Although I myself am on a strict “no buying DVDs” regimen at the moment, I figured some of you would be interested in the buy one, get one free sale on Criterion collection DVDs at Deep Discount.
***
Also, my DVR informs me that AMC is doing a “Mad Men” Season 1 marathon on Sunday (I assume in order to get everyone interested in the premiere of season 2 NEXT Sunday.)
***
Manohla Dargis has such a glowing review of "The Dark Knight" in The New York Times that I actually want to see it. (And I have, I'm afraid to say, never seen any of the Batman movies at all.)
***
So, yes, I did watch “Hero” last night and ( Spoilers for BSG 3.08 )
Let us never speak of it again! I had to watch the teaser of "Unfinished Business" right afterwards to cleanse my palate.
***
I'm really starting to feel like a Dorothy Dunnett reread - but the question is: Lymond? Or Niccolo? (I have still not read Gemini so maybe I ought to start with Niccolo. But ... I just really love Philippa so much more than Gelis. But ...)

 | 11:03 am - The night was sultry
Said by me to my golf partner after escaping a par three I have dubbed The Mosquito Coast: "It was like freaking 'Nam back there." I don't know who in their right mind designed a hole so that you have to walk down a steep ten foot hill to the tee, hit the ball across a rather sluggish pond, drive your cart down a steep hill that always makes me think I'm going to pitch headfirst into the pond, then deal with the skeeters on a green that I'm pretty sure used to be swamp land. It's completely surrounded by woods and that little pond serves as little more than a mosquito breeding ground. I hit the ball into the left greenside bunker and was swarmed by mosquitoes the second I stepped onto the sand, which was more like sandy mud. Mid-swing, a mosquito apparently thought, "Hey, look at her ear! Man, that looks tasty!" Needless to say, I did not quite get the ball onto the green. I didn't even get it out of the bunker. It took four strokes to get it onto the green, then I two putted and got the hell out of there. It was 90 degrees and the air felt positively wet, it was so humid.
My partner parred the hole and didn't get bit by a single mosquito. One of the other ladies said it was like something out of a horror movie when she got back to her cart. MeLisa told her my 'Nam quote and revealed that she rarely gets bit by mosquitoes. Rargh! She rarely sweats and is immune to mosquitoes. I sweat like a pig and am the target of choice for any biting insect in a three mile area. Where is the justice?!
Needless to say, I didn't golf well last night. It was my best score on that course, but it was still pretty crappy. On the other hand, I had a lot of fun with the group I was golfing with. We had some very crazy ladies.

 | 11:50 pm - Of Twilight, Bell's Ring and Dark Night
YAY second Twilight teaser trailer came out today, and that's exactly what it did, tease. The movie seems forever away, knowing Australia we might even have to wait an extra month or two. I made sure to download the HD version, and of course I can't help but do a pic spam of screen captures (warning not dial up friendly).
( Moar )
Bella's engagement ring is now available to buy (well soon), makes me sad because I want it, but I still haven't brought the bracelet yet. Why so expensive.
I also really want to see Dark Night, but my brother is going to see it with his friend's so I'm going to have to see if I can find one of my friends to go with me. I was checking the movie times before and it's completely sold out (well there where 10 seats left, all spread out).

 | 10:30 am - Every little thing she does is magic
Faith vid is racing along. She’s such a kinetic character, it feels as if all you have to do is throw random clips at the timeline then sit back and squee. Well there’s the tagline to write but that came fairly early on. I actually find it much easier to vid once the summary’s done, I have a tendency to think in headlines or captions and having one for a vid gives me something to build around.
So just the titles to do and two bars of intro - at this rate it’s going to take weeks rather than months. At least I think it’s two bars. I seem to be incapable of parsing musical structure intellectually, it’s as if there are no audio jacks attached to my left brain or something. This was part of the reason the VVC vid took so long, it’s the first vid I’ve made in a while without marking out the beat and that was basically due to having no idea where to find it in a song that was both slow and as good as dammit a cappella. I pick up emotion from music and have a reasonable sense of rhythm but that’s a body thing not a brain thing. So for marking out beats I’m basically reduced to tapping along to the music and watching what my hand does as if it were some alien entity. Does anyone else have this sort of musical dyslexia? You hear so many really good vidders talking about having poor visual memory, me I can’t remember music. Other than by singing the whole song until I get to the relevant part - it’s lucky most pop songs are only 3 minutes long.

How much do I love the Internet Age?
Hulu has the first two seasons of Babylon 5.
If you never watched this show back in the day, it really was the original long-form storytelling series. A full story, beginning to end, in five seasons. And now you can watch it online. At least the first two seasons, but I bet Hulu will put on the rest before too long.
So, let's start with the first episode, Midnight on the Firing Line.
Admittedly, this episode has some bits that chafe and grind. There's some heavy exposition. But it sets the stage for the series to come quite well. A future where mankind struggles, and works, and strives for something better. A middle ground between the Trekian ideal and the Galactican bleakness.
Plus, given this was early nineties, and a syndicated television budget... the effects are damn impressive.
Watch it. Then read the Lurker's guide page.
