Thanks for the tip Dana...now I have to find it. He really cant get enough of it.

Yes, I did see the first couple episodes on BBCAmerica, didn't really catch on for me. I loved Jekyll, though, and Life on Mars, and some other show with Philip Gleinster that was like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, only with a young man as the focus ... Van Helsing or something like that? Or the main character was a descendent of Van Helsing?

Another one I have really been meaning to watch from beginning to end.

It was four or five episodes I think. They ran nightly ending on Halloween.

Some zombie purists were upset at the speed of the zombies, but I just found it totally compelling.

That's a new phenomenon among zombies, LOL. My husband actually dreams about them (...they are actually nightmares...)

Oh Gods...you're talking about Demons. I really didn't get along with that show. I watched it...and once I started watching I had to finish it, but didn't really gel with me.

Have you tried the US remake of Being Human? I'd be intrigued to hear if you like it. Quite a few people who didn't get into the original have really loved the remake. It's related, but also its own beast. Much higher production budget and values, and more episodes to be able to expand on some stuff that rushed through in the original. It's tonally very different.

*grins*

I have had a fair few dreams about zombies. Basically the kind that involved a lot of running and frantic motion. They wake me up in a sweat, but I kind of like them. They're exhilirating, especially on the rare occasion I become slightly aware I am dreaming. Just enough to mean I can go with it.

Oh my husband hates them. He's just killing them all of the time. Once he dreamt that I was one...staring at him from the other side of a fence. He said he woke up really sad. :3eye:

NOVA Documentary on The Great Escape.

I've read a couple of the books, and it was really neat to see the archeological dig of the tunnel.

I also watched Inception. Overrated.

I've been dreaming of vampires recently.
I mean excessively. And I'm not currently watching or reading anything vampire related.

I think it's all to do with self-imposed boundaries. I feel I am restricted by lack of money, weight, living at home etc. Often I dream I am confronted by them but at the last minute I just can't bear to kill them because they seem so human.

You don't really want me on your end of the world team :(

But what if I need someone to purr "butterscotch?"

Oh yeah!
That's going on my End of World Scenario resume!

I saw that last week. Agree with you.

Just returned from the store with a brand new copy of Summer Wars. It looks very good. One of the best AMVs at SakuraCon used video from this movie with a song by ... what's her name? Hannah Montana? Here's the AMV. Funny as hell, but possibly spoiler for the actual movie. :)

Not a DVD but a free movie on demand:

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, and Albert Finney. Oh, and the underrated Amy Ryan. (If you're not sure about her I highly recommend Gone Baby Gone. She was great as the party hardy mother. Oh, and Casey. Swoon.)

Very odd. I like odd.
