November 22, 201015 yr Finished 3rd disk of Blade of the Immortal. Yargh! Really wish they had finished this, it was a really good take on the manga. And what an awful place to stop. They even got the language right (in the author's notes in the manga, he mentions that he deliberately uses different styles in a deliberately incongruous and sometimes anachronistic style), without beating you on the head with it. It's much more subtle in the show than in the manga, although Sabato Kuroi was nicely pretentious with his poetry. And the more introspective scenes were nicely patient. So maybe not the best anime you've never seen, but an excellent take on the best manga you've never read.
November 22, 201015 yr the tops of clouds on my way to New Orleans...have Brew Masters recorded for when I get back...
November 26, 201015 yr Human Target, "The Wife's Tale" -- that move over the car by the parkour guy at the beginning was pure win. I've fantasized about exactly that move -- not doing it myself, obviously, but just visualizing it. The fact they did it just reminds me how compatible I am with the producers of this show. Also, nice to see Montgomery added to the opening credits -- I kind of got the impression they were adding her to the team in the last show (first episode), but not sure why she was left out of the opening credits -- it wasn't like a big spoiler or anything, any more than having Indira Varma ("Gee, I wonder who that could be?") in the opening credits. Maybe it was just a mistake, the rest of the credits read exactly the same (between the two episodes -- other than Montgomery's missing name), so it adds more whitespace between Indira Varma and Jackie Earle Haley. Also: she cute. Albeit way too young. But can't deny the eye candy aspect. Edited November 26, 201015 yr by Dusty Chalk
November 26, 201015 yr Also: she cute. Albeit way too young. But can't deny the eye candy aspect. Too young? She's 25.
November 26, 201015 yr Last night watched 13 days. I was 7 when these events played out, and we came a hairs breadth from global nuclear incineration.
November 26, 201015 yr Too young? She's 25.Well, they're playing her like she's 18 or something (there was a line on the order of "bring your daughter to work day"), and that must have been what my mind's eye saw. Still, that's just over half my age, so yeah...still too young. But at least I don't feel like a pedophile any more, so...thanks for that.
November 27, 201015 yr Goddamnit, how do you watch a whole episode of Brew Masters on the Discovery channel? All I see are a bunch of pieces, and I don't know what order to watch them in. I watched the first piece earlier in the week, and was completely turned off, despite having been completely won over by Sam Calagione in the movie, Beer Wars: the "Makin' Bitches Brew rap" section.
November 27, 201015 yr Probably easier to download the eps from somewhere else, it's not a very good start though...

November 28, 201015 yr Author The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. I don't think I've laughed this hard since Arrested Development
November 28, 201015 yr The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. I don't think I've laughed this hard since Arrested Development Agreed. At several points throughout the series I damn near thought I'd piss myself I laughed so hard. Not unlike Todd.
December 1, 201015 yr Watched the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on my DVR. God bless georgeous women!
December 3, 201015 yr A really wierd Family Guy in which Quagmire verbally lays into Brian. Really uncomfortable watching from start to finish.
