I make a poor choice

To my great regret I watched the movie Alexander tonight (well, most of it--I got bored a lot so I fast forwarded through various scenes). The first words to come to mind are WTF? I knew it would be bad, but come on.

I'm sure everyone has already complained sufficiently about it, but I have to add that as bad as I expected it to be I didn't expect it to make Alexander into a weak, uncharsmatic little pissant (whose main expression seemed to be one of wide-eyed nervous surprise) or to make Hephaestion into a stand in for a woman.

Okay, not really worth getting too annoyed about. I was warned. But one more thing: eye liner. Really, Oliver, I'm surprised at you.

Dead Like Me

I've been watching the season 1 dvds of Dead Like Me and love the show. I actually liked it so much that I was contemplating ordering showtime just to watch it (and I've never had a premium channel, refusing to fork over yet more money to the stupid cable company--in fact up until fairly recently I didn't even have regular cable, I only got it because I had to pay nearly the same amount for high speed internet without the cable--stupid thieving cable company). Lo and behold, it turns out, that like most actually good TV shows, Dead Like Me has been canceled.

I have the second (and last) season dvds, but now I don't want to watch them, because then there will be no more. Idiot networks.


Oh, but woke up to snow--first time this winter in the city.
