I've probably testified for this series before, but...
Slings and Arrows- Its a 3 season Canadian series. Clever, funny, touching, brilliant. I think you can instant watch it on Netfix.

We are chomping at the bit to get at the US release of Spooks (MI5) season 8. Gah!

Been watching "Goodnight Sweetheart" and going through the usual who makes a better Yvonne and who makes a better Phoebe. I think the two Yvonnes have their own charms, but Kirwan Dervla was better. I need to find out from the Brits what kind of accent the Yvonnes have, it is different from Gary's.

ok the blonde yvonne accent here



is wandering working class as perceived by southern kids who go to stage school, based on a northern manchester and further type area thing (Dana), but I head a little scouse in there occasionally too.

'course I haven't been there for a while. Could be Aussie

North Manchester softened for the BBC. Better, less wandering than the other Yvonne, but still a little cringeworthy in places. A little like "university accent". At British unis, students' accents seem to cross-breed and settle on a generally southern accent with the flatter vowels of the North.

Saw "Robin Hood" w/Russell Crowe. It wasn't nearly as bad as I'd heard, it just wasn't what I expected Robin Hood to be (sorta prequel-ish).

7 out of 10.

Been on a bit of a netflix binge, watching stuff off my instant queue on the Roku.

Waiting for Armageddon
documentary on Fundamentalists doing just that.

Minnesota Cuke: Sampson's Hairbrush
Veggie Tales. Any curiosity I had is more than satisfied. Acutually, I think I may have burned out my curiosity completely.

Roughnecks: Starship Troopers
Crappy, crappy CGI cartoon based on the movie based on the novel. Managed one episode before I deleted all of them from the queue.

CyberWars
what we used to call a cable-ready movie, I think. Rip off of the matrix without the wire-harness fight scenes. Some interesting concepts, I guess, but it dragged. It did have David Warner in it, which helped me make it through to the less than dramatic conclusion.

Illuminating Angels and Demons
I love a good conspiracy documentary, even if the basis was a less than spectacular book.

We Are Wizards
Harry Potter fans are infinitely lamer than Star Trek fans.

Here is what pretty blonde northerners sound like when not softened at all. I love this accent, and the different forms of speech... I pretty much spoke it when I was there.
