how bad am i
A list of things I have DLed lately and enjoyed. Being addicted to fast connections and free things is morally degrading me. I think I will kick puppies next.
- Doctor Who, seasons one & two, TV -- Marmy wanted to catch up on the episodes we missed while not remembering when it was on CBC. Catching all the missed references to Torchwood are fun.
- Torchwood, season two, TV -- We are watching these as they become available and enjoying them as much as we did first season. Jack's innuendo and sometimes not-so-much-innuendo still cracks me up.
- Denno Coil, anime -- a great anime for kids about a cyber world within a cyber world. Kids get glasses in order to see the cyberworld, have cyberpets, call up HUDs, etc. but there seems to be a definite reference that this is only one layer of many.
- Iron & Wine, music -- I just got the entire collection and I am moving slowly through it with my barely-one-day of use on my iPod. Recharging every day bugs the shite out of me.
- City and Colour, music -- Ditto as above but not started yet.
- The Invasion, movie -- Bodysnatchers remake that moves much much quicker than any other version and adds the idea of a quick response when people start acting weird. But the ending flops.
- The Golden Compass, movie -- An Oscar "for your consideration" copy and really, you don't often notice how they re-do the colour of a movie until you see such a grand scale film. And this was quite grand but unfortunately, like the Narnia movie, fell flat for me. I liked it as elements but as a movie, yawn.
- Good Luck Chuck, movie -- A whim DL to waste some saturday morning time. There was a decent date movie hidden in this pile of crap, deeply hidden. Why do current comedy movie makers always have to include the What About Mary? crassness in a cute comedy?
- The Simpson, movie -- DLed but not watched yet; why not?
- Stargate Atlantis, season 3 -- This show started as my guilty pleasure, as it was not available in Canada. But with Season 3 starting on Space this year, I decided I wanted to catch up and see Season 4. I can safely say this was the "we are settled into it" season for this show, well done and character driven.
- Stargate Atlantis, season 4 -- Completing season 3 while I was down & out in flu's ville, I began grabbing the current season. All caught up now. I am somewhat disappointed that Dr. Keller is turning out to be another Rodney-wimp. We only need one.
- Band of Horses, Cease to Begin, music -- One of a handful of bands I am listening to because they played live of MTV Canada. This was the best.
- Wintersleep, Welcome to the Night Sky, music -- Another MTV Canada band, this time from NS. Not bad but not a favourite.
- The Gossip, music -- Ditto but not from NS. Pretty damn good but not listened to enough. The danger of non-tangible music.
- There are more and I will update this when I get the chance...
