I’m trying to watch Ratatouille on Blu-ray but I have to keep pausing it & going upto the screen for a closer look.

So in BBC land phoning someone and saying you fucked their granddaughter (which happened to be true) is an offence that results in 2 people losing their jobs, and 1 getting suspended.

But calling someone a Paki, like it’s the fucking 70s or something, is acceptable.

This seems odd.

So it’s Vin Diesel as a giant outer-space robot who blows shit up, and it’s still good

I watched The Iron Giant last night, probably the best animation of the last 15-20 years that isn’t by Pixar or Studio Ghibli.

Good news, everyone!

Futurama’s back. And I bet more than 50% of blogs writing about it use the exact same title.

Dom, and anyone else with OCD who reads the blog, will enjoy the organisation of my DVD shelves

(can’t find Tremors, have left some space though)

As mentioned previously The Wire’s on BBC 2 tonight. So watch it.

Cool that it’s on a terrestrial channel. Bit late though with all 5 series on DVD.

Some stuff just out or out soon

Just brought

Into the wild green yonder – the new Futurama film

Earthsblood, the new God Forbid album. Worth getting the limited edition CD, only £2 more than the download version and you get the bonus live CD.

Pre-orders

The last half a season of Battlestar Galactica. Just in time for me to sit at home alone night after night and re-watch everything from the mini-series on.

And the so far brilliant Generation kill
