Weekend Posting

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

The snows have returned – in force. Makes for a cozy weekend of sports-watching (the victorious MSU basketball team) and DVD watching (more Bones and Battlestar Galactica). After a whirlwind housecleaning, that is. After all, we must try to be *somewhat* productive, mustn’t we?

In more exciting news, Cherie Priest’s Those Who Went Remain There Still arrived today. Subterranean Press‘s Limited Edition with chapbook, of course. After recently finishing her other recent release, Fathom, I’m very much looking forward to more of Ms. Priest’s writing.

Oh, we also watched Bangkok Dangerous with some friends. It was worse than I expected. We made it through the whole thing, so I suppose I’ll give it 2 stars.

Happy New Year!

…and all that jazz.

Not much to report here other than on-again-off-again snow, work, holidays, college football, and lots of movies.

In addition to the traditional Christmas Season viewing of Die Hard, we took in Kung Fu Panda1, Tropic Thunder2, Get Smart3, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog4, and the first season of Bones5. Also on the docket is Stardust, as well as the first season of Battlestar Galactica6.

Gotta love the holidays!


1 – Decent film; a few laughs, enough of a plot to keep me interested and entertained for the duration. 3.5 stars.

2 – Could have been worse. I was expecting worse. Also kept me interested for the duration and at least made me curious enough to sample the commentary. Briefly. 3 stars.

3 – Not bad. Not great either, but – for someone with no familiarity with the original work – entertaining. 3.5 stars.

4 – Saw this when it was originally released online. Love love love. Watched almost all the supplements (including both(!) commentaries). 5 stars.

5 – A favorite of mine. 5 stars.

6 – Taken in the mini-series so far. Well done and engrossing. 4 stars.
