Fifteen Questions About Some Stuff

The poll urge was really bad tonight. Thus this is especially long and the questions are especially unrelated. ;)

I don't answer the phone if the person I live with for the time being is there, and if they're not, nobody rings me, anyway, so I never answer it if can help it. Otherwise, doesn't it rather depend on how far from it you are?

I think Desperate Housewives is lame. Some of it might not be, and I supported Bree before ever even saw any (despite probably not agreeing with many of her opinions), but still. As for Hitchcock, haven't seen much. Rear Window in part, the end of North by, and the comedy one with the corpse, which I think was the first one listed. Haven't seen Atonement or Sideways either, or played Guitar Hero, and Brad Pitt is provisionally lame, or in parts, depending on what you focus on. No idea who the hell Elliot Smith is, but Flight of the Concords comes to mind as seeming lame, too, since refuse to check any videos out. It only just started here 2 weeks ago, but overlaps with something I'd rather watch, since hype -> hello, goodbye. It looks wrong and unfunny.

I think I would've liked frying pans as well though. And it's the person who can't change, but you provided third option, which just had to be taken. Never saw the "scary" shows I didn't tick. Plus I obviously have fabulous taste in TV shows nobody's ever heard of.

Desperate Housewives is totally lame, but the show knows how lame it is and I appreciate this - I love it in all its lame glory. And I especially love Bree, yes. ;)

Plus I obviously have fabulous taste in TV shows nobody's ever heard of.

Obviously. Or at least, you definitely have some kind of taste in shows I've personally never heard of. :P

Oh, don't worry, I'm sure my fave shows are much more lame than yours. TR2070 is based on Philip K. Dick's worlds and Blade Runner more so than the Arnie movie. Very dark world, but yet another cancelled after one series scifi thing.

CN:E is where my icon up there came from, also from '99, with aliens masquerading as humans to turn our atmosphere into breathable for their own form. I bet you're looking for downloads already, but yeah, Mr. Banning the main villain was such an mmmm-inducing case of villainy I loved watching whatever he did. Although without feeble narrative laws of good guys always winning no matter what the odds, he'd've won within the first couple of episodes what with his resources and futuristic tech or weapons to target DNA or anything. Potential for camp gayness also existed, and I suppose pretty boy lead + handsome man guest villain potential, but it wasn't exactly a hit I imagine. I just gained tremendous amounts of fun from most sides of it, including having something to pin the global warming and current state of environmental woes on. Blame the (stronger, smarter, faster than us) aliens.

Heartbeat is a British semi-soap (only ~6 episodes per season, hence not a real soap), with 18 seasons of jolly good ole 60s Yorkshire village life of village bobby + district nurses, and jolly ole rogues and their less than smart helping hands and whatnot. What fabulously quirky tastes I have, right?

I meant to start watching DH when Kyle MacLachlan appeared, but it was never on at a good time really, plus he didn't seem to elevate it enough to grab me. I suspect I'll have to check out the Conchords sometime, too, what with it being on telly and late enough as well.
