August 17, 201015 yr Yes the latest eps was also great, hope they don't add some silly twist that ruins it. That would surprise me, coming from AMC. They seem to be all about the slow burn, God bless 'em.
August 17, 201015 yr there is still plenty of ad stuff, but the show isn't, and never has been, actually about advertising. yea i know that, but i particularly liked the episodes/scenes where you can see how don's mind works about advertising, ex. the lucky strike "its toasted" scene also, in the newest episode, I loled pretty hard when peggy stuck her head up to see into don's office
August 18, 201015 yr watched 3 Rubicons last night, 1 tonight...kinda fuzzy on the clover bit but i guess that's the point?... current on Breaking Bad...so now it's the Hoff's Roast...then the latest True Blood *sigh*...i try & i try, but to me...paquin looks like a goblin...not seeing the appeal of this show 'less it's purely for the ladies:rolleyes:...
August 23, 201015 yr fifth episode of Rubicon...hope it's a good one as i watched 1-4 all in a row...i'm not up for constant cliffhangers ala 24...
August 24, 201015 yr True Blood. what next, a tribe of Frankenberries? The books are pretty entertaining, I'll say that. I keep meaning to revisit the show but haven't gotten around to it.
August 24, 201015 yr about to watch the fourth ep of Rubicon. i really like it so far. True Blood. what next, a tribe of Frankenberries? Inside the Medieval Mind: Knowledge x2^3, in that order no less. I then follow it up with Natural World: The Himalayas, which was the best of the four, narrowly edging out Rubicon. I knew what was coming re: True Blood, but it doesn't make it any less hokey. I continually enjoy the show, however, if only for the Eric Northman storyline.
August 30, 201015 yr I liked that documentary a lot. If you're still interested in industrial design docs, BBC - BBC Two Programmes - The Genius of Design is a good watch
August 30, 201015 yr Visited Cardiff yesterday and today with good friends that have a holiday flat there. Cardiff is where Torchwood and much of Dr Who is filmed. Now if you follow Torchwood, you'll know that a key character called Ianto Jones was killed off in the final series. Now the bizzarest thing I think I have ever seen is that there is a shrine in Cardiff at the place where the (fictional) character was killed. Damnedest thing. Just started by the odd fan, flowers are left and personal messages are pinned up. Lots of pics around, but one link is here Shrine to Ianto Jones and Torchwood | Flickr - Photo Sharing! . I kid you not. Seriously wierd.
August 30, 201015 yr i hate Torchwood. Does the existence of the wierd shrine increase or decrease your hatred-o-meter?
September 2, 201015 yr The Exorcist. I'd forgotten what a good film that was, particularly given the trashy horror movies that were around at the same time (1973).
September 2, 201015 yr Just saw Temple Grandin, I'm ashamed I didn't watch this when I first heard about it...
September 5, 201015 yr Rigoletto. Series of live performances from the locations that Verdi set the opera in, in Padua. Placido Domingo as Rigoletto, with remote orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta. First act was last night, second was midday today, and final act tonight at 10:30. Amazing. I watched a similar exercise around 20 years ago of Tosca, again with Domingo, set in the correct settings around Rome. Final act was 4am - that one needed some stamina to watch.
September 6, 201015 yr Better Off Ted. i wish i had watched this show when it was on TV originally. Don't forget the 2 dvd-only episodes for season 2 that came out recently. They really should've done a few more seasons instead of cancelling it... Watched latest eps of Rubicon.
September 9, 201015 yr finished Rome...was alright...think Spartacus: Blood & Sand drew me in further, though...trying to watch Pillars of the Earth...not digging it...um...episode of Louie...
