Probably better still, when you can get all of the cultural references; I don't know anything about baseball, just know Joe DiMaggio. :blush:

Now you know how we felt watching Monty Python's Flying Circus in syndication as teenagers and feeling compelled to laugh knowingly at references to early 1970's English politicians.

Started watching Hannibal. I like it.

21 Jump Street- I know nothing of the original TV show, I guess it never crossed the pond. Kind of amusing, lots of self-awareness and jokes about itself. Not great, but OK.

The look of the show is kind of amazing.  A lot of camera effects I haven't really seen before.

Is Hannibal actually Lithuanian in this?

I know that, but the character IIRC is supposed to be a war-traumatized Lithuanian.  It would make sense to make him Bosnian or something considering the altered timeline.

Watched Iron Man 3 yesterday. Liked it a lot. Ben Kingsley nearly made me piss my pants. :lol:

I saw Iron Man 3 yesterday also, I enjoyed it. Story got silly quick, but it kept me interested. I liked it.

No question that the pretty but too skinny for my taste Pepper Potts was hot in this movie. ;)

Speaking of Potts, I rewatched Who's Harry Crumb? a couple of days ago - I had forgotten how awful Annie Potts' character was... :menace:

You can't think about things like that too much; the show can't stand that kind of scrutiny. To enjoy it, you have to just kind of go with it.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
