Seem to be juggling TV and Films at the mo -
Rewatching
Firefly and
The Wire from the start (persuaded my housemate to give both a go, seems to have worked in both cases
). The Wire's obviously been done to death on here, but I'd forgotten how great some of the dialogue in Firefly is, it's fucking hilarious in places, not to mention pretty dark at times.
Also started watching
The Pacific on Blu-Ray - so very, very pretty
Hardly any of the 'set-up' that Band of Brothers had either, just thrown onto Guadacanal and into a terrifying jungle of firefights and close-quarters combat. Oddly the 3rd episode slows things down massively as the Marines get some R&R in Melbourne, but it's definitely keeping my interest. Bit of an issue telling the characters apart (especially when they're covered in blood / dirt), but I imagine it will get easier.
Movie-wise, I was recovering from a hangover the other day, so went for the easy watching of
Zack & Miri Make A Porno, followed by
Naked Gun (in honour of Mr Neilsen). Zack & Miri was fairly amusing fluff (Justin Long steals the film as a gay porn star with Brandon Routh), Elizabeth Banks is pretty good with what she's given to do and Seth Rogen does his usual schtick.
Naked Gun was as good as ever
And there was me thinking the family in Visitor Q was dysfunctional.
