Alurin@ Isn't working class hero Lennon?

Dare I say it, but movies are losing a bit of their appeal at the moment as they're too short! I've never been a fan of literary short stories, I like novels. For me to enjoy a short story it has to has a hell of a lot of a style and a big pay-off. I feel that way about films now. Unless it's something I haven't seen

@Aluirn: And mine, funny enough. I don't know if that's because I watched them in boxsets (and might explain why these last few episodes of BSG feel quite different to me).

I never *saw* anything …

BSG couldn't sustain what is was in the first couple of seasons. It was brilliant then, startling, original, breath-taking. The last two seasons are still better than most things, but man alive I never so anything as compelling as those first two seasons. So as a complete series it's not as good as The Wire, of

It seems mad to link the Wire and BSG I know, they are wildly different but for the me the link is that they work, as pieces of art, as attempts to illuminate who we are. Maybe 1% of telly does that.

I stopped watching this shit after two episodes
Because the writing was so piss-poor. Actually I watched another when Gene and Keely were stuck in a safe together, and she was roasting hot. That stuck in my mind.

It has been a magnificent ride, a great bit of story telling, an adventurous amble through the human landscape with some shit about boxing too.

If Alan Moore doesn't like this movie he's an asshole
Obviously he won't. But if I'd written Watchmen, or anything, and another artist had come along and lavished so much love on it I'd be pretty chuffed. Even if I thought I'd written some sort of sacred text I'd have to say, well, you love it too.

This was a week after, there wasn't much else to do to be honest.

For an English in an American cinema, all experiences are potentially horrifying.
I went to see, in Sept 2001, The Glass House, in a cinema attached to the central station in Washington DC.

This was the most sit com-like episode ever and that's no bad thing
Call-backs, loops, jokes set up at the start that ripen at the end, an A plot and a B plot, cameos, momentum jokes, triple pay-offs. It was pretty damn good wasn't it? Almost Seinfeldy. It's a shame they may not do a third as they've got a serious

I feel excited about this, rarely do I look forward to anything on telly, but this could be awesome.

The Mighty Star Trek Canon Must Be Destroyed
The cinema re-boot will likely offend everyone who likes Star Trek at some point. To get over this we should think of it as another interpretation. No one thinks every version of Sherlock Holmes must strictly follow either Conan Doyle's stories, or fit in with Basil

I watched TNG as I moved from my teens to my twenties. The first two series were really bad I thought, embarrassing at times. But after the Season 3/4 cliff-hanger, it became brilliant. Some episodes were duffers alright, but the dynamic between all the characters, especially Data's ongoing quest to be human, was

I forgot about Yes Prime Minister, genius.

Sorry! was very poignant. Really.

This'll geek you up to the max.

Father Ted is Irish, written by Irishmen with Irish actors
The British already ran us off our land and starved us to death, do we have to let them have Father Ted too?

I don't care about any of this
I;m just checking out my new profile.
