What'cha been consuming?
« on: April 10, 2009, 12:14:15 AM »
Idea stolen from N'Gai's and Shawn Elliot's podcast.  The ideas is to basically discuss your recent media consumption, be it books, movies, music, and so on. 

Listening:Earth Wind and Fire, Prince: Purple Rain Soundtrack, some Orbital mixes
Reading: On Food and Cooking, The French Laundry Cookbook, and tons of magazines--Economist, New Yorker, food rags.  Plus my graphic novel backlog keeps staring me in the face from my nightstand.
Watching: Friday Night Lights, LOST.  Looking to get into The Wire real soon, though.

Burning through West Wing on netflix, midway through season 6 now.
Reading lots of mtg decklists, articles, etc.  Lamers I know, but I figure I'll have plenty of books to read this summer in school.

It gets better as it goes along, but I was pretty much immediately hooked.  I watched the first season in like 2 days.

Sons of Anarchy?  That show was awesome, you cunt.  It's filled with character actors--of course it's going to be wee bit too dramatic.  I hope your kidneys hurt as much tomorrow morning as mine do all the time.

SOA got better as time went on, but they start out the same with too many events and not enough characterization.  The character actors were th best part of the show.

Actually, that about sums up my view (and a lot of critics).  I thought it started out okay but not great.  Luckily, I pirated the whole season at once so I could watch it in big blocks and immediately get to the better shit once things developed a bit.

I just rewatched it, actually, and I think the first season would be a bit better for wear if there weren't so much murderin' going on early on, especially from the sons.
