All the Harry Potter movies but the third are near-garbage. Dunno why they never got that director back.

I've enjoyed the Legend of the Seeker TV series so I picked up Wizard's First Rule, the first novel in the series by Terry Goodkind that the TV show is based on. Really been enjoying it so far and intend to continue reading the books.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: why it failed - Den of Geek ~:
The name also did it a disservice in that this was never Sarah Connor's story, at least not for me. The series shone brightest when a light was trained on John Connor's transformation from whiny teen to reluctant leader. It was in relation to John that the other characters made sense. Despite the title, Sarah Connor doesn't really deserve chronicling - she isn't that interesting a character. Obsessed people very rarely are, especially when the cause of that obsession has been explained. Sarah's obsessed with protecting her son, because he's going to save the world. This means that her attitude to everybody is always exactly the same: aggressive, surly and suspicious. She doesn't change. It's her moulding of her son that strikes a note. Her attempts to protect him increasingly push him away, turning him into the man he needs to become, even as she's trying to connect. It was this journey that was at the centre of the series - watching John grow into the role he didn't want. Watching how the other characters shaped him, and he them. Watching a mythology being spun.

Best show in recent history killed by Fox, continuing its history of killing off excellent shows. The article I linked has some interesting insight into the industry too.
Let’s be honest, we all know that with DVR and TiVo we just zip right past those annoying commercials, I know I do and so do you. You can’t fast forward the ads on Hulu, but the ad density of Hulu is so low, it isn’t even counted, leaving only the Fox Friday Night Kiss of Death Time Slot to sustain it.
To me this was completely stupid on FOX’ part as this is a young person’s show and like most younger people I am NEVER home on Friday Evening. Since moving to Fridays, I have DVR ‘ed every single episode. Nielsen knows the DVR numbers, but doesn’t count them for the previous reasons.
Personally I haven't turned my TV on in... like a year. I Bittorrent everything I want to watch and watch it whenever I feel like. Sitting down and turning your TV on at a specific time and sitting there for the whole hour is so antiquated.
The season finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was amazing. If they don't renew the show... omg. I'll hate Fox (even more) forever.
Here's a great interview with Josh Friedman. (Major spoilers if you haven't watched at least everything up to the season finale.) It just proves how deep this show is. I can't say how pleased I am with the way this show has taken the Terminator lore and expanded on it in fascinating ways.

Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles is the best show on Television. Fox better keep it going.
Incidentally, Dollhouse is getting good too.

Just wanted to say that Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles is by far my favorite show on television. I love so much about the show, some of it is hard to describe... but even just the tone is wonderful.
Anyway, Fox moved it to Friday so it's probably going to be canceled soon, as Fox does with every show I like on the network, but I hope it'll stay alive.

Decent article on Summer Glau as a terminator in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Over the past week I've bittorrented and watched the show starting at the beginning. I'm currently a few episodes away from being current, and as of now it looks like the show may be graduating from being "ok" to being a really good show. Here's hoping the writers keep pushing it.

Mininova is an awesome place for torrents. Now that the new TV season has started I just download the shows when I feel like watching them.
Two things: 1. Fox is stupid for having an 8 day delay before putting House episodes online. That way you can't even catch up so you can watch the next week's episode "live". 2. NBC is awesome and puts its shows online the next day. I always watch Heroes on their site.

I haven't had this much fun with a TV show in a while. I'm so glad it's on NBC instead of Fox... if it was Fox they'd cancel it.

Isaac Hayes quits "South Park":
NEW YORK (AP)-- Isaac Hayes is quitting "South Park."
The musician who voices Chef says he takes issue with the way show deals with religion.
Hayes acknowledges there's a place for satire, but says there's a time "when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs of others begins."
Hayes is a Scientologist. Last fall, the show poked fun at Scientology and its celebrity followers, including Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
South Park co-creator Matt Stone believes Hayes' quitting "is 100 percent" due to his being a member of Scientology. Stone tells The Associated Press in the past, Hayes has "cashed plenty of checks with our show making fun of Christians."
It's a sad day.

Watching Saved! instead of going to sleep. Way better movie so far than I had expected it'd be when it was out in the theaters.

Criminal Minds on CBS (Wednesdays at 9 Eastern) has both Mandy Patinkin and AJ Cook, so I gotta at least give it a shot. Though I'm very anti-Shemar Moore (he's too pretty). Not a fan of "Greg" (Thomas Gibson) either, but I'll keep an open mind.

So, I've been listening to music on Pandora a lot lately. I'd previously been using it wrong and had dumped everything into one station instead of making stations targeted towards a particular genre. That had some weird effects... it would drastically flip genres (say, from rock to Charles Mingus) but once it flipped it would stay with a particular sound for a bunch of songs, so if I didn't feel like hearing jazz right now I'd be stuck fast forwarding a bunch of times. The station also kept playing Dido for some reason.
So I recently deleted everything and started all over making targeted stations, and that's worked a lot better. I just created a country station and "seeded" it with Carrie Underwood, and somehow got to wondering about Carrie's first audition on American Idol (which I've been watching fairly regularly this season, since it comes on right before House). Anyway, this site has the video of Carrie's audition.
Update: By the way, Pandora is really excellent. It's playing Arturo Sandoval on my jazz/swing station right now (and I hadn't ever told it that Arturo rocks), and on my classic rock station, for which I told it I like the Allman Brothers, it actually played two songs by them (at least one live) that I'd never even heard before (and which rocked). Anyway... highly recommended.

Just saw a commercial for Final Destination 3. It doesn't have A.J. Cook, and therefore I'm not interested.

Guardian Unlimited | In praise of ... Hugh Laurie. Hugh Laurie just won the Golden Globe for best actor in a drama series. That's great. House rocks. Though, Laurie says he's unhappy  Hopefully the award will cheer him up.
