So I watched the last of Derren's Events (How to take down a casino. Or not.) yesterday and I was quite baffled by the fact that the whole series ended on a failure.

Well it was a pretty close call since the ball of the roulette wheel ended up next to the number he guessed so it *was* impressive nonetheless but still. The guy who thought he was losing 5000 pounds made a special face when it happened and I love that the tech guys were all "don't worry we're giving your money back". End credits roll. LOL what a ludicrous ending !

Actually the part that really made my jaw drop was the trajectory guess on the squash court. I still can't wrap my head around it O_o

On second thoughts I kinda liked that he failed in the end because it was sort of cool in its unexpectedness but today, oh I JUST LOVE IT.

Because thanks to that, he's now posting silly vids of himself rambling about it while doing a Stewie (from Family Guy) impression. And it completely made my day.

And those of you on twitter can follow me too if you have nothing better to do than listen to the transparent and lonely bids for affection from a balding middle aged man who ends living out of smug guesswork. ANYWAY TA TA ! The mind control device is almost ready.

This entire quote is the essence of my obsessive love for this man.


Now for the rest of the telly watching,

( Dexter aka Desperate Serial Killer )


( House Md aka Married, Without Children )


( Gossip Girl )


Supernatural was very impressive, especially in the acting department. Jensen and Jared were at their most brilliant here.

Dollhouse is suprising because the start of the season is Echo centric but the episodes are really good and Dushku can act. Alexis's character needs to get more interesting for my sanity's sake though.

I liked HIMYM and I LOVED LOVED LOVED the Big Bang Theory, especially the Sheldon/Penny stuff and the Howard/Raj bits ♥.

FlashForward 1x02 was super weak imho, despite the fact that Jack Davenport had more scenes, which makes the mind boggle. I can't see myself sticking around for too long but I'll keep watching it for the few interesting stuff and my hope that it gets amazing soon (which I doubt).

Buzzcocks sans Simon was not the same but still very funny. I love the show for what it is so I'll stay committed to it.

My love/hate thing for Russell Brand has switched to Noel Fielding btw. I only have naughty feelings for Russell right now (saw Doing Life and the extras earlier and his brilliance is a bit blinding).


Now on the Joseph Gordon-Levitt front (yes please), I'm about to watch Brick and I also found out that he already did a film with Zooey Deschanel called Manic. He's the lead again and the pitch is pretty interesting *will get her hands on that one next*


Today is Glee/Criminal Minds Day.
I'm such a big fan of those todays.

♥

*gah* So much to update about. SO LAZY.

So last weekend I invited fairy_bliss, foui_the_brave (aka Untitled) and ephyse to watch Children of Earth Day 5 all together for the first time (*hmmph* *kicks Eph*) and do a little marathon of the whole thing afterwards to celebrate Torchweek.
So we did watch Day 5 in shocking silence because honestly, I for my part, was fucking horrified. But in a good way ! I think that the series as a whole was one of the best piece of television we've had all year and I WILL NEVER FORGET JOHN FROBISHER. HE WAS A GOOD MAN *dies a little inside*

We had a lovely chat afterwards (outside, under the sun *gasps*) and fairy_bliss left us for the night because she had to wake up early the next day for the french HP premiere (which I'm glad she did now because she was able to warn me about the big cuts they made in the story, more on that later).

We never got the COE marathon under way because we realized that all in one go so soon after having seen it would have probably ended with us killing ourselves. We did rewatch *that* death though and I didn't cry this time :) (which meant that I actually heard what they were saying lol).

So we had a comedy night instead, and it felt really good after all the gloom and doom fest of Torchweek. We watched both Alan and Jimmy Carr'stand up. I only knew Jimmy Carr through the big fat quizz but OMFG HE IS HILARIOUS. I mean you want to slap him hard because his humor is horrific and he has the most annoying face ever but you can't help yourself from laughing like mad. His impro skills are really impressive.
We also watched some bits and pieces of Tim Minchin'So Fucking Rock (♥) and Foui introduced us to Eddie Izzard which I knew by reputation but I'm so glad she did because INSTA LOVE for the man. We finished the night with Let's Go To Prison at Eph's request and she loved it so much that I could talk her through snagging my Arrested Development s1 boxset :D

Thanks again girls, I had a lovely geeky weekend ♥

I have now my hands on the 4 stand up shows of Jimmy Carr (watched In Concert and Live) and Eddie Izzard's Dress To Kill (which was watched and LUUUUVED).


Those days I'm cheating on my OTP because I kinda... Fell back into Ten/Jack and am reading anything post COE with them in it. I blame it on my love for COE!Jack and his awesome character development, and me being obsessed by the follow up to the series.


I also fell back into Dexter because I caught up with season 3 in two days AND IT WAS MADE OF WIN. Well the ending was less good than the previous two finales but the Dexter/Miguel Prado storyline kept me on the edge of my seat. The actors had an incredible chemistry ! Oh and Michael C. Hall ? Still nom nom nomable and brilliant *__*

I still have Alias season 5 to watch and Chuck to caught up with and then I'll be able to try something new.

In other news I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince yesterday with the bro and fairy_bliss, and apart from the bad seats, I COMPLETELY LOVED IT !

It was gorgeous, both incredibly funny and dark in places. The young cast was the best they've ever been so far and the others were excellent, as always.
JIM BROADBENT STOLE THE WHOLE MOVIE FOR ME. HE WAS UTTERLY PRICELESS AND SPOT ON.

( spoilery ramblings about the good, the bad and the ugly )


All in all a big YAY for this one. I can't wait to see it in all its IMAX glory when we'll be in Glasgow !
