I remember Dark Shadows. There was even a remake of the series back in the late 80s or early 90s. It only lasted about half a season though.
Yesterday I watched Dragon Age: Redemption, a short movie made from several webisodes. For what it was, it was rather good. Felicia Day stars as an elf, and put in a good performance. Most of the characters are pretty stock, and the plot nothing original. But they did it all very well, for what is basically something that is just one step up from a fan movie.
It made me try out The Guild, also with Felicia Day. It is something I have hemmed and hawed over watching for a long time now. Netflix has it on instant viewing, so I watched the first episode last night. It is just ridiculous, with a cast representing the many stereotypes of gamers, all taken to comedic extremes of course. It was fun, and Day is a joy to watch. I added the rest of the series to my disc queue.

Okay, thanks. I'm not sure if I'll have time to watch that today. Especially if it's over an hour. I'm at work. :/ Kinda off-topic kinda/sorta but I got DA: Origins a few years back. I think it was Origins. Whatever DA everybody complains about, that's the one I got at home. Anyways, I popped it in, sat thru the opening movie and stuff, but when it came time to actually start playing the game, I couldn't get interested for some reason. I think I tried for half an hour, moved my character around and stuff. I just couldn't get into it. Compare that to the beginning of Oblivion and Skyrim. In both games I was hooked from the moment the opening credits started rolling. Not that I'm putting the DA series down, but I just thought it was interesting I literally had no interest in the game, whereas with TES I would have probably kicked anybody who would have dared take the controller out of my hand during my first playthrough!

Cartoons? Seems I'm not the only one. Don't really know why though. Probably because I wanted to watch from a "grown-up" perspective. Not much difference, still watched it like a kid.

Just finished watching "They Might be Giants" with George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward. Without saying too much, it is about a retired judge in modern-day (well 1971 modern day) Manhattan who believes he is Sherlock Holmes.
Upon being taken to a clinic to be evaluated for commitment, he meets Dr. Watson- (Woodward).
The cast is filled with character actors an old dog like me recognizes with pleasure. The story has an innocence that worked at the end of the 1960's, before Watergate, before- well, so much of the last 40 years.
The title is from Don Quixote- regarding the windmills that he perceives as giants.
Perhaps the best quote is delivered near the end- as George C. Scott demonstrates WHY he was brilliant at his craft:
"Dear friends, would those of you who know what this is all about please raise your hands? I think if God is dead he laughed himself to death. Because, you see, we live in Eden. Genesis has got it all wrong. We never left the Garden. Look about you. This is paradise. It's hard to find, I, I'll grant you, but it is here. Under our feet, beneath the surface, all around us is everything we want. The earth is shining under the soot. We are all fools."

QUOTE(Grits @ Mar 31 2012, 08:29 AM) Were having a Games of Thrones marathon this weekend. Its raining, and the calendar is otherwise mostly empty. I saw the first season for sale on blu-ray a few weeks ago for $50. I was so tempted to buy it. But I still have not seen it yet. I never watch tv shows on tv. If it looks interesting I either netflix it, or buy it. That way I can watch the whole thing at once, without having to wait a week between episodes. I want to get it netflix first, just to be sure I like it. Seeing that Sean Bean is in the first season (at least until, well, I don't want to spoil things for anyone), I am sure I will like it though.

Spartacus: Vengeance, season finale episode. Depressing. Don't watch it if you seen the series before. Now, I never seen the new Wrath of the Titans, but I will definetly check it out. I take your word for it, Badgere. I never got into Game of Thrones, but I heard it's AWESOME.

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”
