It appears reports of its death are premature. I e-wailed of its death last night to my son who, bless his terse little heart, responded with a timeliness that never occurs if I'm merely trying to check up on his continued existence, "Try this: http://109.236.83.66/"

Yes, take that! You internet oppressors, you! I wonder when this will show up on ( Read more... )

I've wanted to see this old Mitch Leisen comedy since, oh 1973 or thereabouts, and today I got to watch it on TCM. The script was by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder, so predictably there were some wonderful zingers, and I absolutely adored Rex O'Malley as the witty and naughty best friend of the cheating wife (the equally wonderful Mary Astor).

Darn it. Fox has moved Fringe to Thursdays at 9pm. So now the Supernatural competition is Grey's Anatomy, CSI, The Office/30 Rock, and Fringe. And it's choir night, so I'm limited to two programs on the DVR. Goodbye, Office. It was nice knowing you.

The studio should consider releasing the Supernatural Season Four DVD set earlier this summer, to ( Read more... )

Before it's too late, I'm going to make one prediction for tonight's ep: the real Ruby is still down in Hell, and new!Ruby (of the completely different personality) is a different demon who's been manipulating Sam on behalf of her Hellish superiors all season and will get her glorious comeuppance tonight. Okay, actually I have no clue, but Ruby as ( Read more... )

Smallville wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and Supernatural was even better than I thought it would be. Win-win.

( Spoilers for Supernatural 4.19 )

Stupefied, pretty much sums it up for me. Julie Siege has some balls (or the female equivalent). But what I really, really want to read are some fanboy reactions. Stupefied fanboys, preferably. Ranting would be good.

According to the Urban Dictionary, "meep" is "the most versatile word in the English language, or in fact any language!" and definition 1.1 of its many meanings is "ouch or uh-oh.." It therefore perfectly describes how I feel about tonight's Supernatural.

I have watched the extremely spoilery SPACE promo for the ep, and feel the same way about it I ( Read more... )

This post at Supernatural Sisters was my first indicator that Sam and Dean, or versions thereof, had made their way over to published fiction, so it didn't take me too far into Havemercy to recognize their influence. The authors of this fantasy about an aerial unit of metallic, magical dragons and their riders are young, video game playing, manga ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a weird mixture of horror and exhilaration. I'll need to rewatch to sort out my feelings, but the episode title sure didn't lie. However I am wishing it had more of the gratuitious male nudity that was so striking in tonight's Smallville. Now that show knows how to pander to its audience, for good or evil.

So, so, so relieved. After the horrible Family Remains and the lightweight Criss Angel episodes, I was wondering if my faith in Show was misplaced, and my efforts to make my brother a Supernatural convert misguided. Tonight was vastly more satisfying, from both an emotional and aesthetic point of view. I anticipate much squee; in fact, I'm off to ( Read more... )
