I adore Treme but Jonah it is not going to "pick up the pace." That's the show, loosely plotted vignettes of the characters (who do have arcs, they develop and change and go through stuff just not how tv dictates they usually should) and the city. …

Jonah, admit it you have read every word of the books and this is all performance art. I'm on to you, mister.

GoT is taking next week off because of some boring yankee holiday (the Liberace biopic from Soderberg w Michael Douglas and Matt Damon is on HBO instead) so by the time its back you will be all caught up, clever boy. ;-)

PS Jon Arryn was married to Lysa the creepy breast feeding woman, who is Catelyn's sister.

Jonah: The Mad King Aerys was killed by Jaime who was one of his guards at the time (hence his nickname "the Kingslayer". There is more detail about this given in a season 3 episode). He was Daenerys's father. Robert got to be king because he …

Yeah, I'm way over the Theon stuff. In the books (mild spoiler) IIRC the actual endless torture is largely skipped and you go back to Theon after the psychological and physical destruction is complete - which is the *interesting* part, an actual ar…

Lillyhammer was somewhat amusing but I will always hate it now because when Bruce and E Street Band toured Australia last month for the first time in 10 years Steven wasn't there because he was in Norway shooting it. Lillyhammer is now my eternal n…

"The offer is open to eMusic music subscribers in the US, UK EU and CA"
Well screw you too. -
Listening to this on audiobook while I run in the afternoons, while googling it I see that the Coen brothers have a film very loosely based on it coming out this year.

Please. Clearly eMu is the Houston Astros.

Started this in the GA queue yesterday. Still on a high after 3 shows this week, could happily do dozens more ...

Bruce was brilliant. Queued all day to get right on the stage centre-ish. My calves are really feeling all that jumping up and down today but back to do it all again tomorrow and hopefully Friday. Got some good pics on the phone

I'm about 35% thru the first one and I'm certainly interested in it and its dragging me along HOWEVER (spoiler) the boys are so ungrateful, stupid and annoying I sincerely do not care if they get et by trollucs. In fact, I'd rather welcome it. ;-)

And as a lapsed Russian learner I enjoy testing what I can still understand (which is a fair bit I've been pleased to find, none of the main Russians AFAIK are actually Russian so they're speaking slower than a native speaker... good for me.)
-
OK OK I have finally started reading the first Wheel of Time book. I better not regret it, you guys ... ;-)
-
Anyone watching The Americans? I am liking muchly.
-
The Sister Rosetta episode itself was fairly by the numbers but some amazing archival footage - never seen the England stuff before at the train station or her final Copenhagen gig.
-
Enterprise wasn't great but I liked it well enough. Dr Phlox was my favourite too. I put off watching it because I was so appalled at the theme song, so only watched it all over christmas. And just back to the finale, Riker and Troi weren't just a c…
-
You say kitschy I say repeatedly smashing the fans through the face with a poisoned morningstar. Whatever my hatred of where BSG went, I didn't feel it was like a deliberate insult, which Enterprise really felt like to me. What Bad Thoug…
-
THANK YOU choiceweb0pen0 !!! I thought I had searched adequately for such internet radio but obviously not.
I'm reading
-
Oh god don't get me started on the ending of BSG. Haaaaaaaaate with the fire of a thousand suns. There is a CSI episode which has a Ron Moore-esque producer who is revamping a beloved sf show getting beaten to death and I found that very satisfyi…

I've only just started learning French but part of the reason is because I listen to so much Cajun/Zydeco/Creole/Quebec folk music (yes, yes I know they're not exactly the same but you have to start somewhere. Alliance Francaise de Sydney doesn't of…

60 pages in living up to my high expectations so far.

I'm really looking forward to House of Cards which Netflix will be putting up (all 13 episodes at once - binge alert!) on 1st Feb. I was a huge fan of the original UK series (I was 13 when it came out which in retrospect looks like slack parenting…
-
Independent People is basically my favourite novel so I heartily recommend a read. Also know who is Iceland's only Nobel Prize winner is a great trivia question. ;-)
-
This letter is fairly old now, I followed the brouhaha when it first came out. I'd be interested to know if Emily has ever reflected or followed up on it.

I'm reading Octavia Butler's "Lillith's Brood" scifi trilogy, the first of which is "Dawn", which I'm half way through and loving. When I google image searched for the cover a lot of pics of the original release (which was only 1987, not that long…
-
Quite excellent thus far if you are into the backroom business and egos of hollywoodland.
-
Um, wow.
-
Hmmm want. "The Baron" soundtrack is no doubt considered one of the mediocre ones but I still listen to it a lot, must've watched the film a hundred times as a kid.
