The Road.

Gray and depressing. Didn't like it at all, and I'm a big fan of post-apocalyptic fiction.

All of them should have been dead within weeks of the unnamed catastrophe involving lots of bright light and burning, and probably shouldn't have lasted through the 111 minutes of the movie, either.

Hated this movie. Depressing doesn't even begin to describe this downer.

Ugh. Two hours I'll never get back. I had to eat ice-cream right out of the container to soothe my soul.

I don't think I have that much ice cream ...

I'm dismayed to learn this isn't how all people eat ice cream all the time.

I also find it far more expedient to eat the ice cream out of the container with a fork. Stabs off chunks better.

I watched Paul the other night. Loved it. Very funny.

Mother Night

Hadn't known it existed until I bumbled across it on Netflix. It was always one of my favorite Vonnegut books, but the movie doesn't come across as interestingly quirky as I remember the book, which I guess I now have to reread. Vonnegut's in the movie, in one of those Hitchcockian walkthrough sorts of ways.

nearly done with season 4 of Dexter.

Dex is hot, hot, hot. And he's very good looking in a sex-you-up way. And he's cute. And very sexy. I wouldn't spit on his soul.

Now I'm gonna get all of Six Feet Under and swoon over him in that one. Mmmmmmm.

Michael C. Hall. Better than donuts.

Finished off Bones (Season 5).

I have time on my hands.

I have just seen " THE LAST EXORCISM " the movie was just mind blowing.

Trilby · 04-20-2011, 03:00 PM

In Treatment with Gabriel Byrne (HOT HOT HOT!) and oh, so very gooooood.

Six Feet Under - the entire series is an excellent study in grief.

Breaking Bad or Weeds - possible new occupation information for you!

The Tudors - HOT HOT HOT and loads of people having a worse day than you. What's not to love?

wolf · 04-20-2011, 04:30 PM

I LOVE the Tudors.

Just discovered Doc Martin, a British TV show, which like many British programmes is wryly funny. A surgeon who gets explosively queasy at the sight of something common in medical practice and runs away to a quirky village in Cornwall.

DanaC · 04-20-2011, 05:13 PM

I quite like Doc Martin. It's one of those shows I don't make time for, wouldn't class myself as a fan of, and yet whenever I happen upon it, I enjoy it.

Six Feet Under was amazing. And the title sequence is exquisite. There isn't a single weak performance in the whole run and the writing is wonderful. I used to get to the end of SFU and get that feeling you get when you watch some really great stage drama. It's so tightly-written, and with just the slightest hint of magical realism now and then.

I've always loved American TV programmes, but tightly written drama, combining depth with a light touch and willingness to take risks with the audience, was something I used to associate more with British, and in particular BBC and CH4 dramas. Six Feet Under was probably the programme that showed me that US drama at its best is every bit a match for British, and HBO and Showtime in particular can stand next to the BBC and Channel 4. With the added advantage of course, of a budget to go along with that quality.

Have you seen any Being Human, Wolf? Either British or SyFy?

Yes, I did see the first couple episodes on BBCAmerica, didn't really catch on for me. I loved Jekyll, though, and Life on Mars, and some other show with Philip Gleinster that was like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only with a young man as the focus ... Van Helsing or something like that? Or the main character was a descendent of Van Helsing?
