hey, if i can count my comics, you can count your Tintin books. (mmgh!) i caught the Heroes pilot way back when but wasn't turned into a Believer. the excellent Aro Video have season one in stock. it's on my list of things i should get around to seeing but there are quite a few other shows ahead of it (like The Sopranos). American Gangster is similarly placed on my list - so many lists! - of movies i should see. caught an ad last night pushing the extended Director's Special Edition al-freaking-ready. you re-watched I Am Legend? nope, haven't seen it. yep, it's lower than Gangster on my list. i recommend the novella.

Dirty grass !!! But it’s true, though the list is shorter the last couple of years – sad to admit. And TinTin does count !!! And may I add it’s not geeky missy – practical is how I’d describe it – I mean you don’t want to get halfway through the latest John Grisham and realise you’ve read it before…..hang on, not a good example….

Speaking of pilots – there is a pilot for Heroes, anyone seen it & anyone watched the show ? I tempted to hire Season 1 which includes pilot, but it’s a lot viewing if the show is shite.

Watched American Gangster on the weekend – I liked it. Wasn’t expecting much, but it flowed quite well – which may have been helped by not knowing the story.Denzel was excellent (again better than Training Day) and I especially liked to play “spot the rapper”.

And re-watched I am Legend. Still average, 1 maybe 2 thirds are good, but ending way too tidy. Anyone read the novella ?

not that i'm a grass or anyfink but Ash has been tracking his reading for as long as i've known him -which will be (bloody hell!) twenty years next year).

Oh my goodness, Ben, you’ve been keeping a reading list. Since you were eight! How wonderful. How endearingly geeky. How I wish I had done that.

i do remember feeling shortchanged on quite a few levels when i discovered there was more to the world than Readers Digest editions. but The Little Golden Book of Fairy Tales will always have a special place in my post-colonial heart.

just watched ep two of A Teenage Guy, His Mom and His Very Own Terminator and it is a big improvement on the pilot. The Goddess and i have noticed that a lot of the pilots this season have been rather try-hard in discouraging you from reaching for the remote. what new series we’ve stuck with this season have been in spite of their pilots.

Wow. I just lost an hour, but gained the useless statistic that I’ve read at least 50 of the 1001 books, have another 14 which I think I’ve read but would have to check (sadly I have a list of every book I’ve read since I was 8, but it’s quite long) have another 20 or so on my shelves (about half of which I probably will read at some point), and have read 9 of those books in incomplete or bowdlerized versions when I was in my early teens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Bowdler Damn you Mr. Bowdler. Damn you to hell.
Also,re: Sarah Connor. The second episode was much, much, better.
