A Columbo episode where Johnny Cash is mixed up with a crooked televangelist to get in the daughters pants, then after being blackmailed, drugs the daughter and mother while in a twin prop and crashes the plane into a mountain to teach them you don't fuck with Johnny Cash. Heartwarming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzKxgzgoIow

Alternating episodes of 

 

Person of Interest - started watching because of main character shares a name with my late father - Reese - but ended up really liking it.

 

and

 

Unforgettable  - like the use of the potential of the human brain.... (i.e. memory)

Just got around to watching all ( ) of  Broadchurch. It's now on BBC America and very much worth watching, if not exactly uplifting.

Episode 4 just aired last week on this side of the pond. I was intrigued with the first ep, but am bored now. "The Fall" is so much better.

 

Can't wait for "Luther" (season 3) to run this week!

Starting Season 3 of Boardwalk Empire

Oops, missed the post. The steak, arugula, potatoes and whiskey sounds awesome. You should be watching Boardwalk Empire instead of Ghostbusters though.

I'm a Cyborg, but That's OK -- Chan-wook Park, so:  awesome, of course.  Silly silly silly.  Like a movie-long Ylvis video.

Eddie Izzard: Live from Wembley -- high.  Larry.  us.

 

The first Alien, she blew him out the airlock.

 

The second film -- Alienz -- she blew him out the airlock.

 

The third film -- Alienseses -- she blew him out the airlock.

 

The fourth film -- Alienseseseses -- she blew him out the airlock.

 

Everything else is measured in feet, horses are measured in hands.  What the fuck?

 

Fucking hilarious.

Just finished Season 5 episode 8 of Breaking bad... ahhh, when are they going to put up the second half of the Season on Netflix?!?!

Not sure. They're on BT.

Just watched 5-14. Wowee Zowee.

Conan O'Brien Can't Stop -- awesome.  I figure it's the apposite to Howard Stern's Private Parts -- the HS story is for everyone who has ever hated a boss, the CO'B story is for everyone who has ever loved a boss.  I just can't imagine anyone coming out of that and loving Conan less.  I'm not saying it hasn't happened, I'm just saying that I can't imagine it.

Wet Hot American Summer -- I'm only up to 11 a.m., and I'm already laughing my ass off.  Thanks for the rec, Ric.  "Fondue...cheddar."

 

Also, to anyone else interested, it expires off of Netflix streaming 10/1.

Luther -- this is disturbing in a way I don't find disturbing (contrast with, for example, Breaking Bad, which I find disturbing) -- what's wrong with me, if anything?

 

Also:  still laughing at multiple scenes from mental replayback of Wet Hot American Summer -- the dialog-less Kenyan runner, the opening of everyone slipping out of others' bunks and heading back to their own bunks, the fumbling with the chewing gum...just everything.

... the crash/big chase, camp rivalry, trip into town to the broken glass, D&D, and "I want you inside me"...

Yup.

 

Me:  Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. -- really enjoyed this, typical Whedon writing, "With great power comes...a ton of weird crap you are not prepared to deal with..."

 

I'll definitely be continuing watching.

Ruby Gloom -- children/goth show -- expires 10/1 off of Netflix streaming.

 

For some reason, I can't watch Luther no more.  Not even s03e02, the one I just watched.  Should have watched them all that night while I could.

"Broadchurch" finale - I came around to liking this show a lot more after I stopped expecting it to be another "Luther" or "The Fall". Rather than being focused on a serial killer, it unfolds more like a novel, slowly peeling back the layers of a (supposedly) sleepy coastal town. The ending scene is very moving.

 

"Sleepy Hollow" - my favorite new show of the season so far. Better than Whedon's "MAOS", imo.

The final episode of The IT Crowd (ever?)

Sniff.

Much watch! Also, very sad.

The final episode of The IT Crowd (ever?)

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECQKmQsEnTI

 

Sniff.

 

This!

Arrow -- oh, hey, look, it's Dresden.  And, oh, hey look, it's Capt. Jack Harkness.

 

Some great dialog, too:

 

"...at least, that's what my agent says."

"Agent?  I thought you were a neurosurgeon, Carter."

"I know, it's crazy, right?  One minute I'm publishing this book on how long-term potentiation initiates the creation of a slow-moving protein synthesis, and the next, there's an agent trying to make me the next Dr. Oz."

"Why would he want you to be a wizard?"

(everyone laughs)

"For all our sakes, start reading Us Weekly."

Homegrown reality programming.

Just finished watching a Japanese drama called Hanzawa Naoki. It's very different from the US primetime dramas; it has very few big scenes and very little action elements. It gets its point across mainly with words. It's a damn good show, but it does get a little dry from time to time because of its wordiness. Season finale reached record high in Kanto, Japan at 42.2%, so the second season is probably coming, and I can't wait to watch more.

16 years late, but just watched the Roseanne finale on YouTube. Kinda miss that show.
