A Week with Marilyn tonight at the flics. I'm really not sure what to expect.

Homicide- A Love Story
Currently working my way through the 3rd season of Homicide: Life on the Street. I remember when I was a kid, staying up to watch The X-Files this show would often be on after it. Looked gritty but boring to my feeble brain so I never bothered.
Fast forward a decade and it's suddenly a The Sopranos/The Shield-beater, and clearly a major influence on The Wire. What a cast they had for the first few seasons. Beatty, Belzer, Kotto, Braugher and er, one of the better Baldwin's.
Anyone with a passing interest in cop-shows should nab the boxset for Xmas.

Spurs are playing....er, carry on.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

It's occurred to me that whoever came up with the phrase that 'nothing lasts for ever' probably hadn't tried banging one out over Fatima Whitbread

Re: Homicide- A Love Story
I'm sticking with my story! Paul Attanasio wrote the majority of the episodes. David Simon wrote about a third of them on the show and created The Wire, but Attanasio created Homicide and it came first.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Today I am angry (over it now) because I just went to fill up petrol and was going to get an Indiana Jones DVD for $5
It was still there but the promotion is over! It's now $10
Gonna try and get my partner or myself another time to go get it, and say how it was $5 and hopefully be given that price!
Just finished the first tape of Geordie Shore, all of last nights broadcast fit nicely onto a three hour tape.
Now I am going to edited-record onto tape parts of the Manu-Palace game for a friend, even though The Scum lose (he goes for them).

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Got given a Decade of great matches for Christmas!
Today while having to rush home to set up me Son's Birthday Party I went past Blockbuster and out the front they were selling heaps of ex-rentals.
I cracked it, turned round because for rent they have a deleted from sale dvd for Hire (WWE's nWo dvd) so I went to see if it was there.
Wasn't there
(hopefully is still available for rent) I got a movie, the French Comedy Film The Closet (this is the English name for the movie)
