A counterpart to the 'what are you listening to?' threads, which I suspect won't catch on as well. I'm presently watching the very cheap and rubbish Justice League Of America movie. It is very lame indeed.

i was just about to go and catch the end of the last Buffy, tho i rarely watch the show and am not a big fan. i just feel like its something i should see.

Justice League of America movie??????

I rented Matrix Reloaded and X2 (thank god for bootlegged studio copies, otherwise i'd have to wait months to see this crap)

Enjoyed both more than i expected i would.

The JLA movie is very low budget and more dull than you can possibly imagine.

I'm now watching Dark Angel, having watched Charmed in between. Eventually I might watch something good, who knows? We apparently have a Law & Order later starring Julia Roberts. How does that happen?

I just watched the last ten minutes of a documentary presented by Eddie Izzard about immigration in Britain called Mongrel Nation. Hopefully I'll get to see the rest some time.

i've seen that law and order! as i remember she is the defendant.

At some point I'll break out the new Cure DVD, but I'm off for a wander, some record shopping and the like.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!!

yoda is funny

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 14 June 2003 18:24 (twenty-two years ago)

i finally accepted that much of the script and acting in Empire Strikes Back is just as lame as in Episodes 1 & 2

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 14 June 2003 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

nooooo!! (ok, yes)

i just gave up on "strange"

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 14 June 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

The HGTV Saturday morning gardening shows (my no-longer-secret shame).

I very, very rarely sit down and watch anything on TV anymore. If I do have it on I use it as a kind of background noise. Though yesterday I watched Adam & Joe Go Tokyo, and the day before that I watched my old video of Eraserhead.

my fraggle rock collective. everything else is... well.. faggotry.

Total Recall, I think I've seen this before.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 14 June 2003 20:40 (twenty-two years ago)

get off the stage

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 14 June 2003 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

'City Slickers'. I'm taping the 'Out-of-Towners' remake on the other side. For 'research'.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Saturday, 14 June 2003 21:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Julia Roberts isn't an actress I've ever cared for at all, but I thought she was good in L&O, in a very unpleasant role.

Also tonight: the leather jacket that is my regular casual wear shows up in Big Brother as part of '50s fancy dress (well, not the same one - that's hanging in my hallway). Since my sense of what looks good, explicitly including that jacket, comes especially from Brando in the Wild One, this is fair enough.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 14 June 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i can't be bothered watching the end of total recall and am going to bed

(lightning review from memory: instead of sex scenes, verhoven throws arnie and the girl out onto the surface of the airless red planet where their strangulated and hideously bulging facial orgasmic throes precede a blissful release involving the entire planet? he's a funny funny guy when it comes to non-gay sex... )

(i didn't see all of the orwell thing but i liked some of it more than i expected)

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 14 June 2003 21:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Ergo the whole thing is great. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 14 June 2003 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

well of course

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 14 June 2003 23:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Julia Roberts was on "Law & Order" because her then-boyfriend Benjamin Bratt was one of the stars of the program. The two of them have broken up, Benjamin has gotten married to an actress named Talisa Soto, Bratt and Soto are now parents, and Julia's moved on to a countless number of other boyfriends.

Star magazine, thank you for all of the above useless information.

What did I watch today? Hmmmm. Mostly cooking shows. I am most happy indeed to see the return of "Cucina Sicilia" on our local PBS station, and pleased it fit into the general theme of the afternoon, i.e. Italian cooking. On the Food Network they showed nothing but barbecue specials, which I also watched.

*pauses for a moment*

I'm sorry. I was just daydreaming about being on "Food 911". ;)

At 8 p.m. tonight, I will be watching something completely non-food related -- "America's Most Wanted". Closet vigilante, moi? (Guess that whole "nine of my relatives are cops" thing fits into the genetic scheme of things. Hee.)

actually the whole Star Wars trilogy really sucks

"Empire" was a brief moment of mediocrity in the overall crap that was to be and is. Looking back Star Wars was terrible, Empire was mediocre and Jedi was an insult to our intelligence (our being used in the species sense)

The latest assaults on us by Lucas can hopefully be left to die in peace.

― H (Heruy), Saturday, 14 June 2003 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

saying the acting in Star Wars is bad is a bit like saying the Monkees didn't play their own instruments - i.e., YAWN.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Sunday, 15 June 2003 05:04 (twenty-two years ago)

tho most of the acting/script in Return of the Jedi really IS bad, sadly.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Sunday, 15 June 2003 05:04 (twenty-two years ago)

...and I did see that new Cure DVD and it's fantastically brilliant. What a band.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 15 June 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Normally I'm watching whatever animated adult fare is being offered (primarily Simpsons and King of the fucking Hill). If there is no animation then I am rocking the Law & Order - - everey variety baby!

Today however, I only got up in time to go to work and then get off and see

SLICK 57 LIVE IN CONCERT!!! This band rocks my musical and sexual casbah more than you can believe so this was the best Saturday I've had in a long time. I can go to bed happy tonight. yay.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Sunday, 15 June 2003 06:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Pop World.

*sigh* Steve, my comic talents are wasted here!

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 15 June 2003 07:25 (twenty-two years ago)

an interview with Kelly and Sharon Osbourne.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 15 June 2003 07:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Emmanuelle in Venice

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 15 June 2003 08:02 (twenty-two years ago)

The Canadian Grand Prix. They interviewed Ozzy just before it started but my dad phoned so I missed what could have been potentially the best interview ever - Jim Rosenthal v Ozzy Osbourne.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 15 June 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

tonight i am going to watch shortland street, possibly tv one news as well, and definitely the series "give it a whirl" which is the history of new zealand pop/rock music.

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 16 June 2003 02:18 (twenty-two years ago)

For the first time today I saw both Polyester and Desparate Living. John Waters really is some kinda crazy genius.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 16 June 2003 02:27 (twenty-two years ago)

being monday it would normally be Secret Life of Us but instead the mini-series After the Deluge is on so i'll probably be watching that, plus Malcolm in the Middle and Friends repeats.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 16 June 2003 02:31 (twenty-two years ago)

NBA finals and then Oliver Beene, tres charmant.

crank yankers

― ron (ron), Monday, 16 June 2003 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I just saw the new Pink video.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 16 June 2003 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

six months pass...

I saw The Darkness' video for Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) which reaffirmed my faith in humanity. Whatever else they do, The Darkness should release a christmas song every year for the next 20.

Also I saw Ashton Kutchner's Diary on MTV, where he turns up in Las Vegas to officiate at a dual wedding, and also hang around at the Stag Party. "They had a girl burst out of a cake with all her clothes on. There were exotic models all over the stage, but we were watching four guys playing twister. Snoop, if you're watching, I had nothing to do with this, man".

Nothing gives as much hope to a new relationship, if you are actually willing to allow Ashton Kutcher within 10 feet of the bride.

two years pass...

Fuck a Wednesday.

There aint shit on TV tonight.
