Oct. 4th, 2006 01:21 amToday, Sarah and I went to see The Science of Sleep. Parts of it were good and visually I enjoyed it, but yeeeeahh, kind of weird. I'm not sure whether I really liked the movie as whole, similar to how I'm not sure at what point the tone of the movie went from being sweet and kind of fey to sad and creepy.
Also, I went to Walmart and exchanged my broken dvd recorder so now I can record all the new shows on tv and never have to worry about having a life again. Thank Jebus.
Some thoughts:
I'm liking Heroes better than I thought it would. It's definitely comic book geeky, but fun. I think they'd probably do better though if they slowed down and did character-centric episodes, à la Lost, instead of cramming everybody into each episode. I like the Japanese guy and Greg Grunberg's characters best so far, although I'm still convinced that no sane, self-respecting office worker would ever make a clock go backwards.
I'm liking Studio 60 less than I thought I would. I like the actors in it, but the writing seems less than believable so far, which is really distracting. They totally need to stop showing the comedy show bits, because they make it sound like Aaron Sorkin has never even watched a sketch comedy before. For the second episode, they dug up Gilbert & Sullivan and this episode, the characters were pissed off that people weren't gettting commedia dell'arte. Not exactly as hip and edgy as it's supposed to be.
Boston Legal, sanctuary for Star Trek refugees, now more than ever. I wish they would cut down on the other characters and just focus on Spader and Shatner. Denny Crane will end up marrying the dwarf girl, I'm calling it now.
Lost tomorrow! Yays!
