I know, you've told me before.
Funnily enough, that's what I thought about The Wire which had a really weak final season. The last season of The Shield on the other hand was brilliant with one of the greatest wrap ups to any TV series ever. The last season of The Wire was especially disappointing because I think season 4 was its best season and one of the great achievements in US TV history. I'm not even arguing that The Shield was a greater achievement because it wasn't, but I found it the most consistent and consistently entertaining series of the last decade.

The last Season of the wire felt like an add on.
The last season of the Shield was one of the best final seasons of any show I've ever seen.

Not in the 'sitcom' Daddio he wasn't. He was just a fatty.

For some reason this fills me with sadness and fear.
I know that one day I will watch all of the wire (I only got as far as halfway though season 2), but I also know that I will never be arsed to watch the shield.

PS
Ep 2 of breaking bad. I only started watching the first 10 minutes because my daughter had a nightmare and I wanted to make sure she was asleep again before I left the room. I had my phone with me so started watching and stayed to the end. The 'what the hell are they going to do now' element is quite engaging for now, as is the 'what the hell would I do?'
I have some fingers crossed for the characters better fortune which means i must be rooting for them. A good sign.

Silent Running is on my next to watch list.
Enjoyed Moon too, how can someone find it boring?
Angel A, a French sci-fi shot in beautiful b&w.
It's not so much of a sci-fi though except the story goes she's indeed an angel from above.
Really liked it. The humours in it were smart.
And the part with him looking into himelf in the mirror actually brought tears to my eyes. I was touched.

So many particulars. So many questions.
4 eps 0f buffy season 5. Enter Dawn, the annoying sister. Interesting xander episode where he get split into cool xander and loser xander
The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Season 5 starts of with quite a few comedy episodes doesn't it? (Dracula, Harmony and her minions, Giles & the Magic Shop, Xander's ep).
One of my favourite seasons overall.
And Dawn gets better to be fair, and hotter (once legal I should add).

I didn't know you liked peter greenaway?
Have you seen a Zed and Two Noughts? It's go the best soundtrack of any film ever and a rather good turn by Peter Davidson of all people.
yes i liked that one, it was much better. i didn't spot peter davidson? ken campbell is in there tho.
you can't get most of them on dvd tho, do you have some by any chance? looking for Prospero's Books particularly.

The Big Bad is Glorificus dude. She's the best after the Big Big Bad in S7.
Dawn however, never rises above the level of 'annoying liabilty' IMO.

Giles has been providing the comic relief quite a bit.
There's also an awesome sequence where Buff balances one handed on a post while doing slayer training. Must have taken some real skill to pull that off.
Talking about Buffy, has anyone watched the Dollhouse? The character Faith is the lead actoress on this one. It's about some underground org that provides 'actives' to clients to fullfill their 'engagements' such as sexual fantasy, body guard, hostage negotiator etc. And those 'actives' are loaded with specific personality for specific task. After the job is done their brain gets wiped and back to a blank slate... The cycle continues.
I watched couple season 1 eps recently and I wasn't convinced. The girl is lacking acting skills. However season 2 seems to have more interesting plot as it's built up from season 1.

Dollhouse has issues on a moral level and on a storytelling level. It's Whedon having a wank, basically.

Have you watched them all? There are male and female 'actives' in the show, and if anything the men who hire Echo for the engagements are the sad sacks and wankers in it.

TBF I managed 4 episodes, so perhaps it got better on both levels.

What the fuck am I talking about, I meant JIM DAVIDSON of course.
The BFI have done some DVDs, maybe they have not gotten around to prosperos books.

This is one of the points of the story. Watch on.

Exiled - Johnny To's Macau set hitman, heist, triad, revenge thriller.......plenty of heroic bloodshed, and a fair splattering of Leone, Woo and Peckinpah references...with a fantastic cast of HK regulars.
Really good soundtrack too.
