I know, I know. I've been stuck on a House, M.D. marathon lately and I just haven't been keeping up on movies like I should.
I'm currently trying to get around to watching "Trainspotting" and "Man on Wire," the documentary about the guy who walked between the tops of the WTC in the 70's.
I may be home sick tomorrow, so that may be a good opportunity to watch "Trainspotting."
Dude. House MD is AWESOMESAUCE. I love Hugh Laurie. He makes watching it worth while for me- more so than anything else. You *have* watched the old Jeeves and Wooster series *haven't you*?? o_O

Oh and speaking of cool t.v. series and Ewan McGreggor- I can use both of those in the same sentence if I mention the fantastic television show he did a while back on BBC- you can rent DVD- well worth it.
It was actually two series- one called "The Long Way Around" where he and his best friend went from London to New York on motorcycle (except for the part where they cross to Alaska in a plane). The other is "The Long Way Down" which was a sequel where they go from London to South Africa (I think)- also on motorcycle.
If you haven't seen it (regardless of how you feel about handsome men with charming Scottish accents) he's incredibly charismatic and the show is highly entertaining and interesting because of the experiences they go through. Some really amazing scenery and interactions with other cultures. Quite a nice surprise.

These "Long Way" series sound pretty neat, I'm surprised I've never heard of them. So it's a docu-series, then, not him playing a character, right?

Yes, in the "Long Way" series, Ewan is just Ewan. A motorcycle/outdoor enthusiast and cool person.
