[fandom] my dvr has grown a brain

So I'm sitting here, innocently watching An American Werewolf in London, which I dvred back before Halloween with the intention of watching it on Halloween (a plan that was foiled when Dad and J. surprised me with an overnight visit instead of a drop the stuff and run). It finishes, I go to delete it, and realize, hey, there's still another hour of recorded stuff here. What gives?

Apparently, my dvr decided I needed an hour of The Dark Half. I'd much rather it had decided I need the entire movie, but still, if this is how my dvr is going to grow its own brain, I think I'm okay with that.

(This reminds me of a discussion I had in class the other day, about whether we liked targeted ads or not.)

Now I am going to watch two episodes of Pushing Daisies. [livejournal.com profile] nikitangel got me hooked on this show the last time I visited her. It's kind of precious, I think, and I love it.

It's turned into winter here, and it is very, very cold.

ETA: If the rumor I just heard about PD is true, I'm really sorry, because it's all my fault. I tend to kill the things I love - or, rather, as they say in Practical Magic, paraphrased: I shake their hands and they later end up dead. I touch them, and they're gone.

Sorry!

[fandom] Rogue

So I'm watching Rogue and wasn't sure at first (and it could still go super wrong later, a la Wolf Creek), but I like the characters so far, in particular Kate, played by Radha Mitchell. I love when I'm surprised by people in movies; I didn't expect her. She leads boat tours of crocodiles and is pretty awesome. Her accent is gorgeous, too.

(I just finished watching The Ruins which was so much better than I expected.)

spoilers )

I purchased both The Ruins and Rogue together on a whim (and on deep discount) and I love both of them. That was a good movie buying day, apparently. Now I'm going to watch Can't Hardly Wait because I've been craving Seth Green. I watched part of season three of BtVS the other day, just for him.
