I also find it far more expedient to eat the ice cream out of the container with a fork. Stabs off chunks better. |

Mother Night
Hadn't known it existed until I bumbled across it on Netflix. It was always one of my favorite Vonnegut books, but the movie doesn't come across as interestingly quirky as I remember the book, which I guess I now have to reread. Vonnegut's in the movie, in one of those Hitchcockian walkthrough sorts of ways.

nearly done with season 4 of Dexter.
Dex is hot, hot, hot. And he's very good looking in a sex-you-up way. And he's cute. And very sexy. I wouldn't spit on his soul. Now I'm gonna get all of Six Feet Under and swoon over him in that one. Mmmmmmm. Michael C. Hall. Better than donuts.

In Treatment with Gabriel Byrne (HOT HOT HOT!) and oh, so very gooooood.
Six Feet Under - the entire series is an excellent study in grief. Breaking Bad or Weeds - possible new occupation information for you! The Tudors - HOT HOT HOT and loads of people having a worse day than you. What's not to love?

I LOVE the Tudors.
Just discovered Doc Martin, a British TV show, which like many British programmes is wryly funny. A surgeon who gets explosively queasy at the sight of something common in medical practice and runs away to a quirky village in Cornwall.

I quite like Doc Martin. It's one of those shows I don't make time for, wouldn't class myself as a fan of, and yet whenever I happen upon it, I enjoy it.
Six Feet Under was amazing. And the title sequence is exquisite. There isn't a single weak performance in the whole run and the writing is wonderful. I used to get to the end of SFU and get that feeling you get when you watch some really great stage drama. It's so tightly-written, and with just the slightest hint of magical realism now and then. I've always loved American TV programmes, but tightly written drama, combining depth with a light touch and willingness to take risks with the audience, was something I used to associate more with British, and in particular BBC and CH4 dramas. Six Feet Under was probably the programme that showed me that US drama at its best is every bit a match for British, and HBO and Showtime in particular can stand next to the BBC and Channel 4. With the added advantage of course, of a budget to go along with that quality. Have you seen any Being Human, Wolf? Either British or SyFy?

AMC does a good job too. Ive just gotten into The Killing which is adapted from a Danish show. One of these days I'm going to watch Breaking Bad from start to finish...my Mom keeps recommending it to me and I haven't seen one show yet. My husband loves the zombi genre, so we watched all of The Walking Dead a while ago. Not bad, but it was only a month ago and I cant really remember any of it.

I watched the first ep of Walking Dead. Thought it was stunning. But then never got around to following up with the next instalment:p
If your hubby likes zombie stuff, have you guys seen Dead Set yet? The zombie apocalypse begins, and the only safe place is the Big Brother house. It starts behind the scenes of the tv show Big Brother, with the host preparing to bring out one of the contestants, and crowds of fans all cheering. Meanwhile the zombie apocalypse has already begun and the infected are about to hit the crowds. It's very well written and directed, and there's a kind of cinema verite (?) edge to it. Here's a fanmade trailer off Youtube. It's probably my favourite zombie film/programme ever.

I think Mad Men is wonderful, another AMC offering.
