I lose it on weekends...

And why have SBS cancelled The Movie Show? Bastards.

Cos the new version was gay?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Indeed. At The Movies is better.

 

[Winmar]

I thought it was good. It's not like there isn't room for both of them either.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

That is true.

I dislike highschool film snobs lecturing to me, unless it's Trixxi speaking of porn.

24 starts Wednesday week. I guess I have to catch the last so many episodes of the last season. I got behind, but have them taped somewhere. Times like this that unemployment is a good thing.

My Name Is Earl also starts the same night, which I have been looking forward to for a while. I hear lots of good things about it.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I have just been reading the clues section over at www.yahoo7.com.au/lost and it is VERY interesting, any fan of the show should check it out. No spoilers at all and there is heaps of interesting things that you would never pick up without studying the show and being a literary genius. Very in depth underlying themes and theories.

Also, Prisonbreak is getting really tense towards the last episode, I can't wait to see how it all comes together (or doesn't come together!).

I taped 24 because I haven't gotten around to catching up from the end of the last season yet. I liked how they used Bon Jovi's "Have A Nice Day" on the promo though.

 

[Winmar]

I actually watched a fair bit of 24 last night, as I was at a motel with fuck all to do. Maybe I should start watching it, given it's the start of the season.

 

[Sydo]

I've quite enjoyed the first few episodes of 24.

 

[Winmar]

It's been good! I'm watching it now. How does it compare to past series?

 

[Dän]

Just watching the AFL footy show for the first time in ages, now i remember why i stopped, what a joke, anyone else watch this dribble?

 

[Winmar]

Every now and then. It has its moments. I'm certainly not a regular watcher these days though.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Best new show on tv is definately "My Name Is Earl"

 

[The Amazer]

Hear here!

His flashback with Crabman had me in tears!

"Hey Earl!"
"Hey Crabman"
"Hey Earl!"
"Hey Crabman"

 

[Blitzkrieg]

"It has the extended version of Cherry Pie on it like you like"

I'm enjoying 24 too much for someone who no longer watches any American shows unless they were created by Joss Whedon .

The writers' political leanings are pretty damn obvious this year, no? First they spend half the season painting President Logan as a bumbling halfwit who can't make a decision to save himself, now it turns out he was the villain of the piece all along. I wonder who they could be referring to?

Poor attitude. American doesn't always equal bad...just often.

 

[Wrathchild]

It wasn't a conscious decision, it just dawned on me recently that there are very few American shows I can be bothered with nowadays. That may change when Channel 7 gets around to showing "Bones" though.
