A little bitterness. A little apathy. A little dancing-nekkid-on-the-table-style raving fandom.
First I would like to bitch. Blockbuster Video:
a) You know I don’t like bright lights and public places. Why must you traumatise me further by conjuring up arcane billing systems so that I never know how much a trip to the video store will cost?
b) We *all* thought DVDs were the greatest thing ever, but the fact is you can’t play them more than twice without them turning to shit. We need another solution.
c) Just for the hell of it - please don’t pretend you like anime. It’s clear you only ever buy the first disc of a series and leave us hanging.
Okay, so I managed to watch Sean of the Dead, but only by using my computer to rip it and play it off the hard disc (which, I suspect, may not even be legal). It was a pretty good film - at least the best zombie film I’ve seen - and I was glad there was a happy ending. But I guess I made the mistake of also borrowing Serenity, which is a fucking indescribably tops film-
ohmygodohmygodohmygod I wanna have Joss Whedon’s babies!!
- and by contrast Sean of the Dead was good but not great. Yeah, I know you hate me. Now excuse me while I surf the web for dodgy DVDs of Firefly.
Squee!
Is that manly?

After you have seen Firefly, then I will show you my totally radical hat that I wore to a preview screening of Serenity. It’s a pretty rad hat.
But, boohoo about Shaun of the Dead. It may be more satisfying o a second viewing? There’s a lot of foreshadowing and and stuff that isn’t funny until you know how it ends.

Many Goths read SQUEE. Do you consider them manly? (The male ones at least.)

You’ve obviously never met him in real life!
Colin Farrell maybe…

Firefly/Serenity. Heck yeah. Get/buy/steal the series however you can.

Boof - I’ll be eagerly awaiting the dvds so I can see you in your… awesome hat. Hmm.
Switch - what do you mean ‘read’ squee? I was just saying it as an expletive.
James - a) it was a JOKE and b) Colin Farrell? What a girl you are.
Shane - how come that series hasn’t been re-run a million times? That’s what I want to know.

I know what you’re use of Squee was about. I just happened to pass across a copy of FILLER BUNNY just before commenting.
Still, do you think your exclamation was manly?

a) Oh, Squee is a comic book! Now I get it.
b) hell no.

In changing the hosting stuff, you need to use www.jamesobrien.id.au
And yes, I know it was a joke. So was my comment about the unwashed Irishman.
