i *think* the last film i saw was unstoppable - it was one of those films that on paper should've been AWFUL but was actually really good :D i saw megamind earlier the same day and enjoyed it, loved all the old skool geek jokes :)

Re: What Are You Reading?-#3 one of my favourite books of all time :)

yeah that would seem a little weird. i just don't know, y'know, maybe this shuffle will give it a shot in the arm. i'm enjoying this season a LOT more than last (but like i said that's hardly difficult) and for all that i said above i do hope it continues because i enjoy it, and especially if...

oh for god's sake, if you swore you'd never watch again because saint melina left, don't watch again, but don't try to comment on something you clearly don't get. many many other people are still watching (10 million of em!) and enjoying the show perfectly well enough without her (in fact i like...

Re: What Are You Reading?-#3 i'm reading - wait for it - experimental and methodological articles on the phonological, lexical & semantic retrieval capacities of aphasic patients. i have to write an essay on it. it's due 11th jan, i'm in chicago from 29th dec til 7th jan. EEEEEEKKKKK...

absolutely. i don't know what'll happen to csi ny after this season but i'm at the point now where i don't really care. i still watch it and even enjoy at least bits of it, and this season is infinitely better than the last one (ha, not exactly hard), but it's nothing like as good as it was in...

^ gah, ick. i officially <3 this picture :D

^ very true, the rest of us have had to see it go through a slow & steady decline, you get to see it get better :D

infinitely better than season 6 which frankly is all i needed. i think jo has been a breath of fresh air that was much needed by the show as well as the viewers and her entrance has delivered a bit of creative spark that had been lagging. i've not missed stella at all (but i'm not surprised)...

only that they're kinda screwed at hte moment and it's a real shame that after fighting so hard to win their sovereignty from evil oppressors (that would be us, the british) they are now losing it thanks to mismanagment by their government and banking sector. i think their recent newspaper...

^ agreed, they need to have at least little hints in order for his storyline to work, so i'm guessing these are a set up for that, at least partly anyway. sure they do, i've been out socially with many of my male coworkers, shopping sometimes or coffee, or lunch, even dinner, quite often (ok...

^ and i can see a tiny little violin playing madly in the corner :guffaw: i think that was probably the point - i mean, when i watched it my first thought was "is she pissed off at someone ruining an otherwise nice occasion by pickpocketing, or because mac's gone back into driven cop mode...

yeah, i think i saw it more as elwood helpfully put it: yep, this was pretty much how i saw it too - the idea that mac could be in the middle of a hot date (i'll leave that for you to dissect!) and would still go after anyone remotely suspect (for, like you say, jaywalking or i dunno...

i liked how it was left (presumably deliberately) unclear whether she was more annoyed that the guy was pickpocketing during her downtime, or that mac actually wanted to go after him. it was quite funny. definitely true, i think she flummoxes mac a little and baffled mac is always good to...

that i agree with, basically. i also don't think it was probably intentional, unless you take into account a broader social stereotypy that inevitably occurs and is often subconscious. it'd be interesting to see the casting notes to see whether they specified race when casting the role, or...

completely agree. i think it's to do with her being so laid back. stella was quite angsty and it meant that if mac was angsty then she just got more angsty so he got more angsty and it was a vicious circle, jo's relaxed attitude seems to have a calming effect on him, which makes him less angsty...

although she *did* try that first, and that was when he started to strangle her, so i guess that just proves the point that she was acting in SD and her defensive strategy had to escalate as his attack did. yep. she couldn't have known who would benefit most (because i think if she'd taken a...

Re: What Are You Reading?-#3 persevere with it, you won't regret it! it's a bit more complex than either the various movies or the musicals allow for - i love at least one movie and the musical but the book is sooooooooooo much better. one of my all time favourites :)
