Joking aside, Christmas TV has been very poor - no interesting films, most of the usual series like Star Trek etc have been stopped until the new year. Just generally poor as usual.

yeah they stopped Stargate over Christmas day
ho well ... that jack and the beanstalk i thought was gonna be better - unfortunatly was REALLY badly composited. You ever tend to sit there and feel you can't watch something cause someone has just not really put the effort in, i mean FFS half the characters were out of contrast.

Well atleast Lee Evans was on Paramount, kinda miss the UK comedians - like Ed Burns, god that guy needs to do one of those Albert Hall gigs ... he cracks me up

dinotopia - REPEAT

or i saw it on SKY a few weeks ago

The Outside is a evil place to be, too much light, too much noise and too many distractions....
I went outside once and my FPS rate dropped to 5.

oh god i hope not ian ... never seen it but i've got a good idea what its about (0_0)
kinda the same effect on me as that American Pie film, but without the homour

i saw it on SkyOne almost a year back when it was first shown right before Hallmark US had it
but still pretty cool and good for those who are unable to get anything cept terrestrial or missed it (^_^)

kinda amazing how many people still don't have any form of cable - but since digitisation and the cable companies asking obscene ammounts per package ... man i swear its insane. But the states isn't much better in that respect - $40/month for basic cable in my area, which is just sick my mom doesn't even pay that for SkyDigital with everything cept Movies&Sport (movies i can live without, but sport... i dunno that just sacreligious right??)

Bah! anyways, still reckon the State should have Sky. I reckon if they had the same channel sets it'd be awesome compared to what everyone else offers
its upto what now, 300/999 channels? can always find something interesting to square up those eyeballs

i swear i'm addictied to TR - but theres only 7 levels right now ... I WANT MORE!!

my mom has SkyDigital for £20/month which is excluding, Movies&Sport (and ofcourse porn lol)

my grandpa has Sky+ for £45 a month which is all current channels (cept porn again )

my step dad has NTLigital Home full package which is less than Sky+ and not the same features, cause no Open, no Real Games (i mean the system is slower than Doom on a 386!), blah blah ... but he pays £45 too lol

its insane really

installation of Sky+ is what, £100? i think its even less if you pay for a subscription too.
you can get ADSL 3Mb from BT for like £35/month

in comparison to actual prices yeah thats alot ... but compaired to earning -> spending blah blah, getting pretty cheap and from what i hear to become cheaper.
But i dunno i've only a limited time to ejoy this crap
