I am officially renaming "Six Feet Under" to "The General Electric 'What the Fuck?' Hour." Thank you, that is all.

I used to work for GE. We said that all the time. :p

Y'know, I'm kinda glad we don't have HBO...

Your icon kills me! I love it!








And Professor Snape can have his wicked way with me anytime he wants. Oh baby.

wastedfairy made my icon so all the credit goes to her :D

I'm a Lupin girl, myself, but alas, he doesn't give detentions very often...

[lacrimaeveneris.livejournal.com]

I second the motion. Love the icony.

This has NOTHING to do with "Six Feet Under".... but I Was watching part of "Dante's Peak" on Scifi, and the first thing that went through my head was "I can SO see Cleolinda M15M-ing this thing"

[bemysty.livejournal.com]

Care to spoil me, perhaps? We're only somewhere in the first season over here -_-

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, I officially decided on the name change about the time that Nate's dead wife (who I don't think you've met yet, if you're in season one) appeared to him in a dream. And that's fine; that's par for the SFU course. The problem is that she was wearing a giant purple petunia costume and started throwing onions at him.

[mehinda.livejournal.com]

I thought that dream sequence and Ruth's 'heads in jars' sequence were a bit Ally McBeal-esque. Outside of that, I thought it was a pretty good episode.

[bemysty.livejournal.com]

I think I've just decided to back up that name change.

And, strangely enough, the weirdness is why I love SFU so much and can't wait for the new episodes. If I think about it, I didn't have that good TV crack since American Gothic (well, we had a Twin Peak re-run last year, but really - does that still count?)

[apoplexia.livejournal.com]

Oooh, American Gothic, I am so glad that I've finally managed to *ahem* acquire that. Fucking great show sadly cut down in its prime.

Actually, with SFU, I don't so much have a problem with the pseurealistic moments, since they're very much in keeping with what made the show so much fun in its first season.

[ianbrill.livejournal.com]

I'm with you on the name change. The whole arc with Nate warrants such a change.

yep

[jasonbeast.livejournal.com]

I refer to SFU as "Really Weird TV."

Tonight was weirder than usual, and it seems to be veering further in that direction with every new ep.

[loesaurus.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Based solely on the sheer number of times my inner dialogue screamed "WTF" in 60 minutes. I want what Alan Ball has been having.

[reverend-betty.livejournal.com]

I think I might have to retire that show when Justin Theroux leaves. I find myself yelling "whatthefuckiswrongwiththesepeople!" a little too often for my liking.

[edda.livejournal.com]

I rented the first three episodes on tape and thought it was OK, but only that. Maybe I should play catch-up and find out what the whole hullabaloo is over.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

See, I haven't even seen the first three seasons. I hear the first one is really good, though--I mean, really, it usually takes a show a couple of episodes to find itself. We've been watching "Entourage" because we're too lazy to change the channel after SFU, and the third episode last night was the first one that didn't make me want to beat someone.

[vodou-chile.livejournal.com]

Damn! I missed this week.
I'll have to catch it on "On Demand".

[elbiesee.livejournal.com]

Don't get HBO, alas.

Subject change... Has anybody read "Eats, Shoots and Leaves"? I'm halfway through now, and I thought of Cleolinda and her grammar/punctuation piracy somewhere in the second chapter.

Nothing more to add. It's Monday.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I gave it to one of my friends for her birthday last month, so she may or may not have started reading it by now.

[gsalinas.livejournal.com]

Actually we've both read it! You should pick it up and give it a try.

If you like six feet under, hbo (or at least the movie network) has a bunch of other really good series out there that are worth checking out.

Dead Like Me is great (how can one go wrong with Mandy Patinkin?), though they have just started into the second season. Its the story of a girl who gets killed by a toilet seat from space, whereupon she becomes a grim reaper, taking people's souls just before they die. She gets the name and time and place of death on post-it notes from Mandy, who is her supervisor/foreman. Its friggin hilarious, but somehow very insightful too.

Slings and Arrows is about an actor (played by Paul Gross!)who comes back to the theatre to become the art director for a production of Hamlet, the same play he went mad in mid-performance 7 years ago. It parallels the play in that he is going nuts, his father figure/mentor slept with his girlfriend at the time (in spite of being gay), and now said mentor has died and he can see his ghost (madness? perhaps...) Its incredibly funny (duh, Paul Gross) and includes perhaps the best acting i have ever witnessed. Its also playing on the movie network (i think it was an hbo special too), and though its 1/3 of the way into the season its worth watching even without the first few episodes.

And of course there is Carnivale and Out Of Order, which are also great, though i dont think they are playing right now.

I like HBO, or at least their "special presentations".

Of course, you probably dont have time... :)
