So I haven't updated this journal since May. Sorry about that! I'd love to say I've been insanely busy but really I just seem to never getting around to updating things. Since that last occasion, I've made the trek down to Richmond with

So I've gone off an another ballet bender. I did this two years ago when I wound up watching a batch of ballet documentaries on Netflix and Paris Opera Ballet's "Jewels"CW/Hulu must have realized I was craving more because this summer I've obsessively watched "Breaking Pointe", their 5-episode reality show about the behind-the-scenes at Ballet West ( Read more... )

IMDB has the pilot of "Once Upon a Time" available for free. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I agree with one reviewer that the two sides need to gel together a little better but maybe that'll come with other episodes. I wish Jennifer Morrison still had her darker hair.

( So what are we watching these days? )

Who needs Bentos when you can have Big Damn Lunchbox?! And a new comic book mini series as well from the early days of Firefly. I was a little eh on the interior artwork for the original mini, but we'll see ( Read more... )

Okay, so I liked that ad...

Why aren't the original Bionic Shows on dvd: With the new "Bionic Woman" on NBC, TV Guide's dvd guy answers the bigger question. Where are the original series? Sadly it sounds like a classic case of something tied up in licensing hell -- one group owns one part, another owns the other and ne'er the twain shall meet. ( Read more... )
