Another Infamous Lapse of Willpower

This week, it was Horatio Hornblower. There's this A&E box set special, 50% off. So, yeah, I bought the set. It's well worth it, and I'll get to see the other half of the movies that my parents didn't have on their set without having to wait weeks at a time to get through them (I should really upgrade my Netflix account). And this after I picked up Pitch Black, Love, Actually, and Dragnet this weekend (hey, there was a sale, and Dragnet was free, so back off).

Just putting it out there. Anyone wants to borrow them in about two weeks when I get them, feel free to bug me about it. I feel bad about the $40 expenditure, but I got bribed by my parents as reward for going home this weekend to chauffeur my sister, so I can spare it. It's worth it for a huggable box set with the oh-so-cute Mr. Gruffudd and Mr. Bamber. I'd have bought the first half of Battlestar Galactica Season 2.0, but I want to wait until it's all out on DVD. I expect that will be a better value.

How could you discuss King Arthur and not talk about...well, King Arthur? Clive Owen is sex walking, you ask me, so it says something very particular about Ioan Gruffudd's ability that I paid him any attention at all (Clive Owen sucks the collective attention of an audience to him at all times--look at his like two lines in The Bourne Identity, he nearly stole the entire movie from Matt Damon). But other than the entirely fun fight scenes, and the husband-and-wife bickering between Arthur and Lancelot, no it didn't have too too much to recommend it. I enjoy it, but it's not one I'd go out and buy for myself.

I must agree with you on the giggle-fest that is Mr. Fantastic's name. I think that's why most people call him by his real name, which may be (since he's a bloody genius) what he intended all along (he probably doesn't truck much with the superhero name thing).

Hi, Emily. I'm Dayle. I shall add you back because I like making interweb friends. Hurrah!
