Ooh, I've wanted to see this ever since I heard Viggo interviewed by Terry Gross. How is it? I really didn't like this movie. I feel what the movie lacked in story and plot it tried to make up for with violence. Frankly, I was bored. As for me, I've been watching a metric assload of Good Eats, I just can't get enough of that show. Dexter season two is what's current from NetFlix and I'm getting ready to settle into the final episodes of BSG.

 Re: What have you watched recently?
Been watching Max Headroom on AOL Video as current television, outside of Food Network's Good Eats and Parking Wars on A&E, is a vast wasteland of meh, IMHO

 Re: What have you watched recently?
Since finally getting cable about six months back, I've gotten hooked on a few shows:
House NCIS Top Chef: New York Burn Notice Leverage
I'll occasionally browse CSI (though I find it tough to watch CSI: Miami, which really comes across more as a science-fiction show set maybe fifty years in the future, but only with respect to forensic science and metropolitan architecture) and Law & Order (though this is less a fave than it used to be--too often there seems to be a stretch to get a particular plotline convoluted enough to not be immediately guessed).
I was very surprised to find myself so addicted so quickly to Top Chef, though--there's something that's just a hair more... real about this particular reality show (even though they use all the usual editing tricks to create the narrative they want); maybe it's just that, in the end, the competitions actually make sense for the goal and the prize: "Here's some less-than-ideal conditions--make a great meal."

24...beyond that, I mostly watch the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel. Sometimes I check out the Smithsonian Channel or History Channel for anything interesting that may be on.

All caught up on BSG now. Though now I have to wait and watch the episodes as they come out... Also got into Big Bang Theory. Very funny show. Also I still love How I Met Your Mother. NPH rules.

What did you think of it? Also, I went on to read the next book in the series. 2100? 2060? I can't remember, but it was also very good. Someone should make a movie.
