I kinda liked those two episodes. Doctor Who never does horror very well (with the one possible exception of Blink), so I wasn't expecting very much. I thought the one with the dolls was reasonably good though. The one with Amy aging didn't make much sense, but I liked the drama of putting Rory in that position.
On the plus side, that has actually been used as a plot point within the show. |
I mainly hate the new series because of Amy and Rory. The new doctor is pretty good (not as good as Tennent)
I feel like the only person who doesn't like Amy :D |
I like her, but I don't like her personality. Nothing beats the second doctor period in my book.
|
She's miles better than Rose, and her actress is miles more attractive than Billie fucking Piper.

He was the Doctor when I first begun watching it. Then two episodes later, he morphed into David Tennant.
As for Amy, I'd split her in half. Hurr |

Well they've been dropped off back on Earth now, in their own time, so you can all stop whining.

I demand a Doctor Who thread! |
I thought The God Complex was pretty good, but I found it incredibly distracting that they recycled the musical score from previous episodes rather than write anything new.
Last night I saw Megamind. I had initially refused to watch it because the trailers were so incredibly shite, but I realised whilst watching it that they only represented the first 15 minutes of the film; after that point it went in a totally unexpected, but awesome, direction. I absolutely loved it. But that brings up another issue; what is it about animated films lately that they always have shite trailers? How To Train Your Dragon's trailer made it look like a cliche Disney flick about a boy and his pet. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs made it look corny and crap. Pretty much every single Pixar film since the original Cars has had a trailer that made me hesitate to go see it. How can they so completely fail to represent the aspects of the films that are actually worth seeing? |
I think it's because they aim at the lowest common denominator: Children.

I liked the fact that I had worked out the potential double meaning of 'Complex' before I'd even started watching it.

There's a double meaning? |
When used as a noun, yes.

Oh! that's clever!

Way to defeat the purpose of my spoiler tags, MeechMunchie.

Clearly I didn't learn my lesson after watching diaster movie because I just watched Vampires Suck...
I want my 78 minutes back! |
Vampire's Suck was amusing in some parts, but overall it wasn't that good.
|
The thing with those films is that once you see the trailer, you've seen all the parts worth seeing.

For some reason the 'Facility' definition came to me first, albeit followed by the other a few seconds later. EDIT: It seems that for me a symptom of tiredness is not believing that words really look like words. I've already had to check the spelling of 'business' and 'facility' despite spelling them both right. |
I watched The Iron Giant (again) with my nephew. I think it's actually a very good film considering its target audience, especially because of the Cold War stuff which's in there which goes right over my nephew's head. One of the few cartoons other than Ren and Stimpy I actually enjoy watching with him.

Brad Bird has been one of the few saving graces in western animation for the last few decades.

The next installment of that dinosaur documentary is on tonight on BBC1. I really enjoyed the last one, a bit shocked the big ferocious Spinosaurus was a god-damn fish-eater.
|
Bear in mind these are big fish we're talking about.
Good show, though. They had the TERROR BIRDS on today. God I love those things. A giant turkey that can crack your skull like a seed husk. |
The Gigantoraptor was weird as fuck looking.
Totally took me by surprise when it killed that dinosaur looking after it's eggs. It was like a T-rex sized turkey! |
I've been watching Futurama again and man, I can't decide my favourite character; Zoidberg or Bender.
|
Go with Zoidberg. Bender's popular enough as it is.
|
Zoidberg's my second favourite. Scruffy is the best.
