Rescue Me season 2, watched all the Rambo's this weekend. Pointless trivia: Rambo doesn't kill anyone in the first movie.

Jesus' Son. SUCKED. Completely a waste of time and energy. If this guy can get a book published and a movie made, I'm freaking golden

Life of Brian


Contrasted with

Jesus Christ Superstar

which SonofV has specifically requested and queued up a couple nights this week. He's even scanned youtube for clips including clips of alternate performances. Cool.

Also, lots of Looney Tunes. Timeless classics.

V...I have an old VCR tape of old cartoon classics. Early Daffy (biggest fan here) and other stuff.

What is different is there is a cartoon called Lazy Town. It's very racist. Enough so that you think "no way!"

It's history, right or wrong. Wrong. But it was never rewritten like history books. You start to see what the status quo was, then.

Just started season one of Mad Men. I'm interested, yet wary. The pilot moved kind of slowly. And yeah, I get that the 50s-60s were horribly sexist. But I don't think I can watch a whole series based around that one fact.

we have some DVD's of cartoons, 3+ hours long a dollar each from Walmart, time fillers for road trips. the stuff on them is very old, one of the Bugs Bunnys is jaw droppingly racist, but only in context, that stuffs so out of date now the kids don't make the connections.

Watched the 1938 Errol Flynn movie The Adventures of Robin Hood last night. It was kinda campy, but not bad for a 70 year old flick! It was interesting to watch it and go "Hey, this is from the Disney Robin Hood!" or "Hey! That's just like in Princess Bride!" Only to quickly realize that those other movies actually all paid homage to this one.

Please, please, please make sure that you get the 2000 TV version.

Not that I have anything against the 1973 Norman Jewison directed version, I mean it DOES have Yvonne Elliman singing "I Don't Know How to Love Him," but, well, it's just so 70s, and I didn't like it very much then, but the newer one, it's very minimlist, but very cool. Strong performances, neat staging.

I always wanted to see the stage version, with Ben Vereen rising up on the big stained glass butterfly at the end, but my parents were simply not that cool.

Jeff Beck
Live at Ronnie Scott's
The thickstringer is a chic. And DAY UM! She is phenomenal! Not to mention Jeff's totally unconventional style.
With special guest appearances by Joss Stone, Imogen Heap, and yes... none other than Slowhand.
Great show.

I just picked up "Rock 'n' Rule". That, followed by "Heavy Metal", is going to be our Sunday night viewing.

Just watched Caprica last night.

P.U. What a stinker. At least there was a little brief nudity.

Jim Carrey's "Yes Man" sucks. That is all.
