What Are You Currently Watching (on tv/dvd)?

W*rking my way through all the "Amy/Amelia" episodes of DW.

It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

[Ian]

They certainly do.

Started Dexter season 6 (rented it). First couple of eps were a bit dull to be honest, though it's gotten better now that the main season arc - with this pair of wackjob religious serial killers trying to bring on the end of the world by murdering people in the manner of the Book of Revelations - has kicked off proper.

...trying to bring on the end of the world by murdering people in the manner of the Book of Revelations...

As you do.

[Ian]

That's religion for you.

It's not as good as the last two seasons, I have to say. I fear they may be running out of ideas.

this week in tv is broadcasting cycle - Movie Greats and a now it's about Ingmar Bergman. I saw already - ,,Persona'' and today ,,Cries and Whispers''
Well I still don't know what I should thinking about it. It's so strange and high psychologic that I'm completely at a loss. Camera is in some place very interesting and almost artistic, like he wanted make of all frame of the film something as perfect art-photos. But somewhere it works for me quite paranormal - a lot of frightened views, shots of his face very close range, one man speaks the most. Overall, I find it rather as a theater and not film. But I appreciate the attention to detail , especially in the selection of actors with distinctive features. Furthermore, the composition of the scenes how I already wrote, looks very thoughtfully to the viewer emotionally impressed.

Dollhouse, the short-lived sci-fi drama from Buffy creator Joss Whedon and starring Eliza Dushku, who of course played rogue Slayer Faith in Buffy. Started a couple of weeks back on 11. Pretty good actually so far.

[Ian]

Finished Dexter season 6. Hmm. Some good points (the big twist at the end of episode 9 caught me by surprise, despite the fact it's a huge cliche these days and apparently everyone else worked it out long before I did ) but that was not a good season in general, dude. I see the signs of sharks being jumped actually.

Not a good omen is it?


Watched a couple of episodes of the BBC TV series "True Love"
Came to episode 3.
Billie Piper and Kaya Scoderlario.
Just a beautiful short story.

"I want to be with you every day, like this. "

Effy and Rose!

I shall have to download that.

We had also such a series, each episode was a different story. And one of them was also about lesbian love. It's pretty similar to this, but there was just love between two teachers one of which was already married and had two children. And wrote the screenplay the same script writer as for the film The Dolls. (btw I making subtitles )

[Ian]

Downloading it now.

I Know What I Saw. Seriously interesting documentary about UFOs. You don't realise (largely because the mainstream media just ignores or ridicules the subject) how much real, documented evidence there actually is. Quite disturbing actually.

[fish]

I don't believe in UFOs.

I mean, any alien life form would be out there looking for intelligent life to visit.
Kind of excludes us on Earth n'est pas?

[Ian]

The Avengers: The House That Jack Built. Classic 60s fun.

[DMt.]

The only [other!] time I've ever sent fanmail was to Diana Rigg...I was about 10. She [or the TV company, anyway] sent me a signed photograph

Another Cancerian...hmmm...

[Ian]

lol Cool!

She and her daughter, actress Rachael Stirling, are both appearing in an episode of Doctor Who in the upcoming new season.
