sci fi now and then
THEN: Having recently rewatched the original widescreen cut of The Empire Strikes Back on my shiny, new special edition DVD, I must say, it stands the test of time and is still thoroughly enjoyable. Sure, I can quote blocks of stilted script along with the movie as it plays, but that just adds to my viewing pleasure. I have yet to watch the dvd containing the johnny come lately "revised" version to do an official compare and contrast, but I think it may have to wait. The joy of seeing the original is still too much with me.
NOW: Battlestar Galactica? Best frakkin' show on television today. I've only just finished watching season 2.0, but Tivo's been saving up the 3rd season for us and I'm itching to get to it. There's no stilted dialogue, but fully realized characterization, exiting twists and pretty great acting make this my favorite action show right now. Genre busting.
In other news: Still managing to avoid a trip to The Doldrums. Weekend was lovely, seeing Bun was fun...though I feel like I left a lot unsaid that I wanted to let her in on. There's also a rather nice four day break in front of us. Sure, there'll be some traditional thanksgiving disfunction to enjoy, but I'm actually looking forward to it all.
Hope I'm not cursing myself...am I cursing myself? IF so, I wish to have the curse reversed.Labels: dose of mikey, random review
