box set just as soon as he can afford it. Bless!

B5 was everything ST wasn't. And it knew that the end was just that. To see MJS setting the charges that will destroy B5 had me speechless with wonder and admiration. The five year story line was pure genius, and meant that you had to keep your wits about you to follow the plots and sub-plots. Intelligent television. Which proves that is not always an oxymoron.
