the greedy hands of politics and half-truths

I would <3 to take like…a few months off and do nothing. Or potter about sorting things out that when I get home from work have no brains left to concentrate on or am too busy at weekends to figure out.

It would be nice.

Today…I think I am going to have a Space: Above and Beyond marathon. It’s been a while. And thinking about that…if I have S:AAB even though I had to buy a dvd player I could hack to watch it, why don’t I have Seaquest and Lexx as well? And VR.5

Although VR.5 isn’t out on dvd. Probably. It was kind of bad. I might have some videos of a few episodes stashed somewhere. Hmm.

And…zoooomg I am so excited about the new AFI album. I think I’ve already preordered it. I should check that, just in case I really have and then go and order another copy. Have I mentioned that I’m excited? I am WAY more excited than I was for the last album. No idea why though. Maybe I have more time to hang out on the Despar Faction messageboards like I used to back in the daaay. 😀 At least I finally got around to joining the fan club this year. Weeeeeeee.

Dexter

…I tried watching the first series. And to start with? It was ok. Almost good even. But then I just kind of lost interest. Pah.

I think maybe trying to watch an ongoing series just takes too much time. I want to know the whole story in y’know, a relatively short time period. Or at least, just the one sitting.

Band of Brothers

What is it with Band of Brothers hmm? I’m trying desperately to wade through it but it’s just so… boring. Maybe it’s seeing all these British actors and then them opening their mouths and their accents coming out all wrong. Maybe it’s too slow moving and grim.

I dunno.

I’ve finished the second disc but I don’t think I can bring myself to waste more rentals on it. :/

Does it get better?

Night Watch

So. I finally got round to watching Night Watch. I don’t quite know what I was expecting, but the film turned out to be ok.

It started off pretty well, went a bit dodgy in the middle and then picked up towards the end. I think mostly, it makes me want to check out the books it’s based on. That could be a good thing, or it could be a bad thing. I am curious though, about the Russian edit of the film and whether the scenes that are in that that aren’t in the international edit would make it make more or less sense.

Hmm.

Eurovision

The UK song is ok. Not Eurovisiony though bah.

Bosnia & Herzegovina are awesomely cracky.

Israel has a pretty ok song

Finland = metal without rubber 🙁

Turkey = rockin’

Latvia NEEDS to win. Them and their PIRATES. OMG.
