GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Wednesday, May 16th I turn 21.  That's fine, the probelem is that nothing has changed.

  • If I lived in America, this would be the age that I would celebrate the fact that I can drink, legally, but I am from the UK and we have had that right since we were 18 and since I was raised Catholic, I have had that right since about 12!
  • Let's see, I still play ridiculous amounts of video games (yay nintendo wii!)
  • I still watch copius amounts of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
  • I'm 6 ft tall - (I was 5ft9" when I was 11 - yeah! I know)

Most of the above applied 10 years ago.  I feel I need a change.  This is why this year:

  • I am learning how to drive.
  • I am shelving my nintendo DS (at least for a while)
  • I am taking in more culture i.e. going to the theatre.  BTW, I saw that play Equus where Daniel Radcliffe got naked - it was a spontaneous decision....
  • I am choosing to stop thinking spontaneously!

Any more suggestions?  It'll be nice to feel like an adult, even for a while.

See you all in the boards -

Ok, on 10th March, it would have been 10 years since Buffy aired.  This of course the USA airdate and I'm British.  Why celebrate the American air date you ask? Well this is because it quite handily falls on a Saturday. 

I love the show.  All of it (well pretty much).  I wasn't always cool with the choices and I never really knew where they were going with some things but I respected the fact that they always tried to make it different. (IMO)

So, I am not at work, I have put my university work aside - yep, grades be damned and I have told my volunteering job that I am out.  Instead of being... well, productive, I will sit and watch a marathon and I'd like help.  There are so many episodes and I cannot decide cos I am lame.  So, pick an episode, 1 episode each and the first 10 "chosen" (sorry, couldn't miss that pun), I will watch.  Make it different.  I don't just want OMWF or Hush.  I want it as varied as The Pack (S1) to Storyteller (S7)!

Oh, yeah... bah - Veronica Mars is on hiatus! :-(

The titke of this blog entry is only funny if you are from the UK like me and we have "Where's Wally?" books.  In America, it is called "Where's Waldo?"  Then again, British or American... it ain't that funny.

The point is, I miss Wallace on the show.  It actually really bothers me how little he is in it and I do not know who to blame... the writers with the LoVe bender or the CW with the lame timeslot.  I mean I'm glad my sister LEGALLY downloads the episodes for me to watch but it sucks that there is no Wallace, little Lamb and Weevil seems reduced to an occasionally helpful sidekick.  I love the show but I'd easily trade in 5 eps of Parker and Piz for a moment of Wallace and Mac and Keith.

Just in my opinion.

ok, im biased, i loved buffy the vampire slayer. the problem with SMG is that apart from that, she seems to choose the wrong roles. she picks predicatble, lame, comforming films that are a mere copy of recent films but only more a pitiful attempt...

she is talented. i think that the problem people have with her at the moment is not the whole, "well he's 16 years older than you" or scientology but the fact that she has changed so quickly. shes pregnant with his child, shes abandoned movie...

im just gonna put this out there, marti noxon's buffy season openers (s5 and s6) were better than joss' season openers. i enjoy marti's writing. i think they had an edge and depth to them that made everything more grown up on every thing shes...

scoobiegangland must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could scoobiegangland possibly have for not rating a single film?
