On the movie front, I watched two Mike Nichols films, The Birdcage and Closer, as well as River's Edge. I was planning to watch more, but time slipped away from me later in the week.

My favourite was the one where Peele dials the Pizza place and ends up murdering the imaginary girl. The last line slayed me.

As someone who has recently started watching Superman: TAS, I agree Sava should recap. I appreciate the world-building as well, especially in examining consequences of and reactions to Superman.

No, I haven't seen it yet. Un Flic and Le Cercle Rogue are on my to-watch list.

I didn't write anything last week because I was busy moving to a new flat, so this time I'll cover both. On the movie front, I watched The Rocketeer, Bottle Rocket a British TV adaptation of She Loves Me, Army of Shadows and The Lady Eve.

I think it's purely a performance issue in the most recent one, specifically mis-reading the rhythms. She tries to make the song sound more modern by syncopating things that aren't meant to be syncopated in that sort of modern latin-pop style and I think that ruins the song more than the overly optimistic performance.

I know, but it's been about 4-5 years now so it's probably not going to happen. Though I don't think Sorkin is necessarily the best writer for Follies as I think the book is actually pretty great - though it would need re-working simply due to the differences between stage and screen - but in a very different style to…

Despite some performance hiccups, I thought this was pretty damn good (and my first chance to see the show the whole way through, albeit not live) and a substantial improvement on the Doyle conceit, which really annoyed me when I tried to watch it on YouTube.

I've always thought that there was a little bit of tongue-in-cheek stuff in the earlier Halo games. I found the Cortana stuff interesting but the actual plotline was pretty weak. The whole Didact/Composer - I just think that they're kind of stupid names and seem sort of self-consciously "epic", much like the whole…

I kind of hated the Halo 4 campaign. The villain names and place names pissed me off and the whole self-serious attitude annoyed me. Multiplayer was pretty good, though I didn't like the new grenade indicator thing.
