Something new here... A quick list of things I'm liking at the moment, movies or TV I've seen recently, books I've read, music I've heard, etc.

Movies:
- V for Vendetta: "Vendetta, vendetta!" But seriously, folks. I really enjoyed this movie. It looked incredible, and a little story about undermining a corrupt and overbearing government is, well, let's go with timely.
- Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story: Part One in our Steve Coogan double feature. The man might just be a genius, and this is a great way of telling the tale a seemingly untellable book. It made me want to read it, and for me to want to read an 18th century British novel that's saying something.
- 24 Hour Party People: Part Two... Going 3 years earlier, it's semi-true version of the story of a real person and a music scene. Funny and snappy, 2 hours flew by like it was nothing.
Books:
- The Biggest Game in Town: A 23 year old book about the World Series of Poker, from back when it was getting huge (by their standards then), but still actually small potatoes (by ours).
TV:
- Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance: Not to geek out or anything here, but in preparation of the upcoming 3rd season they're running twice-weekly shorts that will bridge the storyline gap between the 2nd and 3rd. The first is out, and I haven't even watched it yet, but if it's half as good as the series itself, it'll be twice as good as most of the other shit on TV. At least until Studio 60 premieres.
