She did leave him according to Jasper's Fforde's The Eyre Affair. And that's not even a plot spoiler!
Did I never recommend that for you? Yes, I did read the prequel. I don't remember disliking it, but it didn't leave a real impression. Rochester is a character who will age badly. Darcy is just rude, rude translates. Rochester is morally warped with strange ideals. |

Well, I didn't expect that....

127 Hours. Great movie. I recommend it.
Cyrus, Mind of a Serial Killer. Not as good as I'd hoped. More slashy than psychological, imho. |

Mr. Clod wants me to watch Twin Peaks from the beginning (through Netflix streaming, naturally.) We'll see. David Lynch is a lot like Picasso for me: I can appreciate that he did revolutionary things like no one before him had ever done... but that still doesn't mean I like it.

Season 1 of Twin Peaks is about the most awesomest TV ever.
Season 2 was ... different. But still interesting. The owls are not what they seem.

I remember the first series just about hitting me like a freight train. It was a brilliant programme, but what made it totally amazing as well was the sense of zeitgeist about it. Everyone was talking about it. It had a pervasive atmosphere.
Second series was interesting but didn't quite live up to the promise of the first for me. But that first series was incredible. Completely atmospheric, with a self-aware humour threaded through it, but not disruptively so. Great performances all round. I am not a big fan of Lynch. I appreciate his work, and have watched a few films, but for the most part i find them uncomfortable to watch. They're not the sort of thing I can 'disappear' into, I can only really appreciate them at an intellectual or visual level. But Twin Peaks was a ride. Grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go. But unlike the films, I did disappear into it. It was way more approachable for me as a viewer than a lot of his other work.

Finished "In The Cut" last night. Some sexy sexin, sure, but I didn't care for the movie. It strongly reinforced my belief that I've already reached my lifetime exposure limit for NYC. And, as far as the story goes, I didn't think it was very well done. I won't bother with any spoilerifiic details. One star--pass.

Just started the TV series "Better off Ted." Freaking hilarious so far, I'm sad to know that it's already been cancelled. I'm glad I get 2 seasons' worth, though.

Absolutely.
Even though I saw it in countless commercials before the episode aired, the description of the artificial meat cracked me up. I seldom literally LOL when watching TV, but "Better off Ted" managed it consistently.

Anybody else mistakenly pick up Camp Hell thinking that it was a horror flick? The back of the dvd said ' The innocent children at a religious summer camp are faced with a powerful force of evil. It was supposed to be a summer of love, faith, and learning. But when one counselor leads his young campers down the path of evil, the malignance slowly begins to spread among the unsuspecting children. Featuring Jesse Eisenberg'
First of all Jessie was only in the first five minutes and secondly I kept waiting and waiting for something scary - no dice. Also, I couldn't tell if was a christian movie or not. I mean it felt like one, but maybe it was trying to be farcical too. Overall, very confusing. Most especially though, because of the cover of the DVD case with Eisenbergs face all over it.
