I didn't even know it was on. Anyway, I'm going camping to avoid the whole thing, the misanthrope that I am.

There should have been more Doctor Who.
I kept expecting the TARDIS to appear in the middle of proceedings, maybe with Matt Smith trying to scamper out of the way of dancers.

:
I got really excited when they played Pink Floyd. That was awesome.
All the music was from Boyle's formative years, which probably means that this is his personal fantasy come to life.

Anyway, we were better than China and its dancing totalitarians. Also, giant Voldemort.

EDIT: And I'm pretty sure that child-catcher guy was Noel Fielding.

I saw Darkwing Duck Rises last night. Over all I was impressed. Bane was a lot more fun than I expected. The first fight scene between him and Batman was phenomenal. There were a few cringe worthy scenes, but they were all dialogue scenes between Batman, and Catwoman. I would have liked Bale's performance a lot more if he had dropped the gravelly voice after everyone figured out who he was. It was still really good, though.

Now that you mention it, he did remind me of the Hitcher from Mighty Boosh. And speaking of Doctor Who, it may have just been in my mind but after they played the Prodigy I'm pretty sure I heard the TARDIS noise.

You did. Well, I don't know if it was Prodigy or not, but the TARDIS definitely made a cloaked flyby.

I watched Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz again. Was probably the seventh time I've seen Shaun of the Dead. Both really great movies, but it's hard to say which one is better, I myself prefer Shaun of the Dead but Hot Fuzz is a really, really good movie too.

Sadly the latest film with Pegg and Frost, Paul, wasn't nearly as good as the previous two. It was still alright though.

Which just goes to show that the talent in the trio was all in the hands of Edgar Wright.


I suspect this post will bring out the Scott Pilgrim haters. Then I shall laugh in their stupid faces for being so predictable. And wrong.

If Edgar wright was so great Scott Pilgrim wouldn't have been depressingly mediocre.

It was better than alright, I enjoyed it, Hot Fuzz has to be them at their best, though.

I'm with WoF. Sort of. I don't hate them, but I found Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz to both be boring, and unfunny. I can see what they are going for, but they just failed to make it funny.

Oh, and I finished Season 3 of Breaking Bad. Starting from the episode where The Murder Twins attacked Hank, the season became phenomenal. I couldn't nit pick a damned thing after that. The last two episodes were some fucking nail biters too. Great season over all.

Zombie army at the end of GoT, holy shit was that epic, and I didn't even watch the other episodes! I'm also currently downloading season 3 of Misfits, can't wait, it's one of my favourite programmes of all time. (One of)

I don't think they are terrible movies. I don't despise them, and it doesn't make me angry to watch them. I just don't find it funny.

I'd reply to this, but I'm afraid I'd stop being funny.

Anyways, I watched a couple more episodes of S9 of the Simpsons, and I'm glad I found no totally-unfunny episodes like Lisa's Sax. That's a relief, kinda. Was it the period when the creators were focused on making Futurama? I've never watched it, I guess you all like it and recommend, right?

I watched Fright Night remake. It wasn't particually laugh out loud funny but it made me smile and it was a really enjoyable film. Colin Farrel was great as the vampire...but the star of the show was David Tennant, his Vegas vampire hunter character was hilarious.

Also seeming him curse up a storm was really weird since I loved his Dr. Who.

I'd reply to this, but I'm afraid I'd stop being funny.

Anyways, I watched a couple more episodes of S9 of the Simpsons, and I'm glad I found no totally-unfunny episodes like Lisa's Sax. That's a relief, kinda. Was it the period when the creators were focused on making Futurama? I've never watched it, I guess you all like it and recommend, right?
Futurama is like the Beatles, in that it's both very good and very overrated. It's definitely definitely worth watching but dear god if you get a Bender or Dr Zoidberg avatar or something I will foam at the mouth.

I guess not, I haven't got Homer or any other Simpsons' character anyway
