Spartacus: Blood and Sand's first episode is streaming worldwide, so I'm watching that. Just loads of gratuitous sex and blood. And sand. Apparently it gets more interesting, thought-wise, later on but for now, I'm good to go.

It's pretty much 300: The TV Series starring Xena: Warrior Princess.

Right now watching Angel, Angel and some more Angel. Lent all five seasons from a friend and coming up to the end of season two, so far so good.

Your watching Buffy as well, right? I never understood how people could watch one without the other.

Oh ya I seen all the buffy Season's. Half of the stuff that goes on in the background in Angel would make far less sence I am guessing if a person had watched Angel without buffy first.

With Buffy and Angel it is almost worth watching it one for one when the Angel series splits from Buffy as the stories have a link.

Alastair Campbell pulling a Glenn Beck. I am almost incredulous.

"Wahh, feel sorry for me... so that you're on my side when I launch into attack mode in about 20 seconds time!"

What's that sound? Oh, it's credibility in British Politics gurgling down the drain.

Stargate Atlantis. Apparently, I still have a ridiculously huge crush on John Sheppard.

BBC 2's Winter Olympics 2010 Highlights.

Ponyo and Totoro double bill has left me with the need to cool down.

I can only sink zhat no-von else understands ze significance of zhis.

It's a parody, and it's still funny even if you don't know who Werner Herzog is.

The Trap - What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom?

F*ck me. Everybody should watch this film and it's two sequels - Everybody who is willing to spare three hours of their lives in return for partial enlightenment. Although they delve into politics they aren't really political films at all (as the title might suggest), they are films which attempt to explain how more and more humans have become selfish, depressed, paranoid and disconnected socially in the last few decades.

That sounds interesting... in a depressing kind of way. I think I'll have a look later.

I actually found myself taking up a stance against the filmmaker to begin with, as he attempted to dismantle what in my opinion were some fairly sound (and pretty pessimistic) theories about humanity. But I stuck with it and found it fascinating. It left me thinking that perhaps I have been buying into a massive misconception about people's true nature, and from that point of view it has an ever-so-slightly-hopeful rather than a might-as-well-slit-your-wrists-now message.

endless episodes of hignfy

Not right now because that'd be Berserk, but the show I'm currently in head-over-heels in love with is Community. It's self-aware, has Chevy Chase and Joel McHale, no laugh track and is one of the best comedies on television right now. NBC's thursday night comedy line-up is just brilliant.

Adam Curtis is convincing in all of his programmes. I looked everywhere on the internet for a DVD release of The Trap and The Power of Nightmares and now I find it, a US release on Amazon. It seems too good to be true.

Anyway, I'm watching Matt Smith on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.
