I watched the latest BBC / RSC production of Hamlet last night (not dvd as such, more an Itunes download).

Was brilliant. Just brilliant! Tennant as hamlet was great; Patrick Stewart as the King and as old Hamlet the ghost was spell-binding. Even laertes wasn't totally shit and he's usually the one that gets most badly miscast

I was only checking the download. Hasd no intention of watching it. Was turning off computer to go to bed and noticed it had finished coming in...having had some probs with itunes downloads lately, i figured I'd check and make sure it was working and the correct download...

3 hours later I went to bed with a head full of Hamlet. it's still in my head now. I adore that play. I think this is now my second favourite production after the old b&w Olivier version (the one that won my heart when i was a nipper).

Ever Since the World Ended

Every single one of those weenies would have been dead in the first 15 minutes, I tell you.

Except maybe Adam.

That's not my apocalypse ... not a single warlord, or horde cruising around on motorcycles and dune buggies, no wickedly sharp stainless steel boomerangs, nothin'!

I agree. I hate it when things start bouncing around and shit. And those things start yanking your covers. It's too cold for that...

What?

Knowing - Now that's a stupid ending to what had been a good movie up until that point ...

The Ninth Configuration - Dude at work suggested it, was strange in a totally 70s William Peter Blatty kind of way.

Battlestar Galactica (the new one) Disc one. Not as bad as I remember from watching the first part on SciFi Channel, but still not as brilliant as the friend who told me to give it another chance implied.
