Right, let the schedule sucking begin!

I was updating my checklist of movies and television I'd watched and I found something fairly startling: until this past Sunday, I hadn't seen a new movie--in the theater, on DVD or on TV--in about a month and a half. Given that my family has a billion movie channels at home, I have Netflix, and I borrow stuff constantly from friends, this is amazing. I even went over my LJ posts and my Netflix history to be sure, and found that this was indeed the case. Netflix history might have explained it though: for about a month and a half, all I watched was Red Dwarf, so there you are. Now that I've got two discs at a time, I've even less space for movies because I'm trying to rape the account to get through TV shows I can't watch on actual TV (no access to HBO, shows are already on second seasons, etc).

If anyone has TV show rec, I'm all ears. Currently, I've got The 4400, Carnivale, Dr. Who, Rome, and I think Prison Break (I can't help it! TWoP really liked it, and I tend to agree with that reviewer, so I'm gonna give it a chance).

House was terribly cute last night, especially as House was juggling an underage stalker (ugh, why do they make him do clinic when the guy who shot him is still on the loose!?) and trying to annoy Cuddy into replacing the new carpet for the old one (because it has the blood stains still on it from when he was shot, and House is morbid as all get out). I barely remember what happened that was unrelated to either of those two stories.

But, of course, the great rescheduling--ALL HAIL BASEBALL, FUCKERS--means there will be no new House episodes until after the World Series. This? This is why I hate sports. Well, not entirely, but it's a large fucking part of it. I hate hate hate that because some asswipes being paid millions need to mostly stand around scratching their asses for three-four hours, I have to wait an entire month for new House. I'll wither without more Laurie! Come on, Fox, don't do this to me!!

I had a LOST dream about Jack, Kate and Sawyer (minds out of the gutter! I know viridian went there, and I'm reasonably sure deepredbelle might be in similar peril) being beat on by the Others. So, basically, since my brain can't care about Kate, and Jack, though hot, was supplanted by Sawyer a long time ago as my favorite LOST-wubby, it was all about Sawyer (the other two were just there for some reaction shots). Very happy me. He had some information that (SEE SPOILER) wanted, and they weren't satisfied with his being a smartass about not giving it up (hey, once you've been tortured by a professional, I'm sure there's nothing that SPOILER! can do to you to scare you a whole lot).

Oh yeah, I'm ready for the new season to begin. Especially as the last season had one of the hottest shots of why Sawyer is so badass: he, Jack, and Kate are gagged and bound, but only Sawyer is at all resisting this by standing on his knees rather than sitting on his legs. So fucking hot, his absolute refusal to submit. It makes one want to dominate him all the more.... ::drools::

feiran and I finished the first three episodes of...okay, I have no idea what season this is really because in the USA we call it "the first season" but it's coming thirty years after they came up with the original concept, so I'm going to go with we watched the first three episodes of the Ninth Doctor Who. If not for the Doctor being fairly hilarious in his expressions (though if he finds everything either amusing or deadly tragic for the entire series, I'll be less forgiving) and Rose not being annoying, I'd be a little less enthused. So far, it's finding its footing, but it's doing a lot of weird "we don't have enough for a full episode, so have some filler" stuff. Not like extraneous scenes but really, really, really long pauses and rethinks in each scene. Balls to that.

I asked darkling1 if they were going to explain...well, everything, seeing as this is picking up from a long history of stuff, and he basically said they weren't gonna, which means that after I get through this season, I'm going to have to look it up (no spoilers! can't abide spoilers!)

I haven't. I can still recall the entire clip for Speed 2: Speed Reading. I haven't seen every episode, but nearly so, and I used to write down all the titles of the movies Jay reviewed (like I did with the ones that Troy McClure starred in, ::sniff sniff::). I do need to buy that set. I meant to get it last Christmas (DeepDiscount had a buy one, get one, and I just couldn't find something else to buy for someone else). But it's easily one of my favorite animated series, and that's saying a lot.
