Your tv show reviews
Saw Stardust over the weekend. It's your standard romantic fantasy quest, so I found the book so boring I never actually finished it. Course, it also goes to show you that even the most boring Neil Gaiman book ever makes for a cool movie. (I'm holding out for Good Omens.) Robert de Niro was fabulous, and the seven princes made for hilarious entertainment. Liz and I were the youngest people in the audience, barring a couple of couples that brought the kiddies. The gentleman two seats over from me kept snoring. That was pretty funny.
J.C. and Katie were/are in town. (How coupley- it's J.C. and Katie, not just Katie or J.C.) One was in for the weekend, the other left yesterday, in opposite directions, and they both made off with my Fables books. I was too sleepy to stop them. (After large meals, I have to be given time to digest, so nyah.) Katie also made off with season four of Bab5, which delays me finishing that up even further.
Speaking of tv shows, I've been watching season one of Lost. It's Survivor: Tahiti for pretend people instead of "real" people. Except instead of getting voted off the island, you get eaten by the monster in the jungle. I haven't decided whether I like it or not- I've eight more episodes to go. The mystery has been fun- what's the monster on the island? Where'd that dude who wasn't on the plane come from? Is the French lady mostly insane or entirely insane? (The French lady, speaking of Babylon 5, is Delenn! I squeed when I recognized her voice while she was torturing the Iraqi guy.)
The main characters drive me insane though. There's the redneck asshole confidence man who nobody has yet to kill, even though I want to strangle him every time I see him and so do they. There's the chick who was kickass- or at least interesting- in the first episode, and has since turned into a weepy bitch (seriously, she cries in every episode) who is torn between her attraction to the asshole redneck who keeps hitting on her and the take-charge doctor who just wants her to stop lying about everything. (It's a tough decision, I know.) The pregnant girl was a sweetheart until they gave her amnesia in the last episode I watched and turned into a paranoid bitch. Let's not even get into Malibu Barbie and her stepbrother (I'm traumatized after the last episode, where it flashbacks to her plastered and jumping him because she's horny and emotionally vulnerable after her latest boyfriend took the money she scammed her brother out of and ran.)
So the debate rages on. Do I care enough to prove my military bunker theory to have to wade through the soap opera drama?
