The Medusa Fora

ooh Hulu...I think I love you

In the Line of Duty - is he a good cop/bad cop drama? Great cast and twists. Fantastic ending...my jaw was on the floor

Some months ago I had a hankering for one of the Comic Strips show - a parody of the "Famous Five' books. Sadly I didn't have the patience to sit thru it on youtube, maybe I wasn't in the mood...I hope my humour hasn't changed over the years.....anyway whilst searching I was reminded of other floating members of the Comic Strip such as Peter Capaldi ...and so ended up watching Comic Strip's "Jealousy"...which I hadn't seen when out originally, but it was beautifully silly. Using a VPN, i also got to watch The Accused on BBC iplayer...and again Peter Capaldi was on an episode.

So of to youtube i went searching for Peter Capaldi...and there it was....7 yrs after its inception...'The Thick of it'.
And yes...Hulu have all of it for free, and the new season is being screened to coincide with the screening over in the UK...so no spoilers. I love Hulu...if i could type those heart shaped things now I would

My sister alerted me that a movie had been released prior to the series...she is in Internal Communications and had to watch it with her US counterparts on an offsite conference to highlight some of the cultural communication differences. The UK contingent saw the funny side, and took little of the show literally....the guy hosting the seminar got pulled aside by the US delegate and told sternly not to even think about playing the movie when the equivalent seminar was to be held stateside......anyway - Netflix have it- its called 'In the Loop"

No one can swear like a scotsman, and The Thick of It is the sweariest show I have every seen.....and its smart swearing, not just a bunch of F's C's and B's. Am sure many of you have seen it, but 2012 has been my year of Peter Capaldi.

....in an example of life imitating art

In one of the episodes of In the Thick of it....Nicola Murray, the head of DoSAC is faffing over getting the right balance of gravitas, speed and grace when rehearsing her walk up to the Cenotaph to lay a wreath for Remembrance Sunday

and then this happened the other day.....

Spooky....just reading Here Comes Everybody and James' mentioned Shane, Terry and Frank make cameo's in The Comic Strips Eat The Rich. Am sure I saw it when originally aired, but don't think the Pogues were on my radar then. Looks like YouTube have it.

I know better, but 75% are complete media whores and that's kinda funny.
DMX was amazing last season.

I'd blame my cold, but I think I really like idiot TV.

I NEVER watch Jay Leno - never could stand him even before he shat on Conan O'Brien - but I watched the President's appearance last night.

Highlights:

Jay: Is there a cure for Romnesia?
O: Well, Obamacare DOES cover pre-existing conditions.


And:

Jay: What's the deal with Trump? It's like me and Letterman!

O: It dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya. We had constant run-ins on the soccer field, He wasn’t very good and resented it. When we finally moved to America, I thought it would be over.

Also watched Leno for the first time in years and thought the Prez was superb.

Fuck fucking Jay Leno. Fuck.
I mean, really...

We're halfway through season 1 of "Boardwalk Empire" and loving it. Quite like how they've written the Prohibitionists vis a vis their relationship to the suffragettes, feminism, etc - the writers know their stuff!

Let your freak flag fly indeed.

Sheldon gets fired and weaves.

'Loose Women' - What a pile of CACK!

Been watching "Walking Dead" which is really just standard zombie fare spread accross a tv show instead of just a move. So nothing special but it passes the time if you like that sort of thing.

And i do prefer the traditional, ambling zombies to the super-fast ninja ones.
