Pleasant media Related news:

H's extended copy of Two Towers is finally here, along with *ahem* his NaNoWriMo T-shirt. He thought that was funny.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince will be out this July 16, and it's 40% less if you order it from amazon.
What kid has $30 to buy a book anyway?
I was pretty sure we'd get the 4th movie before the 6th book. Glad to hear that's not the case.
Next year will be HUGE for Harry Potheads everywhere!

Shaun of the Dead came out on DVD today.
Fie on me for not being able to afford it.
As soon as that long haired projectionist pays me back, I'll be picking it up.
Unless of course I get it for Xmas.

Dead Like Me is getting canceled!

Meet the Fockers starts tomorrow!
I really REALLY hope it's good and funny.


Plus, Happy Yule to all my Pagan pals!

Damn, I love Dead Like Me.

Ellen Muth should be doing much better things than that.

Man, that figures that Dead Like Me would get cancelled just as I'm getting into it. :( Rarr.

I rented the whole first season at Hollywood, and have seen most of this season too. Damn shame. Cool show.

Yeah, I rented Season 1 on Netflix...sigh. I wanna see Season 2, dangit, but I don't have Showtime!!

Me neither. I was working at a radio station and they sent the first six episodes to me to review. I really liked 'em.

Are you saying you actually liked Meet the Parents?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-12-22 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's not exactly Ben Stillers best work, but I do find him hilarious. Yeah, it's pretty funny. Not Analyze This funny, but certainly funnier than Something About Mary.

Zoolander is probably my fave!

[identity profile] cmdavi-70.livejournal.com 2004-12-22 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't yet seen Zoolander. Stiller's not bad, and DeNiro's quite often impeccable, but the over-the-top slapstick, especially in the second half (of MTP)gets old, and I don't find the name "Fockers" quite as rip-roaring hilarious as the filmmakers do. Still, I'm coming from the standpoint of going out to see movies once or twice a month and being ultra-picky(not to imply that you're not). I've been "meaning" to see Motorcycle Diaries for about 5 weeks now. I've been "meaning" to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for most of the year. Stiller's just not high on my list right now.

Well God gosh! If you still haven't seen Eternal Sunshine, what the hell are you doing talking to me?!?

Actually, I am pretty discriminating when I pay. But when I don't, I'm much more open minded. I would never have paid for Oceans 12 for example, or Resident Evil 2, but I saw them free at the Village.

Where did you find out about Harry Potter 6?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-12-22 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I have Leaky Cauldron on my friends page, plus I got a pre-order ntice from Amazon. They are offering it at 40% off, so it's 17.99 instead of 29.99

Wasn't Yule a pretty bloody and barbaric practice?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-12-23 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
Some people, the Norse for example, did and do employ animal sacrifice at Yule. Beyond that, it is mainly a time for celebration: dancing, feasting, and all that there.

I do not find animal sacrifice to be any more "bloody" or "barbaric" than eating meat or wearing leather. In fact, it is much more natural to kill the animal yourself if you are going to eat it, and I reccommend that all carnivores do this at least once in thier life.

Is "Meet the Fockers" funny?

I'm going to take my cue from the title, and say probably not.

Dustin Hoffman, though... hm....

I'm sure it will have a few good laughs, even if it isn't the best comedy sequel ever.

...it couldn't be worse than Fierce Creatures!
