"Mad Men" seasons 1 and 2.

Love me some Don Draper.

DanaC · 03-19-2010, 08:54 AM

I am just getting into a new show. I downloaded and watched the pilot last night (on itunes...not strictly speaking a dvd but good as :P). Was very good: Burn Notice.

I'm waiting for the 3rd and 4th disk of the first season of Twin Peaks, but I probably won't have them for tonight, maybe not even for tomorrow.

I never saw it when it was all the rage. I'm loving it!

Season One is great.

"She's dead, wrapped in plastic" hooked me and hooked me hard.

Season Two gets really weird.

Oooh, yes, big fans of Burn Notice here. It's stayed strong through all the seasons so far, too. Bruce Campbell always makes me smile.

DanaC · 03-19-2010, 12:57 PM

It was seeing Bruce's name in the cast list that made me give it a go. I love him, he's marvellous.

I have no idea if this part of American culture ever reached you or not, but the mother is played by Sharon Gless, who was Cagney in Cagney & Lacey. Lacey makes a brief cameo in a later season.

DanaC · 03-19-2010, 02:27 PM

Oh Cagney and Lacey was huge here in the 80s. It was one of those shows that my whole family would watch.

Pete Zicato · 03-19-2010, 11:37 PM

District 9. Very inventive. Quite a good action movie.

DanaC · 03-20-2010, 10:18 PM

Well, I'm up to episode 8 of the first season of Burn Notice. Just a leetle bit addictive.

Oh man, I loved Twin Peaks when that came around. I still get goosebumps from the theme music.

jinx · 03-20-2010, 10:21 PM

I never got into that one. It's one of my choices at treadmill time (4pm) but I like both Law & Order and NCIS better.

In a curious case of synchronicity, we watched Anvil! The Story of Anvil last night, at the same time that Anvil was in town performing at the premier club in DC, the 9:30 Club.

The documentary is extremely similar to This Is Spinal Tap, except it's real. I felt a little bad for Anvil, and wanted them to succeed. A recurring theme in the documentary is Anvil playing spaces that hold 10,000 people, but only 200 people showing up. I'm curious if the 9:30 Club had their space set up with the stage pulled out into the room to accommodate a smaller crowd, or if it was pushed back to hold a sold out show.

If you haven't seen the video of Badalamenti explaining how the theme came about... a must see.

Let The Right One In

Swedish film with subtitles instant watch at NetFlix.

It's numbing,haunting,sad and leaves an impact.

Shawnee123 · 03-21-2010, 02:24 PM

Lynch is brilliant, and the theme music is perfect. I noted Badalamenti's name as I started watching the series.

And now, I'm going to go watch the last episode on the 2nd disk of the 2nd season (I was mixed up before because the first CD contained the pilot episode.)
