Wow. Jami Gertz apparently turned down the role of Monica on Friends.

I always hoped she'd become a big actress. I lusted after her (as much as a 10-year-old can, I guess) in The Lost Boys.

Bet she regretted that decision!

Fresh off my first drama kick I leapt into Burn Notice 2.1. I’m reminded that, as much as I resent the episodic, open-ended nature of American TV, some shows can put the elements to entertaining use. Burn Notice isn’t perfect but it also doesn’t try to be. Michael’s voiceovers can be overly emoted, the minor characters one-note, and if his family ( Read more... )

Tonight, since I don't have a part-time job to go to and I'm no longer in the habit of spending every night out of my apartment, I'm thinking of a Merlin marathon, at least as far as I've got the episodes. Maybe some Meteor Garden, thus spoiling me for Boys over Flowers but that's ok. It just means I'm on more even footing with the rest of the ( Read more... )

Plan for tomorrow: tons of cleaning and marathon of BSG 4.0. My interest level in doing either is half, so perhaps together they = 100% motivation! They could cancel each other out, but I'm psyching myself up by thinking they'll go well together. I don't have to pay much attention to the first bunch of eps because I've already seen them.

Thing is, Torchwood bores me. I found myself either drying ( Read more... )

I'm 6 minutes into 2.8 and just started on Cameron's Story. My first thoughts were "Neat, Rashomon" but had no idea they were going to ( spoilers for barely into 2.8 )

I'm not sure what requires more fortitude: reading Jacob's Weeds weecaps or trying to get through the final episodes of the fourth season ( Read more... )

Does Jacob have to recap every show? I skipped Gossip Girl recaps and now I can't read True Blood?

If I could be doing anything at all right now, I'd be at home marathoning The Sarah Connor Chronicles. bop_radar prompted me to read through TWoP recaps until I found where I left off (1.5), and I watched 1.6 and 1.7 last night when I got home from 4ps. Not the brightest idea in terms of scheduling sleep, but maybe I can channel Cameron for the next 12 ( Read more... )
