I've been busy as hell and caught behind a poky net connection, so I've just caught up on the last two weeks of SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES and DOLLHOUSE. Mixed bag for SCC: one crappy, one really damn solid. DOLLHOUSE is... still DOLLHOUSE. Improving, but the more you watch it the more you realize: the workaday office life of the Dollhouse itself ( Read more... )

My Valentine's Day: I went kite flying, got a gun out of the repair shop, and caught up on the TV I missed Friday because I went to catch the new FRIDAY THE 13TH. (Short verdict: different, but not a bad reinterpretation; the kills are pretty good, some very good, and Derek Mears gives good Jason.)

Last night, I watched two sequels with my friends Ash and Denise. One was FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. The other was PREDATOR 2.

...I am never, ever, going to knock PREDATOR 2 again.

( Wow, FF:ROTSS sucked. )

tsukiwriter uploaded a clip of the new SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY movie to YouTube. I am glad of this, because otherwise I would have just had to tell you guys how insanely gay the direct-to-video SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY is, and you won't believe it until you've seen the clip (posted by Tsuki to scans_daily, but I dunno how many of you are watching that comm these days ( Read more... )

neonhummingbird had this to say about the first season of TORCHWOOD, which she liked better than I did:

That sums up my feelings about TORCHWOOD in a nutshell.

( I like watching shows about people who are good at their jobs. This is not that show. )

TORCHWOOD officially has the worst vetting procedures of any organization ever. EVER. I mean, Jack Harkness has a killer grin and great style, but my God is he shit for personnel ( Read more... )

Went to the flicks today; caught PAN'S LABYRINTH, which was okay but didn't set me on fire the way I'd hoped it would, and CHILDREN OF MEN, which was annoying in some ways but a better movie. I haven't read P.D. James's novel, but the film's dystopia is such a politically correct dystopia (meaning, it's evil in the sense that if you're a die-hard ( Read more... )

Today was a day for staying in and getting caught up on TV I've missed. So far, I'm up on DOCTOR WHO and SUPERNATURAL (about which comments later), and am now working on THE WIRE. I'm in episode three of the latter, and just had to pause the viewing to say: Omar's trip to the store in his pajamas = OMG HEART ( Read more... )
