^ Just seeing Dame Diana there reminds me that it's been far too long since I watched The Avengers. Time to pull out my Emma Peel DVD Mega-Set....

This looks… promising?



Visually, it's extremely faithful to the original. I see several scenes taken directly from the first movie (1995) and Stand Alone Complex.

Other than that… I get the same feeling that I got from Charlize Theron's Aeon Flux.

More generally, I'm glad that cyberpunk is making a comeback as a genre. There was a definite lull after the Matrix sequels.

English character actor Peter Vaughan has passed away at 93.

"Egg, I dreamed that I was old…"

The Expanse is finally available on Amazon Prime Video. Nifty.

I also have to catch up on the new Dirk Gently series and season 4 of Orphan Black, both on BBC America's website.

Except for live sports, there really is no reason to have a traditional cable package anymore, as long as you're willing to wait for what you want to come to one of the other services. Game of Thrones is the only thing I still have to watch immediately, as it is being broadcast, and that only requires a couple months of HBO NOW each year.

Every year I hope some random channel will decide to play the one Christmas movie I haven't been able to watch since I was in middle school and our VHS copy burned out on us, "The Night They Saved Christmas". Every year I'm disappointed.

^ Slightly belated now, but...

Thank you! It won't be the same as being able to watch it with my family on the couch, but it feels great to see it again (and even better to hear it again).

Attack on Titan is even better the second time through, when you catch all of the clues that were there from the beginning. Shonen manga/anime is not usually this subtle. Even the murals shown during the end credits are full of clues.

Hey, shot in the dark--Does anyone here have a copy of Zelda Triforce Heroes for the 3DS and wants to play online??

[Chatin]

I have Triforce Heroes, boinsie!
