[Syt]

Started watching season 1 of American Dad. I've gotten used to Stan sounding like Dr Hartman/Carter Pewterschmidt by now.

Also: Patrick Stewart is epic (just watched the episode where Stan's boss dates his daughter).

American Dad seemed awful at first, but now I usually find it funnier than Family Guy.  Cleveland Show still sucks. 

[Scipio]

Tron.  Holds up surprisingly well.  My wife had never seen it before, and she enjoyed it.

[Sheilbh]

American Gangster.  Disappointing.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

Ninja Assassin. horrible sound mix of overloud punching, music, and grunting; all dialogue whispered like an stoned emo kid reading a bedtime story. The Ninja battles were pretty cool, but otherwise not as fun as I'd hoped.

Too bad, I had some hope for this one.

American Gangster.  Disappointing.

It certainly was.

[The Brain]

Resident Evil: Extinction

A bit slow.

[The Larch]

American Gangster.  Disappointing.

How so? I remember it being an Ok film.

Master & Commander by Peter Weir... Oddly, perhaps shockingly, I had never seen this movie for some reason, (I know, weird, right?) Well having access to the Blu Ray and my surround sound system, made it worth the wait. Great action, makes me want to read the books. Crowe was doing what he does best in this one, and the battles were excellent. seemed authentic to me, though I have very little knowledge of how those sorts of battles really would have happened.

Most excellent & old school!

9.75 sneaky french ship captains outta 10

also watched the last few episodes of Planet Earth on Blu ray and an old fashioned dvd of old Merry Melodies. There were a few I'd never seen :O

Maybe he was expecting The Godfather with black pipple.

to be fair that's kinda how they marketed it. Sadly though it was more like Godfather 3 with Black people.

Check out David Drake's Lt. Leary books, they are based on the Maturin and Aubrey series except for being science fictiony.  Baen has some of them on their Free Library. 

These aren't the wackjob Libertarian wingnut Baen crapfests.

Drake's usually reasonably decent. thanks wags.
