I Love TV Again

No, I still don't have a TV. But I did come by a DVD of The Office [Season 1] and I'm pretty hooked. I'm sure i'm 3 seasons behind, no idea how long it's been on the tele, but for once I'm actually psyched to get another DVD.

Other things I've seen recently:

1. Control Room - Story of Al Jazeera during the early Iraq war, evidence of the "different sources, different truths" doctrine. Lead PR spin guy from the military has since quit his job and taken a job with Al Jazeera. [**** 4 stars]
   
2. Out Foxed - Who knew, Fox News is neither fair nor balanced? Documentary of how insidious they really are. Nothing new, but good for the masses. [*** 3 stars]
3. V For Vendetta - Took me a while to see this one, but it's pretty solid. Definite 1984-type rip of the possible future, but some alarming strings tied to the present. [*** 3 stars]
4. The Departed - Interesting. Not sure if it's as good as everyone else seems to think, but certainly well-worth the watch. Kate Blanchett is hot in this movie, as opposed to scary as shit (ie. Lord of the Rings) Not a big fan of the plot twist at the end that seems a little to easy. [**** 4 stars]
5. Van Wilder II: The Rise of Taj - I won't even consider this piece of monkey dung. I haven't seen it, I won't see it, why did they make it? National Lampoon is sliding downhill. John Belushi is crying. But at least he's drunk.

Read What I Read?

Since I don't have anything clever to say, I will just plug my new feature. If you're ever curious about what sort of drivel I'm reading on the Internets, just look to the top pane to the right.

The Goose and Danielle have another little one on the way, keeping up with the Goodwins, as it were.

Speaking of, congratulations to Goody and Amy for their Molly. And then there were four.
