Went to see a random Japanese movie called Always Sanchōme no Yūhi when in Budapest the other day, and running into an artsy-fartsy movie theatre with friends. Basically about life on a random street in a low-class district of post-WWII Tokyo. Was sappy as hell, and I get the feeling that the...

None of the revelations of this episode shocked me with their retardedness, really. Mostly because I, after the revelation of "ZOMG!Tigh has been a Cylon all along", I was not expecting a resolution that wasn't retarded, and what we got made more sense than I was expecting, really. Damn it was...

Pretty sure the girl was not young Rousseau. British accent instead of a "French" one, wrong hair colour, wrong name, wrong age, wrong setting, wrong name. I'm next to certain the girl we met was Mr. Hawkings.

I was actually thinking he was less worried about it going off, and more worried about it radiation leaks. Though who knows. Faraday, of course, matches the general theme on Lost of having character names match up with the names of big thinkers (Faraday, Hume, Locke, Rousseau) .. I only now...

Snotty European moment coming up. There should be laws against American actors speaking Latin in movies and in TV series, lest they receive intense coaching. "See placette .. see placette" Ugh. OK. Enough snotty Europeanness. Got some definite theories after this episode that I'm sure...

In the old days, European nations fought deadly wars every few years. Now we have the Eurovision Song Contest. Some say Europe has become a more peaceful and loving place. When in fact, Europe has just ascended to a new level of evil.

I, too, agree with what KF said. I'm pretty annoyed about the attitude film-makers recently have, though, that anything directed to young people has to be stupid. Films for young people don't have to be stupid - just think of, say, "Spinal Tap" or "School of Rock". Definitely geared at a...

Oi. Don't diss Mamma Mia. ;)

For me, he'll be the guy that took the explanation for what the hell happened at the end of the Prisoner to the grave. You win this time, McGoohan. :wtf: I loved him in everything I saw him in, though. Well, can't say I loved him Braveheart, as I don't remember him from Braveheart. Or anything...

What I find especially annoying is .. when watching TV shows on the web, and being given the same damned add for the same bad movie in every single add break. This was "Paul Blart, Mall Cop" just recently. Wasn't going to watch it the first time, wasn't going to watch it the gazillionth time...

You know, this is another thing that has bothered me. They've got spines that glow kinky red when they have sex, but with Galactica's extensive medical resources, they are not able to determine a way to distinguish between humans and Cylons?

My own crazy theory: They're not really on Earth. Have we seen a nice shot of the planet from space? Have we seen the continents? I honestly do not remember.

Died at the age of 88 This has been a rubbish day for geeks.

Yeah, this has been bothering me too. Especially when seeing bits and pieces of the Republican primary debate, and more than half the guys brought up Jack Bauer when asked if they would ever authorize torture. "If a clock was ticking, and Jack Bauer .." Er, yeah. Show me one historical...

fuck.

I've probably been giving this show more leeway for batshit insane right-winged paranoia due to the occasional batshit insane left-winged paranoia they've had in their plots. I'm kind of cursed with generally being a completist - I have a hard time giving up on a show if I ever was into it, as...

Anyone still watching? The TV movie which aired last November was actually somewhat decent .. but the plot spoilers for season 7 don't make it sound like the show is jumping back behind the shark again. In any case, double episode, this coming monday.

Well, there was Jon Pertwee, whose family changed its name from Perthuis to shroud the Frenchiness :D As for the whole race thing .. it has been established that certain genetic characteristics do change from regenration to regeneration. The eye colour has switched at least once.

I don't really think a Bond flick written by two guys qualifies as an act of radical feminism. Especially when it sucked quite this much. It's not uncommon for (predominantly male) writers to create female characters, attempting to make them "strong", and mostly doing so by writing them either...

I really don't know where you're coming from with the women stealing men's characters' thing - this is not meant as a snide remark, I reall don't. What cases are you thinking of?
