i programmed my pda to work my sky box since i don't know where the remote is (like my xbox :lol: )... so i watched Lee Evans and then Roxanne, the old steve martin film.

Also won an AI competition at uni so spent my prize money on Spartacus, Lost In Translation and An American Werewolf in London dvds, so i guess i'll watch one of them.

Usually crap from the monday, simpsons is still really bad and isn't likely to recover. Sopranos was a lot better this week and definitely gonna be no more gayness :lol:

I'm a lot closer to john goodman.

it's joss, you tit. what the hell is so special about 12 monkeys, anyway? no. nevermind. I don't care.

watched the 24</i> season finale. it was anticlimactic to say the least. easily the weakest season of the series.

just got back from the davinci</i> code. it was better than I was led to believe, but that really only elevates it to something that passed the time reasonably well. the big to-do in the movie isn't very epic or huge in my eyes. it prolly doesn't help that I really do look at jesus as a historical figure anyway - maybe that should mean the movie was supposed to be more up my alley but the effect was, as I stated, otherwise. speaking of which the guy's name was never christ; it was jesus of nasareth for christ's sake! (christ isn't his last name. it's a fecking title - like president or gunnery sergeant. not that anyone here ever said otherwise, it's just a correction I have to make to every american who tries to talk about "him" and I felt like mentioning it.) :lol:

Hank isn't his real brother, his momma found him on their trailer's doorstep :lol:

Seriously, there's Joss' in the uk too, its still pronounced Josh though since its short for Joshua anyway, its just the french can't say it :lol: I just can't help but think of Biggus Dickus from Life of Brian trying to say Joshua with Joss though :lol:

It keeps mounting up against Joss Whedon, not only the revelation he wrote for Rosanne... now he's french too :lol:

over the hedge</i>. it was good. but it's kind of pathetic how blatantly dreamworks copies other recent (or in production) movies. the story itself is pretty formulaic, and I'm not attacking them for that (kind of like accusing v for vendetta</i> or equilibrium</i> of being knock-offs of 1984</i>/brave new world</i> - yeah. duh.). but there's this hyper squirel that is basically the same same thing as scratch (from the ice age</i> movies) and they use the exact same gimmick with caffine on him as that hyper squirrel/rodent thing in hoodwinked</i>.

and of course there's antz vs. a bug's life

shrek vs. monster's inc. (prolly their least suspicious and most successful effort)

deep impact vs. armageddon

sharktale vs. finding nemo

I know all the studios do it to each other, but as I said...it seems/feels so blatant with dreamworks for some reason (now a part of paramount)

no. everything on the left is dreamworks. right is pixar. 'cept for the live actioners, of course. I think armageddon was universal/mca.

anyway, producer credits from sharktale:

Produced by
Bill Damaschke .... producer
Janet Healy .... producer
Jeffrey Katzenberg .... executive producer
Allison Lyon Segan .... producer
Mark Swift .... associate producer

katzenberg is the K in Dreamworks SKG.

Spartacus. A lotta extras. Refreshing to see fights and battle scenes where you actually see people fight and not flashes of little swords clanking together. I've come to loathe modern action movies because of this over used and less effective technique of fast editing.

and no, finding nemo = pixar, shark was a ripoff:

i just loathe most modern films period, sword fights or not, ocassionally you get the odd good one, but its rare, most of the time its the less hollywood influenced studios who make the better films (Zombiez excluded of course :lol:)

but i know what you mean, although of course then you see the same scenes cropping up in tv shows from the same era too :lol: due to a lot less funding then today, but that isn't really a bad thing if the source is a classic like Spartacus :)
