Title: What are you watching?
Description: Movies/TV Programs/DVDs/Anime


/backslash - October 14, 2006 04:09 PM (GMT)
Similar to 'what are you listening to' but of course switching from music to televised viewing. Recently finished watching one of your DVD collections again? Or perhaps a new/old tv program that's sparked your interest? Or a movie on tv? Or a recorded AFL grand final (Go Eagles! :P )? Or even an anime series since the anime thread's currently debunked?

Post something interesting! Not just things like "well, I saw that annoying Lisa McCune on the Coles commercial" or news programs, etc.

edit: Forgot to mention what I've been watching lately

- Desert Punk (anime), finished watching entire series
- Beast Wars Transformers Season 2, borrowed from FusionCloud. Will have to get the 1st Season off him because I missed the second half and can barely remember how the characters teamed up
- IT Crowd on ABC at 9pm every Wednesday, watch it! Great comedy from creator of Black Books and revolves around people who work in the Information Technology (computer techs) department

BEAST WARS!!!

That show owns, I am officially jealous of you.

Anyway, I'm not really watching that much at the moment. Just the usual Neighbours here and there and on DVD I have been watching Battlestar Galactica which I borrowed from a friend. Awesome show that one, definitely want to get into season 2 once I finish this first season. Soon I will be re-watching Prison Break as well as I will buy the DVD for that, perhaps the Lost one as well.

Bourne Identity - Channel 10

Pissed that it ain't in HD, but you can't have everything. :)

Haven't seen it before, and I'm really liking it thus far! :D

I watched season 2 of Lost last weekend, 16 episodes in one day. :P

I watched Battlestar Galactica 3x03 thismorning after Sunrise, yes, I said Sunrise.

The Batman:- This is the new series thats set in three year's into Batmans "career." Six episodes in now and I like it.

The animation is slick and stylish(red and sometimes purple night sky). The characters are different but familar from there other incarnations, the joker in particular is instantly familar but fresh at the same time. The Batmoblie is also awsome which is always necessary for a good batman anything.

The storys themselves are good to bad really mixed bag I think. I can't be more detailed then that now 'casue I'm feeling lazy.

This is being showed on saturday morings on nine but hey split one episode up into three parts and shove all these shit shows in between. This is the worst treatment of a TV show by nine since Farscape.

I have the first season of this and of the 90's series(I'd have more if they would just god damn release them here).
While markedly different from one another both still "feel" like Batman if that makes sense to any of you.

You can gett the American version of Veronica Mars, as they are also region 4.

Ali G - October 17, 2006 07:37 AM (GMT)
I ordered it from Amazon. Resident-Seven, America aren't Region 4, they're Region 1. I can watch it because I've got a multi-region DVD player.

Eyce - October 17, 2006 09:52 AM (GMT)
I've been watching Supernatural Season 2.

Resident-Seven - October 17, 2006 10:23 AM (GMT)
Get a clue Ali G, the Veronica Mars DVD's are also region 4.

I thought you meant to say America were also Region 4. My DVDs aren't anyway, they're only Region 1.

Finished watching the following tonight.

Heroes - Season 1, Episode 4
New show currently airing in the US which I imagine will be picked up here for next season. The premise interested me (about a bunch of folks around the globe who start discovering their extraordinary powers) and so far, so good. Hiro, rocks!

Battlestar Galactica - Season 3, Episode 3
The best show ever, just keeps getting better.

NismoR34 - October 17, 2006 04:21 PM (GMT)
Horrah for another BSG fan, although I am nowhere near as far into the show as you are.

Slashie, screw ye!

D43M0N - October 17, 2006 09:21 PM (GMT)
Rented out a few DVDs last night -

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Being John Malkovich
2001 (which I always fall asleep in when it's shown on TV)

Eternal Sunshine was nothing short of brilliant. Why is it that every single movie that screws around with time is done so damn brilliantly?

Being John Malkovich, I'm only 75 odd minutes through, but what a headtrip. So much to think about in this movie, and so immeadiatly quotable.

2001 I haven't watched, I'll save it until I've finished the assignments I'm meant to be doing.

Resident-Seven - October 18, 2006 02:02 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I saw BSG 3x03 on Sunday. I watched Supernatural 2x01 tonight, and have the next 2 eps to watch. Also, yay, Lost 3x03 tomorrow.

D43M0N - October 19, 2006 04:39 AM (GMT)
Finished watching Being John Malkovich, brilliant stuff.

Also, started watching 2001 around 7PM. I fell asleep about 40 minutes through. Maybe it's the movie.

