I think season 2 is my favourite. Followed by the fourth, the first (these two are almost equal), the fifth, then the third. They're all very watchable, though.
Watched Gilliam's "Time Bandits" for the first time in about a decade.
It's not my favorite Gilliam film, but I noticed while watching it how many of the memorable moments and visuals were obviously taken as inspiration by lesser filmmakers who rehashed the scenes for their own fantasy movie forays. Gilliam himself essentially remade it beat-for-beat for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, which is almost the same exact movie. I think I like Munchausen more though.

Watching Seinfeld right now. As usual. Goddamn I love Seinfeld.
Also finished the first season of Veep. What a hilarious, well-written show. I was impressed at how seamlessly they seemed to blend drama into the characters storylines, without it ever getting cheesy or even forgetting the true purpose of the show: humour. There seems to be quite a bit of depth to each character, something that I hope the writers focus on more in the upcoming season (which I am totally hyped for).
Oh, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus is pretty much my favourite woman in show business now. Perfect comedic timing. Couldn't think of anyone better for the role of Selina if I tried. No, not Tina Fey.
This one's a little different. Not a lot of cute girls doing cute things. Instead we got not one, not two but three giant robot shows.
From an experienced writing and directing crew, and a studio nobody has heard of, Majestic Prince which is retro as fuck, focuses on the humor and dynamic between the cast and has a gorgeous op.
From the writer of Code Geass (A very bad series in a very good way) and Planetes (A very good series in a very good way) and studio Sunrise responsible for Gundam: Valvrave the Liberator. This one has a huge budget and seems to involve nanomachine vampires or some stupid shit like that. Promises to be if not very good, at least pretty entertaining.
And last of the three, and definitely the best from the premiere, Suisei no Gargantia written by Urobochi 'Urobutcher' Gen of Madoka/Fate/Zero fame. Is visually stunning and brimming with potential, but may adhere to certain themes as it gets further in.
Also airing this season is Attack on Titan. Based on a sleeper hit fantasy manga about humanity in the far future being holed up in a castle-city and living in fear of omnomnoming titans. It's being produced with a massive budget and by the director of Death Note and the studio behind Ghost in the Shell SAC amongst others.
Personally I'm most looking forward to the sequel to A Certain Scientific Railgun which premiered earlier today and hasn't been subtitled yet. I watched the first series over the last week or so and I found it to be very surprisingly enjoyable.
And that's me done.
Also I'm finally getting round to watching Kiki's Delivery Service (It's by Miyazaki. You can be interested without losing coolness points) tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it a lot.

I'm watching Supernatural because I finally got the urge to check it out.
It's really good so far. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. I'm almost done with season 1, and noticed there's like 8 seasons of the damn show and that really worries me because it's bound to go in a really, really unbelievably shitty direction and then suddenly all the magic will be ruined. That happens in practically every long running live action show I've ever enjoyed ever, and usually happens by the third or fourth season.
Someone who's caught up please come in punch me in the face and tell me everything's going to be alright
The first three seasons of supernatural were ok if I remember, after that it got really shitty with lots of 'YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE' stuff for one brother or the other.
Also, I don't know if they even end up catching the demon they were hunting for in the first place.
watched Black Death. fucking great film, loved it. love all the actors in it, too. lot of familiar faces. i just love that era anyway, it was like watching Braveheart for the first time again. i don't know what it is, i feel like my mind belongs in that period. the days when you could lead a revolution with a sword and a handful of peasants. MAKE ME A TIME MACHINE I HAVE A PLAN
New season of Veep is awesome so far. They've managed to make Selina even less likable and I've noticed new layers of depth have been added to pretty much all the main character's background, without shifting focus from the main purpose of the show, IE the humour and satire found within politics.
I watched that last night, I don't know why it's took them this long to make it. But yeah, it was great.
Dyna, if you think that's long, the whole documentary is about 10 hours long, and it's fucking awesome.
