friday night:
- saw saw ii, rather liked it. liked the first twist over the second (that is, the (font color=white>fact the video feed wasn't live over the jigsaw heir (when they could've just had the cancer be a big ol lie if they wanted to guarantee a sequel), and not the twist of the first film over the twist of the second)
- watched the season finale of real time and still don't like joe scarborough, even when he seems to agree with me
- watched threshold - "revelations", a good episode, advancing the plot well
- watched masters of horror - "dreams in the whitehouse" and while it certainly wasn't as good as the first episode, it was passable and had some nice creepy bits and good gore (courtesy of knb)
- saw jarhead and liked it. great lines throughout. especially liked the line about the earth bleeding
- started to watch exorcist the beginning, but was too tired and stopped it early on
- watched exorcist the beginning, and it was weird seeing the same setups and same sets and plot points as dominion twisted into new versions of themselves. this one tried too hard to be a modern horror film, but both this and dominion fell apart in the last half hour or so anyway
- watched two episodes of rome (as last week's never bothered to show up on our hbo on demand) while recording the simpsons, family guy and american dad (haven't watched any of those yet). loved the way pullo and veranus are drifting apart and how pullo had some serious tragedy going on with such a simple gesture as freeing his slave
- watched grey's anatomy, and i think meredith will be a better character without mcdreamy
- watched the boondocks and did not like it. bad voices, slow pacing, jokes that weren't the funny, nothing redeeming about it at all, methinks
