Xena: Warrior Princess is on Netflix  :hmm:

All six seasons are on my bookshelf! :w00t:

It's just as campy as I remember it.  :cool:

Just never play the drinking game of taking a shot when there is gay subtext. Did that once, never again! :lol:

If it's got Ben Stiller, the odds aren't very promising. Out of 100+ films he's credited in IMDB, I count 4 good ones: Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, Anchorman(which was a cameo), and Royal Tenenbaums.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

"Falling Skies" is so bad I can't stop watching. It's like a trainwreck wrapped in a trainwreck wrapped in a really bad car accident.

Stopped by Target to see if they had The Wire on DVD.  They did not.

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

He has a few more passable films than those, but yeah, Walter Mitty looks pretty bad.

My theory on Ben Stiller is that he was one of the attempts, engineered by the Jewish studio execs, to engineer a Jewish leading man.  Other notable failures are Leiv Schriber and that dude from Police Academy and the Stonecutters song.  Gutenberg, that's it.

Ben Stiller is still a lot better than Adam Sandler, though. Sandler had one really good movie: Happy Gilmore. And a good movie with the Wedding Singer. It was steeply downhill from there..
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
