The Week in Entertainment

Film: Bottle Shock - what a lot of fun. Alan Rickman is brilliant (as always) and the rest of the cast is pretty much spot on.

TV: Fringe. Okay. They get one more shot. I have no desire to watch all this violence and gore. I didn't need to see the co-pilot's face fall off last week, and I didn't need to see the all the serial killer's torture and murdering of young women. The rest of the show - all the "pattern", the "phenomena" that "appear to be scientific in nature" (wtf does that even mean?), the mysterious committee, the DHS guy who doesn't use contractions... I'm not sure I buy a single word of it, and the ambiance of the show is not making me give much of a damn, either. Nor do I really care about this mysterious secret medical condition of Peter's. Plus - the "science" is just ridiculous. Why would a muscle relaxer freeze neurons? It's gotten so it annoys me that those massive labels with place-names on them pretend to be part of reality - reflecting in puddles or buildings. WTF? So I think I might not even last through episode three... Also the Ryder Cup and the UT-Florida game.

Read: I Sold My Soul on eBay. Pretty enjoyable, though I'm not (probably) Hemant's intended audience. I might blog a bit on this book ... if I find the time this week. Continued with Kremlin Wife.
