Episode was GREAT this past Sunday. I knew the case they were referring to, although I didn't know much about it other than he killed a bunch of nurses. Just another inadequate man who takes it out on women but let's not talk about the fact that serial and mass murders overwhelmingly target women--can't start a conversation, we might actually ( Read more... )

Am completely addicted to Game of thrones now--I watched the pilot, didn't really get into it but then started watching it a few weeks ago. LOVE IT. I am finishing up a Clio entry on the historical parallels. Love it, love it, finished all of season 1 last night ( Read more... )

Dallas is starting up production again! Aw yeah!

I'll have to change my ringtone back to the theme :)

Last night I went over to Tesse's for our weekly Mad Men date. Okay, Matthew Weiner? You need to stop writing Betty as misogyny-bait. I get tired of Betty doing something to her kids that is going to provoke a torrid flood of shitty comments about how horrible she is. I know, I know--the only good female characters in MM are Peggy and Joan. ( Read more... )

I've seen this one several times now but it never fails to make me laugh. "Smoke and drink constantly."



Love this show, can't wait!

Robert Culp, "Bill Maxwell," the hyper-anti-commie FBI agent in The Greatest American Hero is dead.

I loved that show and he was hilarious in it. Rest in peace, Mr. Culp.

Jump the Shark has itself jumped.

I didn't watch that show religiously or anything when I was a kid, but I did watch it, although since I never read the books as a kid, the whole prairie girl fad (including Holly Hobbie, although I did have some HH merchandise) missed me. (I did however read ( Read more... )

I just upgraded my cable package to get Showtime (quite a step for me--I never get the premium channels, that's what Netflix is for). Showtime is premiering a new series in April called The Tudors--it's about Henry VIII mainly. They're saturating the subways with print ads that make it look quite fun--they're trying to market it as a kind of ( Read more... )

I downloaded a couple of albums last night from iTunes--The Goodbye Girl and The Wedding Singer. I used to have the first one but I lost the tape a few years ago. It's not a bad score--some of the songs are quite sweet, like "I Think I Can Play This Part" and "Paula." "Richard Interred" is also very clever. The score doesn't blow me away exactly ( Read more... )
