Hoodwinked and Lost

by cj592 @ 2006-09-24 - 20:28:53

Today I went to see Hoodwinked. I have just put a review up on it, but seriously, this is one film you gotta see!

And I managed at last to see the episode of Lost that I missed during the week. I knew that Michael had been told to release Henry Gale because of the others, but why are they interested in Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley. I think it may be because each of them had seen people/things on the island. And is this whole thing some sort of psychological test? What are the other doing to Walt? So many questions and the series is coming to an end! I hope somethings get answered soon!

The Rat Man, The Skeleton Key and the smugness of Simon

Watching TV is one of things that I enjoy doing to relax. Of an evening my OH and I would just sit and enjoy whatever is on. I know that some people would say 'get a life' but I would have to tell you that we quite enjoy our little life. We can spend hours just laughing in each others company because of what we are watching, or what it has made us talk about. We laugh an awful lot and very loudly. We know this because the Nieihbours have mentioned it. I remember once after Youghurtgate Val (Woman next door) asked if we had heard the row through the walls. When we said yes, she apologised and said they wish they could laugh like we do- which she could hear through the walls!

Anyway I decided to use the new DVD recorder last night, because I wanted to see the Skeleton Key which was on Sky Movies at the same time as Afterlife- and I was not going to miss that! So we recorded onto the HDD on the DVD, which has about 73hours of recording space. Could this mean the end of mucking around with discs?

But back to Afterlife, and what a fantastic episode. The Rat Man was quite freaky! The guy who played the prisoner did it very well. That whole scene in the prison with him and Alison, was so intense! The build up to the Rat Man following her home was good, however I did think the whole 'He wanted to thank me' was a cop out. There was an opportunity to leave a good unfinished storyline there.

What else was good last night? The X-factor. My God Simon can be a smug idiot. When he found out he was getting the under 25's and Louis had got the groups, well I could easily have slapped his face. Although would that have been below the belt? (That was supposed to be an amusing reference to his high waistbands)

And this morning, I managed at last to watch the Scissor sisters live performance on BBC interactive. Cooooooool!

The DVD is far too technical

by cj592 @ 2006-09-24 - 09:25:07

I set up that DVD last night- my god it is so testicle technical. It's one of those ones that automatically downloads the stations through the aerial. And it also looks for freeview channels. However our aerial reception is too crap to pick up freeview channels, so I have over 80 channels looged now on the DVD which are useles to view. And the normal four channels are now logged at position 901 to 904. Thats like right at the other end of the scale!! 8| Anyway, I have told my OH how comicated it can get. But I dont think I need to worry, as whenever she wants something taped it goes ike this...
OH: "Can I record **** please"
Me: "Of course you can"
OH: Pauses a while whilst looking all sweet and lost "Can you do it for me?"

However I am in trouble if the following situation arises

ME: Phoning late from work "I'm gonna be late, can you record something for me?"
OH: Pauses considerably "Err... I'll try"
when I get home
OH: "I'm sorry I dont think it worked."

So It's good to know that I am needed for something
