Bored to Death has finished, it was pretty darn good, but weird the series was so short.
Replacing it is Funny or Die. Not good.

Been rewatching S.1 of Deadwood. What a great series. I knew that Hancock and Jane were based on real characters, but I never knew that many of the others were as well.

As part of memorial day movie week kill-a-thon, The Bridge at Remagen.

Passable 70's war flick.

Pretty much all of the main characters apart from Alma Garrett and Trixie were either real or based on real characters.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's a Boy Girl Thing- Very strange. Standard girl/boy body swap fayre. The two disagree but have to fit into each others life so they can get into university yadda yadda. But....There's a romance blooming between them. So basically you've this guy....starting to fancy himself.... Thank god its an American movie or I dread to think how far it could have gone. Beyond the kiss for sure....and what's worse is I can't recall them switching back at the end, they just decide to blow off the universities they've worked so hard with and run off together...in each others bodies....wtf?
