quickly before bed

Damn it, John. Now I really want to see Black Death again. Everyone else in Film Club needs to watch this movie so that we can discuss it openly. You have until I am done with classes in 3 weeks. I agree, John, this film allows viewers lots of space to think.

BSG has some of the best characters of any TV show ever. I appreciate the fact that all the characters have flaws and their evolution throughout the series is something remarkable. From episode to episode you never know quite what to think or feel about some of the characters. Some of the ones we cheered for in the beginning become hated in the end and vice versa. Can't wait to read thoughts on BSG as you two (John and Lisa) progress through the episodes. Next time Lisa is in Binghamton we need to have a BSG viewing party.




For TV that is on right now, Game of Thrones is a ton of fun to watch. Treme might be the best show since The Wire. 

Other recent favorites of mine include:

  • The Wire
  • Lost
  • Carnivale (has anyone else seen this? I'd love to discuss it)
  • Firefly
  • Dollhouse (for all the network-induced flaws there is some good stuff going on in there)
  • Boardwalk Empire
  • True Blood
  • Dead Like Me
  • Californication
  • Weeds
  • The West Wing
  • The Tudors
  • Community (best, most "meta" comedy on TV right now)
