I saw the trailer for Hanna.  Please, do tell me the movie doesn't end with "I'm your mother, Hanna" ?

Heh, I was afraid of that too.  :D But no, it doesn't.

Actually, it is a very decent film. I liked it. The plot isn't much, but I did like the characterization - the girl who is trained in strict isolation to be the perfect killer, but who knows nothing first hand about the world.

I watched 3 episodes of James May's road trip on BBC on Demand. 3 episodes of French wine country? Actually interesting.

It is to the mahou shoujo genre what NGE was to giant robots.
So... totally overrated and incomprehensible?

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You can get that abroad now?  :hmm:
When did that start?

Robin Hood sounds awesome:
 
Its a stupid kids show. And not a particularly good one. I stopped watching it after the first episode.

I've had BBC America for years in my basic cable or DirectTV packages. Although it is pretty pathetic programming wise nowadays.

  Just watched the first episode of Hanasaku Iroha. Very favourably impressed- I expect it may be the best anime of the summer.

Edit: Or rather, I wouldn't want to undercut my legitimacy as a critic. Rather, I like it very much. It might not suit the general anime fan as much, even if he does like slice of life.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

My mom used to love that.  Especially that fruity talk show host.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Now they show X-Files and ST:TNG. WTF

Maybe they realized that most of the stuff they produce is crappola.

I'm not sure that I like the take-away message but I have to say I was pleased with the romance between two of the male leads as I've found both attractive at some point in their careers.

Watched Gangs of New York. It was pretty decent, but I can see why it didn't go over as well as you would expect. It was a bit...disjointed? Maybe that isn't the right word.

Wow. That is really disturbing.  :homestar:

Won't ever be able to look at them the same way again. Thanks a lot. If you hadn't posted this it would've flown under my R.A.D.A.R.  <_<

Male love is hardly disturbing. Besides, Purefoy ends up a bisexual.

How am I supposed to believe Purefoy as a hard-nosed and morally corrupt general whose only lusts in life are women, conquest and murder when I know that he's been fucking McKidd.

Now you've got me musing who pitches and who catches.

God damn you to hell.
