So glad 24 is now on Sky|one, what with the adverts and the crumby logo across the screen, and the Thursday night slot same time as e.r.
*sigh*
I'll just wait until the DVD comes out...

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.
I work as a web designer in Belfast, and I live by the sea in a shoe. You can see me here, doing my livejournal pose as idoru called it. If you need to you can email me at carisenda -at- gmail -dot- com.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it.
- Little Miss Sunshine
†
Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way.
- Laputa: Castle in the Sky
†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool.
- Porco Rosso
†
Stylish, funny, exciting.
- Grave of the Fireflies
†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good.
- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging.
- X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.

Did I ever tell you I had dinner in Paris with the script editor of the first season of 24? No? Let me tell you then: I had dinner with the script editor of the first season of 24 in Paris.
I had the misfortune to be reading in the living room while wifey was watching E.R. It still sucks. And damn I missed 24, though as I can’t abide television, I doubt I would be able to sit through it.
You and the whole world except me had breakfast with a scriptwriter on 24.
e.r. isn’t the masterpiece it once was, granted, but I still like it; you can’t dismiss season 1 and make any claims to good taste IMO.
99% of TV is unappealing to me, ‘can’t abide’ is maybe too strong a phrase for me but then I have a limited dictionary and need to apply my descriptives with care in such a big bad world.
I’m not impressed with 24… but then I’m rarely impressed with TV and I’m offended by shows that assume I’m going to want to watch them every week, there’s much better things to do!
