Movies

Most Recently Seen
Inside Deep Throat - this documentary is consistently engaging and provides a fascinating look at the emerging porn industry of the 1970s.

Most Anticipated
I'm going to give some love to Neil Gaiman's MirrorMask here (mainly because I've already seen Serenity)


TV

Currently Watching
I've had a few shows return in the past couple of weeks. Gilmore Girls is the one that makes me the most ecstatic, and The O.C. was entertaining enough and basically a table-setter for the season. As far as new shows, Reunion was incredibly, mind bogglingly awful, and Supernatural was quite terrific. Bones is still sitting on the TiVo, and I'm looking forward to it since David Boreanaz is the star. Oh, and Battlestar Galactica this past week was sucky for the first half hour, but the second half payoff was just outstanding. Lucy Lawless is hot.

Most Anticipated
You know, I'm surprised to be saying it, but my answer here is My Name Is Earl.
