They prefer to not have their server space occupied by overweight hard drive consuming photo's, and would under normal circumstances probably have deleted it and replaced it with a link. Under these circumstances, such actions would have had... Unfortunate implications.

Also, if UnderToad does like images uploaded to his server, I'd like to hear it from him. |

I was just explaining about why I wrote the disclaimer for the mods in the big long (but too small to read) movie list image I posted earlier. The one you quoted and said didn't make sense. |
It's 2015 and that means, no matter what size, images are always small. Video is huge. Do not upload video at this time. If we want private video I can make arrangements for it. Thank you.

OMG.
You, Me and the Apocalypse It's just so good. It's so well plotted, in that things are seeded then start to bear fruit. It's so well cast. It's a drama, but it's funny. It's occasionally shocking. It's lighter than Utopia, not as rude as Misfits, but it succeeds equally as well as both those shows in what it sets out to do. Absolutely obsessed by it. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. Then I can properly look out for foreshadowing. It's only four episodes in, so far, so this will be a while. In the mean time there's always fan sites to check out. Which means I have to go and cheat on you now, so that I can find some. |
Sounds awesome. I've been thinking of giving it a go. Your recommendation tips the scales.
|
I hope you're watching it Dana.
Or intend to gorge on it at some point. It really is very good. No point in me posting spoilers as no-one else seems to be watching it and I really don't want to clue you in. It gets more complex as you go through, and things are revealed that if you have invested in the characters will make you go, "WOAH!" I like anyway. Very much. Hope the DVD is out in time for Christmas. I'll ask my bro for it, if it is. |
Once my current Evil Dead/ Bruce Campbell obsession has died down to managable proportions I'mma binge watch it.

I just started watching the Great British Baking Show. Unbelievably engaging.
|
Oh man. Be careful with that one. Very addictive mindless TV. Perfect for unwinding when you don't want to have to think at all. And completely inoffensive. We watch it a lot these days.
|
That show is fucking ridiculous. It shouldn't make for good television. On paper it sounds like the least interesting show on tv (after live fishing). Baking is not a spectator sport. Yet somehow once you start watching it, it's riveting.
I like that it is a gentler pace then most tv contests. And has a nice atmosphere. |

Momdigr watches a show called Sewing With Nancy. Yep, sit there and watch someone sew. I'm sure there are probably people that find it riveting entertainment. I am not one of those people. And, even more boring than watching people fish, there is a show (at least there used to be) where all they (an old man, and, an old woman) do is take turns tying flies. No, not house flies, that would actually be interesting, for a while, but, fishing flies. One of them would tie a certain fly pattern, and then, the other would tie the same pattern, only with one, out of like ten, different color thread/string/fly-tying substance. I watched an entire thirty minute (PBS minutes, so, it was only like 22 minutes) episode once. I went insane three different times. |
I read a review of the Great Holiday Baking Show, that was less than complimentary:
http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-ra...abc-copy-fails So, I watched the first episode and I thought it was really good. The criticisms in the review are a little unfair I think. They might have softened aspects of it, but I thought they caught a lot of the essence of the original, whilst not feeling like an attempt to be british. This is a much better attempt to do an american version of the show than the last one. One of the things I love about GBBO is that the people who go on it are a really nice mix of personality types and backgrounds and it's a lot less celeb wannabe than most other reality shows. It's ordinary people who like to bake. Or, at least that's how it started. It's massive popularity and tendency in the last couple of years to generate twitter flurries and news stories (including the baked alaska sabotage scandal - I am not making that up) may be changing that. The Great Holiday Baking Show seems to me to have got the ordinary people part of it right. It's really nice to see ordinary american people on screen who are just normal and not super heightened.As a brit I only really get to see professional actors and entertainers, reality tv wannabe stars, or the weirdest, wildest and most warped examples of society - because tv isn't generally in the business of showing ordinary people, and most ordinary people don't seek to be on tv. I also really liked the presenters. I don't really get why the reviewer was so down on them. Finally - I don't think there was a difference in quality in terms of the bakes. I think the reviewer went in wanting to dislike this. |
Season 2 of Broadchurch is on NetFlix!!!

At Foots's urging, I finally gave Orphan Black a go. For some reason I've been resistant to watching it, despite all the good reviews. But I gave in (sometimes peer rpessure is a good thing :P) and watched the first episode a few nights ago - enjoyed it, could defintely see that it might turn into something that grabs me. Quite quirky, well-acted, interesting characters, and walked a fine line between drama and humour.
So - I just watched episode 2. It's ten past the witching hour and I really, really want to watch episode 3. The second episode has totally got under my skin. I am very much buzzed about this show. Bloody hell, this woman is an awesome actor. All the actors are great. I especially like her best friend, Felix. He's wonderful. The pace of the story is excellent - it's really drawing me in. I also really like the opening theme. Even as I am writing this post I haven't made my mind up about whether I am going to watch another episode, or do the sensible thing and go to bed. I'm thinking I really shold do the latter ....so then I'm thinking mabe I oculd go tobed and watch another episode on my laptop so I am in bed....kind of cheating though....but...if I just go tobed, i'd probably end up reading for a while - so...? Decisions, decisions. |
Guessing she went to bed since the third episode would have ended about 40 minutes ago. Unless she's into the 4th...

By the time I finished sorting out Carrot's last trip onto the back lane fr a quyick wee, made myself a brew, had a wash etc and booted up the laptop it was gone 1:00 :P
I just finished ep 3 heh. I am now going to switch off the laptop and go to sleep - but seriously, if I didn't have a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow, I'd be sorely tempted to watch another |
Ohhh thats it - I've hit full-blown addiction already. Got up late (11:30), walked the dog, cooked some breakfast and now here I am at 2:30 and am I working? No. Am I washing my hair, having a bath, or tidying my house? No. I'm watching fucking Orphan Black.
Damn you, Foots. This show is frikkin awesome. |
