What I've Been Watching: Part XXVII
Aug. 12th, 2007 09:22 pmI saw The Simpsons Movie today, and I loved it. It was just a hell of a lot of fun, and had a fair amount of political and slightly more adult jokes. I walked out with a grin on my face and humming 'Spider pig, spider pig' and wondering if someone had an MP3 of it around, because it really is quite inspired.
I never really understood the huge deal about the Simpsons. I mean, I liked it whenever I managed to catch it on TV (and it always seemed whenever I did watch it, that it was always an episode I'd seen), but I never really got into it like some of my friends did. Certain inhabitants of my previous flat turned me around on that one, and I'm really happy they did.
I've also been watching lots of M*A*S*H recently. They had box sets for $30 at the CD Store. $30! I am not made of stone! I picked up Season Five (they only had the later seasons on special, and to be honest, I really prefer Potter to Henry, and BJ to Trapper, though only by a little), and oh, this show is awesome. I mean there's the nostalgia aspect (it used to be on just before the news when I was a kid) but it's also just a very good TV show. I love Hawkeye, BJ, Potter and Radar so much. Also, Sidney is awesome. *nods*
Chances of me buying another one are high I think.
However, I really shouldn't spend the money, because I went out to buy a pair of sneakers today, and uh, ended up buying two pairs of shoes. Um, oops?
And because this seems to be an entry about what I've been watching recently (and okay, yes, that's what it's like a lot of the time around here), I finally saw The Queen yesterday. I liked it a lot, and while I've seen lots of praise for Helen Mirren, and she was awesome, I was also really impressed by Michael Sheen's performance as Tony Blair. His intonation especially was really well done.
In 24 hours I'll be seeing Ian McKellen in King Lear. Just, you know, putting that out there. *bounces*
However, work tomorrow. Wonderful.
I use this mood icon because well, oh just look at it. I think I'm going to have to put in Doomsday now. Oh, Doctor. <3 Also, it's kinda apt for this episode. Oh, Hawkeye.
