Ok, so as well as catching Two and a half men, I'm watching The Apprentice and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares when it's on. Started Chuck too which seems a bit weird.

When I'm on the tube or bus, or at lunch I watch a SouthPark episode on my iPhone. In a month I've got through about 5 series, I'm upto Ginger Kids.

Bully the Larry Clark film. I expected to hate this as I did all the others of his I've seen, but actually it's pretty good. Maybe because it's loosely based on a true story, and the handling of the kind of group psychology was done well.

I watched 'London to Brighton' last weekend. What a nasty little shit of a film that is. It's 'underclass porn' designed for safe middle class types such as myself to watch and think 'what nasty horrible scummy people these are. I'm glad my life isn't like that'.

Rank.

I watched Appleseed: Ex Machina over the weekend. It's a CG-anime film produced by John Woo based on the manga by the same guy who wrote Ghost in the Shell and directed by the same guy too, I think. It's better than the first Appleseed film. The dialog is a bit stiff, but the giant robots/mech suits, flying machines, shoot-up sequences and overall visual look of it is really sweet. Did I mention the mech suits?

I've been actively avoiding "Only Sitcom in The Top 10" Two and a half men for, what, three or four years now. It looks like a train wreck. Two '80s has-beens and a kid. If there's anything I hate more, I can't think of what it might be.
So, the other night, of the 600-odd channels on our satellite, there's just plain NOTHING on. I end up watching 2 1/2 Men. And you know what? It was funny. Not Seinfeld funny. Not ironic The Office/CYE/Arrested Development funny. No; genuine, plain-old laughs funny. The kid is surprisingly good, and the larfs aren't as cheap and obvious as I figured they might be. So now I've got a fair bit of catching up to do.

I think you might get tired of it pretty fast. It's basically one joke. Well, two jokes (one of them's uptight, the other one's irresponsible).

Also it seems based on the idea that Charlie Sheen is irresistibly attractive to women, rather than a slightly simple looking bloke with no lips and a weird chin.

The Eye - the new remake that is. I actually quite enjoyed this, for what it is, it'snot bad at all.

Camping Sauvage I liked this; it's really lovely to look at, in total contrast to the content; it's weirdly romantic though, too.

Iron Man what an odd odd film. At first I thought it was poiltically very dubious - then it totally reversed that - but what an odd mixture of comic superhero and commentary on US foreign policy.

Having spent my Easter break on a fast-paced 'Battlestar Galactica' dvd marathon, I'll soon be able to read the thread on it without fear.

Desperate Housewives. How will Gabi dump Carlos ?

Dunno, but last week I watched Desperate Housewives for the first time since the first series.

There was a scene in it that was so similar to my life it was spooky. One of the Housewives (the one married to the guy from Fargo in real life) came down the stairs dressed like a slutty cheerleader and said to her husband - 'Are you coming to bed now?' To which he replies - 'Not quite yet, I'm got to change my Fantasy Football team.'

All exactly like my life every Friday night (except for the slutty cheerleader bit).

By the way, Lyra - I'm impressed you could slip in the fact that you'd seen Iron Man so casual, like. I'll be starting a brand new thread when I see it - as shiny as his armour.

And - grrrr - when are you going to sort out Current Watching into 2 seperate threads? Is it only me who is annoyed by it?

The last two weekends, I've been downloading films that I either haven't seen for years or that I've never seen before. Yesterday, I had the curious double bill of "Death Race 2000" and "Manhattan". They were, I thought, both great.

The Shield, season 3.

Still brilliant. If The Wire is better than this, I can't fucking wait to get stuck in to it.

Only rank amateurs make fantasy football transfers on a Friday, without the benefit of Saturday morning's team news.
