What Swanky Things are you Watching? - Page 30

We struggled through The French Connection this week....it was kind of odd. I liked it, but my husband just rolled his eyes. Not his favorite.

Tonight it'll be Survivor. Right now, the girls are watching the first two episodes that we taped for them. Tonight will be our first family night watching it together....they're finally not grounded from TV/Gameboys!

LOST

I love this show. I love it, love it, love it.

What is down the hatch? Why are Hurley's lotto numbers so sinsister? WHAT'S DOWN THE HATCH.

J.J., are you just making it all up as you go along. You are, you bitch. I just bet you are.

LOST

hehehe...I heart Lost too. We're only up to episode 6 or 7 here (we just had the first episode about the Korean couple on Wednesday). I love it! Compulsive viewing....

Sealab 2021 via Netflix. I just love this random insanity, much like Aqua Teen. It gives me the giggles.

I just added Attack of the Clones to our queue so we'd be ready when Revenge of the Sith comes out. I'm going to force myself to watch it again, since I barely remember that piece of schlock.

God damn mother f'n Lucas...

The more I hear about Lost, the more I regret missing it. I'll have to keep my eye out for a marathon to record or something.

mousepod · 03-03-2005, 04:58 PM

I'm ambivalent about Lost.
I've watched every episode and I must admit they're entertaining, but it feels like a decent mini-series stretched out over 5 years. We're more than halfway through the season, and they're introducing more questions instead of answers. I understand the logic of wanting to keep the audience intrigued (was I the only one who watched Twin Peaks after they revealed Laura Palmer's killer?), but the plot doesn't have the depth to sustain such intense stretching. My fear is that the characters are going to become more and more 2-dimensional, even with all the backstory ("Something's missing. Let's ask Sawyer.").

PS You don't have to tell me I'm wrong about any of this. Heather reminds me how wrong I am every Wednesday.

I watched the whole second season and Fire Walk With Me. "New shoes."

Bambi

I'm enthralled. Bambi was my first animated Disney feature when I was a teen, that age where Disney is uncool and "OMG will my friends see me here". I knew crap about a multi plane camera but I knew this was different. I'd seen Swiss Family Robinson and Darby O'Gill and the Little People at the drive-in (And you people think you know swank. It was one of those places with a marquee very much like our own LoT logo) but movies were generally a rare treat for us.

The colors pop again. The artwork is beautiful. And I love the movie for what you don't see. You don't need to see the villain to feel his presence.

OK, since nobody at all has responded in my silly little Mousepod thread, I'm gonna beg here... does anyone want to come on the next show and talk about Bambi? The DVD is so sweet that it's gotta merit a feature. There's so much to say about it, from the obvious to the trivial (baby raccoon, anybody?). If you're up for it, lemme know. Your time, my dime.

I watched every single episode of Twin Peaks, even when it really started to lose it. It still had a spark of interest for me. The worst of Twin Peaks is still better than most of what's good on television, IMO.

Plus, David D shows up in drag. And the conclusion was chilling.

But David Lynch makes his **** up as he goes along all the time. And that just works for him. I wish they'd hurry up with releasing more of the seasons on DVD. And the Pilot. I can't believe they didn't include the original Pilot episode in the Season 1 dvds. Bastards.
