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

[Rebecka Fan]

Started The X Files season 2 last night. Little Green Men is a tad dull, but The Host is enjoyably icky.

My mamma is an X-Files Freak! She just loves and has anything X-Files. one of our spare rooms is filled floor to ceiling with shelves and cabinets all filled with X-Files stuff; DVD's, scripts, rare videos, posters, autographed pictures, fan pictures, dolls, lunch boxes, video games, books, computer games and a lot more. Quite interesting.

Well, that's pretty cool about your mum, Kyle. At least she understands the fan obsessive thing.

Yeah. My Step Dad is a fan of WKRP in Cinncinatti. he doesn't have nearly as much stuff as my Mum does for X-Files, but he's slowly growing his collection. My collection is for 2 and a Half Men stuff as far as TV goes. Oh and of course Eva & Adam. I've got lots of EA stuff.

I've got way too much to list (in terms of dvds). My main obsessions, though, have been (as you could probably tell from my YT page) Doctor Who, Cody and FA/Rebecka/Alex.

''Melissa P." (2005) Italian/ Spanish co-production. Dir. Luca Guadagnino. Starring Maria Velverde. Unusual coming of age plot focussing on inter-relationships between three generations of women. Discord with her mother, her absent father, and those around her catapult Melissa into an anarchic voyage of sexual self-discovery.

There is a very long but honest commentary documentary along with the film on the DVD, which is in itself a fascinating insight into the trials and tribulations of film-making.

Melissa P (book and movie) are generally known in Italy for being ABSOLUTE CRAP.

I don't want to impose an opinion, it's just for information.

It sometimes is the case that writers, directors etc and their works do not receive due artistic recognition in their country of origin.

Had a bit of an X-Files marathon last night, watched 3 eps, Blood, Sleepless and Duane Barry. All very good, especially Blood and DB. Very enjoyable.

"Summer Things" (2002), Dir. Michel Blanc. Light comedic French bourgois romantic/ farce. Very agreeable. Probably better watched on a summer evening over a bottle of wine with congenial company, as an entree to other things

Finished off the last season of the great British comedy One Foot In The Grave last night. Anybody else watch this show here?

Classic dark comedy. Victor Meldrew was a hero for the ages.

I've seen a few episodes. I love watching watching Britcoms!! My favorites are: Keeping Up Appearances, Are You Being Served?, Are You Being Served?....Again, Vicar of Dibley, As Time Goes By, Mulberry and Waiting for God.

[Ian]

I remember Waiting For God being good, but I haven't seen it for donkeys years.

Have you seen Blackadder, Drop the Dead Donkey, Only Fools & Horses, Kyle? All classics!
