Re-watched both series of Spaced; it never gets old.

Now embarking on watching it with commentary on.

Aside from endless CBeebies and Nick Jr (I have a 3yo), the most amusing thing I have seen recently has been Lucas/Walliams in Come Fly With Me.

yay!

Currently watching the extras on my Scott Pilgrim DVD.

Also this week I watch Penelope, It's Complicated, 127 hours, and I bought Inglourious Basterds for £2.50 in a charity shop.

Wall-E I'm easily amused

 

[BatrickPatrick]

Ironman!

It was good, for a Marvel hero...

I watched that today as well! Better than the sequel in my opinion.

That's often true...Why is it sequels almost never work as well?

We started watching Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole over the weekend but were both tired so turned it off after 20 minutes or so. It was okay, we'll finish it this week.

SnowWhite was on tv yesterday, our two-year-old loved the dwarfs. Luckily it was dinner time before the scary parts started.

Legend of the Guardians divided critics but I loved it. It is brutal, though.

^ I was watching a music vidio of a song from it (to the sky, Owl city)

There were all these owls killing eachother (and baby owls, which were also scary) and this was the music video for probably the worlds happiest song

Also, how did they work past the fact that owls kill and eat mice and other birds and then puke up all the bones and fur and stuff they can't digest?

Yep

 

[Willem]

At the start, a young owl coughs up her first pellet. Another character explains this is the fur and stuff from the mouse she ate earlier. It's handled in a no-nonsense matter-of-fact way.

 

[bikkit]

Oh. Ok

This week has been taken up with the extras on the Scott Pilgrim Vs the World DVD, thats about 4 hours of documentaries and stuff and the 4 commentaries, lets say 4 x 2 hours. So that means roughly 12 hours of Mr Pilgrim this week.

Is that the kiwi one about vampire sheep? It was funny. Very strange but funny. Those kiwi's make some good movies.

Must have been like a cross between a horror and a porno for you then.

Seems to split folks down the middle. For me and many, it was one of the best films of last year (my favourite anyway) bursting with style and originality. And for others it was terrible! Oh and I love Black Sheep too! and many others on Snowballs list, will chime in again later on them.
