Anybody planning on watching Hannibal?  They've already managed to fuck up some of the Harris canon as it is, I'm concerned they're going to fuck it up even more by the time they're done.


Yet another CSI clone with an already establish fan base. Wooptidoo.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Yeah I'll watch it, and see how it goes. Obviously, though, it will begin to stray from the canon the longer it goes on.

That just made it to my must see list.

Took in Billy Elliot (the musical) with the family.  I know I am late to this one but it was really good.  The Boy that played Billy was good but the boy that played Michael stole the show.

I was a bit surprised by the demonization of Thatcher throughout.  I thought it would be more of a background theme.

Thatcher was quite hated by wast swathes of the British working and creative classes, and Billy Elliot draws from the experience of both and is set in the relevant period. Anything but demonizing her would be staggeringly inauthentic, I would think.

Awesome show.  Shame it was so short-lived.

Why CSI of all shows?

Got done with my terrian analysis for the invasion of West Germany. Nothing else on TV and watched a movie I wouldnt normally watch these last days off. Memoirs of a Gaysha. Pretty good.

Hannibal.  Surprisingly...surprising.  Ballsy production for a network.

My wife watched it as well.  I was really impressed by how they were able to shoot nudity and minor gore while still staying inside the rules.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Evil Dead remake tomorrow.  Meant to rewatch the original tonight, but oops.