I'd like to watch it but after looking at your post, then the TV guide, I've decided to ditch the idea of recording it

Channel 9's program guide

8.05 The Batman
8.10 The Shak
8.40 The Batman
8.50 Timeblazers
9.20 The Batman
9.30 The Sleepover Club
/end viewing at 9.30

Bloody hell! Talk about trying to squeeze out cheap ratings..

---------------

Currently watching:

- Berserk (anime). Shoddy animation that's showing age but it's held together by a brilliant story about a mercenary with a gigantic sword with a hidden past

- Blood+ (anime). Blood+ is the successor to the movie Blood: The Last Vampire. Follows the story of a girl with the same name as the one as the movie (Saya) but apparently they have no relation to eachother except for being a vampire project that kills demon beasts.

- Bleach ep100 (anime). Yes, they're up to 100 now! And still stuck on fillers..

- Xmen 3 (to watch later tonight). Haven't seen it yet, heard it's crap but at $2.95 rental you can't go too wrong

_MetalliX_ - October 21, 2006 07:16 AM (GMT)
Heroes - Season One: Watch out for this show soon in Aus, it won't disappoint.

Prison Break - Season Two: Slowly becoming frustrating to watch, hope they pick up the pace. Currently taking a hiatus in the states.

Lost - Season Three: Still as compelling as ever, but perhaps overloading viewers with an enormous amount of story archs.

EDIT:

It also seems I'll be watching Today Tonight, usually this is all ambulance journalism but this story seems interesting. Last week they ran a story on Daddy's girls who go through life without a care in the world, their money issues handled by their parents. Well it seems they are following this up by giving the girls a reality check, should be good!

In terms of DVDs i haven't ot any movies in a while. (might poick up X3) but i am slowly working through season 2 of Lost. It flows so smoothly on DVD, you can just watch episode after episode. Haven't checked out the extras yet, though i have listened to a few audio commentaries, which are informative and entertaining. GG.

Jericho: Seems to get more worse by the week. The cliffhanger wasn't bad though, probably the only thing that'll make me tune in next week. Apart from that, i can see myself not watching this in 2 or 3 weeks time.

Lost Season 3: As Metallix said, compelling as ever. (and as always for every question the writers answer, they'll have you asking three more.) Episodes 1 & 2 were excellent. Episode 3 stands as the best so far. The dream sequence is easily one of those scenes that you'll want to watch over and over. But yah, so far S3 is as brilliant as the first 2 seasons imo.

Prison Break series 2 oh baby I am hooked on this show, can't wait to watch them in good quality on dvd. Dvd box sets FTW!

Resident-Seven - October 26, 2006 09:46 AM (GMT)

Since tonight is Halloween, I'm planning on watching ... Halloween of course.

Also watching series 5 of Red Vs Blue as it comes out.

And listening to - what else? Weird Al's Straight Outta Lynwood, plus Ennio Morricone's Movie Masterpieces.

Random Hero - October 31, 2006 06:39 AM (GMT)

Actually, I've got it on DVD. As far as I know, it's not on any channels, free or cable.

Ali G - November 1, 2006 09:31 AM (GMT)
I've now finished the first season of Veronica Mars, so I'm going to be waiting for Christmas for the second. I also just bought the first season of Six Feet Under, so that's going to be next.

Drake - November 2, 2006 03:43 AM (GMT)
I tried getting into something about veronica mars besides her looks but I just can't. :(

Been downloading a batch of shows via torrents. Really looking forward to when 24 returns.

Veronica Mars: Season Three [Definitely a notch below the previous seasons thus far. Needs more compelling mysteries and a less campy feel. The jokes have become way too forced.]

Prison Break: Season Two [Maybe it's the ridiculously high body count or the excessive attempts at 'swerving' viewer expectation, but the quality has dropped significantly in the last few episodes.]

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip [Been ripped up by the critics unfairly. If this wasn't an Aaron Sorkin show I'd bet it would have been accepted with open arms. Shame NBC seem like they'll be pulling the plug on it early because of a lack viewers though.]

The Office: Season Three [US] [Funny sitcom. UK version is still a bit better though.]

Kidnapped [Storyline can border on as silly as Prison Break but the acting is quite solid.]

Jericho [I honest don't know why I'm still persisting with this. It's almost as slow and melodramatic as Lost, plus it has far too many typical one-dimensional American characters for my liking.]

That makes me sad to hear, but I've still got to see Season Two, so I've got something to look forward to.

Season Two is indeed excellent. Still, nothing tops the first season, especially the central mystery.
